Food is sub par, at most. Management is absolutely horrible. The ambiance is fine but not worth the rest of the terrible experience. I have worked in restaurants, across all positions, and this is one of the shadiest businesses I have ever been to. read more

I've enjoyed their location in hampton and was really excited for the Manchester opening. I was so disappointed. Our server was sweet but could not answer simple questions regarding menu options. It wasn't busy but it took 55 minutes to get our food. The burgers were overcooked, the fries were cold. The next day I looked at the receipt and realized we were over charged. Went back to the restaurant, spoke with a manager who stated they would issue the credit back to my card...that was 6 weeks ago...still no credit. read more

Everything was amazing. Perfect location to see an act and the food and beer was great.

Excellent brunch! Love the music and vibe for Saturday or Sunday morning/lunch. Home fries are fantastic!

We went for the Parmalee concert tonight - great show! Wow, I couldn't be more unimpressed with the employees. Bouncers might be the most rude employees I've ever met. We tried to leave out the side door (mind you, we've never been to this place. We live 950 miles away). The bouncer then sassed us saying "These F***ing People. Go out the front door". Unbelievable treatment and red tape around ever decision the employees make. As a native Tennessean, I'm glad real country bars are nearby. read more

The drinks were good Jax the bartender was great friendly an fun to talk with. Looks like a fun place to go to have a good time was just checking it out but will be back. read more

Horrible service, rude staff. Came with an out of town group and was treated like we were not welcome from the moment we arrived. Bartender told our group we could order water only due to being seemingly "over-served" despite us all having come from a work event and clearly not intoxicated. Will be filing a complaint with the NH BBB. read more

What a fun pre-concert spot! Ended up at The Goat after a disastrous situation at a nearby restaurant. Planned to just grab drinks and eat at the venue, but after snagging a spot at the bartop we were able to order nachos from the bartender. Good nachos, good drinks. Not too pricey. read more

The GOAT has quickly become my new favorite spot. Friendly staff, killer drinks, and always good music. Best best burger deal on Monday and Tuesday Nights! Order the Smokeshow burger. You won't regret it. #TheGoatNH #603 #ManchVegas read more

The Goat - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Went here for drinks tonight and was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. My friend was refused entrance because she was "too drunk". She had one drink and was acting completely normal. And not even She is of asian descent and I believe that this is why she was not let in. He treated me normally and I am white. This is NOT how a business should be operated. I am a frequent customer and will NEVER return. This is so DISAPPOINTING AND EMBARRASSING. NO ONE GO HERE!!!!!! We also went to the next bar and they were extremely welcoming and treated us with respect as they should. read more

Food was amazing. Drinks Inconsistent. My friend and I ordered same specialty drink and they tasted completely different. read more

Love this place! Delicious food, great live music and fast service! Get the burger and fries if you want to have a good time. The patio is my happy place. read more

The cheesehead burger was super tasty! The fries had a great texture, crispy on the outside and buttery smooth inside. Hubby had the same burger but with poutine tater tots and he cleaned his plate! Great service today too, love our waitress who totally comped us for the food coming out a little slower than anticipated. Hubby enjoyed his smoky cider cocktail as well. One of the few places in Manchester NH I would come again! read more

Went for a late brunch with my friends and Ashley K didn't not disappoint! Food came out quick and was as good if not better than it usually is! Service was perfect and drinks were even better! Thank you we'll definitely be back for more! read more

We had a table of 8, 3 people got caesar salad and three others got the chicken caesar wrap special. Everyone agreed they did not taste like they had any caesar dressing. Wraps were dry and flavorless and the salads just looked like they had oil and vinegar. I would try something else there but was not impressed. read more

We went to eat and they are not permitted to serve alcohol due to getting a fine. So that sucked. They even handed us beer and cocktail menus before they told us. Food looked good but we ended up leaving. read more

After stopping by "The Goat" I can definitely see why the reviews are so low. No stars is more appropriate. I'm not sure why the would employee someone with A chip that size on his shoulder. A friend and I certainly weren't prepared to be verbally assaulted by the young man standing behind the bar. I'm not sure if he was even a bartender, I think he may have been a bar back. I'm not a local, so between the hour drive, high prices and the disrespectful employee that we encountered, I wouldn't recommend this place to someone I didn't even like. I'm 42 years old and I have never been "cut off" let alone told I was "cut off" without even an explanation why, only to be humiliated by one of their employees. To add insult to injury, literally, this "bar back" maybe and some one barely above the drinking age himself) The real kicker is i hardly drink to begin with and he ruined my bday celebration. We had been there a little over an hour and had one drink (an amaretto sour) and one shot. Then had been drinking water cause it was EXTREMELY hot inside. Only to be yelled at and told I was cut off. (While drinking ice water, and standing mere feet from a police officer). This kid proceed to yell at my friend and I, as if we had done something to personally offend him in some way. When my friend politely as him why, and while other bar patrons began questioning it too. He became enraged and started yelling saying "It's my prerogative whether to serve you or not and he didn't need a reason why".... At that point I simply said "You're absolutely right" and walked away. Other staff member and customers began questioning what had happened and why. I'm completely mortified, not to mention embarrassed as THE WHOLE BAR HEARD. I'm not even upset about the alcohol. I would've like to continue dancing and enjoying the night but we couldn't even get water without having to explain ourselves. So we left. I wish he had had a name tag on. Cause the other kids were nice. DON'T HAVE YOUR BIRTHDAY HERE IF YOU'D LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR NIGHT. THANK YOU GOAT MANCHESTER FOR RUINING MINE! AS FOR THE BAND "FIGHTING FRIDAY" THEY'RE GREAT AND THEY ALSO PLAY JUST OVER THE MA BORDER TOO! MUCH BETTER VENUE "THE BOATHOUSE" in Dracut, MA read more

