Reviews of Thirsty Moose Taphouse Manchester (Restaurant)

melanie valley

I've only been here once. My brother has been here multiple times. I dont remember the drink I had, he had the house specialty cider. Both were delicious. The food was delicious. The serving was amazing. And the environment of the whole place was absolutely marvelous. Would definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again.

Gina Lemcke

Fun place for Football and beer! They have NFL ticket and label each tv with the games it will be showing. The service is great, and the buffalo chicken dip and wings are tasty.

Colleen Perry

Madison was a new server 1st day on floor and did terrific. Very attentive nice personality. Wish your location had same or more than Dover locarion since it was bigger

Caleb Hooker

Great selection of beers and beer level booze

Tom Appleton

Excellent variety of craft beers on tap, friendly service, and good bar food!

Janae Woodside

Had a great time here! Anna was our server and she is AMAZING!!! I got the steak tip mac and cheese and my sister got a grilled cheese with fried buffalo chicken and tomatoes! We got the fried pickles for an app and a couple drinks. Great time, great atmosphere, great service! Highly recommend!

Cade Blackburn

Our second time here and it was great. Busy as usual but it did not deter them from providing quality service. We came as a group of 24, stinky hockey players to boot. They seated us, took orders, and brought food out within an hour, maybe an hour and 15 minutes. Everyone got what they ordered and the bills were accurate too! The food was spot on too in case you were wondering.

Davira Kuy

Good food, okay service, very lively, especially when sports are playing on their TVs.

Ken Southard

Best Salmon sandwich I ever had.

Vi-jay Elibox

Great food and drinks

The mango habanero burger is great with a side of cider.

Robert Perry

Always great food. Great beer. Services a little slow

Caitlin Millette

Love the Moose! Great food (smoked wings are my favorite!), amazing beer selection! Love the atmosphere, staff is always great! Always a must when I come to town to visit!

Richard Andrew

Good food and good service.

Alex Doyon

Great food, great service, very loud

Eric Ressler Jr.

Had the Fire Starter wings. Good flavor for what they are. NOT HOT ENOUGH, for my taste. I'm a glutton for punishment. I like it HOT!!!

jordan goodwin

Really crowded and the staff seemed unequiped to deal with it. When we finally got seated and ordered, I'm usually diapleased if the 1st two things i try and order " they're out of for the night"

Brianna Ferri

Food was fantastic and so was the service. The place is loaded with tvs and has a great atmosphere

Brianna M

Recently moved to Manchester- it's our new go-to spot! We love the pretzel and chicken tenders are amazing. Good burgers + lots of options. Only downfall is that if you're not a beer drinker you have limited craft cocktails to pick from, but totally worth the atmosphere

that Guy

Sara was an awesome bar tender. Professional, friendly and best of the best!!!!!

Sunshine

This place was perfect. We finished a game at Granite State Escape, Speakeasy Room and we we're so fired up to talk about the game that we walked in to re-hash the excitement of our experience while enjoying some drinks and appetizers

Ashley Martel

Our fav watering hole!! Sarah and joe are the best!! Won't come in unless they are there!! Best bartenders around!!

Travis Baughn

Great place to meet up and hangout. Music is loud of that bothers you. Fun place to taste beers

Mark Edelman

Great place to grab a quick meal and a beer with friends. Great selection of beers. Just wish there were a few more vegetarian options on the menu. We were there during the middle of a football Sunday. The place was loud and lively with groans and cheers depending on the action on the many TV screens covering the walls. I am sure I will be back next time I am in town.

Tommy D

I love this place. The food, drink selection, and atmosphere is awesome and hope to go back again really soon.

Jeff Martineau

Here for the frozen four. Restaurant not prepared for the crowd but kitchen and servers did their best. Would come back.

Andy Roeper

Incredible selection of beers and some good eats too.

Danlvan Lonie

Great staff. Great selection of berrs. Cool place

Gail Berry

Food was excellent! Our party of 8 had not a single issue with the food. It was all delicious. The staff were kind and accomidating. I did find my cocktail was a bit weak for the price but it was ok. Great experience and convienent location on Elm.

David Signor

Great food and great selection of beers. Definitely try the meatball sliders they are to die for.

