The Irish guiness stew and cornbread is just plain delicious. Tried the fish and chips this time and really enjoyed it. Service is always friendly and prompt. We really like Salt Hill Pub!! read more

A wonderful surprise! My son and I stopped in on a whim for dinner. We drove up from Boston to attend a concert at the Opera House, and since Salt Hill Pub is right across the street, it just made sense. We were promptly seated by a pleasant hostess, and greeted by our waiter Hunter (who couldn't have been nicer). The atmosphere is exactly what you might expect: family-friendly, BUSY, and loud in the best way with the sounds of folks having a good time and great food. Speaking of the food, OMG! I heard the onion rings were off the chart, and they are: giant crispy rings with soft onions, and a breading that holds the ring together but is crunchy, light and amazing. Easily the best rings I've ever had. We ordered delicious burgers which were cooked perfectly, and totally balanced with veg and condiments. It really was a perfect burger. The tots were dusted with cheese and rosemary powder. Incredible. It's not really the kind of spot we are able to get to on the regular, but if we are up in that neck of the woods again, it's a must-do. If I were a local, you can bet I would be a frequent flyer. Don't miss out on fantastic food and a great time. read more

Salt Hill Pub - The best onion rings you've ever had. - Music Venues Near Me - Lebanon, New Hampshire

Food was good. Atmosphere was good. Service was slow. I am assuming our server was new. But the other servers or hostess should have helped. When we were done eating and had sat for 5 minutes without anyone noticing I grabbed my own takeout containers and then asked another server for the bill. If a server is overwhelmed other servers or hostess should be able to see it. Other than the slow service I would recommend chalking the service to someone being overwhelmed and or new read more

Great location, food and not far from a great college as well! Definitely visit and make sure to get a drink too!

Stopped in for dinner and waitress was helpful and nice. Local, cozy atmosphere felt good on the town square. We had wings and soup which was very good. read more

I walked in hopeful The service was not good. It was very obvious that my server forgot about me and then once my food finally came it was made incorrectly. She was very sweet and tried to rectify the situation but I was already quite sad and hoping this meal would be a pick me up but instead it didn't help. read more

Salt Hill Pub is like the unofficial town hall of Lebanon. The food is very good and so is the beer. This pub is where the town - and those from miles around - gather for a Guinness, a meal with their people or a dinner with their kids. Food that is unforgettable here: the Guinness Stew, sweet Thai chili wings, a whale o' fish and chips, gigantic onion rings, the hand cut fries and the nachos loaded with cheese (and/or black beans or pulled pork), the marble rye bread (as its own entity with butter but usually served with the Reuben), the jalapeño cornbread, the hummus platter and the peanut butter pie. These items I've mentioned are foods i love to come back to. They are remarkable, flavorful and never disappoint. Not to single one of these menu items out but the nachos are soooo good and it's because of the delicious chili. So, yeah, the chili is on this reliably fabulous list, too, then. Oh and about the onion rings: see my video for how oversized these onion rings are! They are equally as delicious as impressive and the horseradish sauce is so flavorful. The burger with bacon jam, cabot white cheddar and house maple mayo is the one I like the most. Their Tater Tots are awesome. The Jameson Honey Salmon and Stuffed Sweet Potato entrees are delicious. I can't say the same for the plain pub mac as the flavor is unremarkable vs. deeply cheesy and rich. Order their pub mac and cheese with chicken and Gorgonzola or BBQ pulled pork. The portion of the mac and cheese is gigantic. If you are really seeking the comfort of warm cheese, go for the Vermont Maple Turkey griller with bacon and maple mayo on sourdough. It has all the goodness of an oversized grilled cheese sandwich. If i closed my eyes and ate it - not knowing what it was - I would think it was a grilled cheese with ham and/or bacon. It's that delicious. The sweetness of the maple mayo doesn't come through, as it should, however. I'd like to really taste the syrup but I'm guessing many others love it just the way it is/aren't sugary sweet people. I've listed the things you can't go wrong with and menu items I didn't mention are still reliably good, but less remarkable or I've just personally never tried them. There are still a few menu items I am curious about, ie the Reuben and a few of the salads that are likely very good, as well. Their draft brews are awesome and I love pulling up for a Guinness. In many states, outside of the Upper Valley and New England, it's not easy - though not impossible - to find a bar with Guinness on draft. There is a rotating selection of weekly local beers and cocktails, here, plus they serve a room-temperature hand-pulled cask beer. No longer on the menu but possible to still order: the adult Guinness milk shake with Bailey's Irish Cream. It's serious as in the ice cream never drowns out the alcohol flavor. And once it all melts together, you know you're indulging. What I like most about Salt Hill are its people: the staff and customers. The locals are mostly bar flies that keep to themselves. There is a charm to that but I found it's largely impossible to chat many of them up. They are obviously good people, just largely there to exist and maybe drink and usually not to shoot the breeze or spin a yarn. The staff are always efficient and most are friendly. My biggest complaint about Salt Hill is that they don't serve brunch. You can get a Celtic Egg which is a boiled egg wrapped in ground sausage breaded and deep-fried. Never tried it. But I want bangers and mash with eggs up and some hard liquor for brunch, please. Dining outside is gorgeous with good weather. There is plenty of room and the staff are friendly. Don't miss the live music here and trivia on Sunday nights. Also St. Patrick's Day is a mad house here, of course, and fun for the type of rowdy, good-humored people I can't find anywhere else in this town ... on any other day. What do I expect?! I probably need to go to Beantown -- vs. Lebanon -- for these types. ;) read more

