Tailgate Tavern

And we back! Tailgate Tavern in Stratham, NH was my first destination to check out after my social media break this past week+. I was told they had a decent craft beer selection & some good eats from a co-worker so I figured I'd swing in. Once I sat down & checked out the beer menu I realized it wasn't as large or as diversified as I had hoped, but they still had some great New England staples. I'm at over 7,300 different beers drank since I started my beer journey in 2019 so it's not easy to find a new beer I haven't had sometimes. The place had a fun, sportscentric vibe & I could definitely see myself kicking back & watching a game or two here in the future. Some of the goods flowing here were LUNCH IPA from Maine Beer Company, Guinness Stout & the Belgian White Wheat from Blue Moon Brew

What a wonderful surprise! We visited Tailgate Tavern on a whim while driving home. It was busy on a Wednesday night, but they managed to find us a seat. The service was amazing, and our waitress gave us plenty of time to look at the menu. They serve a variety of beers, cocktails, and wine. I love a themed cocktail menu, and their autumn-themed menu had so many options. The Fall in Love was blended perfectly and gave cozy fall vibes. The menu offers a huge selection of pizzas, sandwiches, salads, etc. The buffalo chicken tenders were drool-worthy - so much so that we ordered a second batch to bring home for lunch. The chili and honey mustard turkey wrap was also good; however, I wish I had gotten an extra side of sauce. We'll be back for sure, and hopefully snag a seat at the bar next tim

By far, the best restaurant in the Exeter area. I've lived here for 6 years and have tried every spot around. The staff here is wonderful and makes it a priority to make you feel welcomed. The food is awesome and their specials are always fun and new. The regulars you meet every time make you want to come back. This restaurant gives you a sense of community while also providing and incredible spot to get dinner and relax. I cannot say enough great things about Tailgate. Try it out and see for yourself!

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The food is outstanding and consistently excellent, and the service is just as good. It’s become our go-to spot when we don’t feel like cooking but still want a great meal. We usually order a few different dishes so we can share—everything is that good. We’re especially big fans of French onion soup and make a point to try it everywhere—Buckley’s, The Chop House, even The Capital Grille—but no one has beaten this one yet. @tailgatetavern

Quickly seated. Waitress was attentive. I tried the French onion burger with dipping soup. Wife had apple fig flatbread. We thought everything was delicious. Would definitely go back.
