OP, good choice! I like The Moat for post-outdoor activity BBQ and beers, Ledge Brewing for beers, and Red Parka Pub for live music. All those are a close drive. I like to have a beer at the pub at the Cranmore or Bear Peak bases, it’s easy parking and fun to soak in the ski scene; it’s normally pretty low key though. Delaneys is also good, Horsefeathers is hit or miss but I like to hang out on the second floor on Sundays as most people are heading out. Check out Zeb’s General Store, and shopping/strolling on Main Street. If you have a house, the butcher shop going into town has great products! I suggest the brekkie sausage and smoked bacons, also pick up farm fresh eggs. Another fun activity is checking out day time love music at Tuckerman Brewing in Conway; super fun during the warmer/sunnier days in fall/winter/spring. Sherman Farm can be a nice trip to walk around. Black Cap Trail is a good short hike with easy parking. Drive out to the Glen House hotel in Jackson and have a beer while looking up to the alpine country. My wife and I are starting to try the restaurants at all the local Inns — Oxford is next, but there are so many!

Edit: also love Cigar Shenanigans! Great cigars, cocktails, and whiskeys. Also, it’s dog friendly… there are typically dogs hanging around.

I don’t get the negative comments on this, my fiancé and I don’t drink but I do appreciate the advice on where to go, people watching is always fun!

I have been sober for several years - I still recommend you check out Moat. Delicious food there.

Is black cap trailhead currently accessible? I thought I heard that road closes in winter

I’m just gonna say it, downvotes be damned: you sound like you have a drinking problem and I hope you aren’t driving around the upper valley all wasted like you are obviously describing doing.

Oh yes, because he obviously hits up all of those places every time he’s there

One of these stops is enough to get impaired. He’s describing going to them regularly. Drinking and driving is a law of averages- if you do it regularly, you absolutely WILL end up causing an accident, regardless of how much “practice” you’ve put in. Plus, it’s trashy as hell.

You are insane. People are capable of going somewhere for dinner and having 1 beer, one drink or one glass of wine. What in the actual fuck are you talking about?

you’ve been on Reddit for 2 days — tone it down, it’s a marathon not a sprint. I don’t drink to get drunk, I’m not a college student, and I’ve lived in the valley since 1996. but, because you mentioned it, Fast Taxi (previously Turtle Taxi) is super affordable and convenient — we use them when we go out on weekend and plan to be out late.

Katie for the win. Idk if she still owns it, but when my first son was born, we didn't have a car for the first 2 month he was alive so we depended on fast taxi for his dr appointments and for the grocery store. She would bring me to the Dr, then tell me she had to stop at Hannaford for her lunch if I needed anything I could run in too. I know she didn't need to stop and was doing me a favor. Awesome company. And you're right, affordable.

I’m actually responding to this guy’s “am I the asshole” post about screaming at his pregnant fiancée.
