Best place to grab a drink in/near Laconia

[d3ad1ysp0rk]

Me and my buddy are heading up Friday night, and we're going to stop for a drink or two at some point. I'd like to know where you all suggest going.

Patrick's Pub in Gilford is probably right on your route but far enough south that you won't have to fight traffic to get there.

[h20rocket]

not sure about the Laconia , Gilford area but once you get to Weirs my favorite spot is The Naswa

[RandyO]

I don't think there is a "good" place to stop for a drink during bike week

too many leos, especially close to Laconia

your license that your taking a chance with

Uhhh.. 0.07999 or bust!

I like the weirs lobster pound, but it does get very crowded!

[Sheppo]

+1 for Patricks

[loridin64]

Naswa will be retarted busy and its right in the middle of the route to Weirs from downtown. Foods not all that great and the drinks and pricey

Lobster Pound is right in the middle of it all. Its ok, got kicked out of there last year so i dont go back

Patricks is great. Everytime im up i usually go there atleast once.

Downtown Laconia (rt 107) has several restaurant type bars. Cactus Jacks, T-Bones, etc.

Broken Spoke is good biker place to hang out. Reasonably busy, typically have cheap drink specials. Its in the middle of the Weirs loop

If you want to get away from Laconia, Meredith would be my choice. Excellent bars on the water

I was there on Saturday, really crowded. 5$ cover fee but seemed like a decent time if you are into watching bands and drinking

[RandyO]

I actually hope you guys get busted

[d3ad1ysp0rk]

I actually hope you guys get busted

What's your problem? They set laws for a reason, if you're within them, what is the issue? Having 2 beers and riding isn't going to kill anyone. But I'm sure you're a saint and have never done ANYTHING that would increase the possibility (passing on a double yellow, speeding, etc)?

[RandyO]

Having 2 beers and riding isn't going to kill anyone.

sounds like wisdom of a drunk

like I said, I hope you get busted and have to go to DWI school to learn something

[burnham]

I'm going to shoot up there Friday, usually hit the Mt.Washington and have a couple.

I actually hope you guys get busted

I hope a shark jumps out of the ocean and bites you right in the snatch.

What the fuck am I going to get busted for? Riding while under the legal limit?

Take your bullshit reasoning elsewhere and stop trolling my thread.

you don't have a very good understanding of NHs DUI laws do ya

.08 is only the point of absolute primafacie evidence, they can get you for anything over .03

operating a motor vehicle after drinking is illegal in NH

Funny because NH Law says 0.08+ is illegal. Find me the law that says I can get in trouble for 0.03.

do you have some sort of breathalyzer on your bike that is going to tell you the difference between .03 or .08?

[d3ad1ysp0rk]

No but I've taken a breathalyzer before and I sure as fuck know two drinks isn't 0.08+ for me.

People need to chill the fuck out. 90% of rides on this site involve people racing around like the street is a track and endangering the lives of others more then someone having 2 beers is going to, and yet no one says anything.

Alcohol gets a bad rap from people who don't know their limits.

[d3ad1ysp0rk]

The only reason that is in there is for when they test you 30 mins after they pull you over and you're 0.07.

0.08 is the legal limit. I'm not breaking a law, and I can guarantee that you have, so how can you even attempt to argue this? GTFO of my thread troll.

.08 is prima facie

above .03 + other evidence like cop says your sluring words, not walking straight or other drunken behaivior, more specificly being argumentative, will get you arrested and convicted


try arguing with a cop that you need to be .08 and find out for yourself

You are quite the grumpy old fart aren't you?

Do you bitch at everyone that drives by on their cell phones?

If not, STFU because that is more dangerous. If so, you need to do some meditation or something to try and live a happier life and not let things get to you so much.

I don't care if you have 50,000 posts, I can't believe no mods care that you're trolling like this. At least I got my answer before you could ruin my topic. Thanks to everyone else, I'll be enjoying a beer or maybe even TWO.

[Kurlon]

Do you bitch at everyone that drives by on their cell phones?

Yes, I do actually. I also piss off my employer by refusing to answer mine when working if driving.

What of it?
