“Vincenzo and Addy at the front counter were so kind and friendly. I am visiting from out of state, and I accidentally went to the wrong location to pick up my order, not realizing there were two! But they were totally understanding, offered me water/soda while I waited, and had it remade for me exactly as I needed it at this location within 15 minutes. Excellent service, wonderful staff, and lovely environment. Will definitely be returning while I’m here!“

“WOW The red sauce at this Italian restaurant is amazing! Why did I take so long to try this restaurant and I had heard great things about Giorgios. The chicken parmigiano was delicious, but the meatballs were the closest to my own special homemade recipe. The atmosphere is lively with just the right lighting. Clean and the staff is friendly and upbeat. Can't wait to go back!!!“

“Such a fun and warm and welcoming atmosphere! It was my first time trying kava and the two baristas I’ve met so far were very knowledgeable and took extra time to explain to me (and my second time, to my friend!) The space is cozy and the games are awesome. Can’t wait to come back for trivia!“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“After my dad's funeral, we had a meal there and they did an incredible job, food was great, Kelly Dorgan handled all of the arrangements and they were spot on.Kelly who bartended, as well clearing tables and anything else that needed to be done she did. I recommend having the elks cater or put on any event for you and the cost was very very reasonable.“

“Renegade’s is a great place. You can’t beat the burgers and even better are the prices. They always have a great selection of 16 rotating craft beers on tap along with plenty in bottles/cans along with a full bar. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. My family and I have been many times and never leave unsatisfied.“

“I love the patio! Good for chilling with friends and family“

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

“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.“

“100% - without a doubt - THE BEST oysters!! Chicken wings are amazing also. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
