4 Best Bars in The Seacoast, New Hampshire

Downtown's early 1900s YMCA building has been converted into this gorgeous, high-ceilinged music venue with brick walls, color artwork, and a snug mezzanine. An impressive lineup of jazz and blues bands perform here, and full dinner service from a Southern-accented menu is available before each show.

This cool music club and pub in beautifully restored 1835 former Methodist church on a hilly bluff in historic Newmarket presents first-rate rock, reggae, folk, jazz, and blues.

After a day of fun at the beach, head a few miles inland to this working farm on 12 acres and its sustainable brewery that crafts first-rate ales using as much local ingredients as possible—some of the hops are grown on-site. On sunny days, sample Throwback's beers in the tented beer garden, and any time of year, you can sip and dine on farm-to-table pub fare, from cheese plates to Korean beef bowls. You can also buy seasonal produce at the farmstand.
