“Usually, people are much more motivated to write about a bad experience than a good one. But after the experience my wife and I had, I felt like I should take a minute and give credit where it’s due. Our server, Joseph, was excellent. In 2026, genuinely good hospitality can be hard to come by, and he stood out. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience effortless! You could also tell he was just a genuinely good kid who takes pride in what he does!“

“We moved to NH from Philadelphia 15 years ago. Philly is a great town for food (that’s probably the only thing it’s great for) and while we love most things about NH, the choices for dinning out are definitely not one of those things. Cotton breaks that mold and would stand up to the best of what Philly has to offer. Food, service, and drinks were all top notch!“

“Not your ordinary food or beverage place. Stash Box was Outstanding! I like to get food choices that I could not make at home and this place definitely delivered. The cocktails were delicious and made with precision and freshness. The food was so tasty. We shared the pork belly Rangoon and dinner bread appetizers. It was the special touches added, like house made pickles and pimento spread and some wicked tasty chutney that made our taste buds explode. I had the falafel entree with broccolini (roasted to perfection) and super tasty. My husband had the pesto risotto, which was a special surprise. Of most importance, all the staff were attentive and friendly. I cannot recommend Stash Box more highly!“

“Unique cocktails and food in a moody atmosphere.

Loved how dark it was in here. Upstairs in an old brick building, great view of elm St from above. Sizeable drink menu with some interesting craft cocktails. The only place in Manchester I have found that serves a proper sazerac. Drinks were pretty pricey for portion, but they were of quality.
Mac and cheese was top shelf for a place with a small menu. Definitely more geared towards drinks and apps. Pretty crazy they could whip up something that good in the little kitchen they have.

Loitered for a couple hours and drank and played cards. Will definitely be coming back!“
