The location is an atmospheric renovated barn, situated above an open field and trees, with winding trails down to a lake. It's full of character - a storied place for sure. We had music and food to share with our guests. The day is likely to live long in our memories, and we could not be more grateful. Thank you!

I have attended events here in the past including multiple beer festivals and had a great time at…read morethose. Recently though my wife and I came to our first concert at Thompson's Point. We came for the show that had DJO as headliner (that you may know as Steve Harrington on Stranger Things). Yes he is the singer of his own band if you were unaware. I think due to the huge popularity of Stranger Things helped make the show sell out extremely fast. Firstly, as many reviews mention parking, I do want to talk about it briefly too. I recommend not wasting your time attempting to park on site and find a side street or nearby place and walk here. Even if you pay for nearby parking it'll be cheaper and it will make leaving significantly easier as leaving can be a bottleneck. Alternatively if you do park on site after the show ends visit Bissell Brothers to kill some time to allow traffic to leave. Concert wise unfortunately weather was not the best during beginning of the night. The shows are rain or shine and really only cancel if thunder/lighting are causing potential danger. Thankfully they do have the covered pavilion if it is raining. Also for a venue they have many porta potties available in so called "Toilet World". They also have a good variety of food trucks available (shout out to my favorite Iron Clad Eats). Then despite the sell out show they had so many bartenders that there was never much longer than a wait of one or two people in front of you. Drink prices like all concert venues are overpriced but expected. For non-alcoholic drinks check out the food truck options instead for a possible lower price. Music wise and sound quality were good and DJO put on a good concert. Didn't really know the opening band called Pond but they were solid too. Overall worth seeing a concert some time at Thompson's Point especially if the weather is more ideal. Beautifully located by the water with some fantastic views as the sun goes down.

I have to be honest - I felt very let down by my experience visiting Thompson's Point. I had heard…read moregreat things about the concert venue, and was excited to go when my boyfriend surprised me with tickets. We packed a blanket and drove an hour up from Portsmouth, after reading online that many people bring blankets or chairs. We arrived a full hour before the concert and waited outside with some others. What we saw when we arrived was surprising to say the least. While many venues that have designated areas for blankets and chairs are on some sort of hill, Thompson's point was pretty much a flat field. The blanket and chair area was surrounded by metal barricades that blocked the view of the stage - if you could even see at all! Due to the lack of slope and large standing area in front of the blanket area, if you choose to bring a blanket or a low chair, you WILL be looking at people's backs all night. YOU WILL NOT SEE THE STAGE. I was unaware of this and never in my life have been to a concert venue where the stage was not visible for more than half of the audience. You might be wondering, "why didn't you just stand?". My boyfriend and I are fortunate to be able bodied young people and while we could have stood, we didn't really want to and that should be fine for a venue that supports blanket and chair use. Not to mention that I am not very tall and cannot usually see when standing in the crowd of a concert, so it would have been less comfortable for the same experience. However, it's important to remember that there are many people who cannot stand for long periods of time and paid the same price as those standing in the front for their ticket. They want to see the stage too! And they deserve to see the concert they pay for, just like anyone else would. Not to mention, much of the audience did not adhere to the defined sections. There were people standing EVERYWHERE - on the sides of the sections, in between the standing and chair sections, and to be honest, it made me feel unsafe. Certain areas are meant to be walking lanes, for safety purposes like if there was a fire or other emergency. Other outdoor venues, BankNH pavilion for example, do not allow people to stand in the aisles, which is a perfectly reasonable rule. I do not understand why this type of safety is not enforced at Thompson's point. Additionally, the parking situation here is unfortunate. There is not even close to enough parking for the venue, so we had to pay $40 to park in the lot of some sort of doctors office. It feels odd to me to have such a large venue without much of a plan for parking. In short, I would not go back here. Their blanket and chair allowance is misleading, as no one in those sections can see the stage. This is not a well designed concert venue and its management should have some serious discussions about what can be done to allow a pleasant experience for ALL audience members, not just tall ones who want to stand. The one star is only there because the sound quality was good.

I love that it's a bit out of the way of the downtown area so you can park and relax in a beautiful setting. We started with cocktails and drank them outside while admiring the beautiful property, i highly recommend getting there before your reservation so you can enjoy a drink on a nice day outside! I got the Tideline cocktail and substituted the tequila for mezcal after the bartender suggested it and wow! A great drink and i was impressed how fast the service was. Once we sat down inside we ordered a lovely Gamay for the table, you really can't go wrong with any of the wines on the menu they have a great selection. We ordered quite a few dishes to share between the three of us and the server brought them out in a 3 course style per her suggestion. We started with the citrus and fennel salad and grilled raddichio and these were both so fresh and delicious, we had to leftover vegetables this were exceptional. Then came the asparagus pizza, pork and beef meatballs, and the focaccia as our second course. We almost skipped the focaccia- that would have been a huge mistake. That is a must order, the texture was biscuit like and the seasonal flavored butter was divine. The pizza was really blowing us away with the white sauce and the chili crisp combination. The dough is so light and crispy as well it was wonderful. The meatballs were huge! and came with delicious grilled sourdough. The pasta and lamb shank came out next and at this point we couldn't see how it could get any better but then it did! The lamb shank is huge and cooked so beautifully. The pastas were definitely the standout bites of the course. The carbonara noodles are thick and cooked perfectly and the sauce is so rich a creamy. The Tortelli pasta was my favorite, the pockets stuffed with a gooey filling and the fava beans added a great texture to the dish. We were in carb heaven. We somehow were able to fit dessert in and i'm so glad we did not skip it. We ordered espresso martinis to accompany and this is without a doubt the best espresso martini i have ever had. We substituted tequila and they were completely delicious. I don't remember exactly what the names of the desserts were that we got but one was a a chocolate mousse with a peanut butter sauce and crunchy peanuts which was so yummy. But the favorite of the table was the pistachio one. It was like an ice cream bar with crunchy pistachios on it. Get this one if you go! This was an unforgettable meal from service to food. The staff is incredible and really treat you wonderfully and the food is so good i really didn't expect it to blow me away as much as it did. This is a place i'm going to have to come back to again and again.
