I really liked this place and happy this place exists in Manchester. A smallish place with good food, good beers, TVs with sports, and really nice people. Feels like a neighborhood spot to grab a beer and chill for a little. PLEASE SEE AT THE END FOR WHAT MY RANKINGS MEAN.Ambiance 3.5/5 - Nothing super special about the inside but definitely welcoming and a nice space. Felt very comfortable. The downstairs bathroom area was a little odd, very low ceilings, but it's New England. That's expected.Food 4/5 - The food was really good and I was happy with it. I got the Fish and Chips. I LOVE fish and chips and this place did it well. I want to try more items next time I go. Drinks 4/5 - Solid beer menu. Didn't have any cocktails or even look what they had to offer. But next time. Waitstaff 5/5 - Really nice and attentive. I really appreciated the people who worked here.

A little gem. Found it by happenstance, but couldn’t have been happier. Service was warm and friendly, and the food was well done. A lovely little gastropub I’ll return to again and again.

Mussels by the sea! If you are ever in town and looking for a nice dinner spot with local seafood then this is the place! Stopped by here to visit over the weekend and decided to get dinner in town. There are not that many restaurants so the options are limited but this place was a pleasantly nice surprise. I was craving seafood and they had some nice options such as oysters, mussels, fish & chips, and a fish sandwich along with other non seafood items. I decided on the mussels and my bf got their fish & chips. We also ordered the last 6 local oysters and wish they had more because they were very good! They tasted fresh on their own and really yummy with a squirt of lemon juice. My mussels were bathed in a tomato based broth which were very tasty. The bowl was super packed with tons of mussels so I was pretty full by the end. We would definitely dine here again!

Great food and excellent drinks in a cozy, clean pub atmosphere. We had the buttermilk fried BLT chicken sandwich special and pork fried rice- both delicious. We will be back!

Pizza was great, especially if you like Flatbread. Also enjoyed the Flatbread salad, very Mediterranean style.