Christopher White

Huge tap selection, a bit too many IPAs but there's something for everyone. Burger s are really good. Fast friendly service...I'll be back!

Greg DePasse

Awesome beer selection, the food is great and the wait staff is awesome. Our waitress, Megan, was funny and attentive as were the other folks helping out. We had tomato bisque, tater tots, meatball sliders and pulled pork sliders, and fish tacos. All were delicious!

Jon K.

Good food, good servers, typical sports bar decor, and a decibel level that is about 120% higher than the norm. Average pub/ bar experience, the biggest complaint I tend to have is that of the noise, if your in this place when it’s any more than half full you need to basically scream to speak to the person next to you. And it isn’t the establishment, it’s the customers, and the diners, bars are normally a bit on the loud side but this takes the cake for a place that’s also a sit down pub.

Kenrick Fruzen

Great food. Went for lunch after a meeting down town and had a great experience. The staff was honest when we asked if we were ordering to much. Glad we took her recommendation because we wouldn't have been able to finish. I guess another trip back is called for. Also huge tap selection

Lisa Dunbar

Friendly staff and great service! Great selection of beer on tap and other drinks. Dog friendly with outdoor seating!! Good is very good. Try the Cajun parmesan tater tots! Amazing! Their fresh tuna was also very good. Definitely would come again.

Ronnie Calabrese

The food was very good and the service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend going to this establishment. Their beer list is quite extensive and very impressive. The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were several beers that I wanted to order but they were out of stock. That was the only negative part of dining and drinking at the Thirsty Moose Taphouse. Otherwise it was 5 stars all the way!

James

Best Nacho's in town great service love it

JC Presti

Great service! If you are looking for a local place to hang out before a show/game this is the place to go! Fun atmosphere good for large or small groups.

Calyce Swormstedt

Great experience! Biggest selection of alcohol around! Also great service

Jason Michaud

Yummy food at both locations.

James Kelley

Great selection of beers, the food is consistently excellent - particularly, but not exclusively, the salads - and they've got tons of tv's.

James Comrie

All I can say is YUM! Tons of beer and great food!

Chris Houghton

Normally we take my friend Dan to places but this time he took us. Dan said that this place was a second or third home to him. ( he couldn't quite remember ) he was so proud when he walked in with his friends. He wore his special bow tie and smiled the whole time we were there. The only friend that didnt show up with him was Willy. Dan ordered food and drinks for us. Thank you Dan for showing us a great place.

Ben Navarre

Wings and beer selection excellent. Was in town for graduation but was not our first stop. Glad Murphy’s Taphouse down the street treated us so disdainfully we went elsewhere. Worked out great.

LG Burker

Went to this establishment for the first time and had two servers help me throughout the course of my visit: Amber and Amanda. Both were phenomenal and the experience was terrific. They took care of me the entire time I was there and I was never waiting for service. Highly recommend it to anyone in Manchester looking for good pub food or drinks.

Matt Tomkinson

Joe is the best bartender. We love having him. They also have the best prime rib.

Johannes Krjukoff

Huge selection of beers. There is something for everyone at this place. They do have wine and cider as well. The food was great and came in pretty quickly after we've ordered. The downside was that the place was packed and it seemed as if there weren't enough staff to tend to the crowd of people, so we did have to wait a lot in between placing our orders.

Alexandra Pappas

I like this location but it’s smaller than Portsmouth. They have a great menu and beer list. It’s usually a go too when I go out with friends.

Jim Jedow

Great food, friendly staff. First time in and I definitely plan to return

Nicholas Mercier

Great food. Good salads and ponzu steak tips are awesome. Kid friendly also.

Michele Norris

Cute place. Our server was enthusiastic and energetic. The food was awful.

Annett Rowe

This was my first time Waitress was rude took hour to get 2 appetizers party of 4 sitting next to us received there meal's cashed out and left We we're still waiting. We ordered honey bbg wings and the Spinach Artichoke dip it tasted sour couldn't eat it !! I will never return again

Jessica Labulis

Great food and staff. Beer selection is always changing and so many to choose from.

Kelly Barry

Good food, great selection of beers and ciders. Service was good - place is a bit noisy when it filled up.

