Good portions fish and chicken had light batter not heavy.. Chili was tasty.

Had a blast, the deck is awesome for watching couples launch and recover boats for entertainment!

I really wanted to like Pub 23, but the food was a letdown. The burgers were undercooked, completely lacking seasoning, and the toppings didn’t feel like they were meant for burgers at all. The onions came in huge chunks more suited for chili, and the lettuce was chopped so fine it made eating a bunless burger a messy challenge. Overall, it felt like there wasn’t much attention to detail in the preparation.

Back from Florida, and it was time to get back on the great NH food trail. Since Pub 23 was right in town we stopped in for dinner. The location is great, the interior inviting and really liked the atmosphere. We ordered Fish and Chips, Haddock was great, Steak Tips, cooked perfectly, and an order of Steamed Clams, delish. The portions were good, and we left quit satisfied. So I'd recommend stopping in, try it out, and tell them you read my review.

Ridiculous portions!! If there was a 10 rating that would be it. Super value-$59 for an almost 3 lb lobster, dozen steamers and 2 sides. This would be over $100 elsewhere. Go-you won’t be disappointed

Went to lunch today with friends. I ordered the lobster roll and it was one of the best love rolls I’ve had. That’s saying a lot living near the coast. The pickle chips were amazing as well.!

We went yesterday for an early dinner. It was NOT crowded. We walked in and a blond woman spoke to us about seating. The 3 of us went to sit outside and she said she'd be right out with menus. We sat for 15 minutes and another dark haired women came to ask how long we'd been waiting, said sorry they were busy and that our waitress would be right out with water too.The blond came back and said oh I didn't know you were my customers, and then walked away. Waited another 7 minutes, no one else showed. We left and won't be back. We had hoped the service would be better since the Dockside had such horrible service. Don't waste your time or money. Thers plenty of other great spots in the area.

The views are incredible. The staff was friendly but had a few hiccups but nothing serious. The food was the unfortunate part. Everything was just very bland. I really want to give a five star. But this was only one experience. The drinks were The shining light they were absolutely delicious. We will be back and give it another shot for sure!

Hey guys! I was just in on Friday. I had the Buffalo garlic parm, and they delicious! I sat on the deck with the awesome view of the lake. There were 2 girls sharing responsibility for the deck and they both were great servers even though they were new employees! Well done! Can’t wait to return!

Everything was fantastic, but it was a little slow getting drink refills from the bar.
The burgers were fantastic. Great service, and cold drinks!

Cute little pub with a relaxed vibe. We stopped in for our first visit and it was pretty quiet. The place is small but cozy, with decent views and big deck energy. The menu is on the smaller side, but the drinks were good, and the po’ boy was definitely the highlight for me—super tasty!
The bartender was friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall good vibe. Parking is limited, so you may need to park across the street near the boat area, but it wasn’t a huge issue.
One thing worth noting: I overheard the bartender talking with the manager and learned that they allow well-behaved dogs out on the porch—and even bring them water! As a dog mom, that’s a big win for me and definitely a reason I’d come back.

We went on a slow day, though the rest of Alton seemed jammed. Fries were good, Pub burger was incredible (bacon on top was 🥰 and I could only finish half of it), fish and chips great, $1 wings were big, not skimpy, we got 30 of them (and ate em all!). Try all the sauces and dry rub. Everyone in our party left with a doggie box. Portions sizable. Get the rings too! We'll be back with more summer guests 😋

Such a nice place. Generous portions and staff are so friendly.

Went in today for a quick bite to eat after getting off our boat. Husband ordered the fish and chips, I ordered the buffalo wings with a side of blue cheese. Took a slice of their carrot cake home for dessert later on. They make all of their desserts in house. What a hidden gem of a place. The entire meal was outstanding. Wait staff overly attentive with vibrant personalities! Job well done! Looking forward to the new outdoor deck and enjoying a meal there!
