21 Best Bars near Goffstown

“We’re locals and have only eaten here once or twice. Gotta tell you though, we decided to come by and have some sandwiches the other day. To say the food was great would be an understatement. The Pastrami Rueben was the best I’ve ever had. My wife had the fish sandwich, which she devoured. The freshly made potato fries could have been a meal in itself, so good. I think you may have just earned some regular patrons. God Bless.“

“Absolutely a great place to go ! Atmosphere, Service, ….. and appetizers and entree’s were excellent. Drinks they will create per your request. Hat’s off to the Service and the Chef’s ! 👍👍👍👍👍 Must sit near the guitar guy in the bar area ! Great to have a fun, relaxing, dinner listening to a selection of the best of the 70’s, 80’s,90’s, to current .“

“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!“

“Not your parents Wild Rover.
There have been a lot of positive changes at this bar since Jesse bought it. If you’ve avoided it because of experiences in the past I will tell you that you should stop by and try it now. From things as simple as the new glassware to the menu to, and, particularly, the staff, it’s a totally different experience. For me it’s gone from the place I’d go on Thanksgiving and a couple of other times a year, not by choice but because the people I was hanging out with insisted to my neighborhood bar of choice, with the fact it’s an Irish Pub only better.. Jenn, Jesse, Ben, Aiden and the rest of the crew make it a place you’ll want to visit again and again. I highly recommend! As always, don’t forget to tip your bartenders!“

“I had my son's graduation party yesterday, July 12, 2025. I rented out their space behind the bar at an affordable price. I worked closely with the General Manager, Jamison Colcord. He was wonderful to work with during the planning stage as well as the day of the event. He even got there an hour before the event, so I could put up decorations. The staff members that were assigned to assist my party were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. If I ran out of food, Jamison and the staff did everything they could to get me the additional food I needed for my guests (I had 13 teenagers to feed :). They took care of boxing the leftover food and cleaning the space after the party was over. My friends and family who attended the party said that they didn't know Margarita's rented out space and said the food and the party were wonderful. I would definitely rent the space again for an opportunity to work with Jamison and the staff again at Margarita's on Elm Street in Manchester, NH.“

“This place is amazing! I love the remodel- old-timey vibe with a laid-back feel. Drinks were so imaginative and complex. I appreciated the food too-I'm going to try and recreate the Mahummara dip (if I'm spelling it right). Considerate server. I really can't recommend it enough. I've been twice and had a great experience both times.

Vegetarian options: There were vegan and vegetarian options.“

“Great manager. We held a party for 30. Food was wonderful and the manager Paige provided great service.“

“First, it is CERCLE When we have bands, you do not have to be a member to come see them, you just need to go to one of our awesome bartenders and they will instruct you what needs to be done.“

“Cannot Thank the amazing staff Nikia, Matthew, Chef Ben enough for such an incredible dinner. We were celebrating our son leaving for boot camp and your staff were just amazing. The made our dining experience a night we will cherish. Oh yeah the food chef’s kiss. We will be customers for life!“

“great private club with a family feel“

“The food and drinks were great and my server, Primrose, was so friendly!! I will definitely be back especially since there’s outdoor seating when it’s nice out.“

“Mike's Is Where The Fun Begins And Where It Ends“

“Great food and drinks. Always friendly staff. Best place to eat in town.“

“I ordered for the first time on door dash and their noodle birria is the best soup I have ever had. I highly recommend it and will definitely be ordering it again real soon. The soup is well worth the price in quality and quantity. It has lots of yummy birria meat at the bottom also.“

“I was just here today, among many other times, but I have so much respect for the owner and her staff. The food is quick, the drinks are good, but due to the location, there is an influx of hungry folks. A gentleman came in asking for French fries, although I offered to pay for his fries but was asked not to, the way this woman handled the situation was impeccable. She treated him like an actual human when most do not. She packed up his fries, got him anything he needed, and even threw in some extra fries for him to have. I have NEVER had a bad experience here and this just solidified for me the integrity and honor this owner has. Love being here!!!!“

“Stark House Tavern, the local watering hole. The only place where I can hate every ingredient in something and end up liking it (M-80s). The "North of the Border" tots? Immaculate. Imagine munchkins except they're mashed potatoes in a shell of deliciousness, smothered in gravy and cheese curds. Angels sing every time a plate of them gets put in front of me. The burgers? Perfect. As long as you dont order it well done like a buffoon.

My only gripe with this place is that it's not big enough but that's okay because they serve you beer in the "waiting room", which is enough to shut me up about waiting. Way better than the doctors office waiting room. My second only gripe is that I wish they had more options for Sours and Ciders, cause I love them and there's usually only 1 or 2. This is a "me" problem because I'm at Stark more than I'd like to admit, and get bored easily. They do have a good selection of Stouts, Porters and IPAs, which are essentially jet fuel in my humble opinion. The servers are also super nice! (yes I just left there a few hours ago).“

“Always good service and food“

“Piccolo Restaurant on Elm st Manchester Nh - the absolute BEST place for Italian! Lunch or dinner ! We’ve been for both!“

“Great bartenders! Great people! Lots of fun. Definitely going back again!! Thank you, Robin 😊“

“I’ve been to Bonfire before with friends and it was a great atmosphere! If you’re looking for a fun night out, it’s a great bar would recommend them. However, I tried contacting them at least 4 times to book a private event and never got a reply. Really disappointing because they were our first choice. So if you’re looking to host a function I hope you have better luck than I did.“

“Great place to be outside, enjoy the weather, have great food and drinks! Kids love the space, the food and fun! The service team took great care of us!“
