Iron Rail Pub & Grill

The Iron Rail in Woodsville never misses. From the moment you walk in, it’s all good vibes—friendly staff, a comfortable atmosphere, and ice-cold brews that always hit just right. The weekly specials are chef’s kiss and give you plenty of reasons to keep coming back. Big shoutout to Gaby behind the bar—she’s an absolute standout. Welcoming, attentive, and somehow always knows exactly what you need before you ask. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or settling in for the night, she makes everyone feel like a regular. Great drinks, great people, great energy—this place is a classic, not just a moment. 🍺💫 Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

My husband and I stopped on a whim to have a meal before we return to camping. I worked in hospitality many years ago, The waitress, Barbara, was energetic and delightful. Whoever the wednesday luncheon chef was, he/she was spot on. I had a steak with onion rings and seasonal squash. It was Cooked to perfection. My spouse had Beer battered fried Haddock, served with french fries and Coleslaw. All the fried food was excellent. Not greasy or unpalatable. Cocktails were good as expected. Not heavy handed, nor lacking. We camp nearby annually and we'll put this on our list of places to revisit. We hope to see Barbara again she was delightful. UPDATE: Returned for another meal about 2weeks later. This time, I had the Fish n Chips, and hubbie had the Salmon which was drizzled with a Balsa

Great outdoor fenced in area. We enjoyed a wonderful relaxed lunch with our dogs in the sun with plenty of shade. The staff came out frequently to take care of us, and brought a bucket of water for our dogs, and also bacon! We enjoyed a juicy burger cooked perfectly medium rare. Along with delicious IPAs and Pale Ales. The bartender and staff were outstanding! What a great afternoon in mid October.

The food was really good, I've been here a couple times now. My favorite is easily the cheese curds with a maple bourbon sauce. Good portion sizes, and reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and attentive, a decent selection for drinks. The cocktails I've had there have been quite strong compared to other places I've been. The layout of the place is a little strange, particularly the restroom location, but it's rustic and feels comfy and historic. I'll likely keep coming here when I'm in the area

I just moved to the area and this was a great little spot. I'm in a wheelchair and called to make sure it was accessible as I wasn't sure from Google. The guy who answered the phone was super helpful and polite. We found out there is a little elevator for the front steps which is great. The food was very good, the beer was EXCELLENT and the service was perfect without being over-bearing. I am very glad this place is a new nearby spot for me. I will be visiting again soon!
