Stopped by this little brewery on my travles up to North Conway. Moat Mountain does not look like brewery or resturant at first glance. But it is a nice setting in an old farm house with fire places and many dining rooms. Host staff was not anything special at all, almost would have said they were rude. But the wait staff was good, they knew the in house beers well. I noticed the menu had a lot of BBQ items, and it was actually really good, I was surprised. usally BBQ up north here in New England isn't that great. The beer was great, I decided on a sampler with all the beers on tap that day from Moat Mountain. Cannot complain at all on the beers. If you are traveling up to the White Mountains I would make a point to stop here, it was not too pricey and food and beer was great. I will be going back myself soon to try some of the other beers they don't have on tap.

If you are in North Conway, NH go to the Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery. This is where the locals and in the know visitors go. The food and beer are reasonably priced.They brew so many different styles enjoy an 8 glass taster. We have going there for many years.

One of my favorite places to go in North Conway. Great beer and great food. These guys are also dog lovers- as the sign says, don't leave your dog in the car, they will call the police. I have seen it happen!

Interesting little restaurant/brewery with a solid beer selection and good food. Flight was nice as it included 8 different beers. Wait staff was good and food was above average.

Amazing location. Mountains in the backdrop which means plenty of winter activity close by. Spacious bar, warm atmosphere. Friendly people. Over the bar hangs "frequent flyer" mugs. Adds to the inviting atmosphere. Can fill growlers and buy cans. Definitely a destination.

Went to eat and drink here during a trip up in the area. The place was very packed even with what seemed to be ample parking. Surprisingly though, the 45 minute wait we were told we would have was cut to 15 minutes. The restaurant was quite large with a New England inn atmosphere. Seating was in several locations across the first floor of the building with a large bar area near the front.
The food menu came on one sheet of paper, but it seemed loaded with smokehouse and barbecue options. Our waitress was very nice, quick, and attentive. I decided on the 8 beer sample which was massive. For dinner, I had the brisket served on cinnamon raisin toast. It was quite good and the portions were generous. I was not sure if other beers are served at this establishment, but there were 8 staple beers (that were part of my sampler) with what looked like 4-6 rotating beers. The beers I had ranged from a stout to a fruit beer and offered some good options.
Overall, I liked this place, despite it being a little crowded during a heavy tourist weekend. This place can serve as a nice local hangout or a tourist destination.

The taplist had lots of options, but there wasn't anything from my sampler that really impressed me. Nothing bad, just nothing great either. The restaurant service was good and the food is good too, but I think I'd try someplace different the next time we're in town.
