Broken Spoke

I've always wanted to stop in, but it's never the right time and they never looked open. Good luck to the new owners—it looks like it has great potential.

I agree but I think it’s because the parking and main entrance is the back not on Route 3.

It would be cool if they'd throw a flag out when open—I love when places make it easy to know they're open.

I have known Andy for some time, both professionally and personally. He has invested a lot of time and money into properties and businesses around the area. As TBB noted, the Turner's have run this business 51/52 weeks for several years- they know what the business is. This is a win for the area!

There is no business relationship with HD or any Harley dealership. However, the Turners have Harley Davidson motorcycles and ride them often.

They are a nice, hard working family and I wish them well.

Everything is still on schedule for a New Years Eve Day opening.

I wish them well and any open business in the Weirs area is a plus for the whole area. It brings people here who might not otherwise be in the neighborhood. Best of luck and we'll come visit after the rush of the re-opening dies down.

They should have renamed it to the "Mended Spoke".

This was in todays LDS...

The establishment, formerly known as the Broken Spoke, is seeking permission to build a 2,300-square-foot to its building at the corner of Route 3 and Watson Road, as well as a 5,000-square-foot pavilion, and install a 3,200-square-foot patio.

The addition to the building will start after Bike Week. It will extend to the rear of the building toward the parking lot where the large ramp is now.

The pavilion will have a stage and the plan is to have entertainment there.

I was thinking about what influence Broken Spoke may be having on the Tamarack Drive-In, right across the street. So I tried pulling up their web site and it was gone. Anyone know anything about the 'ole Tamarack? It's had it's ups-and-downs for decades, if not centuries.

It draws a different crowd.
It was one of the few places that I would go on that side of Laconia.
But generally I stick to Laconia's South End.

Lots of work going on at the old Boot Hill Saloon also.

They are converting the building to condos at the Boot Hill. I think they got approval for 4-5 units.

Hopefully whomever buys those understands they bought across the street from a Roadhouse and don't try to change it all.

Not sure what is going on at Sun Valley... other than it is under agreement.
