Went here for my birthday dinner tonight and it was amazing. The manager Sarah is amazing and it was so nice talking to her while visiting. Food was absolutely the best we have had since being in NH just an overall phenomenal experience. I am not a local but definitely will be coming back here when I am in town. Definitely recommend this place!

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Grand Summit to celebrate our one-year anniversary, and after a long day, we wandered into the Tap House right as they opened at 4 PM in search of food. While the kitchen wasn’t open until 5, we grabbed seats at the bar—and we’re so glad we did.
We were greeted by Sarah, our bartender for the evening, who made incredible drinks—her espresso martini and lemon drop were next-level. When we mentioned some frustration with our hotel booking, her husband Brian (also on staff) overheard and went above and beyond to help make things right. The two of them were a fantastic team, and their kindness really turned our weekend around.
Once the kitchen opened, the food didn’t disappoint. The onion rings with cheese sauce were chef’s kiss—we literally said they were “10 stars.” The margarita pizza was delicious and generous enough for leftovers the next day.
If you’re in the area, definitely make a stop at the Tap House. And do yourself a favor—order one of Sarah’s signature drinks. You won’t regret it

The Tap House at Grand Summit Hotel 104 Grand Summit Dr Box 248, Bartlett, NH 03812
Tucked inside the Grand Summit Hotel in Bartlett, NH, The Tape House delivers a cozy, après-ski dining experience with a rustic wood-accented atmosphere and live music that enhances the mountain lodge charm. Whether you're winding down after a day on the slopes or simply looking for a hearty meal and good drinks, this spot offers a satisfying evening.
Cocktails The cocktail menu impressed, especially the Allagash Blueberry Smash made with maple syrup vodka and fresh blueberries—a creative, flavorful New England twist. Everyone at the table agreed: the cocktails here are a highlight. Rating: 9/10
Entrees - Spicy Texas Brisket Pizza – Brisket, onion, jalapeño, cheddar, mozzarella ($28.75) This was a solid choice with a crispy crust and a good kick of heat from the jalapeños. However, the pizza leaned heavily on cheese and could’ve used a bit more brisket to balance it out. A great option for sharing—easily split among four people. Rating: 7/10
- The Bear Burger – 8oz Robie Farms beef, white cheddar, bacon, pulled pork, onion ring ($23.75) A beast of a burger in all the right ways. Rich, juicy, and layered with smoky, savory goodness—this one will leave you full and happy. Rating: 9/10
- Potato Crusted Salmon – Served over spinach, topped with honey mustard ($28.75) Sadly, this dish was a miss. The flour taste overpowered the crust, and the texture didn’t come together as hoped. Lacked the finesse you'd expect at that price point. 0
- Yankee Pot Roast – Potatoes, carrots, celery ($37.50) The absolute standout of the evening. Hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor—you can tell this dish simmered all day. Tender meat, perfectly cooked veggies. Worth visiting just for this. Rating: 10/10
Desserts We tried the: - NY Style Cheesecake - Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake - Red Velvet Cloud Cake - Warm Apple Crisp Blossom à la mode
Each dessert came with ice cream and offered something for every sweet tooth. For me, the Warm Apple Crisp stole the show—comforting and nostalgic with the perfect balance of cinnamon and crunch.
Overall Ratings - Food: 8/10 - Cocktails: 9/10 - Affordability: 6/10 (A bit on the pricier side, but portions are generous) - Ambiance: 9/10 (Live music and ski lodge aesthetic made it cozy and fun)
Final Thought: If you're staying at the Grand Summit or just passing through Bartlett, The Tap House is definitely worth a visit—especially for the live music, cocktails, the Bear Burger, and that unforgettable Yankee Pot Roast.

We have been coming here for years and a few years ago the tap house opened. We have been trying it out multiple times now and every time we go there it's ALWAYS extremely slow service, food is decent. We keep hoping it gets better so we keep trying to go back but it never does. Last time we came we waited over 45 minutes for a server to come and take drink orders, we ended up leaving and going else where. Tonight we just tried again and got turned away because they were busy but half the tables were empty and they were understaffed. It's such a disappointment for us as we would love to enjoy and support this benefit of the hotel but they have been failing so many times and staffing and the wait for service or food has not gotten better and it's been over 3 years and it has not improved. Tonight was the last straw for us. We would NOT Recommend Coming Here!!!

Myself and my girlfriend went for dinner after checking in, we waited at the hostess’s station for at least 5 minutes before the lady came out from the back, the dining room was about 55% full, and the bar had about 7 people at it… The server came over after about 10 minutes and got our order, and she did get it a little wrong…. My girl got the burger and fries and I got a steak tip dinner for $28 bucks…. First thing I said was: “I want a side of fries, then I’ll have the steak tip dinner…. Medium please and thank you….. after a while of waiting… she had returned with the order and instead of mashed potatoes she must have told them fries with it. I didn’t say anything because I ain’t having the cook do anything funny to my food. It’s just common sense, I first ordered the fries, then the steak dinner without any substitutions. In my opinion the steak wasn’t that good and over cooked also wasn’t worth $28 dollars. Next time we will cook in our room.

This 5 star review is for our server Amanda!Food was good for the price, fresh and tasteful. But our server is the one who deserves the praise. She was the only server handling all the tables (place was pretty full) she was busy to say the least, but she managed to handle what should’ve have been the job of 3-4 people all by herself. She did so with such grace and kindness, I really hope she gets the appreciation that she deserves.(Full disclaimer: we didn’t ask for her name but the check said Amanda, so I hope that’s her name)We visited 11/10 5.15pm-7pm

The hotel had a Dinner option available a few nights during the week. While we were there they were serving buffets and there was no menu otherwise. One night it was Italian and the other American Continental. A little pricey at $24 per person. They had about 10 items for dinner and dessert. Food was average. We would probably go to a restaurant instead next time, just finding open non chain restaurants on certain days of the week in the area can be hard.