Wow!!!! Amazing place to eat! Steve our waiter great guy. The bartender did his job putting alcohol in the drinks and not holding back. The food for mainly a burger joint / bbq amazing and I see on Wednesday they do 10 cents wings so we will be trying them because hey 10 cent wings why not. read more

We have been here twice this month for brunch on Sunday. The food is very good, not gourmet, but a solid brunch. They have a very nice selection with many options. I'm only giving it a 3 because of the length of time to get your food. During our first visit, the food was a little slow coming out. We just recently went before a show at the arena. This time it took over an hour to get our food. My advice, don't go if there are events happening in downtown Manchester. If you're interested in eating, just be prepared that the kitchen is a little slow. read more

Went for a Sunday brunch. 1 hour wait for a table (~11 am) and another 1:20 for food but there was also a SNHU graduation at the arena that morning so it probably added to the normal crowd. Really good overall, bacon was nice and thick, Bloody Mary was delicious. Brisket Benedict was excellent but I had these burnt home fries that really bummed me out. Maybe 1/3 of them were so burnt they were inedible. The rest of the food was good enough to keep it from being fewer stars. If I'm going to wait that long for food, burnt is not what I'd expect. read more

Went on a recent Friday evening with my wife as we've heard about their burgers being great and their location in Hampton. Large and loud with lots of background noise, and a young crowd vibe. Nice wide open setup with outdoor seating as well. I had Sam summer draft with a mushroom Swiss burger and she had a hillbilly Gatorade and a burger with pineapple and bbq sauce. Burgers were good, maybe not great, albeit with no pink as requested. Our sides of fresh cut fries and tumbleweeds (thin onion rings) both were lukewarm. We had another round and enjoyed Big tvs and a couple of pool tables. Would try again read more

Love the goat in Hampton Beach and in Portsmouth go there often try to go on a Saturday night I understand it was crowded with college students but I was alone they made me wait in line all alone first one in freezing weather I tried to tell them it's just me no one else. 15 people walked out they still wouldn't let me in yet they were letting all their friends in still made it making me wait in line in Frigid weather alone so just left! Will never go back there again. Which is too bad because I actually like the establishment and Hampton and Portsmourh but the Manchester one is obviously being Run poorly. Too bad because being older and not a college student I tip very well they would've appreciated my business but I'll never go there again read more

Typical bar food. The fried pickles were battered lightly, which I appreciated, but it was extremely salty. The wait for the entrees took forever. ONE HOUR. The burgers were grilled nicely. Medium rare as I requested. I had the one with avocado on it. I think the avocado was creamy enough and it didn't need all that mayo on the burger, to be honest. We also ordered a burger with bacon but it was seasoned very well. The pulled pork sandwich was good. Overall the food was 50/50, really depends on what you get. It's just the wait time for food was unacceptable. I wouldn't return because of that. read more

The food is really good. I got brisket nachos and it was my first time having brisket. I loved it!! Yea

Went in Saturday to grab a bite. I am a frequent client at the one in Hampton which has always been great atmosphere. Went in yesterday to Mancheter ans had the worst possible experience. Bartender( blond) had the biggest attitude It took her 10 minutes to come over as she was busy chatting with another bartender. Finally we placed a dunk order and I expressed that we were ready to place our food order. She barely made eye contact and with a snarl said she would be back... another 10-15 min go by. I had enough wasn't going to wait for girl with attitude ( for whatever reason) to continue to ignore us Left cash and left. Won't be back to Manchester anytime soon. Don't want to interrupt the staff with looking to get some service. read more

