While the performer was really good, he had the speakers up pretty loud making it difficult for my husband and I to hear each other and we were sitting side by side. At the time there were only a total of 8 people in the saloon including my husband and I so turning the volume down a tad would've been perfect. We sat at the bar and asked what they had on tap? Unfortunately not a whole lot. We asked if they had a drink menu and they didn't. The food menu was pretty scarce as well. We stayed for a couple beers and decided to venture off somewhere else for some grub. I imagine on a Friday or Saturday night this place would be a blast to hang out at!

I have been in Center Harbor for almost a week. By far, this was the best overall dining experience…read moreI've had. Plenty of parking in the lot. From the second I walked in I loved it. Loved all the decor. Looks like it was changed from an auto garage to a saloon. I don't know if it actually was or it's just how they wanted it to look. Ceiling is painted blue with white coulee to mimic the sky. Great music playing. They do live music Friday nights and karaoke other nights. There's a pool table in the back to kill time while you wait for your food. The service was great. There was one girl wrong was hostess, bartender, and waitress in one. I'll assume they are short staffed, she did an amazing job wearing all three hats. Most importantly, the food was great. They have specials which we didn't order. We started with the loaded saloon fries. Shredded cheese, bacon, and ranch. The cheese was melted in between the fries so all the fries were covered. Not like some places that throw it on top. The wings were crispy and delicious. The best part is you are able to order them by the wing. You don't need to order 6 or 10. You can order one of each if you want. They call it Buck-A-Wing. We ordered a few different flavors. My favorite was the sweet Thai chili. Our main meal was the Philly cheese steak with onion rings which we split. The steak was chopped very small. It allowed the cheese to mix in with it and the small peppers. Lots of flavor and very delicious. It is a little small, so I would not suggest splitting it with anyone like I did. Overall a great experience. I wish there were more places like this where I live.

This…read morelow key cozy restaurant and bar offers a small outside seating area in front, indoor high top tables (glass surface), bar seating & a table in the front dining area and another seating area in the back room with another bar (not in use at the time of this posting). I stopped by The Clubhouse recently for food and to get out of the very hot and humid weather. The place was air conditioned and I sat myself at a high top table in the front section where there were several people having food and drinks. The front room has a flatscreen TV on the wall and a digital jukebox. The bar offers 6 draft beers, can beers & seltzers, wine, mixed drinks and cocktails. The food menu offers appetizers, wings, wraps, sandwiches, subs, pizza, salads, and Italian dinners (lasagna rolls, chicken parm, ravioli) with garlic bread. The prices are moderate. I got an ice water and ordered the Lasagna Rolls ($17 plus tax). My entree was served in about 12 minutes after ordering. The Lasagna was a good portion served in a long oval casserole dish with 2 chewy buttery garlic bread pieces. The lasagna had rolls of firm noodles with cheeses and ground sausage and plenty of thick red tomato sauce topped with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. However, the temperature of the lasagna was all over the place with the center very cold and the edges along the dish hot, but it was mostly lukewarm. I ate about 30 percent of the lasagna and boxed the rest to reheat very hot when I got home. The check was $18.45 (cash)/$19.00 (card) with tax and before tip. Overall, the service here was courteous and efficient. The restaurant and bar was clean. The lasagna was hearty, but the food temperature should be hotter, especially serving food with ground meat and soft cheeses.

The one person who had one drink was approached on the dance floor and asked to step outside. He was asked to leave for appearing "visibly intoxicated".

We were not intoxicated and I feel our group was targeted because we didn't " fit the mold of their usual customer".

Turns out, they're fairly new and a welcomed addition to an area that's primarily filled with biker bars. It's all outdoor seating and the vibes are on point. Gorgeous wood tables, larger wrap-around booths with built in fire pits, bar seating, tea lights, and more. They're also completely dog friendly so feel free to bring your furry friends! The prices are a little more "city" in the middle of the lake region which is the only downfall, but you get what you pay for and everything was incredible! We started with margaritas which were fresh and flavorful. At $15, it's the most I've paid for a margarita really anywhere besides NYC, but it was very good. You could taste (and see) the real lime juice - no mix here. We then decided to order a little bit of everything: from the infamous house fries, to tacos, and fried chicken sliders. Everything was AMAZING. Each item was fresh and you could taste all the flavors in each dish! I can't get over how incredible everything was! Staff was so sweet and friendly. We came on a Monday evening in the summer and got a table easily. It's first come first served but there are plenty of options and an area to just hang out while you wait for a table to open. Also, great playlist playing too! Great vibes all around - just wish we lived nearby to visit again!!

