This is obviously a sports bar that probably caters more to late night cheap apps and drinks than family dining but for our family it was perfect, mainly because of the bartender Kate's personality and her partner (so sorry we forgot her name) who was DJ'ing later in the evening. We all had good typical happy hour burgers and the wife and I enjoyed a Margarita and a couple IPA drafts. The kids (ages 9 & 13) actually stayed off of their devices because of the mini-football throwing game and a ring toss game. While the food was typical American pub fare and decent bang for the buck we would basically come back just to see if Kate's behind the bar and if she is we'll stop in for a quick app & drink.

Would not hesitate to return.

The nachos were alright, not the best I've eaten, but they were fine. Not pictured is the fried chicken salad and that was also fine! Again, everything tasted good, but just wasn't overly special! It's bar food and if you want good bar food, then here you go! They do have a happy hour, but I don't know what's on the menu. Though it's 3-5 pm every day and 3-6 on Thursdays. I think that's pretty good and I'd be interested in coming back to try some more appetizers with a drink! The server was attentive and the food came out quickly. The decor is fun and definitely reminds me of a tailgate! Again, if you want bar food, this is a pretty good option in the Exeter/Stratham area (though I personally don't eat a lot of bar food!).

Statey has just recently opened up, which replaced State Street & while I live in Vegas now this definitely was on my list of stops while home visiting. I finally got to go in last night to check it out. It is very big & kinda open but not too open around the dinning room area. They have plenty of seating on the floor & around the bar. It was great to see Mo a long time bartender still working for them. They were having karaoke night & they have a nice little stage out back for the "maybe soon to be famous singers to perform on". It started @ 7/8pm (can't remember) & went to midnight. No cover charge to get in. It wasn't very packed here on the Thursday night I went, but I have heard that it does get very packed to the point that you may not be able to get in. So keep that in mind when heading over to check them out! I didn't get anything to eat as I was not hungry. My cousin got the fish sandwich with tatter tots. He said his sandwich was good & I had a few tatter tots which were yummy! They still have their famous lobster roll for a crazy, reasonable, too good to be true price! My Mom had asked me to check on this for her as she loves their (State Street) lobster rolls. I do want to go back before I head home to have one as I have in the past & it was very tasty & they fill the bun up with plenty of lobster meat. They have one of my favorite flavored vodkas, blueberry so I was drinking those up. It was nice & cozy in there, temperature was just right. The bathrooms were clean & they have more then one stale inside their rest room so I never had to wait. State Street had less bathrooms & that would make for a long wait when needing to relieve the bladder. I saw some familiar faces while I was in there. Their door guy for that night, Aaron was a really nice guy. Friendly & smiling all the time. You definitely need to check this place out. Stop by for a drink (or two) and/or a bite to eat! I will be back before heading home & on my future trips back to NH!! So happy that they brought State Street back!!!! Thank You!!!

We found the carriage town bar and grill quit by accident 4 years ago. We immediately fell in love with the food and service. Even though we live in Salem, we try to MB make it here 2-3 times a month. Today was the very first time I tried the steak tips. I wasn't expecting top tier tips, but, as usual I was proven wrong. They were large, tender, juicy, incredibly well flavored, and cooked perfectly as ordered. So if you want great steak tips, forget the tavern and come to the carriage town bar and grill in Kingston. Once again, they did not dissapoint. And the prices are very fair.
