The Dover Forge Restaurant originally opened in 1961 and has become an après-ski and dinner favorite in the Mt. Snow Valley for years. Home to One More Time Billiards Parlor & Tavern, this place is one of our favorites to visit after a day on the slopes. Accommodating bar, outdoor fire pit, corn-hole, pool tables, great small bites, and the best smoked wings around! Highly recommended!
