The Panther Mountain Inn is located in the heart of Chestertown on Main Street. The pub is found on the lower level of the Inn. The building is built into a hill, so both are above ground. The Inn, which has been in business for about 50 years, has 13 rooms (I guess the owners are not superstitious). The new owners have been in business for less than a year. They also own a local taxi service, and encourage patrons to take advantage of a cab when necessary.
There was a birthday party in progress in an adjoining room, and at least a half dozen patrons not associated with the party were scattered throughout the bar. The long bar was setup to seat about 20 patrons, but there was room for many more if needed. The bartender, Ed, informed us that we just missed a large crowd of snowmobilers. The Panther Mountain Inn is located on a snowmobile trail that runs through town, and looks forward to various groups dropping in for food and drink at various times throughout the day. A group of 5 or 6 snowmobilers came in while we were there, the pungent odor of gasoline lingering on their snowsuits.
The pub is open 7 days a week from noon to close. They serve sandwiches, wings, (basic bar fare), throughout the day and night for a very modest price. I have heard that their sandwiches are delicious, but can only vouch for the wings that I found most delectable and not too messy. Though they don't have a happy hour, or daily drink specials, they do even better by having reasonable drink prices all day long.
A pleasant, comfortable place to drop in anytime of year, you'll find friendly staff, good food at a good value.
Bottoms Up!
