After ten minutes we still had not been greeted and a second bartender walked by us on three separate occasions and ignored us. The final straw was when they started talking to the regulars at the bar, greeted some other new people and we were still ignored. We love to support local and were excited to try the pub as we are new to the area. We were also really excited to find a new trivia spot, bummer that your customer service is so horrendous. We walked out after ten minutes and zero acknowledgment from anyone. Please do better.

We popped in last night to check out the new changes and really enjoyed our evening. Ambience is great, some changes to decor brightens up the inside and the new furniture is great. Now food. Best burger I've had in a while. I ordered the Maple Bourbon burger (can't recall the exact name) and it was delicious to the last bite. Our party also enjoyed the Buffalo tenders, French Toast chicken sandwich and some chicken wings. The selection of beer could be a little bigger, but we found something we all enjoyed. Have patience as the staff and crew get settled in but rest assured, the food is worth it! We will be back!

Whenever we go out to eat I always suggest coming here because I look forward to trying new things but also love sticking to some of my favorites like the g Vegas nachos and southwest bowl. They also have the best fried pickles around. Even when the restaurant is busy, the servers are attentive and friendly. I love the ambience and that they have local artists Work posted all the time. I am huge in supporting small sellers and small businesses and I love that they do that too. It's also great that they let you pick from their own flights or you can choose your own!

We came here to try out their Monday Blues, and happened on their Monday Buck-a-Shuck oysters! We found a long room with over 70 seats set up at tables for four that looked combine-able, about 20 seats at the bar and at 2-seat hightops, both rooms with a wall of windows. The band set up in the bar window, but sit where you like, we found that we could hear the band everywhere! There's also a small enclosed outdoor patio with about 30 more seats at umbrellaed tables. The Jim Atkinson band is a foursome of Boston-area musicians that has been cranking out great blues, rock, & roots since 2017. We loved them, especially enjoying the creative keyboard and a real live sax! Their music selection was amazing, more their favorite solid blues than old-standbys, so we didn't recognize every song. But that's real music :-) The $1 New England oysters were big and juicy! They started at 4pm before we got there, and they still had plenty for us after 7pm! They say the variety changes with availability. These were not overly salty. This was dinner for us, and we started with their hot-skillet "Mexican Corn Dip" with zingy pico de gallo salsa and fresh crisp corn tortilla chips. We got a "warm energy" bowl of quinoa, fresh tart cranberries, baby spinach, roasted sweet potato, and goat cheese, flavored with some scallions and garlic-butter. Huge, delicious, and very satisfying! The Fish 'n Chips was a full-foot-long full of their own Moon-Hill-beer beer-battered haddock, piping-hot fries, fresh crunchy coleslaw, with tartar sauce. Yep, Huge, delicious, and satisfying! We tried their parmesan-garlic wings, but that wasn't our favorite. They were ok, but not crispy which we expected. Came with crunchy celery and creamy bleu cheese. Of course we leaned on their in-house Moon Hill brewery for several dry IPAs, their luscious Candy Mountain blueberry sour, (which could have been colder), and a very tasty non-alcohol Blueberry (Not)-tini, a bubbly beverage crafted with "Reàl Blueberry Purée", fresh lemon juice and lemonade. This is a nice community bar, brewery, restaurant, and patio. We are already looking forward to their big Octoberfest!

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.

Very refreshing. We added a bright and brightly-flavored roasted beet salad with, crumbled goat cheese, glazed pecans & slices of pickled red onions. And they kindly allowed us to order a simple hot grilled cheese & fries off of the kids' menu, which we shared around as a little bar snack to tide us over. We enjoyed the view to the west of stately Monadnock Mountain. They have a golf course and mini-golf, too, but this time we were just for the beer. In addition to the hand-written tap list above the bar, they keep an online list up-to-date, too. This was a pleasant recovery from our strenuous day. We visited on a Saturday, and we'll make sure to get back here during their weekday 4-6pm happy hour!

We did a tasting of the six brews they had on tap. I first want to mention, their stout, Tom Swamp Road was delicious. I love stouts, especially this time of year, and they hit the mark with this beer. Gate 37 gets an honorable mention too. Its a very light and lemony grisette. It was a nice and easy to drink. Their saison, My Conversation, was also very good. In fact I enjoyed all the beer, even Everything is Everything, which is an IPA, and i'm not normally a fan of IPAs. The beer was great of course. I have to say though, I really really enjoyed the vibe of this place. You could tell it is located in a small town, everyone could join in on conversations occurring around the bar and the two guys behind the bar didn't even have the slightest beer snob attitude. They were both friendly and knowledgeable. If i lived closer to here, I would certainly stop by here on a regular basis and grab a drink or three. Definitely make this one of your stops.
