The food and service was amazing welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for groups or a date night.

A so so sports bar. I wasn't the biggest fan of this restaurant we came in for a game and there was Trivia blaring during the World Cup. No one was playing this trivia which seemed out of touch. The food was ok, Applebees status. My husband asked to come a second night to try the desert and that was worse than the first night. Restaurant was busy because of event at the SNHU arena and there was not enough staff. We really just wanted out. Also not sure if related to the restaurant but both my husband and my credit cards were stolen after we paid here. We both had to initiate disputes with our respective banks for fraudulent sales. Since we both paid here, he only used his here, I would say stolen info was taken here. I hope that's not true but check your accounts after paying here. read more

This place was awesome. We were hiking pretty late so needed a spot to have dinner and watch some college football, this looked like the perfect spot. And it was. We're not usually chain restaurant people, but we were happy to know it was a local chain. There were TV's everywhere which was perfect for our group. Service was great all night, our server checked on us a lot and made sure we were happy. She was also a sour drinker which was perfect for me because there were so many great ones to choose from, she built out the perfect flight for me. The food was great and tasted fresh, and the portions were huge. Overall, a great experience. It would definitely be our sports bar of choice if we lived locally. read more

Our first visit was very enjoyable. Our waiter was quite attentive and friendly, he was new and didn't know the menu 100%. But he definitely was incentive and friendly and how we were doing which we appreciate I'm not a beer drinker so I didn't have any of the beers. But it was Sunday night and there were multiple football games going. This is really a sports bar so when you come here if there's any sports on you're going to I'll be hearing them on the PA system We had the smashburger and the taphouse Burger vote for quite delicious. An actual nice surprise were the quality of the default season prize. Definitely recommend giving it a try, especially for burgers, we will definitely come back to try other menu items. Their menu seemed quite extensive so there is found to be something you'll like. read more

On our way to the bus depot in Manchester, we decided to get some lunch. The Thirsty Moose Taphouse was just a few blocks away. I got the wedge salad, and she got the BLT chop salad. There was hardly anyone there--maybe we missed the lunch rush. The service was okay, nothing memorable. The restaurant is large and can accommodate groups. read more

Food: The food is overall average but overpriced, especially for the quality. They have some decent menu items like the pickles and peppers app, but many of their main meals leave a lot to be desired. The burgers are fine but not great, and I'd avoid the French dip. Service: Much like the food, the service is sometimes good and sometimes a joke. Sometimes they are personable and helpful, while other times they've delivered food to the wrong table, dropped someone's meal on the ground, or generally forgot they had a table at all. Ambience: They have a big space with tables that are spread apart enough to be comfortable. It can get loud and difficult to hear. The main draw of this place is the convenient location, and the multitude of screens to watch a game on. read more

Had dinner at Thirsty Moose Taphouse in Manchester with 2 other adults and 3 kids. The restaurant is very large with table seating, a large bar and outdoor seating, as well. We were very comfortable sitting at a table by the window overlooking Merrimack Street and Veteran's Memorial Park. There is an extensive draft beer list in addition to a full bar. My daughter and I shared a Carnitas Quesadilla and Fried Brussel Sprouts. Both were very good. My SIL had the Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wrap-I heard no complaints. The kids had a Bavarian Pretzel which was delicious, kids Fingers & Fries-also delicious and Cheeseburger Sliders from the regular menu. I didn't taste them, but they quickly disappeared. We had excellent service from Brielle G who was friendly and attentive. Conveniently located on Elm Street with street parking. Would not hesitate to return. read more

Great service. We were unsure of what beer to order and our bartender, who was very nice btw, allowed us to sample a few beers. Didnt have the food so cant rate that . But the ambiance, music, and beer options were amazing read more

All in all, not a bad sports bar. Nice layout with a TON of TV's (great choice for a game), a draft list that I have to assume is the longest in the area by a wide margin. The bartenders were also very nice and attentive. They are also notably open on Mondays, while most places aren't. Beer pricing seemed elevated. I'd probably just hit up a brewery next time, or perhaps one of the nearby places for a craft cocktail (there are some good options). My side salad was actually quite good. Fresh ingredients, nice balsamic dressing. The buffalo chicken wrap came out too fast and was dry, as such I have a strong suspicion it was precooked chicken that was simply reheated. Flavor wasn't bad though. Wouldn't get that again. The drink menu is in irritatingly small font for how dim the lighting is. Was squinting all night. read more

