This Irish Pub Hiding Inside A Converted New Hampshire Church Is Basically Heaven On Earth

New Hampshire is full of hidden gems. From beautiful hiking trails to lakes to beachside restaurants, there’s an astounding amount of fun packed into this small state. As the spring and summer approach, we’re spending a lot of time thinking about how to best enjoy the outdoors. But, let’s not forget that every so often you just want to relax and enjoy a few drinks and good food indoors. To really take things higher, check out this unique spot located inside a converted church.

The church building that is now home to Holy Grail Restaurant & Pub was built in 1895. It was known as St. Joseph’s Church.

The inside of the building has been restored, helping it to look just as it might have back when it was an operating place or worship.

Not us! And that’s why thinking about their fish and chips has us wishing it were a valid mealtime right now. What? Second dinner isn’t a real thing?
