I was in town for a baking course at King Arthur. This inn was the perfect location for my home base during the week. The room was fabulous with a gas fireplace that I took advantage of most nights. Being from Texas it was nice to take a bit of the spring chill off my bones. I enjoyed the bar a couples of nights and took advantage of the breakfast a couple of mornings as well. The staff is very accommodating for the folks taking classes, they're willing to store the output from the class in their fridges/freezers. The staff was quite helpful in getting me oriented about the town and pointing out restaurants that were open when the inn's wasn't.

Be sure to have a meal at the restaurant in the Inn. The food is excellent! The Walker House next to the main building offers comfortable accessible rooms. The village of Norwich is small and offers several interesting shops, a bookstore, and restaurant within walking distance. King Arthur Flour corporate HQ is only a five minute drive.

Our room with gas fireplace was clean and so cozy. The staff was very welcoming and we enjoyed a nice dinner at the restaurant. We stayed because we were taking a class at the King Arthur Baking School, less than 1 mile away. We will definitely be back!

A quaint inn that's perfectly colonial. Clean and well kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you're planning on taking a class at the King Arthur Baking school, which is less than a 5 minute drive, it's the perfect place to stay.

Our company had the pleasure of hosting our Christmas party this past weekend at the Norwich Inn. Linda and the team was exceptionally attentive to our needs both in the initial planning stages and during the event. The reserved spaces were gorgeous, providing ample room for our large group to socialize before our meal. The food was exceptional; beautifully prepared and presented, as well as the inn's signature cocktails and mocktails. Following dinner, we held a gift exchange in the living room; the fireplace and the Christmas tree created the perfect cozy setting. We had a truly wonderful time celebrating a great business year, and the Norwich Inn was a fabulous host.

The person at the desk was very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about places to visit in Hanover. Breakfast was delicious, and we didn't feel at all rushed. We and our friends came from two different directions to meet in Norwich. It was the perfect place for that. We spent a lot of time in the living room catching up.

We stayed at the Norwich Inn for 2 nights at the end of September; our room was in the Walker House addition, and it was perfect! The room was extremely clean and furnished with antiques and a gas fireplace, but the bathroom was modern and immaculate with ample counter space. Some nice touches: free strong wifi, a towel warmer, and a night light in the bathroom so I didn't have to leave the light on all night to find my way to the bathroom. :) Breakfast was adequate; a nice variety buffet, cute little breakfast room. Will definitely stay here again when we're in the area. Highly recommend!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The Assistant Manager, Mia, offered some of the best hospitality service I have ever encountered. I will definitely be coming to stay again!

This is a comfortable place to stay. It is an older building with its creeky floors, old doors, bathrooms, and old style beds, but it's clean and comfortable with a ton of charm. The main floor has some picturesk rooms with comfortable areas for sitting, a nice restaurant and bar area as well. It is somewhat close to many popular areas, like Harvard and King Arthur Flour Co. It is not set up to be handicapped accessable due to the age of the building and does not lend itself easily to any type modification of the wanted to. It is worth a visit as long as you take it in as an experience and enjoy is foibles for what they are. If you found this review helpful, please tap the thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

The pasta, cider and the dessert were all just okay. Prices are quite expensive given the quality of the food, service and interior seating.

This review is for a stay at the inn.... I LOVED this place! I was there almost a week and can't recommend it enough. The staff is delightful and personable, and will provide great advice if you're taking classes at King Arthur (which I also highly recommend!). History, beauty, and hospitality!

Decided to try the Norwich Inn again for dinner as we were disappointed last time we tried it. The good news was the service was very nice...food not so much. Appetizer was over cooked and tasteless. My burger was over cooked though tasted ok. Wife's salmom was ok. Dessert was horrible. Coffee was even worse. Really disappointing as it is a charming place. Oh well.

Great option while visiting Dartmouth. Although the inn is technically in Vermont, it is tight across the river from NH. The Inn consists of the original bulging and two newer additions. We shared in one of the additions. Even though it was new, the room still had that "inn" type of decor. We were very comfortable there for several nights. Continental breakfast is available for $5/po. There is restaurant on site that was only open on weekends when when we were there. We did fine there but Jaspers Ale House does merit a separate review. The staff was helpful with directions and recommendations.

