5 curated spots for eating and drinking at Cannon Mountain
On-Mountain Dining
On-Mountain1 pick
Café 4080
Tram Summit Lodge, Cannon Mountain summit
Cannon’s summit-lodge café is listed for light food and drinks. Plan a stop only when Cannon confirms both summit access and café service; the retired aerial tramway is not an access option.
Why We Like It
A convenient summit break when it is operating. Check the current mountain report before relying on this stop, and keep a base-lodge meal as the fallback.
Earlier guide details
Earlier menu idea: Hot chocolate with a view. Choose from the restaurant’s current menu when you visit.

Why We Like It

Cannonball Pub
Peabody Base Lodge, Cannon Mountain
A base-lodge pub with a full bar, sandwiches and appetizers, plus a deck looking toward Cannon’s summit and Franconia Ridge.

A relaxed sit-down alternative to cafeteria dining without leaving the mountain base. Choose the deck when conditions suit, or stay inside for a meal and drink.

Schilling Beer Co.
Littleton riverfront campus, 16–26 Mill Street, New Hampshire
Schilling’s original red mill Pub & Kitchen sits beside the Ammonoosuc River, serving wood-fired pizza, beer, salads and small plates. The wider campus also includes Mill Street Kitchen and a tasting room.
Why We Like It
The old mill and riverside setting make this a comfortable town outing after skiing. Head to the original red Pub & Kitchen for pizza, and leave time to explore Littleton around the meal.
