The Upper Valley is a fantastic place – my brother Joe and I are grateful for the dizzying amount of support and the “hurry up already!” we've received from many of you regarding the opening of our 3rd location at 7 Lebanon Street in Hanover, NH.

Well, we’re pleased to announce that several major hurdles (enough for a reality TV show, but that’s for another blog) were cleared between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and construction is in full swing – in fact, if all goes well we will be opening our doors in late January!

In addition to thirsty, well-wishing pub-goers, we’ve been inundated with questions regarding the new restaurant – so I’d like to welcome everyone to visit either Salt hill Pub, in Lebanon or Newport, NH, and chat up a bartender or server over a frosty beverage or a Firehouse Burger. We have one of the best and friendliest staffs in the Upper Valley, and they receive daily updates from the front lines.

If you’re unable to stop by in person, check out Salthillpub.com for periodic updates as well as calendar listings for a wide variety of fantastic live music at the pubs. And, if you prefer your information a bit more up-to-date, you can now follow Salthillpub on Twitter.

Again, we thank everyone for the support, good humor and patronage in 2009, and look forward to serving you in Hanover in 2010 and beyond. We are proud to be your Local!
