Bars near Gilmanton

“The Gilmanton Pub is a 33-seat restaurant that is three years old with a loyal following of patrons from Gilmanton and surrounding towns. Located in the center of the Gilmanton Historic District, "The Tavern" is an elegantly restored 14-room, 18th Century Colonial that served as an important way station for 18th Century travelers. Over the last month, the Pub has made awewsome changes in staff, menu, live music entertainment, and prices. For example, prices have undergone a significant reduction - nearly every food or beverage has been reduced from 12%-to-36%. Every appetizer, salad, dessert, and entrée has seen their prices lowered. The Lobster Ravioli is now $24, reduced from $35, a 34% reduction. Even pizzas have seen their prices cut. An 18-inch pizza is $11, down 15% from $13. Beverages have undergone similar cuts. A $14 glass of Dewars is now $9, a 36% drop. A "heavy pour" of J. Lohr Chardonnay is down from $13 to $9, a drop of 31%.The food is excellent and the atmosphere is quintessential old school New England. Check out the live music and the fire pit!“

“Went here on Saturday with the wife for karaoke. The atmosphere and crowd ranged in ages from 20s-70s. Everyone was super friendly and appeared to be having a good time (kinda rare in NH). We didn’t know anyone there even though we’re locals but felt very welcomed and comfortable. The karaoke lady was fun and friendly. The bartenders were exceptionally good - I never had to ask for another drink and they were seemingly standing in front of me with a genuine smile and asking us proactively if we wanted another. The bartenders were having as much fun as us it seemed. No drama, complaining or waiting - all signs of a good bar staff. The owner was there somewhat covertly and I had a few good conversations with him and eventually figured out he owned the place. He wasn’t overtly playing up his status at the bar or micro managing his staff - another rarity for a bar like this. At the end of night he personally invited us to come back to his bar, something I’ve never heard in my decades of working and visiting bars. A+ grade from us. Nikki and I will be back.“