Charise Van Liew

Broad selection of craft beer but they were out of most of the ones I wanted to try.

jason duckless

My Rating: 3.6... It's just not as good as the original. No live music... The use of the space is poorly designed, and the food is inconsistent. So I can't rate this as good or say it's equal to its brothers.

Paul T

I was thinking of getting a side of nachos and a burger. This filled me up, the tri-colored nachos with pulled pork

Nick Morgan

Great food, great service, and plenty of fun times waiting! Theyve got a nice selection of drafts available, and their menu is chock-full of delicious options! [Try the meatloaf] And industry night is on sundays, cant argue with 50% off at the end of a perfect meal!

asheebash1

I've been here a couple times now, both of which during race events on Elm St. So the place is packed but the staff doesn't let the crowd stress them out. Food is good, service is great!

Lillian Sawyers

Prime rib dip sandwich..... yummy!!!

Drew LaPointe

Big fan of the Thirsty Moose. They have a great beer selection and a truly impressive number of beers on tap. The food is good, but fairly standard pub fare. A good, friendly, bar, but nothing exceptional.

Natasha Byers

Thirsty Moose is my favorite place to go to. Even though they got rid of their potato skins

Kris Wentworth

Good food but the drinks are weak

Matt Yacubeck

Great waitresses and wonderful beer and food

Jie Matthews

My family went for lunch after a show, because it was close by. Waited at least an hour to get our food. Cobb salad taste funky. Chicken tasted old. Buffalo chicken wrap tasted like our vinegar... super busy but food is bad.

jon grosshart

Excellent food and service

Danielle PROCTOR

Great Cobb salad!!

Michael Morrison

Huge beer menu, so if you're into that, definitely try this place. It is very busy at times though so expect waiting at peek hours. Pretty good place overall. Worth a try .

Sinceré Alise

I got some sort of tater tots that were different and good. Atmosphere was comfortable.

Jackie Stugart

Food is AMAZING! My husband and I will definitely go back. The waitress however, was not too accommodating or friendly. We brought our three year old and asked a simple request, something we have asked at most restaurants and was flat told no. We asked if the hot dog could not come too hot we said we don't care about the preparation, just so when it gets to the table my son could eat it without burning his mouth. She just said 'no'. I asked her to check in with the kitchen and again she said 'no, they are busy'. The waitress didn't really check in with us for the rest of the meal. No drink refills, no how is the food, etc. This was not enough to keep us away, but definitely some food for thought for those bringing kids.

Billy Foster

The hotel suggested the place. Overall, it’s good. Great environment. Food...it was good...nothing to write home to mom about. Service was lacking. But, if you’re in the area, I recommend you giving it a try...it’s worth it.

Hillary Bleau

Always quenches my thirst. Good prices and the appetizers are appetizing.

Rusty Lingenfelter

A nice spot. Had a great lunch. Food and service were good and prices were fair.

Josh Prestigiacomo

Love this place! Great food and always a good beer list on tap. They also have a good bottle selection of beers. They serve tots as a side if you want, and we all know tots are basically the best things ever. They have a kids menu as well so bring the whole family.

Carlos Tejeda

Good beer. Good food. Great atmosphere.

Brittany

Love this place! I visit regularly and bring friends! Lots of open table space and they have amazing deals every night!

ryan talavera

Always GREAT beer on tap. Staff is knowledgeable about the beer and always helpful, even on nights when it’s packed. Good food - love the moose rolls!!

*DD Heather *

Their all American food is delicious! My husband is a HUGE fan of chicken fingers and tenders and they have the ABSOLUTE BESST chicken tenders I myself have everr had! And some of their dipping sauces for them are very different but soo good! These chicken tenders are not just your average chicken tenders, they have this different type of breading and taste to them which makes them phenomenal! Some of their other dinner plates I have tried are also veryyy well put together and also delicious. The staff has always been friendly everytime I've walked in and it's always clean! Also, no matter howw busy it gets there, they seem to get through the wait times pretty quickly everytime we have eaten there inside. For the most part we get takeout there rather then going in to eat but either way, great food and service! 5 stars in my book =)

Philip Underwood

Great place to grab a beer or two. Our waitress was great. Appetizers looked fantastic but we were off for a later reservation. Definitely worth a stop!