After a half day at the Lebanon Brew Fest, we needed a relaxing "Linner" - too late for lunch but early for dinner. So we came up here and were absolutely delighted. For starters, this Salt Hill has an urban feel, almost European, being next to Colburn Park with a side street blocked to traffic and people ambling by. Then, part of the main street is blocked to traffic and in its place, about 20 feet wide of outside tables and people enjoying themselves. Such a wonderful ambiance. We were tired from the sun so we actually went inside and we were sat by a main window. Service was superb, with my Felafel wrap being tasty and great presentation. And although we didn't have any beer - we were actually "beered out" from the event at the park, we delighted ourselves to see the great menu they had and decided to return soon. Great experience. read more

A friend and I had lunch at Salt Hill today. The service was great, and I loved the loaded nachos. I would definitely go back, and I'd definitely get the nachos again. My friend liked her sandwich as well. read more

I hereby retract my previous review. Service is awesome, food is spectacular, atmosphere is very relaxed, regulars are friendly, and the beer selection is pretty darn good for the Upper Valley. Definitely have a look at the Specials menu, because it changes daily (my favorites are Mrs. McGee's Pot Roast and the Meatball "Wedge" - half a sub with three HUGE meatballs). read more

My wife and I stopped here after an appointment at Dartmouth. Word of mouth said this was the place for great food. We ordered the It's me not you, it's me burger with fresh cut fries and the Bob's VT maple griller with Judy's hand battered onion rings. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS !! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Josh, he was a very pleasant man but would not share his onion rings recipe with me as it was his mom's recipe . The atmosphere and service was also very good. If you haven't been, you need to!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Fish 'n chips were fantastic. Perfect amount of battered crust, flaky fish, delightful tartar sauce. Heads up, the fish is HUGE. It was spilling off North ends of the not-small plate. So glad we opted to share! Wait staff was friendly and attentive. We were in and out before the live music started so I cannot speak to noise levels during those times but while we were there, we could have a conversation with no problem. Would absolutely eat there again if back in the area. read more

Awesome pub in the middle of a charming downtown area. Had some great grub, cold beers, and chatted with some awesome locals. Literally laughed til I had tears in my eyes. Never felt so welcome anywhere, really loved my time here. read more

We arrived at Salt Hill Pub about 40 minutes before closing time after a long, hard day of driving. They greeted us warmly and made sure we got our food order in before the kitchen closed. Not only that, when we suggested that we could take our order to go, they said "absolutely not...take your time." Great service! We ordered several apps, including the giant pretzel, bean nachos, tater tots, and hummus plate. The serving sizes were ample, enough so that we boxed some of the nachos for the next day. The pretzel was exactly what one expects from a pretzel...warm, slightly salty, and served with cheese and pub sauces. The tots had a delicious rosemary and parmesan cheese topping and came with the mustardy pub sauce. They were great with or without the sauce. The nachos were loaded with beans, cheese, pico, and sour cream. The chips held up nicely. Our healthy hummus plate had pita, olives, feta, falafel, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce. We chose to eat indoors, where the ambiance is that of a comfortable pub. We love that there are multiple plant-based options across the menu and expect to make Salt Hill a regular stop! read more

We enjoyed the food, the waitress and bartenders were great, atmosphere before and after a concert next door was fun

