Burnt Timber Completes Expansion
New Space…
…New Attitude
“I want locals to feel like this is their pub and visitors to the area to feel welcome.”
Nearly doubling its space in June as it expanded next door into what had been Mise en Place restaurant, Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern recently completed interior renovations, highlighted by a new bar area and kitchen. The expanded space also features two dining areas with one designed around a large community table and “a slightly quieter feel,” according to Owner and Head Brewer Eddie Michno.
“It’s amazing how far we have come in such a short time,” he noted. “We can accommodate private group gatherings with their own catered menu, and our new bar space provides the perfect setting for our handcrafted cocktails and mocktails. ”
Michno credited both staff and community members for putting in substantial “sweat equity.” “My staff rolled with all the new changes, which included an expanded menu, while several customers and staff members stepped up and helped with the construction aspects,” he said. “I also want to say a special thank you to my crew member Johnny Gillette who did a lot of the work and Jason Denver, owner of Northern Tile, for giving us our beautiful horseshoe bar.”
The result, said Michno, is not just a new space and bar , but a new attitude. “I want locals to feel like this is their pub and visitors to the area to feel welcome as they explore this area,” he said. “I hope this is the first and last stop people make when they come into town.”
Citing walking distance to the Cotton Valley Rail Trail trailhead in downtown Wolfeboro, Michno said Burnt Timber’s expansion better positions it as a tourist and culinary destination. “You can have a meal or a craft brew in comfort here before exploring the many trails that are accessible—and beautiful this time of year with the leaves—right from downtown Wolfeboro,” he explained. “You can also just sit back and relax in a restaurant that gives you a glimpse into the local scene here in Wolfeboro.”
