Salt Hill Pub Shanty - Newbury, New Hampshire

Went on New Year’s Eve expecting a wait and slow service and was pleasantly surprised with neither. Fish and chips was a giant, tasty portion, and my pear salad with salmon was very good. Espresso martinis were very strong. And the prices were more than reasonable for a restaurant near a ski resort.

5 minute walk from The Lake Inn at Mount Sunapee.
Nice bar atmosphere.
Pub tables and a bar area to sit.
We ordered the brussel sprouts, which were really good and my bestie ordered the mac and cheese.
I personally wanted to give it one star - but she said it was okay and I am taking her thought into consideration when writing this review.
People who read my reviews know that I love my mac and cheese and I personally can make a excellent Mac and cheese, so I am a bit judgy when it comes to buying mac and cheese at restaurants.
They made it sound good on the menu however it was watery and the cheese was not sticking to the noodles.
There was not one bit of stretch cheese when pulling up on the noodles and if you eat macaroni and cheese you understand what I'm saying.
Very bland and just not good. Maybe it was just a bad night for mac and cheese, but I kind of think not.

Andrea was our server and she was fine, however I think she could smile a little more.
She keeps this straight sort of mean mugging face and having been a bartender / waitress for years- I somewhat get it, however it was really hard to see an attractive young lady waitressing / bartending not smiling more.

The drinks were good and the pints were good, prices were Fair.

They close at 9:00 p.m., so prepare to be ready to leave around 9:00 p.m.

The food, the vibe, the service are all good here. We were around for 2 days and had dinner here both nights. The cocktails are really good. If it’s cold outside, sit by the fire out on the deck for a cozy dinner experience. They have ample parking and an outdoor deck too!

8/20/24—It was our last night in New Hampshire, after spending a grand time at an Airbnb on the shores of Sunapee Lake. Now, we’d heard tell of a fine Irish pub not far from where we were staying. And seeing as my husband’s half Irish himself, we figured it’d be a shame not to give it a go.

Now, truth be told, Irish food isn’t usually my cup of tea, but for the sake of harmony—I’d dragged him off to visit President Franklin Pierce’s Homestead earlier, after all—I thought, why not? So off we went, just a wee drive from the lake house.

We arrived at the pub around 2:40 in the afternoon, and it was still quiet, the kind of calm before the evening storm, I’d say. They handed us the menu, and some tunes filled the air. My husband’s eyes lit up; he knew the songs, but as for me, I hadn’t a clue who was singing.

I settled on a hamburger and nachos—something simple, you know. But wouldn’t you know it, both dishes arrived at the same time. Not to waste good food, I packed the nachos up to take home. And let me tell you, finding decaf coffee on the menu was a blessing! It’s the small comforts that matter, isn’t it?

The pub itself was spacious, and I could just imagine the craic that must go on there once the sun goes down. But we’re not the sort to be out late, so that part of the story remains a mystery to us. Still, I’d say this place is worth a visit, for sure. And, we’ll be back someday, God willing.

The pork nachos were incredible! Drove back to MA from Stowe VT and had to make a detour to come here. Staff was super nice and welcoming, the bartender Andrea remembered my dad and I from last year when we last went

Food was good. I came in after a hike, do anything would have have tasted awesome. And their burger was tasty.

I've upgraded my rating of this restaurant. They've come a long way and come into their own identity. Good food, friendly staff, pretty snow bunnies at the bar. Place fills right up around 4:30/5:00 when the mountain shuts down.

It was a great local pub, there were A lot of folks that knew each other (locals) I sat at the bar and got the Hawaiian burger it was decent. After talking to others they said that fish and chips is really good.
