I love Nolans! It’s one of my favorites in town. It’s the Wolfeboro version of Cheers for us locals.

Default Exactly the same only different

Every time I see the thread about the Nolans I think about the extensive postings about the efforts and negotiations from the people who wanted to skydive at Laconia Airport.

I wonder what happened to them?

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread!

From their final posts in that thread, the Noonans are now taking their skydiving adventures around the globe, including skydiving Mt. Everest!

We love Nolan's. We go 8-10 times/season
they bill themselves as a brick oven bistro and I can tell you the pizza is excellent. Service has been great though we usually sit at the bar where Andy the bartender is a master at his craft.
Calamari is a great deal and nice size at $9.99

Definitely a favorite for pizza, apps and cocktails

I know it's off topic and I won't post again, but did they give up on the Laconia Airport?

Default The Return

So this past Sunday we went back to Nolans for Lunch.
As I stated in the OP we would go back and we would order sandwiches and salads.
So that is what we ordered sandwiches, salad, chowder and a flat bread, a glass of wine and a couple of beers.
Happy to report we had a very nice lunch. The food was to the quality I would expect and the service again was prompt and friendly.
Always fun to watch the Red Sox win as I eat lunch

You've posted that many times. We get it: everyone knows your name.

There have been a number of reviewers commenting that they felt marginal because waitstaff and bartenders were busy chatting with diners they knew. Perhaps you're part of the problem?

Default Nolan's

I also noticed that Nolan's has purchased the Cider Press restaurant , wonder what that means?

I would argue that it was. The cheesy "Cheers" reference is only supporting the notion that some diners have had, i.e., that you need to be a resident and regular to feel welcome. If you want to promote the place (whatever your connection to it), it would be best to find another way to describe it.