Brit K

Great atmosphere, bartenders are all super friendly

jacob caron

Good selection of beers and very much a sports bar. Only issue was our server. She looked over at our table three times in the beginning and ignored us. She eventually got to our table after about a half hour.

Paul Hatch III

Good Amount of beers on tap and great Wings!

Stephen Denis

A great place for after work crowds or to watch a big game. High quality food for a great price. I love the prime rib dip with the cajun tater tots!

Frank Thibeault

First time we visited, food and service excellent. Selection of beers outstanding. The dish I definitely will be back for is the pulled pork chili.

Wayne Jacques

Very loud. Can't hear yourself think and forget about having a conversation. Food is common.

Dublin McGuiness

This is THE place for beer drinkers looking to chill. Excellent menu, very clean, and on point friendly service. I’m coming back tomorrow.

Samantha Clough

Good food. Okay atmosphere. Servive could have been a little better.

Health Enthusiast

Nice seating area for this all American place in downtown Manchester at a corner and interesting street corner with a view of the afternoon sun. No exciting mocktails here, but beers-a-plenty including a special moose brew. Food was good & parking was easy on a Sunday evening trip back from NH to Bosto n. Easy seating at 5pm

fred savino

EXCELLENT atmosphere. great sandwich

agripina elvie

I love the appetizers here and it's a lot of fun to go on trivia night with my friends. Always a great time with the gals.

Adam Lankford

Been twice. The manager is not a nice guy. Both my experience and staff told me unsolicited on a separate visit. The drinks were mediocre and the wait staff pretty terrible on my first visit. Food don't come out, flights were or of order and we barely got service. Poor guy admitted he was new and untrained. My recent visit was better, but still didn't deserve more than an average rating.

Madison Brown

I LOVE THE NACHOS. Get them with chili tho.

David Poirier

Good place to watch a game, have a few beers or drinks and have some very good food! They have an excellent selection of yummy dishes on their menu. Their meatloaf dinner is fabulous! Enjoy!

Matthew Martel

The Monday bar crew is the best. Joe and Sarah make sure that there is not much of a wait for anything. Excellent service. We will definitely be back.

Corey Robert

Excellent staff and service! (Joe , Sarah, Jordan) bartenders of which Iv had experiences with, were all fantastic! Awesome selection of beers ranging from local as well as across the US. Foods great, typically get the wings (firestarter) for the sauce, which if you can’t handle heat I don’t suggest! But if you do it’s right up your alley. Give the moose a try if you haven’t!

William Granfield

I've gone to this place about a dozen times since they opened. most everything on the menu is delicious, some unique items I've had are the moose rolls and their tater tots. how fat their burgers, chicken tenders, Ruben, and grilled chicken items. They're all very good and I really honestly haven't had a bad meal here. The service is always good, and the beer selection is unparalleled on elm Street. The TV setup is perfect for watching a game and the sound is always on loud where you can hear the announcers. Keep up the good work.

Liam Conole

Went for drinks and apps, drinks were good, apps were good, service was good...can't go wrong there...

Bill Asch

Fantastic beer selection... Tremendous actually. My burger was too notch too

Peter Burdett

always a pleasure to visit and find GREAT beers to try end your day here!

Victoria Manley

Don't go for lunch if you don't want to wait an hour to receive you food. Went with some co-workers for our lunch hour. It took the waitress almost 20 mins to acknowledge us. Between us we ordered a salad, fish tacos, and sliders. Took almost a full hour to receive our food. Waitress seemed surprised when we asked for to go boxes straight away. My salad lacked everything. I ordered a Southwest chopped salad with steak tips. Steaks tips were an extra $8/9 charge. I received 3 small steak nuggets. The salad was 95% lettuce. Very little tomato, toasted corn, or avocado. Next time I want to spend $25 on a salad I'll make it at home. This is not the first time I have been in during the work week and the wait was out of control. You would think they would staff better being in a busy location.

Andrew Smellie

Lovely place. Big old windows for people watching. Our server was great. Food was good, but we only got a starter and a beer. I asked the server for a recommendation for a beer and she nailed it. Decent prices for a downtown location. Would recommend.

