Is the Sam Adams Brewhouse at Bank of NH Pavilion worth it?

Submitted by DRealRonWeasley t3_11yl1fi in newhampshire

Just got tickets to see Noah Kahan (woo!) at Bank of NH Pavilion and I saw the option to get into Sam Adams Brewhouse for an extra $50 bucks. It sounds cool but I’m confused entirely what it is.

Are drinks free after the initial $50 bucks or do you just pay to get in?

Where is it? Can you see the stage from it?

Is it open before the show starts or only during the show?

Generally is it worth it?

If anyone can answer any of my questions i’d appreciate it, thanks!

Drinks are not free, you can see the stage from some of the seats, but not all of them.

Most people have dinner before the show and then move to their seats.

You have access to a better bathroom throughout.

Personally, I thought it was a total rip-off.

It's been a while but I seem to remember it being on the other side of a walkway very hard stage left - to the extent where you'd have a better view of the roadies than the band.

Drinks at shows are expensive but I remember the drink prices at this venue to be even higher than typical venues.

Not worth it at all.

If you manage to get a table outside, you can see the stage from a weird side-view. You aren’t guaranteed a table outside. Why anyone would go to a concert and sit inside eating/drinking and watching on the screens is beyond me.

The drinks aren’t free. Save your $50 and buy drinks with it.

You know if you’re looking to do some drinking, get buzzed up before at home or a bar close by, don’t pay 16 bucks for a beer.

I do think you can see the stage from it and if you plan to drink throughout the show you’ll be right near a bar the entire time, but I don’t think you get free drinks

If you have the money and want the comfort it's fine but you're just paying $50 for more comfort basically.

The value is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer to save the $50.

It used to be a great deal when they had a buffet and the bathrooms were better than the ones outside. Now there’s no buffet and they redid the bathrooms (and they’re great now). So yeah, unless you have a burning desire for a sit-down restaurant meal, it’s not worth it.

If it rains and you had outside seats, you're out of luck.

I think it's worth it to buy regular tickets, but paying extra to have access to the bar/bathrooms right there might be worth it.

I had fun when I went, but there was a huge thunderstorm/downpours, and I can't imagine wanting to run out in the lightning vs. peeing my pant.

If you want expensive, ask about a season pass to gain access to the top floor. That shit is bonkers.
