    Viva la onion soup and Harvest Sangria.
    Christina H.

    What a unique and great find! From out of town and randomly came across this spot. Vibe, service, food and drinks are fantastic! Will was great with making drink and meal suggestions. I am a huge fan of French onion soup and this one was delightful. Live music added to the fun ambiance. Thanks Will and Backyard brewery for a wonderful evening!

    Farro Out

    I was in the area to drop a car off at the airport. I wanted a bite to eat and a drink so I scoped out the local breweries and found Backyard. The parking lot was full when I arrived and the restaurant was poppin' with almost every table and outdoor space full. I ended up sitting at the bar and was served fairly quickly. I got the Farro Out burger (farro burger with fig jam, Brussels, and goat cheese) and a side of fries. The dish is vegetarian and was good. I had a couple of beers which didn't knock my socks off for a microbrewery but they were decent. What made this place the most fun was that it was music bingo night. I was able to get in a couple of rounds before heading out to the airport. Overall, this place is fun and I would definitely return when I'm in the area.

    Kiddos took me here for Mother's Day and it was great! Plenty of parking and plenty of seats. They have tables inside and outside on their pretty large deck. We ate inside and got a booth looking into the brewery. Pretty neat! Our waitress Raleigh was sweet and very attentive and a great person to chat and joke with. She made our experience fun. Now the food!! WOW!! For appetizers we tried their Pretzel Tots and HobGoblin', both were excellent. My husband had their, A Heifer of a Sandwich and he said it was very good. My son got the Spicy Pepperoni Burrata and liked it and my daughter got their Drunken Mac n Cheese with Pulled pork and said it was really tasty. I had the Prime Rib with Mashed Potatoes and oh, yeah, very, very good!! Then we tried a few desserts and again very good. Would loved to have had all my kiddos there, but they are all grown now and it's life and things change. I wished they all stayed little, but I'm also very proud and happy for them. So, if you're ever in the Manchester, NH area and looking for some good food and great service, stop by, you'll be glad you did!!

    I've been to Backyard Brewery many times. Tonight, I had the Vermont burger which was really, really good and work not hesitate to get again. That's in the top of my rotation along with their flatbreads. Tried their new IPA, Gravity Always Wins. I think I'll stick with the Lazy Daze. We had very good service. Food came out promptly & hot. Waitress was very patient with the children. We'll be back.

    The Humble Wilbur pizza

    Backyard Brewery has a nice beer selection (I'm a fan of their dark brews) and ever-changing cocktail specials. For dinner, we had frickles, steak tips, and a pizza. The pizza was definitely the stand-out item and would fully recommend. The atmosphere is bright and open and can be quite lively yet the servers remain attentive. Wednesday nights are trivia nights. It would've been nice if they showed the trivia on one of the many many TVs so non-players could follow.

    Excellent Flatbread

    Still doing it right. Had a great lunch, good food, good service and comfortable environment. Small plates today, had the smoked meatball with shoestring onions. Followed by the onion soup & haddock soups- both quite good. Last but not least, the excellent beers! Lawnmower & monkey bars are out faves. Great place to hang out, deck is dog friendly. Inside is good for children/families.

    Vermont burger

    Came with friends on a Thursday night. We were seated in a booth rather the bar because we intended to eat dinner here. I think they had musical bingo going on at the bar? Our server was friendly and attentive, even letting us sample a couple beers before we made our decision. I sampled their PP&J Beer and though it was better than expected, I'm not a big PP&J fan and opted with a safer Pilsner option. For the food, I ordered the Notorious P.I.G. Tacos with a side of fries. While I really enjoyed the overall taste and flavors of the food, it was unfortunately served to me cold. I did not bring this up to the waitress, as I was very hungry in this moment and we waited awhile for our meals. My boyfriend got the Alabama Fried Chicken sandwich, I was fortunate enough to be allowed a taste of it and I really enjoyed the seasoning of the fried chicken. Others in our party got the It's Chicky chicken sandwich and the Vermont Cheddar Burger both looked like solid choices. All in all this place had a cool atmosphere with friendly staff. You can see the brewery behand a glass wall, it seems they have ample outdoor seating for when the weather is nicer which I would like to come back again.

