Mulligan's of Manchester Restaurant & Pub

Our local company had our annual gathering at Mulligans recently, and the food was great! We got a few appetizers (the nachos filled 4 of us - not the really big, just the regular size), some chicken wings, 2 steaks, and 2 burgers. The food came out hot, and it was so good! Our waitress was great! She was extremely busy due to the holiday weekend, but made sure that all of her customers were happy. Thanks again for the great food and service!

I was a chef here for 5 years. Silence is complicit. After a restaurant theft that took place in the summer of 2018, I decided to join the team and sleuth a little bit of audio to see if there was anything more to this place. It had a colorful reputation and I was also looking for a job. The safe situation went by the wayside, and I decided to stick around... I stuck around here for two reasons - low self esteem and easy alcohol. Sticking around this long, it bears mentioning that there are some things that made me less than satisfactory, primarily alcohol consumption, but none of my transgressions resulted in: fleeing a traffic collision resulting in the bodily harm of a coworker while intoxicated, requiring vehicle replacement (yes, THAT happened), hiring a heroin-loving server who strongly influenced the death of one of our beloved passed-on servers (happened), grabbing a server's neck (happened), sending a server home in tears with 6 open tables (HAPPENED!) chefs constantly squaring off for different reasons (frequently) and so on. I can confirm this place reenforces addiction, and allowed our dishwashers to do more drug dealing than washing dishes. Please view the video I provided of one of our dishwashers dipping in and out of consiousness. I can confirm that one of our dishwashers TURNED OUT to be a pedo. It's also widely accepted that one of our staffers who came/went within 2 weeks was actually involved in an OD death of an individual, in collaboration with ANOTHER of our dishwashers. ANOTHER one of our chefs actually passed away by OD. Here I am now, and feel so disappointed in myself for allowing myself to placate the abusive folks on the line, echoing the cadence of their abusive fathers. I had no more patience. What I DO have is about 46 minutes of compiled audio [LEGAL BELOW†] detailing the ongoing prison yard of a kitchen environment which keeps turnover high, unless you'll stick around for booze. Audio of our chefs calling one of our black staff the N word, audio of a 36 year old chef threatening to beat up a 73 year old chef, audio of one of our chefs saying that everyone with an addiction should die from it, audio of one of our chefs bragging that he would never answer to a woman boss, audio of one of our chefs bragging about how they don't support businesses where employees don't speak English, audio of a chef threatening to 'put me over his lap', audio of a chef rejoicing the injury of another coworker, audio of a chef telling a server to put a nipple in his mouth, audio of how arson is considered 'Jewish lightning'... etc. There is also a very strong tone of homophobia as well which never really sat well with me, having members of LGBTQ in my own family. Biting my tongue, I also noticed Tom's almost annual habit (the guy with the mustache who greets you at the door) of essentially rationalizing the team's use of the N word because "black people say it all the time". I even witnessed one server grabbing another by the neck. Perhaps the most off-putting thing that occurred was when one of our chefs showed off video of him showing up at a server's house drunk at 1AM with unknown intentions... tell me that isn't fd up. Take a second to appreciate how happy you were to leave middle school, leaving behind the bully that would have no purpose - but to keep you in the crosshairs and takes no greater pleasure than to cut others down constantly. You will find THIS PERSON here behind the line. Probably suffering from Oppositial Defiance Disorder (ODD, look it up), this team member was constantly confrontational or standoffish and would have the intensity of a heart attack when micromanaging. He was the ultimate catalyst for my departure. One of my most enduring memories was at the end. The last three months. I couldn't take it anymore and told our African-American employee that the N word was being used against her. Upon hearing that I told her, the chef's demeanor changed against me completely. For the three months that

