  Which of the above eating places feature entertainment or are popular nightspots?

          At the
Patio Garden Restaurant, you can sit outside on the front lawn, bleachers or deck; or under cover at the bar or seated in the cocktail lounge, all the while watching great rock bands on Saturday nights.

          At the Weirs Beach Smokehouse, excellent blues bands are frequent performers on Friday & Saturday nights. You can dance there too.

          The Crazy Gringo is a perennial local favorite. The small bar attracts quite a large crowd. (In its previous incarnations, this Mexican restaurant was known as Rita's, and prior to that, as Nothin' Fancy).

          The Paradise Beach Club features the largest dance floor in Weirs Beach. Live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays, tribute bands on Thursdays, karaoke on Sundays and recorded entertainment on Wednesdays.

          At the Naswa Resort, you'll feel like you're in the tropics at the fantabulous Beach Bar, where there are live bands on most Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday afternoons . You'll also find entertainment at the Nazbar on Friday and Saturday evenings.

          At the "Saloon Corner" at the intersection of Route 3 and Roller Coaster Road, you'll find two saloons that cater primarily to the biker crowd. Both the Broken Spoke Saloon and the Boot Hill Saloon have multiple locations, with branches at the four largest US motorcycle rallies (in order of size, they are Sturgis, SD; Daytona, FL; Laconia (Weirs Beach), NH; and Myrtle Beach, NC). They are both very popular nightspots during Motorcycle Week, when there are bands, contests, and some really wild shows.

          In contrast to today's thriving nightlife scene, over a century ago, Weirs Beach was a "dry" town, no doubt due to the influence of the Methodists, who had their annual camp-meetings here. We do not know exactly when it became legal to serve alcoholic beverages in Weirs Beach. Here is an interesting excerpt from an August 31, 1885 Nashua Telegraph newspaper article, covering that year's reunion in Weirs Beach of NH civil war veterans.
          "The crowds that arrive on every train seem very orderly. There is little rowdyism, little drunkeness. This happy state of affairs is perhaps somewhat due to the efforts of the local police backed by the most influential people of the place, who are determined that the rumseller shall not curse this place and ruin its hopeful prospects and otherwise healthful influences, by carrying on his destructive trade. Arrests have been made of persons detected in selling liquors, and fines promplty imposed and paid, or in default of payment or bonds the jail has received the convicted persons. Rev. C. Libbey, the resident pastor, has been very efficient in creating the strong temperance sentiment of the place."