It's funny because this place is called Salt Hill, but this was some of the blandest mac and cheese I've ever tasted. Another thing that's funny is this place is a pub with a full bar, but they don't have drink menu. I've been here several times since moving out here about four years ago, and the food has always been ok. Today though, it really felt like whoever was cooking just did not care. One of the most fundamental things a cook should know is that pasta needs to be cooked in salted water, as salty as the ocean. That is the only time you'll ever be able to give it any flavor, and if the pasta has no flavor then the entire dish will be bland. The sauce has potential but without any seasoning, it's a complete waste. Something so simple really does make such a huge difference. Aside from the pub mac and cheese, I also ordered the poutine tots. They tasted fine, tots were crispy, but there was too much cheese and everything looked like it had just been thrown onto the plate with no regard for presentation. I know this is a pub, but bar food doesn't have to look sloppy. The best part about the visit was the server, I think her name was Sofie? She was very sweet and attentive. Without exciting food or any interesting cocktails though, I have a hard time wanting to return in the future. Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk. read more

What an awesome place to pop in for a drink and a few apps. The wings were crispy and delicious. The blue cheese was the star of the show! So good and chunky!! The ranch is meh. The fried pickles were pretty good and the restaurant itself was nice in a downtown location. Parking was easy for my winter visit. read more

Stopped in on a weekday and the pub was bumping! So many families were there and people of all ages. Service was fantastic and the food was hearty and filling. We ordered wings, fish and chips and Guinness Stew. The fish was crispy and not greasy, well seasoned and reminiscent of the fish and chips I have had in Ireland. And the Guinness stew had great flavor. My only wish is that there was more beef. All in all, great spot for a family dinner. Only about 15 mins away from Dartmouth College if you're looking for dinner in the area. read more

Unfortunately we had a big miss here. My husband often orders Reuben sandwiches when we eat out. They are his favorite. My lunch was just okay, nothing to talk about out there. He said it was the worst Reubin he's ever had-what little corned beef there was in it had been cooked on a flat top first so it was curly and fatty. There was barely any cheese, sauerkraut or sauce in it. I was mad he didn't say anything (he barely ate half) because it could have been fixed or replaced. Also, the fries that accompanied it were all tiny little pieces, most of them less than in inch long. Looks like he got the crumps from the fresh cut French fry machine. read more

Consistency is so important for a neighborhood eatery. These folks have established a solid reputation over the years that brings the community together and generates a loyal following. Great food, great (friendly) service and a nice vibe. Well done! read more

The Tuohy brothers do not play when it comes to high quality, nourishing pub grub and pints. Couple that with great local entertainment (Music! Magic! Funny barkeeps!) and you've a got a winning combo. Ample tables and plenty of parking make this a sure bet for locals and hungry travelers alike. Service is top notch and everything we tried was innovative, delicious, and served in hearty portions. Don't forget the pub sauce! read more

We went for my daughter's 21st to start our pub crawl. We were a large group but I had made a reservation. We got there, the place was empty and they couldn't find our reservation. Whatever, they set us up a table and it was fine. Our server was not particularly attentive which was weird since we were pretty much the only group in the restaurant. The food was meh. I'd eaten here before and it was much better. Not sure what changed. Maybe it was just an off night. read more

Really 3 1/2 stars. I don't know why I've waited so long to try this location. I used to go to the one in Hanover and now the Lebanon one is the closest. We went for dinner and trivia (make sure you know all the rules before, we did not or we would have won. I swear. Still fun.). OMG. I can't wait to go back for more food. And the gluten-free options were plentiful. Service was not great. No one ever checked on us, and we were at the bar. I had to keep flagging them down. But I'd still go back because the food was cravable. read more

Great comfort food spot. Loved the pretzel. They were happy to substitute onion rings for fries. Just a nice takeout experience

Popped in for a quick bite to eat while out shopping in Lebanon. Was told by the hostess that the kitchen closes in 15 minutes but I was still able to order. Knew I wanted Fish and chips didn't need to waste time browsing the menu. The portion was a nice hearty piece of fish on a bed of fries and a side of slaw. Exactly what I was craving. I'll definitely come back and check out the rest of the menu! read more

For more than a year, my handful of experiences at the Lebanon, NH, Salt hill Pub have been very good regarding beers, but only mediocre to just good enough for food. Last night's fries seemed warmed over and the brussels sprouts, something I've usually loved there, greasy and soggy. The hamburger was not particularly interesting but fine. I would chalk it up to an off night but I'm not so sure given the last few times. Otherwise, very good service, very good beer, pleasant early-dinner pub ambience. read more

The food was pretty good as well as great service. I would recommend anyone stop by to give it a shot.