What a lovely place! The staff are as friendly and helpful as they could be, the room was spotless and charming, and our overall experience (three nights around the eclipse 2024) was great. We ate in the restaurant Saturday and food was very good. Would recommend for anyone in that area - Dartmouth is the next town over, and it's a very short 2+ hours from Boston.

Our first visit here - super conveniently located close to King Arthur's, where we were taking baking classes. We stayed in what looks like a new addition just across from the main building. Our room was spacious, beds comfy, lots of pillow choices, a helpful ceiling fan, good temperature regulation for hot sleepers, & a large, upgraded shower. We also had a nice little room fridge & a gas fireplace! Check in was a breeze and all front desk staff were so helpful & thoughtful & went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Although dinner isn't served daily, we happened to be there one day when it was, & it was excellent.

The Inn is quaint and relaxing with an historic atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly. The food was very good. Very dog friendly. The one issue that made it less enjoyable was that every day during our 3-day visit, there was some sort of function that made most of the charming common areas unavailable. This was true several times during the day and most evenings. So be aware that while everything is quite lovely, as a guest, you may not be able to enjoy the most beautiful spots in the Inn much of your visit. They need to confine their events to the basement wine room or just one of the ground floor rooms to ensure guests have equal access.

I had a really nice stay at The Norwich Inn. I was attending a super-fun event across the river at Dartmouth College (my happy place) so my spirits were naturally favorable, and this hotel's location was especially convenient. It was far enough for some space, and plenty close for prime accessibility. While fairly basic, my room was comfortable and clean, and every interaction with the hotel staff was super positive. Riffing off the great Daniel Webster, "It is, Sir, as I have said, a small hotel, and yet there are those who love it." Count me among the smitten.

The food was the worst meal I have ever paid for in my life. The server must have know how bad their food is, she never checked in with us or even asked how it was when she cleared our plates. The drink I ordered was equally poor and never once were we asked if we wanted another. The only plus side was the place was clean and the bartender was friendly when we entered.

Counting the Sunday Brunch we attended this past week, this is the second time we've been here and we have not been disappointed. I wish I could rate the lodging here as I understand their rooms are high quality, so my rating is only for the superb brunch they have here every Sunday. On each occasion, the brunch has been superb. We've been here for two special occasions with my nephew and his girlfriend as they live some distance away and this is about the halfway point. They waitstaff has been eager to serve, the food has been outstanding and the mimosas strong and plentiful. I had their breakfast Napoleon, a sumptuous concoction of ham. roasted mushrooms, spinach, cheddar and chives and topped with two sunny side eggs. Yum. Ultra Yum. It is a vigorous plate so if you're worried about protein intake, watch out.... Absolutely outstanding. Their coffee is also superb - double espressos and a cappuccino later I had energy for the next 12 hours... We were indeed pleased with both times here. Now we have to come for dinner.

My dearest friend since childhood and I stayed here as we were taking a baking class at King Arthur. We both have March birthdays so try celebrating in some way together throughout the ... em past 20 years. Yea, that's it I said 20 years, hahaha. It's a quaint New England Inn. However, it also has two outbuildings and we were put in one of those ... must be where the riff raff goes (just kidding). The room we had was great. It had two queen size beds. A secretary style desk. Chairs and ottomans. Good size tv. Most importantly a fireplace to warm my frozen butt. It was sooo cold! Bathroom had a towel heater. I was a bit weirded out by the shower not having a full door. However everything was clean. It's a hop, skip and a jump to the main building. Which has the pub and restaurant. They suggest reservations for the restaurant. We were unaware and not told at checkin so fearful we might starve they took pity on Us and said they would call our room when a table opened up. In half an hour we were able to be seated. The menu is limited but decent. I snapped a copy. I got the spinach salad which was heaped high and delicious. Also got a chicken stew that was more of a soup then a stew. It needed seasoning. Friend had the salmon Wellington which she said was very enjoyable. The waitress was pleasant. The inn staff were very friendly at check in and check out. We were even introduced to others who were taking classes at KIng Arthur. King Arthur is a short drive but a car is recommended. There is not much to do in the immediate area. Plenty within a quick drive.

Has so much potential, service was slow and appeared irritated with being there. Clientele was horribly pretentious. Ridiculously uptight- relax people! Food was sub par, my dish was not good at all. I'd hoped for a better atmosphere and food.

