This was a cool funky place with good music, trivia nights, etc. Unfortunately it closed last year but I understand that it will be reopening soon in Penacook as The Forum.

The Royale burger with thousand island was a delicious surprise- did not expect to eat one of the best burgers I’ve had in NH here. The vibe is also great- really fun place.

Weird atmosphere. Smelled like mildew . Had a circle of random hippie type musicians. Not my style . Stopped because Google had great reviews. Bartender needs an attitude

Awful experience, the bar is very racist. My husband went to play in his band, a grungy band, the owner stopped us in the 2nd song and cancel the whole show. Mind you the show has been organized for weeks…weeks…if you are racist and don't like loud rock music then why organize this event? The bar claims to be rock friendly but i dont know.. awful bar awful people, i have video of people making fun of bands in the bar (friends of the owner) and it just breaks your hearts. Music has no barriers. Grow tfu .

It is a great place to unwind with friends. I like the space, very down to earth and inviting. I'll go back, I want to check out the live music next time.

Mixed drinks are expensive and don't have any liquor in them.
If you like quirky, then this is the place for you. Across from a prison. In the back of a place called the Smokestack Center Named for our chromosome pair pcount (?) Food, but no waiters. Great nachos, great bacon bowl, everything else pretty bad. Beer, no wine Free pool table and a skinny white kid rapping away in the corner. Interesting - have to give it that.

Our daughter is getting married close by, and we needed a space for the bridal party and family after the rehearsal. Kirk, the owner, was so kind and accommodating to us! From the bartenders and staff, to the regulars, and especially Kirk, everyone was so sweet and amazing! Our family and friends had a good time and karaoke was the cherry on top!! Bride and groom were definitely happy and enjoying themselves! This mother of the bride is overjoyed at how well the night went! Drinks and food are delicious, lots of beer choices and drink/shot specials. They have a fun, welcoming and hip environment you are going to love! Thank you Kirk and all your amazing staff for making us feel welcomed and showing us a great time! We will be back!

Fantastic live music, phenomenal atmosphere and ok food. And the service was friendly. Definitely worth hanging out here; play pool, dance, play games and just listen to the music and eat,drink and be merry. No matter what, definitely relax. We had lamb gyro, loaded nachos with bacon and the caramel popcorn. Nachos were overdone, but still ok. Lamb gyro was really good, tender meat and bread not soggy. Coleslaw fantastic. We played Bananas and Jenga, and there are a ton of other games as well.Parking: Easy parking and plenty of spots!Wheelchair accessibility: While someone will need to get the door, there is a ramp leading down into the place, not stairs and wide walking paths so those with wheelchairs, walkers, canes, etc can have fun. That said, bathroom is not wheelchair friendly. Narrow hall, tight turns, heavy door, small spaces. Other that that, place is worth coming!
