Sweet Hot Wings
Bruce S.

A little late in posting this. Had to check this place our prior to a concert at the Pavilion. Always a fan of local dive bars and this place did not disappoint! Scored a couple of seats at the bar, grabbed a couple of brews and ordered their BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger with fries and an order of their Sweet Heat wings. Monster burger patty cooked to order (medium rare), tangy BBQ sauce, crisp bacon and melty chedda...really hit the spot. Fries were hot, crispy out, soft in. Nice. Wings were cooked perfectly with just a bit of a sweet kick. Not overly sauced ( a couple of wings are missing...fast hands!!). Great stop if you're in the area for a show or coming off the lake. Plenty of parking as well as outdoor seating where they regularly have entertainment. Bikers welcome!!

Beer with vanilla and cinnamon on the rim

I love a good bar. This is definitely the town's watering hole. We got a fabulous welcome from the bartender and locals. Only 4 tables and the rest of chairs at the bar. Decor is humorous and to the point. Bathroom is male/female and very clean. Tater tots had cheese and bacon and are on point. We ordered jalapeño slices and came with your choice of dressing which I picked ranch. Some of those jalapeños had some kick. If you're in the area and want a short stop with fabulous locals and a quick drink I highly recommend coming here.

Wings

OVERALL ASSESSMENT Hell yes.   OUR PURCHASE -603 Seltzer drafts, 4, $5 each -Wings (8) with half Buffalo & half Sweet Heat, $11.50 -Side salads, 2, $4 each -Shots, 4 (which will remain nameless for reasons you'll understand when you visit there), $6 each = $63.50 pretax Salads were solid, especially for $4. Shots were a blast. Wings were okay.   THE SUMMARY Fun vibe. Excellent service. Fun drinks. Okay food.   THE DETAILS We tried this place based on Yelp reviews and proximity to our hotel. Did not disappoint.   We were greeted instantly, and we ultimately stayed far longer than anticipated because it was just outright fun.   As per Yelp reviews, service wasn't initially speedy but was exceptional. Amy was exceedingly friendly, and her personality made it perfectly okay that she couldn't take our orders immediately. She was the solo bartender & server inside (& she did some outside as well).   We sat inside at the last available table. Décor was simple and comfortable and funny. Raunchy but perfect for the vibe. Not a big place. Outdoor seating seemed much more expansive and had live music.   Did I mention that Amy is adorable? She's a gem. I've never met her before, but she makes me want to be a regular. It's impossible to compliment her enough. We felt very comfortable and part of the collective. Didn't feel judged as another review mentioned. (Loved that review, btw. Very helpful..) Had to leave but wished we could have e stayed all night.   WOULD RECOMMEND? Yes. And we can't wait to go back.

We recently spent the day in the Lake Winnipesaukee area, and needed to find a lunch spot. We decided to trust our fellow Yelpers and headed to the Looney Bin. The place is small and it was packed with locals and those that have summer homes in the area. We sat at the bar and struck up a conversation with another couple. They live in MA but own a restaurant nearby, so we felt confident the Looney Bin was a smart choice. Anna (?) was working as the bartender and server. We were impressed with her ability to manage everyone at the bar and the seating areas both inside and outside. She was awesome! Michelle, the owner, was also present helping out and talking with the customers. Its awesome to have the owner on sight and hear her story of becoming involved with the restaurant business. The selection of local craft beers is impressive. The various postings on the wall and shot selection gave us something to read and kept us occupied as we waited for our food. We shared a half portion of chicken nachos and a cup of chili. The food was freshly made, hot and delicious. This is an excellent and well run local business that we will certainly visit again when in the Lake Winnipesaukee area.

great selection of provocative signs on the walls of this fun place - some of them you don't want to explain to your 9 year old.

Despite the sign out front, the food was very good and the beer was cold. The Looney Bin is a good place to stop for a wide selection of beer, surprisingly good casual food and attentive service. Not exactly a family place but they did not seem to mind serving our family.

Bike Parking in front