Beautiful building and cozy atmosphere. Went for brunch while visiting a friend who recently moved to the area. He has been back multiple times for the fish and chips ($17). I opted for a single pancake ($5) with sausage ($4.50) and as a tourist was thrilled it was served with lots and lots of local maple syrup on the side!

This is the 2nd time I have stayed here. My dad and I came to stay at the Norwich Inn as we were going to a Dartmouth football game. We stayed in the Main Inn building. Our room was very comfy and cozy (we had a room w/ two twin beds). The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They had a special where if you forgo having housekeeping on your room and you reuse your towels (you are always welcome to come to the desk and get more towels if you need them) you get a $10 dining credit. We were only staying for 2 nights so we did that. We ate at the restaurant and our meals were very good. The living room is a great place to sit and enjoy a drink and read or just hang out. The inn is very convenient to the Dartmouth campus. I would recommend staying here if you are planning to be in the area. It is certainly less costly than the hotels in downtown Hanover.

Spent a reunion weekend in Vermont with too "long time/no see" classmates. In between activities and visiting with friends, I decompressed in Norwich at their charming 220 year old Inn. It was pure BLISS. 4-poster bed, comfy mattress, luxurious sheets, lovely furnishings which included (in their sitting area) a desk, couch, fireplace; just a beautiful room. A tasty breakfast and dinner served in their dining room and a quiet evening in their parlor rounded out my stay to perfection.

Great lunch at the Norwich Inn today. House-smoked trout cakes were terrific, with a cute cucumber salad in a mold. Fennel strawberry salad was also really nice. Beer (brewed on premises) was excellent. We were a bit disappointed in recent visits but they were back on form today. Hooray! Ambiance and service were as pleasant as ever.

We had a lovely dinner at the Norwich Inn with the most lovely waitress, who made sure we felt at home and loved and that our opinions and feelings mattered. I got the beyond burger, which exceeded my expectations. I wish I could come back, but unfortunately I am leaving the area soon. Check this place out if you have a chance!

Very friendly atmosphere. The biere is brewed onsite and is very good. If you're looking for a Vermonty place, this is it ( and i live in southern Vermont). Stay here, tour Dartmouth, come back for a biere on the front porch.

Picture this: A 6 hour bus-ride. Frozen nose, stiff back. As you exit the bus, the snow begins to fall in earnest. Huge, heavy flakes. The Christmas tree in the center of town lights up. The silhouettes of old trees become lacy in the lamplight. Your friends pick you up - cold ears, not enough layers, is it really 10 degrees here??? - and bring you to the Norwich Inn. Coat hangers are heavy with down jackets, hats & scarves. The cozy pub smells like wood and spices. They brew their own beer, and let you sample the selection. Mmmm, toasted oat beer. The wait is minimal, and you get to play Trivial Pursuit while drinking. The snow piles up outside the window, but who cares!! You're drinking beer and know the capital of Egypt. They may not have mac 'n cheese (so sad!), but they do have pub fare and they do it well. The cheddar burgers - grass fed beef, sharp white Vermont cheddar - are delectable, and they even offer high end dinner options, like pumpkin squash risotto (it's amazing). The service is relaxed yet attentive, and there is no rush. Ahhhh, Vermont!!!

We are from Oregon visiting colleges on the East Coast including Dartmouth. We had a great stay at Norwich Inn and the staff was excellent. Very friendly people, nice/clean room, and great breakfast. Norwich is a beautiful New England town.

Bad experience. I had a reservation for several weeks and then about a week ahead of my reservation got an email saying that the restaurant would be closed due to a private party. In fact, it was multiple private parties. The entire rest of the inn was unavailable due to these parties. We were sequestered to our room with crowds of people on the first floor. The unpleasant manager the next morning offered a $50 discount off the $400 room charge. Might as well have stayed at a motel. Not worth the price at all.

If this place was in New York or Los Angeles, and I'd gone once or twice, I might give it 4 stars. BUT, I've been quite a few times and they're always incredibly nice and the food's always great. I hadn't been in quite some time (ie: before I even started reviewing on yelp!), and when I walked in was shocked to see the gorgeous renovations. So the place when from looking a little stuffy and dated, to modern, warm and inviting. Really lovely. Plus the staff is great, the food's consistent, they handle food allergies really well, and they handle my ancient parents well too. So that gets kudos from me.