Good beer and food selections. Staff are slow coming to your table even when not that busy. It's a large place and got busier which slowed service even more. We'd return if it was convenient. read more

We really liked the Thirsty Moose. My hangover burger was very well done. It was good quality meat. The naughty tots were amazing. Those alone were worth the visit. The seasoning of the tots were spot on, and the queso was delicious. My wife said her carnita tacos were very good, as well as my daughter's fish tacos. My son in-law also enjoyed the seasonal dark ale. The service was great, and the normal, somewhat industrial vibe of the brew pub was nice. read more

Extensive selection. Had a haddock sandwich, poutine fries, Caesar side salad. Nothing bad, nothing great. Sat at the bar for lunch. Bartender, Michelle (Michelio) was very good and an excellent conversationalist. read more

Disorganized drinking hole. TVs with pixelized displays and others with old hues like a 1970s tube. Three different bartenders brought stuff. Whom do I tip? Some gray-hair Nirvana karaoke singer lookalike came serving a burnt chicken nacho platter, asking if it was mine. Um, nope. Moose needs to bartend consistently. Don't bait and switch. Talk to customers! Review: 2 read more

Came here before a fisher cats game with a group of 7 on a Saturday night. There was plenty of seating inside. It wasn't busy at all. Our waitress checked on us multiple times asking if we needed anything else. They have a pretty cool menu! Although I did not order food, they have a robust menu with plenty of options. Aside from beer, they make some mean cocktails! Their cold brew martini was awesome! I'd come here again! read more

We went in on a busy Saturday night to watch a Celtics game. The two bartenders working were on point. They were magicians in keeping everyone's pint full. The pure selection of beer was outstanding. I highly recommend. read more

Huge beer selection of low/mid range ABV with a good blend of local and local-ish selections. Great alternative to big city chains like "ya*d house" -- Really nice to see a beer menu containing more than just the overplayed hop forward IPAs and actually see some balance to the menu. Did not try food. Music was loyd but a nice classic rock vibe. read more

Went there for lunch by myself while serving jury duty. Even though it was a week day and after lunch hours (I got there around 12:45 pm), the place was not that busy for a downtown restaurant. The waitress was attentive when needed and refilled my soda many times without me asking, so that was a plus. However, I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with a slice of cheddar without red onions or pickles but were on the sandwich anyway, so I had to pull them off. It also came a slice of pickle - why? I ordered cole slaw on the side since the sandwich didn't come with it? Like, what? The cole slaw was bland, had no other veggies except cabbage, and by the time I got it, was lukewarm, also rather bland, but edible. I also got a slice of chocolate moose cake for dessert that was wonderful, one of the best pieces of cake I've ever had - until I got home a couple of hours later and puked the whole meal up. Won't be going back after that. read more

Stopped at the Thirsty Moose Taphouse for lunch and we were seated right away. This is a great place for gluten free people because they have a separate gluten free menu with a variety of options. My friend order the pulled pork sandwich and said it was delicious. I ordered the Buffalo chicken Caesar wrap and it was good. The Thirsty Moose has a good bar vibe with over 100 beers on tap. read more

Overpriced and underwhelming. And the steak tips I asked to be medium rare came out medium well or well - no pink at all. Cocktails were good, service is friendly, but that steak was a shame. read more

Ok we were a little late getting into town and were starving. The Thirsty Moose Taphouse was right across the street from our hotel. We were a little reluctant to give it a try based on some of the reviews but it was cold and the place was close so we gave it a shot. Can't tell you how happy we are that we did! From the moment we walked in the hostess was friendly and accommodating. We were quickly seated and ordered our drinks and appetizers which were quickly delivered to our table. I can tell you our drinks were not skimpy, the bar tender has a heavy pour and I'm not complaining! We had one of the pretzels for an appetizer and the thing almost filled us up for dinner! Both of us ordered burgers which were outstanding but the fries were perfect, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. This place reminds me of a local bar with heavy wood accents and just the right touch of things hanging on the wall. Also there are a number of large TV all over the place, great spot to watch the game. Can't leave this review without mentioning our server Nicola who did a great job keeping the drinks coming and making secure we didn't need anything else. Do yourself a favor and give The Thirsty Moose Taphouse a try next time you are in Manchester NH. read more

Great atmosphere, attentive staff and an excellent selection of food and beer options. Highly recommend!

