Gristmill Brewery

"Meet some friends here on a beautiful fall night. We sat on the deck overlooking the river, which was AMAZING! The staff was attentive, checking in regularly. The menu had a nice variety, including seasonal cocktails. We shared a few "small plates" (appetizers) which were fine. Two of us had three burnt ends and Mac & cheese which was delicious. The other person had the margarita pizza which she also enjoyed. Also worth noting was the bathroom was very clean. I will definitely return to try this place again."

"Great place. Loved the atmosphere and decor. The food was amazing and fresh. Also enjoyed the fact that the food is different and not the same frozen fried junk served at most other places. The only critique of the food was the portion sizes tend to be small (but they are based on recommended portions), however, the prices are quite high. Their beer is good and they brew a variety of style to suit everyone's palate. Can't wait to go back in the spring and summer to sit out by the river."

"We had our Christmas party in the event room and it was perfect! And absolutely GORGEOUS! Super convenient to be right by the bathroom AND have access to the beautiful river view. Food was awesome, and everyone left full and happy and wanting to come back."

"Absolutely wonderful restaurant. The atmosphere cannot be beat for the entire local area! A completely refurbished historical flour or "gristmill" structure on the edge of the Grasse River, the historical integrity of the original brick construction is not only preserved but highlighted throughout. Black wrought iron fixtures, antique equipment and gears, with Edison bulb lighting in the dining room create an atmosphere that echoes the past while providing modern convenience. The giant horseshoe bar has ample and comfortable seating, with every angle offering a charming and interesting view. The on-site brewing tanks are an arm's length away, and the seasonal offerings from brewmaster Kyle are always exciting and delicious (coming from someone who typically does not drink beer!). The menu is so thoughtfully crafted, there is something that will please every person in a group. Though not extensive in the offerings, the options have truly been perfected in their execution by Chef Russ and his staff. Seasonal rotations and weekly specials keep regular patrons like me always able to try something new and exciting. Holiday meal specials and the new schedule of live music and special events means this place will only grow better over time. The staff are always friendly and inviting, with prompt service and always accommodating for families; make sure you ask about the kids menu options! The landscaping is unrivaled in the area, with a spacious and inviting lawn; with spaces for entertainment, seating and games- not to mention the largest riverside patio I've seen in the north country. Every angle of this property is Intagrammable, the management has paid incredible attention to detail in every aspect; and they can be seen regularly checking in on guests with big smiles for everyone. As a side note, there is a spacious event space on the lower level, that walks out to a private view of the river, with an inlaid brick path connecting to the lawn. I will never have enough good things to say about the Gristmill Brewery; just go for yourself and enjoy!"

"This was our first time eating at the Gristmill Brewery. What a breath of fresh air for this community. The building itself is beautiful. Walking up to it, I was blown away by the craftsmanship of the wooden doors and brick exterior. Inside was more of the beautiful brick and large wooden beams. We had the Octoberfest draft, and it was delightful. The food was topnotch. I had the shrimp salad and baked french onion soup. Every bite of the salad was amazing, as was the flavor of the french onion soup. My husband had the Chipotle Chicken Flatbread, he said it was great. I can attest to this since I couldn't help but steal a piece, and 100% agreed! The bartender was quick and friendly! We had a fantastic experience and will be back to enjoy this hidden gem!"