We came back to Norwich Inn 7 years later! Stayed for 1 night over President's Day weekend for a little getaway from Boston. The Inn itself is very quaint, typical of this area but well appointed with modern necessities. Had a room in the Ivy Lodge which is towards the back of the property. We had a room on the 1st floor which was quite large, especially the bathroom. The gas fireplace was very nice as well. Had a great night's sleep in the large King bed. We ate at the main dining room for brunch the next day. I really liked my beef hash and their home fries are amazing - soft on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside. The only place the star deduction came was with my husband's omelette. It's pretty normal to customize an omelette but they weren't able to accommodate his request except for adding bacon to it. Supposedly they didn't have any mushrooms or peppers on hand? Oh well...

We had our honeymoon here in the fall. I could not have asked for a better experience. It was truly magical. I have been dreaming about going back ever since so I can sit on their porch with a pint of their amazing beer, while the sun goes down. Bliss.

This review is mostly about the restaurant, but the inn seems great too. Food is well-presented, reasonably priced, fresh and locally sourced when possible. You can eat in the beautiful dining room, alehouse, or outside if weather is nice. Service is good too-Erica was outstanding. We were all happy with our food: mussels, veggie burger, regular burger, and soft pretzels. The chips that come with sammies are arguably better than the fries though the fries are tasty too. Yum! Go and you won't regret it.

We spent long weekend there recently. Very nice rooms and location. Staff was very nice. Dining room and Bar were always backed-up and slow service, apparently understaffed, so we tried other restaurants in the area some were great and less expensive.

Nice classy venue, well decorated. Now the bad news. The service was sub par, inattentive staff. The food was nothing better than what I could whip up at home. Bland and expensive. I will not be back in the near future. Lyme inn could teach them a thing or two, or three.

Not up to par. Used to be much better. Service was unbelievable slow. It was one of the longest we meals ever had. Thought we would leave, but stuck it out. The food not worth the wait. They could do a lot better.

For a small inn that is trying to appear classy, they should ensure their staff is friendly and classy as well. I went in to the bar section for drinks. I have the beer passport and was planning on having dinner and drinks and get a stamp on my passport. When we went in and sat down, I asked the bartender if he would do flights. His response, "if I have to." I sampled a beer and then ordered a glass of it as did my partner. The bartender only came back with one beer. He never spoke to us the entire time. He stood at the bar with his back to us, watching TV. He also got an attitude with two other guests that came to the bar. I ended up just finishing my beer and we left to go somewhere else for dinner. I will never be back here.

There for a business trip. Average at best food. Their beer was excellent--Whispering Pig? Steak was very overdone. Service was average. Overall I would not really recommend his place, but you don't have a lot of options in this neck of the woods. They are known for some of their beers which were admittedly very good. The ambiance in the wine cellar where we ate was also very nice.

Rob K.

Yelp
Stoped in for a late lunch. Bar features their own micro brews and Silo liquor and a knowledgeable bartender. We had the mussels Provence and the beer battered fish n chips. Both were absolutely delicious! The beer is also excellent. I had the Dortmunder Larger and the Piper Patterson's Wee Heavy. The former is a good representation of the German style lager and the latter is a malty, dark ale. Both were delicious. Took some home for another day as they are available in big boy sizes at the reception desk. Cheers

Super cute place! Incredibly friendly service. We had a room with two queen beds and a gas fireplace, which was the perfect setup for our girls' trip. The room was incredibly clean and we enjoyed how convenient it was to the corner store and the adorable surrounding neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay here and would book again if ever in the area. There are two restaurants on site (one in the bar, one near the main living area). We preferred the larger restaurant over the bar. They have great breakfasts! The staff even gave me a courtesy call after we checked out to let us know we had left a few things in the room. They offered to ship the items to us, but we declined the request. What great service and what a great stay!

