    a bar with bottles of alcohol
    D H.

    I love this bar. It never fails me. Drinks are poured as they should be. Obviously the owner is from a better time when owning a bar was about more than just penny pinching. Bars like this are meant for one thing. Drinking and laughter. If you want something more on the classy side, go elsewhere. If you want to drink your worries away, you won't spend too much doing it here, and the people are always interesting. I mean it's Keene for gods sake. Stories are as plentiful as the booze that backs them.

    Wanted to try something new while staying in Keene between ski days. Given the current cold snap,…read moreit was right around the corner from where I was staying. I was solo so sat at the bar. Bartender didn't impress. Not sure he was experienced. Give away was putting olives on martini containing grapefruit juice, not mention an even number of olives (bad luck). The menus were fancy and I ordered a shaved roast beef sandwich with au jus. Shaved roast beef was on par with Steak-umms. French fries were your typical bagged fries. All in all it was ok at best. Was hoping for a little more given the quality of the other restaurants in the area.

    I was there last night on a Friday and sat at the bar and had dinner with my partner. The food was…read moreexcellent. I had Mr. Miyagi. It was excellent. My partner had the short rib ravioli which was also excellent. We are whiskey/bourbon drinkers and the one thing that whiskey/burboun drinkers like in their old fashioned type drinks are single, large ice rocks and not the little broken ice chips that easily dilutes your drink. These are so easy to make yourself. Just buy an ice tray that makes them. The other thing whiskey/bourbon drinkers like in their drinks are the bourbon cherries and not just the plain maraschino cherries. Just two easy recommendations to elavate the experience. The staff was also very friendly.

    Great people, pool and a lot of fun. They have different pool events and at times they have karaokeread more

    Decent pub food. Open late. Was here twice recently. First visit, Tasha at bar, felt welcoming…read more Second, didn't get bartender name, far less so. Good salad. Very good steak. Mediocre french onion soup. Average fries and tacos, big portions. Mediocre pizza. Good community vibe, though empties out late. BUT for me, a non-drinker? On visit #2, I noticed soda + 3 refills was $10, $2.50 each refill. Seemed excessive, complicated refills (having to formally consent to more, no top off), doesn't favor designated drivers. Bartender #2 shrugged and said some people order only a soda all day, as if that explains it. Except I usually order an entree or tip generously if only getting a soda, so I am not they. Maybe make a "free refills with entree" or "free refills for designated driver" rule, but not an "others abuse this, so we overcharge you" rule. Or expect I'll take it personally. I'd been trying to decide if I should be a regular. Bartender #2 expended zero energy in trying to convince me I was wrong to think I shouldn't come back. She made it super clear she thought that it just fine if I wasn't back. I'd been nothing but kind and polite, other than noting at the end that the policy unfair. No "I'll talk to management" or "yeah, that's unfair" from her. She owned that policy like it was her idea and a good one.
