“July 2026. We had lunch on the sidewalk seating which was very nice. Staff were responsive and friendly. Beet salad with goat cheese was disappointing. Less leafy greens and more strems and shoots. Goat cheese was sparse, and some of the beet slices were actually dry.“

“My family of 7 went there last week , there was a little wait for a 7pm reservation but we’ll worth it. We had a large variety of dishes to try as two people in the group ordered two dinners each. From the ribs to meatballs and Delmonico steak. Everything was so good and plenty of food on the plate. The waitress kept my brother and his wife with drinks galore and plenty of jokes . It was a fun night.“

“What a rarity it is not only receieve an order accurate and made to perfection, but then imagine having it occur twice from the same place and only week later.

Both pick up orders were outstanding along with the staff and their kindness. Ya'll made me a believer again in Applebees for what its worth. Thanks to the team today for making my night amazing after a long work day. Cheers Will, keep it up.

“Excellent wedding venue! I had the honor to DJ for Donny & Jessica's wedding, and it's about time I write a formal review of my experience from a vendor standpoint! First, the layout is excellent. They have a special deck for ceremonies, and the cocktail hour and reception area is beautiful! Cozy and classy, this venue cares for the attention to detail. Not only with presentation, but also when serving the guests and ensuring the Bride & Groom are well taken care of! The staff was probably one of the best parts of this venue! You guys rock! I have been a wedding DJ for 20 years, and see about 60 venues a year, and I very much look forward to working with you and performing at your event again in the near future! Excellent job you guys! Cheers! ~ DJ Chillin McMillin“

“Despite some apparent difficulties in the kitchen, our server, Lucas kept us apprised on the progress of our meals. He accepted my veteran status, even saying that my VA card was not necessary. Later, when our bill was brought, he comped our desserts upon learning of our 50th wedding anniversary.
Our food arrived hot and fresh, along with another order of bread.“

“Overall vibe is a local dive kinda bar with regulars, and a mixed age group.

Yeah, its an Irish bar. Sure, the bartender behind the bar was a bit salty and he kind of gave me a little grief about mispronouncing the beer Smithwick's...but that doesn't mean they deserve one star. It's a bar, have some thick skin.

Their wings were pretty good, and the service was fine. They get busy and distracted; the bartender had to shut down some rowdy pool players, but he handled it well and got back to us when he could. I think he was working the bar by himself and it was
BUSY!

It is CASH ONLY so be aware of that. I believe they do have an ATM inside. And their drink specials vary day to day.

The live music was pretty chill, and it was nice to be able to sit and just relax after a long day. So yeah, give it a chance and drink some cool Irish beers.“

“Amazing place to eat and grab a drink! They have an excellent draft beer selection, delicious menu, friendly staff, and surprisingly low prices! 2 draft beers, bacon burger with sweet potato fries totaled $17! I travel a lot for work and this was the best meal and the best price I have seen in a long time! If you're in Keene, please do what you can to stop by for a burger and a beer, your taste buds will thank you!“