We stopped on an early Saturday afternoon, our waitress was amazing! I had the roast beef sliders with onion rings. Sliders were nice and tender and omg the onion rings I seriously could have worn as bracelets! They were awesome! Hubby had fish and chips, very tasty and he didn't even need tartar sauce. We will definitely be back! read more

Salt Hill has a typical Irish pub ambiance and food, a decent selection of craft beer, and friendly service. The pulled pork nachos were good and crunchy, and we enjoyed the fried Brussels sprouts. The Guinness stew was thick and meaty, burgers were unremarkable, but the black bean stuffed sweet potato was unique and delicious, although a tad spicy. There are a few other meatless options on the menu and you can get the stuffed sweet potatoes with chili if you prefer to eat meat. read more

I have always loved this place... however recently its been rough. You call to place an order and are put on 'hold' for 15-20 min. Then the lady comes back on with a massive attitude, "YUP YUP YUP ANYTHING ELSE UGH" Is what you get and then you pay for 2 meals which is around $50 easily.. get your food home and its gross?! Nope. You lost us. No way. Newport is soooo much better and I honestly never thought I would say that. Lebanon has gone SO FAR DOWN HILL. Frys are cold, hard, inedible. Fish was undercooked, soggy, cold, the breading was literally wet and sticky. Wings were over fried and hard, couldn't get a single bite of meat off of 90% of them. Sprouts were burnt and bland. Burgers are ehhh like 5 guys beats them all day and we aren't picky eaters. Idk thats just been our experiences the last several times we have ordered and paid the price of a good meal and received crap food and even worse customer service. The work ethic of this new generation has got me mind boggled. Its everywhere. Nobody actually cares about the quality of service or anything anymore. The old salt hill was amazing! It's sad to see these places go so far down hill. I'm someone whos been in the Upper Valley Community for almost 2 decades at this point and frankly I'm just so beside myself how bad it has become. Why hire people who don't care about their job? Their customers? The business? I just dont get it? Maybe it's bad management who doesnt know how to hire competent people in the service industry. Either way... we wont be coming back. Not worth spending money on. Plus I don't call to complain because the one time we did call to ask if we could get a newly made order that wasn't trash worthy or a refund, the woman had an attitude, put us on hold, then hung up and scanned our calls afterwards not answering them. So we are sad because it's been a solid pub to go to for years but it's not the same anymore and it's not the vibe or the experience we deserve as paying customers. Best of luck! read more

Stopped in for a lunch on my way to Vermont - very glad I did!!! Looked like it was minimally staffed, but everyone hopped right to it when it came to taking care of the customers! Beef stew is a good starter on a winter's day - hat and creamy with a hint of Guinness. One of the best burgers I've had - done perfectly with applewood smoked bacon on a fresh bun. A fine experience- I'll be back! read more

crazy expensive beer ($12 a piece) and No prices on the menu. Then they added a cover charge when we paid without any indication at the door. my only regret is that I paid at all because I feel like I was extorted read more

Good fresh sandwiches. Hand cut fries. Friendly and fast service. Cool atmosphere. Will definitely come back when in the area.

My wife and I are always on the lookout for a good Irish pub in our travels. On a scenic drive, we stopped in as we both got excited about an Irish pub. After going into the host location, we stood there for several minutes even after one of the hostesses came to the station and didn't even acknowledge our presence. We were then greeted by the host, and we seated outside without being asked if we preferred inside or outside. The menu has a decent selection of food. However, it was all simerly priced. Which is not a bad thing, but ten dollars for one Scotch egg is a bit excessive. I ordered the Bangers and Mash, which was on point. My wife ordered Bob's VT Maple Griller. It was good enough to have it again, but not something to be sought out. Our server Ashley was a shining star, friendly, personalable, and did a fantastic job for having to work tables both inside and outside. 4 stars for Asley. Overall the Salt Hill did not make a great first impression, but we are willing to give it another go as it may have been an off night. read more

Great food and great place, sport bar and more. Enjoyed eating here for lunch. Excellent food and people.

I been a fan of this place for the day it opened when I was working next door. now the wings are 2 dollars each? Looking like this? broken and or one bites. Only reasons I didnt walk out when I got given a plate of theses is because the Service is always great and friendly. I paid and tipped but never will go back to a salt hill again.

I've been going to salt hill with my four kids weekly since they were born, and before that, since they opened. To say the food and service has gone down hill is an understatement. The regular menu is so sparse- a $19 sweet potato entree! The quality of the meat is fatty and greasy- don't order the Rueben. The menu is constantly getting smaller and what's left is more costly. St. Patty's Day was the last straw. Horrible customer service. Disorganized and inconsistent service. Hostess is too inexperienced to handle this crowd. A lot of waitstaff is also too inexperienced. Between the food and the service, this place is going downhill fast. read more
