Not quite as casual as Sud's Pub, but still pretty low-key; located under the Bethel Inn Resort; another solid option to catch the game, have a quick bite and a couple drinks

Recently opened local brewery in downtown Bethel serves up a varied array of tasty brews named after area features. If you are a fan of Belgium wheats, don't miss the Paradise Pearl! But you really can't go wrong with any of their beers. They even have a food truck on site! Open weekends and some select days during the week, so be sure to check out their website/Facebook for hours.

Parks & Nature

Awesome winter snowshoeing/hiking trail; 3-mile full loop can take adults 2 hrs or so, but the kids and I typically just go to North Ledges section and back (takes us 2 hrs or so); can be a bit steep in sections, but my 4 year old has completed it just fine; nice payoff view at top

Entertainment & Activities

Bethel's very own in-town, independently-run movie theater! Reasonably priced - my family of five can catch a show with snacks for about $30 bucks; of course if you add some adult beverages, the bill will be higher
