My wife and I visit the Barn and Grille regularly. We find the atmaosphere to be very enjoyable. The magnificently renovated barn is a gem in this area! We have enjoyed many tasty meals here. I particularly enjoy the steak tips - delicious! We also enjoy ordering from the sandwich menu; clubs and burgers are fantastic.

How fortunate are we, as well, to have an area restaurant offer outstanding live entertainment. We really enjoy the Thursday and Sunday evening acoustic music.

This past Sunday, December 11, we made a point to get to the Barn to hear Bobby Keys, a phenomenal guitarist from Boston. Bobby has peformned with and recorded for major artists from coast to coast. His performance this past Sunday was nothing less than awe inspiring. His eclectic style blends the sounds of past jazz and blues greats such as D'jango Rheinhardt, Freddie Greene and Duane Eddy. His instrumental music, while not acoustic, is easy on the ears. He played several original compositions with his trio along with some standard covers tunes including the Duke Ellington classic "Caravan." Bobby's band is always professional, his drummer's "day job" is with the Boston Pops orchestra - not a bad gig if you can get it! Sunday's bassist was a young man I had not heard of or seen before but his musicianship was impeccable. Every note was played with meaning and purpose. I look forward to the return of this outstanding trio!!

We applaud the owner and management of the Barn for courageously booking such quality entertainment in our little NH town. We would typically drive to Portland, Concord or Portsmouth to hear music like this and often we would pay 30 or more dollars per ticket! The folks at the barn offer it free of charge!

Keep it up! We are thrilled to have the Barn and Grille in town.

PS, we are looking forward to spending New Year's Eve with you guys as well!