Brian Best

You wouldn't think that a casual restaurant that serves mostly comfort food and craft beers could get 5 stars, but this is the place that does just that. Burgers and sandwiches were excellent! Great Oscar Blues Porter, artisanal Cucumber Basil Collins is delicious and refreshing. You have to try the cajun parmesan tater tots. Four of us enjoyed this immensely, and never felt rushed.

Dillan Murray

This place is absolutely fantastic! I love their beer selection!! SO MANY BEERS/WINE/MEAD!!! absolutely love it!!

Bruno Soares

DO NOT buy a burger there! I got the pulked pork burger and it was aweful. The burger patty was tiny and tasteless, and the pulled pork tasted like it had just come out from a can. I had it with the tatter tots and the ones from Dunkins are tastier. The worse part is... the tiny burger with the tater tots cost almost $20. Bad experience...

Sarah Woodman

Lots of vegetarian-friendly options and a HUGE selection of beer! Staff are great at giving recommendations when the options are overwhelming, and they have never steered me wrong. Thirsty Moose has become a go-to. Thank you!

Joanne Hood

Good bar bites...over chatty female bartender ( focused on Male customers)

Scott Tooley

Great atmosphere!! Delish food. Both bartenders we had we're awesome. Will definitely come back when in town

Tom Doyon

Everything was delicious and our waitress was great. So many beers on tap to choose from! U had the prime rib bomb wrap with a side salad. Awesome!

Eric M

Great food, friendly staff, and solid local beer selection.

Paul Kapchus

Great place!!! Incredible menu for a pub environment and one of the best collections of beer on tap and by can or bottle. Good collection of micro brewery beers. As someone in Manchester told me "you can't go wrong with the Thirsty Moose" and they were spot on.

John Lemay

Food is good. Place is very very loud but, if you sit towards the back its a little bit quieter.

John Nault

TOO SLOW. Good pulled pork sliders if you like dry pulled pork. Good thing they have waitresses that are trained in defusing dissatisfied customers.

Kelly Flanagan

Food is delicious and they have a very large selection of beer.

Matthew Rosswaag

Awesome beer selection. Something for everyone. The food is great too. I recommend the fish tacos

Dick Rosco

The tots are expensive but awesome. Oddly not one moose in the place..... A scam in my opinion.

Brandon Guillemette

This is absolutely my favorite bar in Manchester. Amazing beer, amazing staff. Everything is the best here.

Melissa Royer

Very loud but food is great

Ashley Scalise

Great wings and beer selection!!!

Heather Ruiz

Really great bar staff! Everyone was friendly and fast even though it was busy. Great selection on drinks and our bartender happily answered any questions we had about the various drinks. Can't wait to go back.

Chris Lambert

Joe was amazing!! Friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating at the bar. Great with the large amount of guests at the bar. Lots of beer on tap, great food. Highly recommended

Katherine Frink

Our waitress was excellent. Her knowledge of all the beer varieties and recommendations for food were very helpful. The house made veggie burger was delicious and my friend's salad was huge and fresh. Only gave 4 stars because of the noise. But will definitely go again- but maybe pick a table outside where it's not as loud.

Jean Pelotte

great food and good drinks. occasionally hard to hear the people youre with but thats the atmosphere.

Statam Boisvert

Good beer selection and great service. Decent bar food and good atmosphere. Occasionally the guys at the door can take themselves way too seriously. Remember your the customers first interaction with your establishment, so its of your best interest to be polite and personable. Other then that, they do what they do well.

Tyler Shoulders

We had a great experience. We went around 4, so it was before the dinner rush. We brought our dog and they provided her with a water bowl right away! The mango habanero burger was great and the sweet potatoes fries were bangin. Our waitress was very personable and always was refilling our waters!

Jason Lemieux

Great place to go to if you're ever in Manchester. All kinds of beer on tap, excellent food, great service. Prices are in the mid/higher end but it is worth it in every way. Been here a few times, never been disappointed.

NH Food Review

Great food, great service

Zach Foote

Went on a busy Saturday night of a holiday weekend with a party of eleven and no reservation. We knew it would be a long wait and were prepared to wait it out as we like the space and the large beer selection. However, Ryan, the manager, went above and beyond in getting us seated much faster than our originally quoted time and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and pleased with our service. What would have caused flat panic at other establishments instead became the reason for this 5-star review. Great job to the whole team!
