Iconic Vermont. Farm to table (we're friends with one of the meat producers) and always delicious. Tavern menu is more affordable, live music happens here too! And, they do massages & steams in their gorgeous 'spa' cottage.

Beer (crazy selection plus their own). Classic pub food with a VT twist. Music/trivia. Always something going on. Food is never disappointing. Right on the CT river, sweet spot for sunset sky and drinks on the roof deck.