    Happy that they offered half pours of their brews. I'm glad we got there before the crowd picked up because it got crowded. Food was tasty as well. Bacon on my sandwich was super good!

    Brussells sprouts appetizer
    Brienne C.

    What a great place for a relaxed night out. The patio was crowded when we got there with lots of pups under the table, so they're dog friendly for those of you wondering. We opted for inside seats so we didn't have to wait. There was a lively crowd inside with live music too. Great atmosphere. Red Sox game was on multiple TVs shown throughout the floor. Our server was prompt and drinks and food served quickly. No complaints there. We got the brussels sprouts appetizer and I got fish and chips, he got a burger. Both good! I will def come back and try and to get a patio seat next time.

    awesome food! Great service! a fun place to hang out and watch the big game with friends

    a heifer of a sandwich (steak sandwich)
    Lynn P.

    I like that you can order 2oz pours of beer, it enabled me to try a few different kinds. We ordered the prime rib, a Caesar salad, a steak sandwich, and a cheeseburger. The prime rib was cooked well and was tasty. The steak sandwich was minuscule, definitely not worth $18.

I also believe they have cocktails in a can, too, in case someone is coming with you that doesn't like beer. The inside is small and cozy, filled with high top tables and cool art, and tons of plants to gaze at. Bartenders are cool and helpful with suggestions. I've been a few times without eating but recently tried a smash burger from a recommendation. It was very good, the fries even better! It's always nice when a small brewing company serves filling food. The burger was smashed thin with two patties. It had ketchup/mustard/lettuce/onion/pickle. The fries were the semi crispy kind, love those! I would come back just for the burger and fries. The beers are always good and on rotation, no complaint there. Come when the weather is nice! It's small inside but they also have a small patio in the back. They often have live music back there on weekends too. Can't wait till it gets warm again to enjoy that.

It's just as nice to stop in on a less busy day too as the staff is very friendly and love chatting about the different styles of beer they have. Often the owners of the brewery are right at the bar. A quick chat or even a more in-depth discussion with them will quickly show you how passionate they are about their craft. My friend and I both brew our own beer and they're always asking us about our own recent brews, sharing ideas and giving feedback. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, so even on busy days it doesn't feel cramped. They have live music weekly (Saturdays), board games for the family (as well as board game nights) and plenty of delicious snacks for if you get hungry during your beer sampling. My absolute favorite brew from them is the Tragically Hopped double IPA (available seasonally in mid-summer) Black Bear stout (often available in the winter) and their self-named Great North IPA, which is a delicious West Coast-styled IPA that's just as good drinking on its own as it is with a sandwich (or burger and fries if you see it on tap at a local pub).

It's a large enough space--can accommodate groups. I liked the décor--they have games you can play and a chalkboard where you can write on. I liked that they used wooden barrels as tables. We decided to try a flight (4 drinks) and the snack flight. For the flight, we got two of the For Heck Yeah, one of the Welcome to Manchester, and one of the Gold Civic. My favorite was the For Heck Yeah. You can even get it with lemonade for a shandy. That was really good. The service was good, very helpful. When we were getting ready to leave, the employee asked if I wanted to get any of the beer to go (they had four packs of the 16 oz cans. I liked the For Heck Yeah so much that I decided to take a four-pack. We weren't hungry but wanted something to munch on, so we got the snack flight (pretzels, popcorn, M&Ms, and a choice of spicy or sweet. We decided to get animal crackers. I also should mention that they have feminine hygiene products in the bathroom--you get an extra star just for that alone. I'm so glad that I got to try out To Share. I highly recommend it, and if I'm in the area, I would go back.
