The pebbled courtyard nestled behind the venerable Red Lion Inn is a quiet oasis steps from the throngs of tourists on Main Street. With colorful impatiens planted everywhere, it has the pleasant air of an old-money country club that has opened its doors to the public. There’s WiFi so you can check your email (and consult Rural Intelligence) while having a glass of wine or a beer at an umbrella table. The price of admission is easy: For $13 you’ll get a satisfying turkey sandwich or a cheeseburger with fries. While the menu has several salads—Berkshire greens with almonds and goat cheese ($10) and a Caesar salad ($9/$15 with grilled chicken) we wish there were an old-fashioned Cobb or Chef’s salad on the menu for the genuine country-club experience.
30 Main Street; 413.298.5545