We came here on a Thursday night with a party of about 27 people. The service was amazing, especially for the large group. I appreciated how willing they were to do separate checks without any issue. The drinks and food came all out in a timely manner. I have been at places where it takes forever with a large group and this place was so great! The food was good overall, but a little on the pricier side in my opinion. I ordered the Bavarian pretzel and the cheese was SO good. I ordered the steak bomb sub with sweet potatoes fries and was really satisfied. read more

Food - pretty good Service - pretty darned good Ambiance? I am so opposed to what is going on here that I can't give it better than a 2. I don't know who is in charge of the music, but that person should be disciplined. At no point in time is a TAP ROOM SPORTS BAR supposed to be blasting techno dance music. It's like playing hip hop at a bluegrass festival. Multiple games on multiple screens, a clientele that screams classic rock, contemporary pop, or even country music, but this mistake of a manager is cranking techno? It may seem like it's not a big deal, but this is both ignorant and stupid. There's NO DANCE FLOOR, HELLO!!!! I like this music in the right environment, but I can't imagine one farther from it. The level of my offense is commensurate with the severity of the idiocy. read more

Specified Celiac/Gluten Allergy and found a chicken finger piece in with my gluten free burger....

The general selection of beers is enough to make a grown man cry. I don't come to Manchester often, maybe a couple times a year but this place is everything I want from a Tap house. I'm not a IPA guy more of a Guinness or Coors guy but this place has bomb ass meads and Sours. Also their hangover burger absolutely slaps I get burgers w eggs on them regularly. Why is this place the first to know to put Hollandaise on that, I mean cmon now. Great spot to be if you find yourself in, next time I'm up in Manchester I'm coming right back! read more

Tried the place after some recommendations. Great food and close to the hotel. Friendly staff and good portion size for the price. Very loud for my taste so order was to go. Even when busy our order was done right and within reasonable wait time. Atmosphere of a fun bar with lots of TVs and drink selections if thats your thing. Again, loud but good food. read more

I have visited the thirsty moose a few times, and each time is an adequate meal and experience. The service is never exceptional, but they're a busy place. I was a little worried during my last visit - mid pandemic, as many patrons would walk around maskless after being seated. They reduced the amount of tables but the restaurant want still quit packed because people just go to the bar if there are no tables. The food is pretty good, mostly pub food and chicken tenders. My boyfriend really like the chicken fingers with all the sauce options. They have a handful of vegetarian options.. salads, Mediterranean wrap, hummus and tabouli, fried pickles. The menu changes a lot and the removed the waffle fries, which were great. Large beer selection. read more

I visited the Thirsty Moose for lunch and was quite pleased with my experience there. The place is located on a fairly busy corner, so parking was tricky. This a very much a sports pub kind of place with lots of regulars. There were several staff members waiting when we entered, and it seemed a little awkward as they decided which one of them were going to seat us. Once seated, the food was very good, and the service was excellent. The portions were large and the food was piping hot. read more

Food was fair to midland and ambiance ? There is none. The music is so loud you can't hair what the offerings are to go with your haddock sandwich so I just said fries. Want to have a conversation with your girl? You will be yelling to do it. It's. Ot a dance club with a live band so I don't understand the reason for the high volume- total turnoff. read more

Ordered food thru uber eats, restaurant sent the wrong order, 30 minutes later ordered the same thing after getting a refund from uber eats and the restaurant clearly didn't even remake it they just sent the old one they had originally made was cold when I got it even though it only took about 15 minutes to get delivered after I had ordered. read more
