I could really get into this place if only.....Inside is nice and you'd never know from the outside. Server was attentive and friendly. The food was just okay, but seems to have potential with a few tweaks. Gorgonzola cheese was somehow replaced with blue cheese?? Hamburger bun should be grilled maybe? There was lots of bacon on the burger. Sliders were good but need toppings suited to the meat. Pasta salad was a nice touch actually. Tasty fries but arrived cold. We sat at 545PM, ordered at 6PM and received food at 640P. We gobbled it down in time for a 7PM show at SNHU. Not sure what the wait was about. Coke products!! read more

Came here because the wait at the restaurant we were intending to go to was long. Seat yourself place. Very loud music. Waited for a table to be clean, and it was 15 minutes before someone came to take a drink order. To be fair, the waitstaff was running, clearly busy. We each got a cocktail. My husband's spicy pineapple marg was good. My strawberry spritzer was bitter and flavorless. The short rib nachos were amazing. So flavorful and a great combination of ingredients. Slider trio was just okay per my husband. I'm told the pulled pork had a strange sweet flavor. My burger was incredibly disappointing, it was not seasoned...at all. Spear pickle on the side, ended up stealing my husband's chip pickles to flavor my burger. There was not enough ketchup to help. Ate half and could not stomach it. Overall, not a great experience, read more

City Hall Pub - Short Asian Shortrib Nachos - Pubs Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I stopped in at City Hall Pub (former Cheddar & Rye) on Hanover Street in Downtown Manchester recently on a quiet weeknight. The place wasn't too busy. This pub has a full service bar with seating offering 12 beers on tap and cocktails and mixed drinks. The food menu offers burgers, sandwiches, paninis, pretzels, soups, chili, salads, bruschetta,band spinach & queso dip. They offer Happy Hour specials 4-7pm on Mon-Fri. There are 2 TVs at the bar and 2 more TVs in the seating area with booths and tables. Classic rock was playing over the speakers.  I sat up at the bar to watch the Celtics game on TV. I ordered the Pulled Pork Burger ($15 plus tax) with a side of pasta salad. The burger came out in about 15 minutes after placing my order.  The thick burger was served open face and had a firm grilled ground beef patty to my liking with melted orange cheddar cheese, thick bacon strips, soft BBQ pulled pork, on a toasted onion roll, pickle chips on the side. The chilled pasta salad had soft pasta with carrots, red onions, red peppers in a zesty Italian dressing base.  As I was eating, the other patrons were chatting with the bartender about the kinds of liquor stocked at the bar including the scotch and whiskeys served here. I was here for the food strictly.  After I was done, I requested the check which was $16.28 with tax and before tip. Overall, the pulled pork burger was good and filling to eat with the pasta salad. I would probably get the City Hall Burger on a pretzel bun with cole slaw on the side on my next visit. The patron next to me ordered it, which looked great. The bartender was attentive and the food came out in acceptable time. read more

Stopped in before a show at The Palace. What a treat! We didn't order food, but we got hot chocolates for the kids, a dirty chai latte, and an Irish coffee. The drinks were incredible. Excellent baristas, super friendly staff. I wish we had discovered this place sooner. We will definitely be back, my new favorite spot for hot drinks and a bar in Manchester! read more

Called at 10:35pm when business says it closes at 12 midnight. Asked if they were serving food and guy was really rude and said they were closed. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Ordered in from City Hall Pub - burger and fries. Really yummy burger that was so filling, I will have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The fries were exceptionally good and crisp which is surprising because the condensation usually makes even good fries soggy in takeout containers. read more

