If you are traveling to Laconia this is a must visit location. The owners are awesome! Funny, kinda, and always ready to support local business. It is clear the staff is passionate about what they do and making sure customers have the best possible experience. Make sure to add this location to your must visit list.

The food and beverages were good, but the bartender was unpleasant. Complained about tourists (which we were), and complained a lot. The place is off the beaten path, which I prefer when on vacation. It is in a very pretty area, but unusual since it was so residential. When we asked about other places in this area, he made a snide remark how we should stay elsewhere if that is what we were looking for when we were simply curiously asking questions.
Update: I removed the comments on the bartender being the owner since I just found a receipt showing a bartender name that was not the owner that day. Sincere apologies and appreciate the owner's follow up on the service we received that day.

Little gem we found after not getting service elsewhere closer to the lake. Super good pizza, we got the Hawaiian. Cast choices of amazing beers. The owner is the best. Come here!!!
We absolutely loved this place!!! Brought a dozen ladies for a bachelorette dinner - food was fantastic and the staff were amazing. Shout out to Monique and Julie.
Best veggie pizza I’ve ever had - sweet chili wings that were perfect.
Great choice of beers on tap, mixed drinks and a great view!
If you’re in the area definitely check this out.

We had an absolutely amazing time here ! Food, ambiance, and (most importantly) the beers were ALL phenomenal and the southwest chicken wrap was arguably the best sandwich consumed of 2025 so far. Only thing better was the service — Greg was awesome!
We sat outside post a hike and the picnic tables were absolutely PERFECT for two humans and a tired dog with beautiful water views from atop the hill. Would recommend to anyone who would want a chill pop-in or long afternoon (dog-friendly) hang!

We visited on a Monday night where they were hosting a weekly trivia event (7-9 pm). We had so much fun!! The staff, host, and owners were friendly and full of knowledge about various topics. We had the fig and prosciutto pizza which was so yummy, we can see why it is award-winning (great crust base!). We also had the Brat bratwurst which was all very delicious.
Shout out again to the staff for creating an amazing environment that was easy-going for parties who wanted to hang out privately but also for more social groups wanting to interact and learn, I think they put a lot of care into the place and we appreciated our time there.
Will hope to visit again!

Great beer selection, crust on pizzas were good, flatbreads were dry and flavorless. Wine tasted like bottle was open a long time.

Decent place to grab a beer and pizza. Food was good and hits the spot if you are looking for pub style. Service was friendly and atmosphere has a good quirkyness to it.
