Omg what a FUN spot!!! Was in Vermont for the weekend with…read morea bunch of friends and we came to pickle barrel on a Saturday night and literally had so much fun! Live band was great and I love that they would switch between their live sets and a dj set. It was soooo fun dancing all night Only downside was waiting on line outside in the freezing weather

I had a great time here!! IMO - best aprés ski/ nightlife spot in the #SkiTheEast ski scene…read more If you're a live music lover like myself, you'll love this place! There is a bar upstairs that has a smaller band set up that I absolutely looooooove. ALSO, if you're staying within 6 miles of the bar, the bar has a free shuttle. Totally appreciate this - they're dedicated to keep their patrons safe on the snowy roads :) can't wait to go back tomorrow ;D

Charming restaurant. Excellent meal. Personable server. No wonder that Skunk Hollow has been a…read morego-to place for friends in Hartland for a long time. Glad we dined here on our way to a concert. We look forward to returning.

The worst thing about Skunk Hollow is how the bill is padded…read more They CHARGE TEN DOLLARS ($10 )for a small basket of BREAD!!! Next , they will charge you for a glass of water. I like the place and the food is not great but it is usually at least okay. But the meal starts off with a bad taste when they charge for bread which is FREE almost everywhere else. And there's nothing special about the bread! Come on Skunk Hollow, you are treating customers like airlines do! Will you have to pay to use the toilets soon? How about charging for use of the forks and knives? You take advantage of the fact that people are most hungry when they arrive and more likely to give in to your unforgivable greed. I know others who don't want to go there just because of the obscene BREAD CHARGES! It's insulting

I would give them 10 stars if I could. This was my brother and I's favorite mean while in Vermont…read more The only mistake we made was not planning ahead and making a reservation because they fill up quick. Upon arrival, the hostess said they did not have any tables or reservations. She was super accommodating and was able to move some things around. We had to wait about 30 minutes but we were patient since she was willing to work with us and we really wanted to eat here! The server was fantastic and provided water and bread. My brother had a lemonade. We started with an order of calamari. I then had the chicken parm while my brother had the ribs. He swears it was the best he ever had. I got a piece of carrot cake to go and ate it when I got back to our hotel. Everything was fresh and delicious. We even got a surprise as a train passed and shook the whole dining room. It was a great experience overall!

We didn't have a reservation and the wait was going to be 90 minutes long... Luckily we were able to find seats in the bar! Bartender Marty was great and got our orders in right away. We were happy to listened to him that the half portion is a good size for 1 person. Between the 4 of us, we ordered steamed mussels, half speghetti and meatballs, half chicken ala vodka, and grilled salmon. Before dinner, we were served with warm bread with maple butter - that was sooo good. All the dishes were solid, but our fav was the homemade strawberry apple crisp. They hit it out of the park, delicious!! Even with the half orders, we still had leftovers of the speghetti to take home. Reasonably priced, you won't be disappointed.

I saw a live show 3 nights ago at The Showroom which The Colonial purchased(?) "next door" It's a…read moregreat new small venue with approx. 300 or so seats that are more comfy than what are available in the main theatre (from what I gather from the reviews). I'd come here again for a show.

A bunch of other people didn't know as well and we got in only a few minutes before the movie started. Small, new appearing theater. The credit card machine required making a profile, which took extra time. The cashier and employees were friendly. There are snacks, popcorn, wine, and beer available.

Spotted this tavern on our way and stopped in . Looking at the Google review of 4.8 stars we surely…read moreknew this one was good . It's almost hidden and surely a hidden gem. They had seating inside and outside ! Inside felt a bit rustic and old age time . Loved the interiors . Lots of seats outside too. Service could be better . We were sitting for 5-8 mins for someone to attend us and give a beer . Looks like the same waitress was going outside and also serving inside . Wish they had dedicated bartenders . Food was great though .. not so pricey .. rightly priced . We got hummus and it was sumptuous . Lots of veggies and pita bread slices to eat with hummus. Hummus was fresh and tasted good . Good experience overall . Parking was available outside . 4 stars !

HOWEVER... they don't serve food. Only adult beverages and soft drinks. The bartender said, "Yea, we USED TO do a good Philly cheese steak but things change." Thanks, COVID and labor shortage. If you're just looking to wet your whistle, this is a nice enough, blue-collar spot. If you want solid food to go with it, though, you'll need to go somewhere else.

Returned to the Flying Monkey to see the Beacon Brothers. I was unaware that Kevin and his brother…read morehave been doing this for quite a long time. Michael plays many instruments and Kevin still has moves he demonstrated in Footloose. The Monkey was considerably more crowded (full- about 500 guests) than the previous time we were there. This time, we sat and ate in the balcony. The Flying Monkey is owned by the Common Man restaurant chain so I was expecting their comfort food to be offered. Unfortunately, it was more ballpark (minor league) type fried food on paper plates. Word to the wise, go for the movies and concerts, not the food. Plastic silverware and fried food is offered (service is pathetic). Management gave us a voucher because of the incompetence of the staff. The Bacon brothers are worth seeing so it was a nice evening. 4.5 stars for the show- 2 stars for the food. Live and learn!

The show was quite good and the price for tickets outstanding. You can't control your audience; I don't need to hear an never ending conversation throughout the entire show.
