We enjoy going to the Sunday River Brewery because we've always gone there. It is a no frills apre ski pub with typical fare of yummy brews and great fried foods. You can sit by a roaring fire, play pool and recount the ski adventures you had that day.

The decor is simple, with clean lines, open spaces and lots of blonde wood. The staff was very friendly, and the beer was great (and at a good price for a ski resort.) The food was ok. The fish of the 'fish and chips' crisply battered, but the chips saturated with fat and almost burnt. The salad was ok, but... More

Many entrees for $10 and most everything under $15. Great burgers, pastrami sandwiches, pulled pork, Philly cheese steak and other "pub style" food. Nice bar and atmosphere. Fast services. Worth a visit.

Bar may be better but we ate in dining room. We had 5 in our party - 2 x 60 yrs old and 3 x 30 years old. Neither the beer nor the burgers, both of which they advertise highly were worth the trip.

The local flare while visiting the Bethel area is exceptional. The brewery/restaurant is a wonderful stop after a long drive to get to the rural Grafton Notch area. A must stop and eat every time you visit the area.

Stu was the bartender and had great recommendations for a long-term visitor to main. The brew and grub was great! Definitely a hang-out place.

Went here with another couple. We enjoyed the complimentary wings and LOVED the beer. The outdoor fire was a fun (although short) beer drinking excursion. Be sure to try the beer sampler. For $6 you can't beat the value and the quality of the beer is out of this world.