More beer news that drips down the side of the glass. What can I say? A nice, big English pint glass (20ounces) so maybe you don't mind paying $6 plus for a pint of locally brewed beer. Well, first, let me remind everyone: be it 16 or 20 ounces in the pint, in order to get that amount in the defined pint glass, the beer needs to reach the very top of the glass. If it does not, you do not get the 16 or 20. So, now, the bartender at the Inn wants to be professional and insists on putting an inch of head on top of each beer. Even after I explained it all to him, he continued to pour this way. I left after the second poor pour! Here is an accurate way to know what you are getting in an English pint glass. I know that a regular pint glass without a fat bottom will just barely hold 16 ounces. I filled up the 16 ounce glass with water and poured it into a real "Norwich Inn" 20 ounce glass. The top of the water reached a point 3/4 of an inch below the lip of the glass. Like I said, the pro gave me an inch of head so I actually got less than a US pint! Poor, poor pint. It would be okay if I were prorated the pour. Let's say, with taxes, my pint at the Inn was $6.40. That's 32 cents an ounce. You want to give me 16 ounces? Then let me pay $5.12. Isn't that fair. Otherwise, look at it the other way. $6.40 for 16 ounces? That becomes 40 cents per ounce. Poor, poor pour. Poor, poor customer, getting poorer by the ounce! Every pint that is shorted allows the establishment to pour more "pints". More profit.

Do not go if you are gluten free or have any food allergies!!! We asked the server twice if a dish was gluten free as my wife and I are ALLERGIC. He lied and said he checked with the chef and that it was gluten free. He came back after we were eating and said it actually wasn't gluten free but cooked with flour. We felt our symptoms starting within 1/2 hour! The grilled salmon was watery and left a pool of water on the plate. It seemed to be a boil-in-the-bag kind of fish. Overall, a terrible and pretentious restaurant. We will have gluten poising symptoms for 3 days now because of our careless and dishonest server. Don't go here!!!

Wow, a big surprise! Previously, not our favorite place to eat, even though we could walk there from our home. We were totally impressed tonight with the new chef Definitely going back to try other things on the menu BRAVO!

I somehow made it to my senior year of college across the river, and hadn't been to Norwich Inn. I came here tonight with my family, and while I appreciated the ambiance, one of the dishes came out inedible and had to be sent back and the service left a tad to be desired. SETTING: Norwich Inn is in the heart of downtown Norwich, just across the Connecticut River from New Hampshire. The town and Inn could be described with similar adjectives: quaint, charming, the kind of place grandmothers would enjoy. In the dining room of the Inn, there was enough energy and noise to make it seem not too sleepy, but strays not an inch from a traditional New England feel. SERVICE: We had to wait quite a while for our server to greet us and take our drink orders. Long enough, that we were ready to order our apps and mains as well. We noticed some other tables with bread baskets, so we asked for one as well (rather than it just being brought out to us). When one of our plates had to be sent back due to it being thoroughly charred, my mother asked for some suggestions on what would be quick to prepare. It still took a while for that second entree to be brought out (you'd think they would push it to the front of the queue and get it out really quick...). The waiter did end up comping the two beers for the trouble. FOOD: This is where it gets interesting. To start, we ordered the Strawberry & Fennel salad. The menu says "tossed in a strawberry & balsamic vinaigrette," however the dressing wasn't so much tossed as it was drizzled, and it was rather thick for a vinaigrette. For my main I ordered the veggie burger, which was good but unmemorable--and almost certainly came frozen by its perfect circular shape. The sweet potato fries were pretty good though. My dad got the swordfish, which he seemed satisfied with. The real blunder came with the pork ribs my mom ordered. When they came out they were totally blackened; probably half of the meat had been replaced with carcinogens. We showed it to the waiter, who took it back immediately. My mom asked if there was another cut available that wasn't so burnt, but the waiter came back to report that the whole batch was like that--they had been serving charred pork ribs to every guest that ordered them all night! Yikes!