After waiting for several months for this place to open I was disappointed. Food prices are a bit high. Had planned on ordering some food but after seeing the girl sitting next to me at the bar take her tray of food and push it back towards the bartender I knew something wasn't right. I asked the girl what was wrong and asked her how her food was and she looked at me and said it was horrible and disgusting. I asked her what she ordered and she said a grilled cheese with pulled pork. How can you mess that up? She said it was the second time she ordered food there and couldn't eat it. Not sure she will go back there. After witnessing that we just stuck with having a drink. Got a basic Bloody Mary. Can't believe it is a dollar charge each for any extras. Most places give you olives and some veggies without charging for it. Drink wasn't bad celery could have been a bit fresher. Now comes the disgusting part. The women's restroom. It was plain filthy! It is quite apparent during their renovation of ManchVegas the bathrooms were not even touched. Most of the toilet paper dispensers were either broken laying on the floor, hanging barely on the stall wall or just no toilet paper roll in them. Even the handicap bathroom stall was like that. Truly pathetic. There was more toilet paper scraps on floor than in the dispensers. One stall was locked apparently out of order with Velcro tape all over it maybe there was an out of order sign on it when it was ManchVegas. There was another stall that you couldn't even lock, latch was broken. Not one stall had a purse hook on back of door. Are ladies supposed to put their handbags or coats on a filthy bathroom floor? Lastly the back of restroom entrance door was filthy. Maybe a little 409 might be needed. There is no excuse to not even make an attempt to fix some of these minor issues, why was the place even renovated? If your restrooms are in nasty condition what does that say about the bar? Especially with Covid still going on sanitation would be a good idea. Including a few pics to show restroom. read more

Awesome, updated spot with lots to do. Fun games to play like cornhole and pool. I went on a Thursday and they had Karaoke which was a blast. On Friday they had a Dj and the dance floor was open. The best part was that they had three bars in total. Two inside and one outside. This made it super easy and quick to get a drink! read more

I've been here twice, I don't understand why they leave pool tables right in front of the stage while bands are playing, it totally kills the dynamic. read more

We first got sat and it took 45 mins to have anyone come over and take a drink order. We had to go up to the hostess and ask if someone was going to come serve us. We then ordered breakfast (eggs and toast) and it took over an hour to come out and be served to us. Disappointed..... read more

I've been here multiple times. The service is always great and the food, amazing. I particularly love the nachos and the burgers are the best I've ever had. Top notch bar food, with a fun vibe. Live music every night! The quality here is just what Manchester needed. Five stars. read more

awful! manager and staff unprofessional food lacking taste drinks way overpriced and barely any alcohol should learn lessons how to treat people do not go here! read more

I went to the goat Thursday night for dinner. The two hosts at the front were so sweet. Our server greeted us right away to get our drinks and food order. The drinks were amazing and consistent throughout our meal. The food came out quickly and was picture perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be going back. read more

Despite all the bad reviews we tried this location. We've been in this location a few times now and have not been disappointed with the service, food and beers. The staff is super friendly. Bartenders are efficient. My only complaint is Wednesday line dancing night-- the instructor does so much talking and they stop the music-- then the music restarts really loud-- your ears has to adjust each time.. just dance and we will follow. Lol less talking, more dancing. Other than that I recommend it. They also have great specials on food/live music almost daily. Can't beat 10cent wings! read more

I really like this place - the best dance floor in town. But why is there always live music on the weekends? I wish they played more dancing music - everyone's just standing there looking awkward. I like the goat. I really do. but please play better music that I can dance and get drunk to. You guys rock. read more

WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER!! Place was empty. Waitress was clueless. Food took FOREVER...Order was entered incorrectly over charging us. Didn't get and itemized bill. DO NOT GO HERE. TERRIBLE!! Wish I could give NO STARS read more

Place is huge and everything a kewl bar/restaurant should be, our poor waitress .... Our food order was lost, she checked on us multiple times and brought us drinks when needed, it took an hour+ for our food to come out but when it did it was very good. They removed the food from the bill and it ended up being 90$ still, I left for $40 cash, I hope she had a better rest of her shift !! read more

The food was delicious and the staff was amazing!! It was absolutely worth the drive! Get the bucket of bacon AND ask for a bowl of cheese sauce for your burger! read more

Great food and drinks with TV's everywhere. I came for March Madness on a Thursday and the place was hopping. The live music was great and the dance floor was packed. The outdoor area opening soon looks great too. read more

horrible, horrible place no customer service whatsoever. I never got our food because the bartender was so rude outback. She accuse me of taking pictures of her staff vaping in the parking lot which by the way is not right, they accused me of raising my voice when I did not. i've never been to a place where they ask accuse me of something so beware when you go there don't pick up your phone. It looks like you're taking pictures of others because staff will gang up on you. Great customer service. as we all know, this place is in a very rough area with lots of drug activity so you know what I had every right to say something read more

I went to the Goat in Manchester and I really enjoyed the atmosphere! It's very versatile I went for brunch with my family and then later that night I came for back and had such a fun night out with my friends, the service was great and The staff was very friendly. 10 out of 10 would recommend. read more
