“Stopped here after visiting Trader Joes's next door. Its your typical somewhat higher quality grocery store with a certainly higher price. The beer section was OK, with a few common craft samples in the mixed sixer selection, but generally the selection overall was only about half of what trader joe's has next door. Also, the prices were all about 25-50% higher than TJ's as well. If you read this before you visit for beers, I'd say walk over to TJ's next door before you make a purchase here. I'm not sure why this place is always so busy, why do people enjoying paying a premium for the same stuff you can find elsewhere at a lower price?“

“I'm familiar with TJ's when traveling, I could only wish there was one near my home. I like to hit these places when I'm on the road because they are always a good source of mixed local 6 packs for a decent price. This place is no exception. I got 2 mixed sixers for about 26$. As far as the store goes, its a medium size market with a small warehouse feel and there is plenty of parking right off of route 3. Inside I found this place to be cleaner, more open and more organized than many regular grocery stores. The help was also fabulous. Prices are better here, especially when compared to whole foods which is right next door. You can buy much of the same stuff there with a 50% mark up in price.“

“This is is the closest Trader Joe's to my home and when I'm in the mood for Trader Joe's, this is the one I go to. They sell all the same Trader Joe's knock-off brands of beer that you find at any of their stores and maybe a few dozen other New England regionals. Parking is good. Prices are good. I rarely go to Trader Joe's for beer. I usually go for the food shopping and I occasionally pick up some beer.“

River Road Taven (Restaurant)

“River Road is a tavern designed to appeal to yuppies on their way home from work. Food is comfort food, decor or kitschy and the TV are on sports. Beer is usually staples, plus a few whales to keep folks interested.“

“Beer area is toward the back, a cooler at the end of one aisle and then an aisle of both craft and macro. Pretty good representation of local breweries mostly in four pack tallboys. Prices were OK considering it's WF. Tons of parking of course. They did have a beer guy who knew beers, so that's a plus compared to most grocery stores“

“I stopped in today to this newly opened store. Great selection of beer available for purchase to go. Micro only which seems odd at first. Non existent beer buying advise, but its a supermarket after all. Pricing seems in line with Whole foods pricing which is usually more than everyone else. They have a bar area set in the back of the market, odd concept but they seem to make it work. Open square room with an L shaped bar off to the left as you walk in. Probably 40 or so seats with 15 ish at the bar. There is a patio set up with probably as many seats as inside. wooden gatehouse and a waterfall add some scenery to the outside space. So the beer! 24 taps with one cider and 3 wines in that total and half the list is NH local, I love that part. They have a food menu but its is small, points off for no pizza slices like they do in Nashua. Attentive service, 5-7 dollar beers. Its on my way home so I plan to be back.“

“All Whole Foods Markets are essentially the same. This one opened in New Hampshire in 2016. Not a bad selection of craft beer but most of what you find here you can find elsewhere. They did have a "secret stash" of Founders KBS when I stopped by. You had to ask for it. Make your own six-pack allowed with selected beer. Good salad bar, pizza bar and a dining area. Lots of parking.“

“I stopped in here for the first time today with my wife and daughter for a late lunch on a Sunday. The place was fairly empty today. The dining area is one big open room with maybe 30 tables, mostly high top 4 seaters and a couch and a couple of chairs by the fireplace. There’s a long bar against the right side wall as you walk in followed by the food prep area. The beer, about 10 taps all craft except the Guinness and PBR. There’s a bottle list maybe 50 deep with some decent brews on it. It almost seems like they are desperately trying to straddle the gateway craft beer line. I had a little yella pils and a 90 minute while I was there an was tempted to order an old raspy in a bottle. The menu is very small, 6 or 7 choices, Kobe beef burger, short ribs, rigatoni, 1/4 chicken, mussels, etc While the menu might be limited the food was fantastic. My companions enjoyed their burgers and I loved the rigatoni bolognese. The service was good, it should have been for how slow it was, and the bill seemed reasonable for the quality. I will be back.“
