    Fun place with a good vibe and very good food. Bar area is a little small, so it gets crowded and you may have to wait for a drink, but the staff is attentive and friendly. The barn itself is so awesome. It's a beautiful post and beam barn kept true to its original design. Def try to sit in the top section to admire the building. Friendly staff, great live music. Downstairs game room is great in case you have to wait for a table.

    The burgers were delicious. The live music and the ambience along with the friendly waiter made for a wonderful evening out. We'll be back to play some darts and eat delicious food

    Wildcat Inn & Tavern - Fish and chips. Terrible. Flavorless fries were hard.

    If you want a place with a warm ambiance and live music, and don't care much about the food quality…read moreor execution, this is a perfect spot for mediocre albeit expensive tavern food. What went wrong? French fries delivered aside one of the two sandwich dishes was luke warm and nearly cold. Fries on the second sandwich dish were regular potatoes but we ordered sweet potato fries. Took 15-20 minutes to fix. Only 1 TV working on NFL playoff football weekend, and this TV was out of view of our table. Another TV located elsewhere was said to be non-operational due to a satellite dish having reception problems related to a couple of inches of "snow." The salmon add-on to the salad was overcooked and dry. So an overcooked salmon salad totaled $32, which are NYC prices for mediocre NH food. Service was very slow. It was a busy Saturday, so we didn't expect speed. What went right? Enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts appetizer. Loved a Czech beer on tap. Wildcat has a very decent tap menu. The overall ambience of the tavern-restaurant was excellent, and we especially appreciated the live music, which featured a guitarist playing 70's - 90's classic rock standards.

    Stayed at the Inn part of this establishment and the staff was so helpful and kind. The place is…read morereally cute and the room we had was clean and cozy. The bathroom is a bit small but maybe it was just our room but the floors were extremely creaky. I felt bad moving around our room because it would echo throughout the building it seems like. The WiFi they had was great and we didnt have the chance to try their food downstairs due to us checking in late.