The level of service is what made me vote 5 stars. The food is more like 4 stars, but still very, very good. On a Saturday afternoon around 4:30pm, we were told we could seat ourselves. There were 4 bartenders running the entire restaurant. We had a great experience with a gentleman who had just moved here from Tampa, FL (originally from Brooklyn, NY). I can't remember if he said his name was Oscar? Either way, he was super chill & came around often to check on us. We were waiting for a party of 4 & he was sure to bring us all waters. I had the Thai Soy Chicken Wrap with the cucumber salad. I liked that they offered healthier sides instead of defaulting to fries or chips. The wrap was okay; could have had a juicier piece of chicken in my opinion. My husband had the City Hall Pub Burger & was able to easily substitute the pretzel bun for sourdough bread. Our friend had the Bruschetta app as a meal, which was well-presented & tasty. I would LOVE to return & order a burger. The mixed cocktails are average prices of $11-$13. The Blueberry Lemon Drop martini is tasty & sweet. Note that the bathrooms are single toilets only, no stalls. read more

Had a great time here with my party of 6! The espresso martinis were amazing, we got some with baileys and some regular, both great! I was impressed by the flavor and size of the nachos. We also got the hummus plate that was delicious! The appetizers were enough to split between the 6 of us. The service was prompt and friendly. I will definitely be coming back! read more

A 5 star burger! I'm not quite sure why it's so good. Pretzel bun, thick patty, tomato lettuce cheese, excellent flavor combo. Add friendly service, full service bar, lots of other menu items - yes, this place deserves a visit. Great for lunch or after work. I've been a few times, and I keep going back for the burger! read more

Read the reviews and thought perfect for me. Sadly I was disappointed. I got a burger which seemed to be to be a pre pressed patty without a lot of flavor or juice. Made me think it was a standard food service burger, pre-made, pressed out of liquid and probably kept frozen. The chili was equally unimpressive. The staff was really nice however, and the clientele was interesting. Sorry, not a place I can recommend read more

We immediately enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe. Got our drink and ordered an appetizer, which was very good and delivered timely. After we ordered our meal, we waited an hour for our food. Underwhelming. The Gorgonzola burger was served with blue cheese instead - to someone who dislikes blue cheese. The veggie wrap was so dry it was inedible. Overall, the problems outweighed our good initial impression. We won't be back. read more

Drinks were great. Food was pretty solid. Our waitress was great...in spite of being a Tar Heel fan.

Great service and the staff is super friendly. We've been in Manchester for almost 3 years now and tried for the first time last week. Pleasantly surprised. Love the ambiance which is very laid back. Food was good too. read more

Old fashion is great. Yet to have food I wouldn't recommend. Always the go to when there is an event at the palace.

Was not open as it stated. I tried at 1:30p and I was told that they would not open until 3p.

Good food great service. Amazing ambience. I ordered the sliders and they were delicious. The meatballs were good too

This is my new favorite date spot with my husband. The service is amazing, the food and new menu is on point and the staff is so friendly at all time. Each time we've been in we have awesome conversations as we are bar sitters and it's a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Great service, Cool spot, and great food. Will definitely be visiting again. Place is a hidden gem.

When the bartenders don't know what a single malt scotch is, or a blended scotch, you know you are in the wrong place. The food was OK at best, but the lack of knowledge of the staff in general was disheartening. read more

Had the burger and it was done to perfection, pretzel bun was a nice touch. My daughter had the ham panini and loved every bite. The Gorgonzola garlic bread was excellent. The service was probably the best part. Thanks Oscar. Will be back read more

I've lived in Manchester for 30 years, and I've never been so impressed or felt more welcome than I did here. Being a blue collar guy who makes decent money working 60 hours a week it's hard to find a place that feels down to earth but also not so annoying by the 20 somethings who just want to get drunk. Think a nice whisky bar with good eats and salt of the earth clientele. Down to earth, and the wood highlights makes this place ideal for watching a game or just having a relaxed night out from the kids. I had no idea this place existed, which is crazy because I live on Elm. I was out to dinner with a friend and happened to drive by looking for a laid back place to have a nightcap. This place exceeded all expectations. I've honestly never had a smoother old fashioned, and that's high praise since I love Citizen Public House in Boston. If you pass this place up you are truly missing out on a hidden gem. read more