I went in on a Sunday afternoon and the place was not busy at all. I bellied up to the bar and was thrilled to see the local selection of draft beer. The bartender was more than friendly and we talked about all of the different beers they had on the menu. He offered samples of anything I wanted and so I opted for a flight. The beer was great, the atmosphere was amazing and the bartender fantastic. I had the "BReuben" for lunch and it was incredible! A bratwurst wrapped in pizza dough with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. SO GOOD! Fast forward to a week later. I brought the grandson there and we shared te Witches Warts (cheese curds) and they were awesome. The staff, as before, was more than friendly! I cannot recommend this place enough. Going back tonight!

See the photo with the menu - $13 for a pretzel. Just absolute cash grabbing nonsense. The good: the outdoor space is quite nice. Large lawn, lots of options between picnic tables and Adirondack chairs. Some little trails in a wooded area (for disc golf, but still little paths to walk). The beer is good, at least the farmhouse and Scottish ales.

We were seated right away and given chips and salsa--the salsa was kind of bland, and the chips had no salt. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, which we appreciated. My wife ordered the enchilada combo with three different enchiladas. She doesn't like spicy food, and it turned out to be spicy, but no one mentioned that ahead of time. Still, she said it was good overall. I ordered the "pick three" combo with one side. It came on a giant plate (as you can see in the pictures). The tamale was decent but lacking flavor, the enchilada was okay and a little spicy (which I didn't mind), and the chimichanga was easily the best part of the meal--really good. The black beans were not good at all, though--they tasted off, almost sour, so I left them. For dessert, I got the churros to go. The menu doesn't say they're stuffed, but they were--filled with caramel and served with chocolate chip ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. They were excellent. Prices were fair, and I'd probably go back, but it's not really my type of Mexican food. I prefer fresher Tex-Mex flavors, and this place leans more toward heavy cheese and sauces.

Vida Mexican Restaurant is an authentic Mexican restaurant that opened in Laconia, New Hampshire in…read moreApril 2021. It was founded by a family of restaurateurs that includes Arpeet Shah, his wife Gabriele Hernandez, and brother-in-law Alan Romani. The family sought to bring authentic Mexican cuisine to the New Hampshire Lakes Region. The menu features of variety of Mexican dishes such as fajitas, burritos, tacos, chimichangas, quesadillas, enchiladas, as well as their signature crafted margaritas. A second location, dubbed Vida II, opened in Tilton in October 2021, but it was closed by late 2022. A third location, dubbed Vida at the Lake, opened in Meredith May 2022. The family also owns and operates Ensō Japanese Steakhouse in Meredith (opened June 2024) and Raíces Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Manchester (opened February 2025). My extended family and I visited the original Vida this past summer while we were visiting Funspot down the road. After a few hours at the arcade, we were getting hungry for lunch and looked on Yelp to see if there was a good restaurant nearby. Vida came highly recommended and we're glad that we decided to stop in. Most of us started off with a round of delicious margaritas. My wife had the "Fresca Strawberry Margarita" (1800 Silver tequila, triple sec, Gran Gala, fresh lime and fresh house strawberry purée) and I had the "Spicy Margarita" (Ghost Tequila, triple sec, Gran Gala, fresh lime and agave). We then ordered some freshly made guacamole for the table to share. For entrees, I had the "Taco Dinner" (three chorizo tacos, served w/ rice, beans, pico de gallo, fresh limes, grilled onions, jalapeño and salsa on the side), my wife had the "Shrimp Fajitas" (large grilled shrimp with onions, peppers and tomato, served on a sizzling skillet w/ rice, beans and salad), our older son had the "Kids Burrito & Taco", our younger son had the "Kids Corn Dog" (w/ fries). These dishes were super authentic! All of the ingredients tasted so fresh and flavorful. We're very happy to have discovered Vida Mexican Restaurant and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in the New Hampshire Lakes Region!
