    a bar with bottles of alcohol
    D H.

    I love this bar. It never fails me. Drinks are poured as they should be. Obviously the owner is from a better time when owning a bar was about more than just penny pinching. Bars like this are meant for one thing. Drinking and laughter. If you want something more on the classy side, go elsewhere. If you want to drink your worries away, you won't spend too much doing it here, and the people are always interesting. I mean it's Keene for gods sake. Stories are as plentiful as the booze that backs them.

    Wanted to try something new while staying in Keene between ski days. Given the current cold snap,…read moreit was right around the corner from where I was staying. I was solo so sat at the bar. Bartender didn't impress. Not sure he was experienced. Give away was putting olives on martini containing grapefruit juice, not mention an even number of olives (bad luck). The menus were fancy and I ordered a shaved roast beef sandwich with au jus. Shaved roast beef was on par with Steak-umms. French fries were your typical bagged fries. All in all it was ok at best. Was hoping for a little more given the quality of the other restaurants in the area.

    We ate here a 2nd time. First time was brunch and also not very good…read more Anyways ceaser salad was chopped to bits, the homemade dressing was okay, a few sad store bought croutons tried to liven it up. We also got the hot sauce marinated fried chicken sandwich, it was kinda wet and tough. Mass manufactured shoestring fries were also pretty sad fry wise. This used to be one of my favorite spots in Keene before we lived in Colorado. It changed hands a few years ago and hasn't been the same. The old menu was pretty small, and that is usually a sign of freshness and quality control. Service was okay, polite, and mostly accurate until the bartender filled what was remaining of my soda water with tap water. I'd stick with alcohol if you are coming here. The chicken fingers and bacon wrapped chicken were usually winners, I'd try those before anything else. But honestly with the competition in Keene for dining options I'd rather go elsewhere. It seems like you are doing alright covers wise, and I hope both experiences were off moments for you. Sorry to

    Decent pub food. Open late. Was here twice recently. First visit, Tasha at bar, felt welcoming…read more Second, didn't get bartender name, far less so. Good salad. Very good steak. Mediocre french onion soup. Average fries and tacos, big portions. Mediocre pizza. Good community vibe, though empties out late. BUT for me, a non-drinker? On visit #2, I noticed soda + 3 refills was $10, $2.50 each refill. Seemed excessive, complicated refills (having to formally consent to more, no top off), doesn't favor designated drivers. Bartender #2 shrugged and said some people order only a soda all day, as if that explains it. Except I usually order an entree or tip generously if only getting a soda, so I am not they. Maybe make a "free refills with entree" or "free refills for designated driver" rule, but not an "others abuse this, so we overcharge you" rule. Or expect I'll take it personally. I'd been trying to decide if I should be a regular. Bartender #2 expended zero energy in trying to convince me I was wrong to think I shouldn't come back. She made it super clear she thought that it just fine if I wasn't back. I'd been nothing but kind and polite, other than noting at the end that the policy unfair. No "I'll talk to management" or "yeah, that's unfair" from her. She owned that policy like it was her idea and a good one.

    Great people, pool and a lot of fun. They have different pool events and at times they have karaokeread more
