Cool queer spot

Great place to meet up with friends, grab a pretzel, and some craft beers.
Staff is always super friendly and service is top-notch.

Hard pass. Went to support a drag show, when I arrived and paid the cover I was told I could get cash to use to tip the performers from the bar, but when I got to the bar I was told that was NOT an option and was sent on a crusade to a convenience store across and down the street in the cold while the show was already starting. Got to the store only to find the atm was broken, made a purchase for cash back, and discovered they don’t issue cash back. So ultimately I gave up, paid a cover and bought a tea at some rando store to end up missing the show and running the streets of Manchester in the cold. Also the bartender was pretty rude about the whole ordeal. All in all support local drag, but don’t do it at Hop Knot. I hope they consider implementing a way to secure cash to pay their performers like most other bars and restaurants who host drag shows do. I also hope they align communication with their staff better to avoid mishaps like this again. Based off the way I was treated I won’t personally be trying again ever to see, but I wish better for the patrons and performers there all the same.

Place has great vibes with nice beer selection and price. Only thing I am not a fan of is the S’more pretzel. Prob the burnt taste of marshmallow or something else tastes very weird. Would try something different next time.

The Hop Knot in Manchester is one of our absolute favorites! 🥨 🍻

Their sandwiches are delicious, and the pretzel-crust pizzas are uniquely amazing, such a fun twist you don’t find anywhere else. Pair that with great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, and you can’t go wrong.

We especially love their Thursday trivia nights, they’re always a blast and make the whole place come alive. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is just right for everything from a casual night out to a fun group gathering.

What makes it even more special is that The Hop Knot is absolutely a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, while still being welcoming to all. Between the food, drinks, inclusivity, and community feel, The Hop Knot has easily become one of our top go-to spots in Manchester. Highly recommend!

Im not a huge fan of the food here. I have eaten here multiple times and I believe there are a few better option on this street.

Nothing truly remarkable about the establishment itself but the staff are always excellent.

My favorite spot for a fun night out ❤️ genuinely a safe and comfortable environment. I enjoy the drinks and the pretzels, and they have a great selection of local beer, but the atmosphere, events, staff, and other patrons are really what get me there as frequently as I am. I especially love Thursday night trivia and monthly karaoke. Pictured is the Spin stuffed pretzel with homemade blue cheese- one of my favorite items there. I highly recommend the pretzel-crust pizza and the baked pretzel Oreos as well.
