“Great little spot, owners were very friendly and fun. It was Halloween night in Derry and their costumes were EXCELLENT! Small spot but bar seating, a few high tops made it a perfect and enjoyable experience. We only got to enjoy a couple beers but oh my were they great. Full of flavor. Full of character. Executed very well. "But mostly I'm all Labrador Retriever" a nice hazy NEIPA full of that juicy flavor you want. My favorite was the "Observance" a Belgian Dark Strong Ale with notes of brown sugar and rum. What a great choice for this time of year. We will definitely revisit this local spot. We didn't get to try any food but maybe next time around.“
“Sugarshine Cocktail recipe below!Had a very nice experience when I visited last week. Doire has a quaint storefront with nice displays of all their products, as well as a nice tasting area. This distillery offers every type of distilled liquor out there: Gin, Whiskey (Rye+Bourbon), Tequilla, Vodka, Rum, Moonshine... all of it. They are not branded as such in some cases, but have all the flavors you would expect.I primarily drink gin and bourbon, and must say the Flush was one of the better gins I have had. Right on par with the Botanist. The bourbon lacked the oakiness you would expect in a bourbon, it needs to be aged much longer.As a side note, all the bottles below look the same, but the cards dealt on the front are the variety identifiers. A cool concept, but could cause confusion for those that are not aware... the flavor profiles outlined below:++Flush, citrus juniper--Kings, Lemon grass chamomile black pepper corn-Queens, Oris root and rose hips+Jack's, Cucumber mintThe flush was BY FAR the best they offer, the rest are ranked with + and - for best to worst.I also tried the moonshine (sugar shine) which I found pleasant as far as moonshine go. I have used it in a variety of the "Sex on the Beach" cocktail and dubbed it a "Sex in the Woods".My version of the recipe below - please let me know if you try it!!Sex in the Woods......2 parts Doire Sugarshine0.75 parts peach schnapps1.5 parts Orange Juice1.5 parts Cranberry Juice1 spoon of Chambord (optional)Server over ice, shake optional.“
“Hidden away in east derry is a place called the east derry tavern. Your probably thinking some local dive that isnt that great but youd be wrong. The food is killer and reasonable with a diverse menu. The atmosphere is friendly and pleasant. The owner wanders out frequently to make sure youre satisfied and is genuinely interested in your opinion. This is no ordinary tavern!“
“Best Crepe I have had in a long time. This was the apple cinnamon which I requested they add banana. So so good. Coffee was fabulous as well. Next time, I'm trying a savory crepe. Nifty space, cool vibe, clean and comfortable. My only negative is that the music was too loud for my liking, however I still be going back.“
“Cute roadside ice cream joint. Creative items on the menu. Friendly folks behind the counter, and I don't know if it's always like this... But the day I was there it was really fast. I ordered a sundae, and I had it in about a minute, which seems surprisingly fast, considering there was a bunch of people there. And... Yes, it was delicious.“
“I have no words. You have to experience this shop in person. Don’t look at photos, don’t read any other review, just go. Chocolate? The best I’ve ever had and changing everyday. Coffee? Of course, how can you have a chocolate shop and not have chocolates closest relative. Food? Visit their website because it varies. Today I had a Mallorca sandwich that was euphoric. A true labor of love fueled by passion and creativity. Richard is a chocolatier godsend, and has to be one of, if not, the best shop owners I’ve ever met. Go, enjoy, learn, and appreciate this gift.“
“Words cant describe the joy i felt the first time i pulled up crack'd's gluten free menu...to see it was damn near the same as the regular menu! That is so rare and I absolutely treasure that experience every time. They are amazing with other allergens as well! Their gf fried chicken is off the chain- my memories of 'normal' fried chicken cant even hold a candle. I usually get the gf sweet and spicy chicken sandwich with extra honey sriracha. Which is mindblowing!! But everything i have had here (and everything my non-gf husband has had from his accounts) has been amazing, both drinks and food. I will be back again and again (and again) anytime I am in the area.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free friendly and sooo much more“
“This was our first time trying this place. It was earlyish dinner so not busy. Super friendly & fast service. My jalapeño stuffed pretzel with beer cheese was delicious. My wife got the rueben pretzel sandwich and enjoyed it.Vegetarian options: As long as you eat cheese, there's options.“
