6 Best Brewpubs near Manchester

“Hands down the best brewery in Manchester. Also happens to be the first and still the best distillery in Manchester since prohibition ended. what makes it the best? First obviously is the beer. There are timeless classics that have been on tap for 30 years at Stark and also a nice variety of inventive and enticing new brews that let your tastes go for an adventure. And B, The spirits. Wow, this Bourbon is amazing. Meticulously crafted and patiently distilled giving it a very smooth character that tastes amazing neat or on the rox or mixed into one of Peter's Old Fashions. There is small batch crafted Rums, Whiskey, Gin, and Vodka also available that are top notch. To put a cap on it the food is amazing, look at the menu and pick something and it will be delicious. That has been my experience at Stark.“

“We have been many times and have never been disappointed. Love the openness, the live music, the food, the beer, great waitstaff. We live less than ten minutes away and it’s one of our go to places.“

“I’m surprised to see so many negative reviews of this place. I always look forward to flying out of MHT just so I can go here. The service is always excellent and while I don’t love everything on the menu (I find the tortillas often stale for the tacos) the burgers and fish and chips don’t disappoint. But again, the service is what brings me back — always friendly and attentive. Maybe it’s the difference between sitting at the bar (as I do) and table service, but I’ve never had the trouble others describe.“

“Awesome brewery with great beer! Family owned and run, great people and fantastic brews, something for everyone. Highly recommend!“

“We held our small wedding reception at Pipe Dream and everything was perfect. Everyone we worked with was amazing from the event coordinator Morgan, the chef Corey, the bartender Lisa, and all the rest of the staff. Morgan was great with giving us free range to decorate the space, get music playing, and get a slideshow on the TV. Corey made specific points to work with any food allergies or restrictions which made everyone very comfortable eating the food and checked in on when we wanted everything to come out. Lisa was great to talk to and work with during setup and the reception. We cannot recommend them enough, they really went above and beyond at making everything go as planned.“

“Solid beer and friendly staff. We visited from Nashville and can't wait to come back. Millie and Alex are awesome!“