**This review is only for their brunch, not the inn itself I got dragged into this rustic inn as a third wheel for a failing relationship. Anyways, I had to have brunch with this couple and because they were staying in the Norwich Inn, we ended up dining here. I think we just made the cut off for breakfast which was nice. I ordered the French Toast ($7.50) while the two others I was with had traditional eggs benedict and huevos rancheros. The woman serving us was really nice and food came out pretty quickly. It was fine... but nothing special and nothing amazing tbh. It was just typical plain french toast ... which I thought was over priced but then again it's the Upper Valley so what else would I expect? Food was okay, nothing special. All in all, a very average brunch experience. If I lived here I wouldn't mind eating the food but I certainly wouldn't be raving about it as a selling point for the inn. I do like how rustic and quaint the inn is. It's really a nice inn, very homey feel. tldr; meh for food

This place was interesting. I think it was founded in the 1780's sometime, and there are black-and-white pictures of severe-looking men all along the walls. The rocking chairs on the front porch definitely add to the Old Boy's Club feel. All I needed was a cigar and maybe a Hugh Hefner bathrobe. I came with a big group and we got to eat in the library, a major boon because old books draw me like moths to flame. We had one waitress, a hardy woman who was really on top of her game, except for the one time she chucked a piece of bread at me (and with force!). Appetizers, desserts and coffee were pre-selected, and the entrees were featured in a simple menu that included meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. The food moved as fluidly as the conversation; you can tell this operation is practically a science at the Inn. There's a gigantic moose head in the lobby that a concierge confided wore elk antlers, not moose ones. Learning that made me sad. But I quickly regained composure with the Andes mint he offered me out of a bowl. Man, these people really know what they're doing.

I am disappointed to give the Norwich Inn a 2. I teeter on giving it a 3. And although nothing major went wrong during our two night stay, nothing went very right either. From the stained carpet and the creepy art featuring creepy little girls holding kittens on the walls to the fact that we could never get the wireless internet to work, the Norwich Inn was overpriced at about $150 a night for the cheap rooms. Also we were surprised to come back to the room to find that our towels hadn't been changed. We later found a tiny note on the dresser explaining that this was because they were trying to be more eco-friendly and save on water, and if you wanted new ones you had to leave the old ones in a particular place, which we hadn't because we didn't know. Decor in the room was sort of average/ bland. And the bathrooms were pushing the envelope of being antique and being yucky. I think they could do some bathrooms updating and still maintain the character of the place. The grout was all discolored and the sink had cracks and rust stains. I liked the oldness of it (but why cover up what is probably hardwood floors with old stained wall to wall carpet?) and of course the location is perfect, right on Norwich's Main Street, just minutes to Hanover and places to eat. So nothing really all that bad but nothing impressive either.

Brunch Review: Solid menu - not enormous, but all the classics were there. Tasty food - both the eggs benedict and the stuffed french toast were delish. Lovely service - okay, my adorable six-month-old might be an unfair advantage, but the ladies could not have been sweeter or more attentive. Quiet atmosphere - maybe TOO quiet. I'm not looking for a crowd, but it was hard to believe the many empty tables that surrounded us on a Sunday morning. I'm looking forward to trying dinner and beers based on the other yelp reviews.

This is a great option for the area. We stayed in the main building in a beautiful room on the third floor. The accommodations were good: the bed was comfy, the linens were clean and soft, and the bathroom had nice amenities. My only complaints about the room were the water pressure in the shower and the lack of a thermostat. It was boiling in there and we had no other option than to open all of the windows and run the ceiling fan and the window fan (not very ecofriendly when the heat is pumping). We ate at the pub one night. Despite the crowd (this place is apparently very popular) the food was unmemorable and the beer was sub par. I was very excited to try all of their homemade brews; unfortunately they all ended up tasting very homemade. I had the flight of all four. None were very good. They all seemed on the watery side, even the stout. And something was off in the flavors of every single one.

Excellent service in a cozy, comfortable dining room. Food was fair but prices seem high given quality. I ordered the mixed greens/kale caesar, which was fine, and the beef tenderloin, which had nice flavor but was overcooked. The portion was quite small. Although the food was a little disappointing, overall it was a pleasant experience. (Note we sat in the dining room, not the pub.)

If you like quirky bathrooms, distinct bedrooms, cozy fireplaces, history, and nice people...this is a great place to stay. I will admit, having to bend down for the shower was a little awkward (made for someone 5'7 not 6'2), but I just love this place. From the giant moose that greets you to the intimate living room, the Inn is a very inviting place from the start. The rooms are eclectic and comfy...As a Dartmouth Grad., this is my favorite place to stay in the Upper Valley. Great microbrews on-site...a pub...and a biergarten of sorts in from of their brewery...coziness, outdoor space, and beer...what is not to like? Definitely a place to check out if you are in VT.
