Blueberry beer
Natasha M.

Quaint local bar with a good beer selection. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Food isn't always available due to the time of day or if a food truck is on site.

Pool Area

Cold beer, outdoor seating , and daily happy hours. What more can you ask for in a local bar. Parking is a bit confusing but it's a bar practically in downtown! Street parking or across the street always works for me . They also have pool , foosball, and a Big Buck Hunter arcade! Schwing!

My husband and I were invited here for a friends birthday. This being our first time out to a bar post COVID we were excited ! We traveled an hour out and thought it would be worth the trip. As soon as we get into the car, we get a text saying that we should stop and get food , as this bar (that closes at 1) stops serving food at 9. Super cute bar from the street , but the "manager" or person in charge (who identified herself as Tabatha) was rude -- and shouldn't be the initial person greeting if you expect repeat customers. We were able to get a parking spot right up front. As we were trying to figure out where our friends were -- we noticed two 21+ signs so we got our ID out. Walked into the bar , ordered our drinks and I went to use the bathroom. Upon entering the bathroom there was a sign that said "no drinks or food in the bathroom". Side Note: The bathroom gave me real college vibes with the bin of condoms attached to the wall -- but makes sense with the 21+ signs they make sure to have all over the building. I say that to say this... there wasn't any signs on the patio stating "no drinks beyond this point". There wasn't any room where our group of 10 was sitting so my husband went around to where other people were standing on the side walk, still with our group but I was able to sit. Not knowing you can't drink over the fence , I passed him his drink and Tabatha "ran" over to him.. snatched his drink and said "you can't drink that here and you are no longer allowed back in." Oh? No warning , nothing. We weren't hostile or rude, it was an honest mistake. Spent an hour in the car to meet Shrek at the Swamp for 10 min. Thanks for letting me use your bathroom? 1/10 don't recommend -- the party we came with left and enjoyed our friends birthday at a more welcoming environment. Being watched from the moment you get out of the car by "said staff" and then noticing the lack of diversity-- I should have known there were going to be problems

the 'Nuche is quite a place.. great large deck for enjoying cold beers during daily happy hours (4-6). The place is far from fancy and saying they have a menu is a bit of a stretch. It attracts a variety of people from all walks of life.

Best dive bar that I've been to in a long time

Have the bathrooms been cleaned in the last 20 years?

That's been my experience. The bathrooms were always disgusting. The smell would knock you over...

Do you guys have line dancing?

Unfortunatley we do not. However, line dancing is fun! I'm not sure who does it in the area. Thanks for thinking of us!

What days and hours for $1 oysters?

I’m sorry. We don’t do oysters!

This is an absolutely lovely neighborhood dive bar! Clean, loud music and good drinks…read more A big group of us showed up out of the blue after a funeral. Definitely a surprise to the regular clientele. Look for the roadside sign into their large parking lot. The building is set way back. Signs every where instruct patrons. A large over head sign lets you know to "order here." No waitress service. Belly up to the bar and place food and drink orders with the bartender. A sign at the bar instructs "order, pay, move outta the way!" I just love this. Signs on the tables instruct "Do not drag tables". however, you can pick them up and move them. Just don't drag them. For our crowd, we did have to move a couple tables and chairs. There is a jukebox on one wall and I must say the clientele have excellent musical taste. This is absolutely my kind of bar. We had some fun conversations with locals. The bartender was friendly and efficient. All together an enjoyable visit. Besides soft drinks, bottled beers and a full bar, the food menu is pretty extensive. Apps, sandwiches, salad, entrees. With live music, pool table and darts this is a good neighborhood bar.

Angie was so welcoming and absolutely adorable! Drinks were cold. Company was amazing. What can you…read moreexpect from a local dive bar?!. We had the loaded fries. A perfect, no frills solid app.

This review is more for the out of towner. If you're local, then it course your going to eat here…read more Especially since there's not much else in this town. Walking in 7 minutes after opening, this place was already packed. Full of Patriots fans hooping and hollering to the end of the fourth quarter. Every appeared in a merry mood, and everyone knew each other it seems. Service here was great. Our waitress whipped around the room with finesse and speed, working the bar and tables all by herself. She was to the point but pleasant. The beers are ok, but they aren't anything spectacular. An average selection of nearby beers of all varieties. Going to other breweries in New Hampshire, I know that this state can produce good beers. Perhaps they just had a mediocre selection the week I was there. We ordered a medley of items and most of it was hit and miss. In the sampler, the pork cracklings were decent, although dinner pieces were hard to chew since they turned into a dense fried bit. The fries were ok, but standard. The tator tot was actual pretty good, but there's this sweetness and texture that makes me think of pumpkin? That could be upsetting to some. The chicken tenders are ok, but the breading isn't seasoned or exciting in texture. It felt like how I would fry chicken at home with only one coat of breading. The pickle chips were good, even though they were not spicy at all. If they called these paprika coated chips, then I would agree. But texture wise, they were actually crisp and not super watery. The pulled pork tacos are ok, but they rely more on sweet barbeque sauce more than anything else. The tortillas are subpar in flavor, but sturdy enough to hold everything together. The veggies slaw did add some nice acidity though. The wedge salad here is terrible. I should have looked up what others posted before I ordered it. It was a literal wedge of plain iceberg, with all the other ingredients and fixings dumped in the middle. The stuff in the middle was ok, but nothing felt harmonious. Just a bunch of salad ingredients added to a giant paper tray. It felt like a waste of 9 dollars for what was lazy preparation.
