“This place is amazing. I hate to leave a review because lately I’ve had a hard time getting a reservation because so many people love this place! I frequent this restaurant and I can honestly say, it has been great meals, drinks and service every time. My recent visit I had a special on the menu, Barramundi with risotto. Absolutely wonderful! I had a drink (another special) a pear vodka cocktail and again, perfection! Bartenders are the best! You cannot go wrong with a visit here. I also want to mention the waitstaff, they all go above and beyond to make your visit, comfortable and enjoyable and they are extremely busy.
Kudos to all who work here!“

“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.“

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.

“This is becoming my wife and I's go to spot. It's inexpensive but punches way above it's weight in almost every category. Beer is great, food is awesome and consistent, service is excellent, the building is really cool, outdoor seating, on and on. The menu, in my mind, is exactly the right size. Good variety but doesn't overreach. Full of good standards but also some interesting stuff. I LOVE the stroganoff meatballs, and they made one for me over fries that was an incredible combo. Every server there has been so nice and friendly and has like, a noticably good attitude. Specials are good and rotate regularly. I dunno, sometimes stuff is just... good. It's good. Go here.“

“Soooooo good!!! My husband and I did some appetizers and they we all beyond amazing!! The crustini was amazing the mushrooms were cooked so well and had the best flavor! The pretzels were crispy and soft and the cheese was the best beer cheese my husband ever had (its his go to app) , the bacon wrapped chicken was heavenly and the sauce it came with was beyond tasty (side not dip those puppies in the beer cheese 😇) last but certainly not least we had the artichoke dip and it was awesome, not to cheesy and had a yummy garlic flavor. I can not wait to come back and try more of their scrumptious food. My services was stellar as well (my husband and I have waited tables) we could tell she was slammed but still made her way around like a little lightning bolt with a smile!! We will be back soon thanks so much 21!!“

“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!“
