The towns in Southeast Vermont have a lot (and I mean a LOT) of character. The variety of stylish…read morerestaurants with a culinary spin that dot the downtown districts add to the Vermont quintessential feel. And Wunderbar definitely is part of that local charm. On the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend, we made a reservation at Wunderbar in Bellows Falls. Upon arriving, we were seated quickly. Service was overall fantastic and we were super impressed with the cocktails and food, leaving happily satisfied and stuffed at the end. I can't think of anything we ordered that we didn't like, though, of course, there were some favorites: Alpine Negroni and Smoking Gun cocktail were delicious. We LOVED the Ahi Tuna Tostadas, Wunder Wings, and Roasted Carrots - and hands-down our favorite of the night was the Miso Mussels. We weren't sure we ordered enough between the 3 of us, but portions were overall done well and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. I truly can't wait to come back to Wunderbar the next time I'm visiting the area. (side note: the current full menu is difficult to find online - the "online ordering" menu from their website is limited)

Penuche's. The Nooch…read more A friend of mine told me a story about the time he accidentally (his words) smoked crack in Penuche's. IN the bar. Penuche's has three locations in New Hampshire - I've only ever been to the Keene one. They have cheap beer, and The Nooch is well known and loved by all who like to drink. It's dark and dirty in here, clouds of cigarette smoke (before the fascists banned smoking in NH) and free, all you can eat, super salty popcorn. By cheap beer I mean they have a Kick the Keg special nearly every weekend, in which draughts are fifty or seventy five cents. Long Trail for a buck on Thursdays - cheap shots, and so on... Another thing - this is the kind of place where if you walk in before noon on a Tuesday and order a few rounds of bourbon and a bunch of beers, nobody looks at you like you're weird or something. Odds are you won't be the only one doing it. Overall, a legendary and heroic monument to drunkeness, alcoholism, and good old fashioned fun.

This brewery is perched on the side of a mountain with one of the best views of the valley below. For a travel day during the winter travel season it was busy but not overly full. The place is cash only which is posted and they have an atm in the front room for ease. The mountain rustic decor matches the place and area. There was counter service for food and drinks. They had both canned cocktails, wine and locally made beers to sample. The beer selection is great if you like IPA's. We ordered two pizzas and both came out quickly from their in room wood fired oven and were absolutely delicious. Definitely worth a stop if you're traveling near by or during leaf peeping season

Firstly I will say they did have a sign saying cash only, but do have an ATM for those without any. It is also a place you sit yourself and then order at the bar. It is located at an absolutely beautiful scenic view and they do have some outside seating so you can have a brew and pizza with a nice view! Beer wise I enjoyed their All Day Drinker and it was a light and crushable brew with more malt than hops shining through. My wife got their lemon drop sour which was refreshing with a hint of tartness. They also had a cider as well as some IPAs and non-alcoholic options too. Pizza wise they had a good variety of options including some not so traditional choices. The prices ranged from cheese being $20 and going up to $25 for the most. Those not interested in pizza are out of luck unless the one salad sounds good to them though I will say. Since we had 6 people in our group we ended up choosing 4 different pizzas. Our selections were Meatiator (think meat lovers), Potato Pie (mashed potatoes, bacon, sour cream, etc), Honey Apple Pie (honey, apple slices, cheeses, bacon, ricotta, basil), and lastly Okie Dokie Artichoke (garlic oil, lemon marinated artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, sausage, cheese, and red pepper flakes). It gave us a really good variety and like I said above our whole party enjoyed the pizzas. Had a great cook to it, with lots of toppings that packed in lots of flavor. The Okie Dokie may have been the crowd favorite while the Honey Apple Pie was the most surprising flavor. Leaned towards sweet with the honey and apples but wasn't quite dessert pizza. Great spot to come for a pizza and beer/drink while also taking in the nearby view!

I love when old buildings get a second life, and Post and Beam did a really nice job renovating this former Civil War Veterans' hall.

Crisp, fruity, and super refreshing, it's exactly what you want on a warm day. The taproom has a darker, cozier vibe. Our server was friendly, attentive, and clearly knew the lineup well. What really adds to the charm is the building's history. Originally built in 1837 as a private academy, it later served as a Civil War veterans' hall before becoming home to the brewery. You can feel the past in the details, Post & Beam has done a great job preserving that legacy. Unfortunately, no dogs allowed inside or outside on their patio

I was expecting a real good chili taste and it was actually quite flat. The onion rings were good. We did enjoy dessert which was crème brûlée, the pieces of almond gave it a very nice texture. The service was good. The waitress was quick and helpful.

Hubby reported his roast beef sandwich was great although the roast beef looked overcooked to me. What was dubious, however, were the French fries.

The inside is charming and has that old wooden bar smell that I like. This would be a great place to grab a drink on a cold winter day. Very Scottish, lol. We were seated immediately for our 6:30 dinner reservation. We each ordered appetizers, which took nearly 45 minutes to arrive, even the cup of soup. Mozzarella sticks were nothing special, the cheddar tomato soup was really tasty. My mother in law loved the cock-a-leekie soup, and my father in law liked his scotch egg. It took another 20-25 minutes for our entrees to arrive. For a restaurant that closes at 8 pm, it was surprising at how long the food took to come out. They must have a very small kitchen. Everyone in our group liked their meal. My "loaded vegetarian baked potato" was just a full cup of sour cream and cheese on top of a potato with lukewarm broccoli on the side. A bit disappointing, with there were at least chives or seasoning. Basically nothing else vegetarian on the menu so this was what I was stuck with. Desserts were good, especially the sticky toffee pudding. I would call this place a step above average in the area, but service leaves a lot to be desired.
