White Mountains
The Mt. Washington Valley has something worth doing in every season — from powder days at Attitash to peak-foliage drives on the Kancamagus. Here's where to go and where to eat.

Moat Mountain Smokehouse & Brewing Co.
The gathering spot for the Mt. Washington Valley — a historic building, a beloved brewery, and a BBQ-forward menu that's earned loyalty across decades. Miss V's Blueberry Ale and Scottie's IPA are the crowd favorites. Major après-ski energy on winter weekends.
Expect waits on peak weekends. Get there early or call ahead.
Ledge Brewing + Taco Bar
The closest brewery to Bartlett — a few minutes off Rt. 302/16 in Intervale, between the Villa and North Conway. Great NEIPAs and rotating taps alongside a solid taco menu. Outdoor seating and live music in warmer months.
As You Wish NEIPA and Hive Mind (honeycomb yeast) are the standouts.
Wildcat Inn & Tavern
The classic Jackson après-ski and any-night bar, in a post-and-beam tavern with tables made from old chairlift parts. Live music four to five nights a week year-round. Garden patio open in warmer months. As much about the atmosphere as the food.
If you're skiing Wildcat Mountain, this is the obvious après destination — 10 minutes from the base.
Red Fox Bar & Grille
Family-owned since 1990, right at the Jackson covered bridge. Everything made from scratch, generous portions, warm hospitality. High energy on ski weekends but a dependable dinner spot year-round. Great burgers.
Call-ahead seating is available and worth using on busy weekends.
Shannon Door Pub
Open since 1953, the Shannon Door is one of the oldest bars in the valley — a cozy, low-key Irish-American pub with live music and great bar pizza. No pretense, full bar, and exactly what you want on a cold night.
One of the few places in the valley that feels genuinely lived-in.
Tuckerman Brewing Co.
Named after the famous ski ravine on Mt. Washington, Tuckerman Brewing grew from a garage operation into one of the most-loved craft breweries in New Hampshire. Tuckerman's Pale Ale is the flagship. Indoor taproom year-round; outdoor beer garden open spring through fall.
About 20 minutes from Bartlett — combine with a morning on the Kancamagus.
Vito Marcello's Italian Bistro
The best Italian food in the valley, in a charming bistro that's been earning its reputation since 1988. Classic pasta, good wine list, intimate atmosphere. Reservations recommended on weekends.
A good option when the group wants something quieter and more sit-down than the brewpubs.
Peach's Restaurant
The dependable morning stop — a family-owned breakfast and lunch café open daily 7am to 2:30pm. Gluten-free options, unpretentious, and exactly right before a hike.
Get there before 9am on weekends or expect a wait.
Red Parka Pub
A White Mountains institution since 1974 — the classic New England ski bar, with exposed timber beams, a legendary salad bar, and the kind of atmosphere that only comes with decades of locals and seasonal regulars. Glen is 10 minutes from Bartlett on Rt. 302.
Order the prime rib and the onion soup. Arrive early in ski season.
