After a long day of conquering the breathtaking summits or skiing the commanding slopes of the White Mountains, kayaking along the pristine shorelines of Lake Winnepeausake, or even shopping the famous North Conway outlets, a refreshing ale or hearty meal are definitely in order. Fortunately, North Conway and surrounding communities offer plenty of choices to satisfy any hungry or thirsty hiking and backpacking enthusiast, including a wealth of musical performing talent. Many of these friendly mountain lounges are conveniently located near NH state campgrounds. Standouts include the Woodstock Inn, Station and Brewery in North Woodstock with expertly prepared steaks and fish and stage quality musicians on weekends; the Wildcat Inn and Tavern in Jackson Village, particularly famous for its Hoot Night Tuesdays which brings the region's best instrumentalists and singers to this open mic event; and the Grille 25 and Pub in Moultonborough which specializes in adding local flavor to cuisine favorites.