We settled on this place for lunch after exploring the land of covered bridges from Shushan & Salem, NY to Arlington, VT.(Tue 10/22/24). We visited & photographed 5 on this exploration. And exploration is thirsty work. A quick run up to "The Outlets", Nah, not our thing. So time for drinks & eats.
Mulligan's Irish Pub & Restaurant is right on Rt "Historic" 7A in Manchester, VT.
The building is a bit worn, but it's comfortable like a well worn pair of blue jeans. No pretensions here. Note: no reservations.
Big bar & very roomy for dining. Full house for a Tuesday - regulars & visitors (note: exceptional fall foliage brings lotsa of tourists to this area).
Let's get to the good stuff. Found seats at the bar. Friendly bartender, Scott R took our drink order & brought menus. Lot to choose from the full service bar - 12 Indie draft beers, 15 "Brews in the Tin" (cans), 15 bottled beers, hard seltzers, wine, etc. Something for every taste. I had a local favorite Switchback ale ($8) & my co-pilot had a pinot grigio ($10.25).
My lunch was a Really Great Burger ($16) 8 oz w/ cheese, LTO, FFs. She ahs a small Caesar salad w/ chix ($18) - not small at all. Good value for lunch. One menu for lunch and dinner. Lotsa choices from apps to substanial entrees.
This place is popular with the locals all year round.
Plenty of parking. Hours: Every day 12pm-12am, kitchen 12pm-8pm.
Again a good first impression. Thank you to Scott R. & the rest of the staff at Mulligan's. We will be back.

Reasonably priced food turned out to be delicious! I had the best pork chop of my life (don't tell my Mom). My partner loved the Cottage pie. Highly recommend.

I have frequented Mulligans several times for many options.The food is delicious. The pricing fair. The staff doesn't bat an eye for special modifications.
I had scallops severed in a delightful spinach cream sauce. I suggested that it would be nice to add an option that the dish be served with a starch such as rice. The waitress immediately offered to change the already delivered fare to have it served over rice. I declined the offer she didn't insist, yet the next thing I knew, there was a plate of rice served at no extra charge sitting to be enjoyed with my already tasty scallop and spinach dish.

Kid-friendliness: The staff was super kind and inviting to my four year old grandson. Coloring pages and crayons offered. Kids menu offered. Beverages served in covered plastic cups. My grandson was made to feel that his dining experience was as important as the adults. The waitstaff inculded him in conversation kept him occupied. Service with plenty of smiles. They appear to treat children as a blessing like one of their own. The atmosphere, though that of an Irish sports bar for adults, is accommodating when visiting. Mulligans has many seating options you can be comfortable visiting for a drink and appetizer at the bar or for a full course family dining experience. No matter your age, the staff is welcoming and goes above and beyond to make your dining experience top-notch!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Mulligans today. We sat outside. The service was good and our waitress was friendly. My wife had, French onion soup and the cottage pie. A very large portion. I loved the smoked wings and bangers w/ mashed. Delicious.

Wheelchair accessibility: This establishment has up and down steps throughout, so no wheelchair accessibility, but on nice days like today the outdoor seating is perfect.

Went in for late lunch / early dinner on the first night of our vacation. No hostess at the door, waited 5 min to get noticed. Once seated, no waiter or server came to our table or took notice of us. Employees, including the lady who seated us walked past for 15 min and never even looked at our table. Very disappointed as there were more employees there than customers, no reason for such poor service

Absolutely the worst food I’ve ever had staying in Manchester. Passing off what they call steak is not even close to what it actually is The steak was so tough and unable to be cut. I ended up not eating the rest of my meal. would highly recommend anybody to choose a different restaurant than this one

My buddy and I asked the front desk at the Hampton Inn where was a good place to watch NFL Football on a Sunday. She said without hesitation Mulligans. The TV situation is terrible for watching football. We picked up an initial weird vibe going on with the bartender (Note I am a life-long bartender, I grew up in the restaurant business. I'm very flexible on service). This dude had a tude. Deliberately slow, confused about orders, drinks and just an unusual vibe for a bartender. Then at 5 pm a second bartender showed up who was polite, energetic and awesome, but what we soon figured out was the new guy truly was a new guy and the first guy was "training" him. First guy's tude got even more pronounced as he was annoyed at the trainee who was actually the superior bartender. Don't order the Applewood smoked wings, I repeat don't order the Applewood smoked wings, they are not smoked they are plain fried wings I read this in another review. I thought our order was a mistake but its just a dupe. Cottage pie was excellent and salad was good. We watched some of the late game at the Mexican restaurant at it was WAY better. WAY better, service, drinks, vibe, TV etc....
