We stopped here for lunch and this will be a repeat spot for us going forward! Friendly staff, great food, and a great spot to watch a game (or many games!). Highly recommend :)

Great place to watch a Patriots game. The CHICKEN BBQ NACHOS were awesome. Loaded with lots of chicken, cheese and a great BBQ sauce. The beer was cold and went great with the nachos. Will definitely be back.
Shout out to our awesome waitress Missy!

Had a blast at the tavern hill! Abbey was the BEST bar tender. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a bar with a friendly atmosphere.

Went here Friday 9/19 for late dinner (staying down the road) and I couldn’t be more impressed. Abbie was a joy to deal with, the food was awesome as well. Fish and chips were amazing! Very crispy outside, flaky and fresh inside. I WILL visit you each time I come to Weirs Beach! Thank you!

The Dent at The Fancy

The Fancy may be new by name, but the bar itself carries decades of stories in its wood. Some nights, if you sit halfway down the top, you’ll spot it: a small, round dent that looks ordinary—until you hear the tale.

The mark goes back to the mid-1980s, long before the place was called The Fancy. It was a stormy summer night, with bikers in town for the rally and fishermen fresh off Lake Winnipesaukee filling the stools. Just before the power cut out, a local character named Red O’Malley raised his whiskey and declared, “If the storm takes the lights, I’ll put one back in!” Then he slammed his glass down hard enough to leave a permanent dent.

The lights went dark a heartbeat later, but instead of panic, the whole bar came alive. Bartenders lit candles, a guitar was passed hand-to-hand, and the crowd sang and laughed until dawn. The dent stayed as proof of the night when the storm couldn’t stop the party.

When the bar was renamed The Fancy a year and a half ago, the owners could’ve refinished the top, polished away the old scars, made it “new.” But they didn’t. Because that dent is more than a mark—it’s a reminder that names may change, but legends stay.

And so it waits, right where you set your drink. Some say if you rest your glass in that spot before a toast, the night will carry on just a little longer.

At The Fancy, even the wood remembers

We stopped in and we had the veggie nachos and they were so good. The atmosphere was really good and we had the best waitress, Missie. Great place with good food

The Traveler

Bad experience there. The server made things very uncomfortable. I also got charged two different prices for the same drink. $9 by the bartender (who's really nice and good).

And $11 by the waitress who didn't seem to know how to talk to people. She said we are too big of a group to go to the bar, but there were 4-6 seats open on the left side + a couple small tables against the window we could have hung out at. I love local bars and would be willing to give this place another shot, but that employee needs to be talked to.
