Where to eat?
The food at Sunday River is delicious and easily accessible whether you are on the base of the
mountain, or the summit! Here is what you should watch for:
  • The Foggy Goggle in Southridge Lodge
  • The Barker Bar in Barker lodge (base of Barker Mt.)
  • Waffle Cabin (base of Barker Mt.)
  • Peak Dinners (summit of South Ridge)
  • Sliders (off of Lollapalooza on Jordon Bowl)
  • Southridge Lodge and Barker Lodge food courts also offer a more casual, more affordable dining experience. 

In addition to the above, I would also like to recommend the Sunday River Brewing Co. Located just
minutes away from the base of the mountain in Bethel, this is a personal favorite spot of mine to
unwind after a good day of skiing.