“Located in downtown Manchester, this small restaurant has a lot of personality. The bar was spacious with most tables understandably empty on a Monday afternoon. Our nachos were nothing to brag about, but my friend’s tuna appetizer looked amazing. We were both pleased with the cocktail menu and our selections. I would definitely recommend the Spicy Mango Margarita.Vegetarian options: Shockingly few vegetarian items“
“I stopped by Border Brewery today for some lunch and a beer. I got the brisket sandwich, a side of baked beans and a pint of their strawberry wheat ale and all three did not disappoint. The food was very flavorful and some of my favorite BBQ I’ve had up north. The beer was light and refreshing without being too fruity. My only regret is I didn’t have a bigger stomach to try the whole menu, but I will definitely be making the drive back from Boston for seconds! Great cozy atmosphere with friendly workers and good music. I would definitely recommend!“

“Amazing fresh baked apple crisp topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The Coffee Kahlua Brownie ice cream is also amazing. This place is a hidden gem. Sorry I didn't discover it until late in the season. We'll be back for sure.“
“This is my favorite local spot to grab coffee ☕️ . If you don’t mind loud music, makes a great place to work from as well. Great coffee aside, it offers a fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food - my go-to is the mc’clucker (chicken salad on an everything bagel), which comes with chips and and an AMAZING cookie, but would also recommend the breakfast vegetarian sandwich, avocado toast, and their smoothie bowls.“
“The perfect name for a cool little ice cream place!! I love The Big 1!! Fantastic variety, decent prices, always friendly and helpful people working there. They have great flavors and yummy hot dogs. "The Big 1" size it crazy huge!! It's a cash only establishment so be prepared! It's worth it though!! Yum!!!“
“Love this gem! Some of the best Christmas trees we've ever found! They have such a good variety of plants and goods. Very unique items year round. Very reasonably priced as well! If you're driving by it's a great place to stop and check out every time!“
“We have been fans of their beers for years, and finally made it to Manchester. Great selection of IPAs, which skew slightly bitter to our liking. The local is modern, clean, and inviting. The beertenders were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit so we can try their pub fare, along with the excellent libations. We also tried their stout, which my partner loved, but I found it pedestrian.“
“My brother has been a loyal customer at Crazy Noodle for almost 2 years, and I had the pleasure of dining there yesterday. I was truly impressed by the delightful soup – a perfect blend of sweetness and richness without being overpowering. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The menu is both diverse and appealing. Without a doubt, Crazy Noodle has become my top choice for noodle cravings. I wholeheartedly recommend it, 100%.“
“Staff was nice and shakes were good but it was super crowded and disorganized - couldn't really tell where the line started and ended or if there was even a line at all. Would recommend putting up some signage or one of those things that defines where the line should go.“
“Always a good time! Friendly staff, good food, and beer. They have plenty of bar and table seating in doors. They also have outside picnic tables and chairs if it's nice out. Reasonable prices and I love the Radioface beer. Great small local brewery in the area!!“
“"I went to Riverwalk with a friend, and we had an amazing experience. The food and drinks were great, and it was a good place to come back again. A tiny baby was there with her family, and she seemed to love it too, as she was smiling all the time. I will definitely be back."“
“We had pizza delivered today and it was SO GOOD! and you can't beat the price and free delivery! Our doorbell was dead and the driver waited outside for us which was super appreciated!!! Always great pizza and food from here! (Especially the frosting filled cookies!)“
“My coworkers and I go to Smoke shack every Friday, because it's just that good! I've never had a bad item on the menu, the dining area is quaintly decorated, and the service is great. The business is family owned and they practically know us all by name at this point. My coworkers highly recommend the habanero melt, but if you're not one for spicy food, the Cuban or the hickory melt are both delicious.“
“Pressed for Time catered a coffee bar at my wedding. Eddie was great to deal with. He made sure that everything was perfect. The coffee bar was a big hit among guests. I highly recommend Pressed for Time if you need coffee for an event and want something impressive.“
