Stopped in for drinks and food on our trip back to Vermont, and glad we did! Lovely outdoor patio space with enough tables and chairs to supply a WWE pay-per-view. The hostesses were all smiles and quick to bring us to our seat. Busy, but no wait! The inside of this place is EXACTLY what you'd hope for: a taproom straight out of an HGTV show. The Property Brothers themselves couldn't have matched the barn-wood and metal rustic charm of this spot. My first sip of the milk stout was silky, smooth, and loaded with coffee flavor; VERY drinkable at 5.3% ABV and a fraction of the price of anything at your local Starbucks (I'd have to have a BAC of at least .08 to navigate a Starbucks, for the record). The sweet flavor of the lemonade-inspired sour "Lemon Law" overtook the bitter taste left in my mouth from driving four hours to a canceled Counting Crows concert. Lightly carbonated and bright in color. Would recommend. Belgian Ale. Just yes. Sugary; malty; perfect color. The food was UNBELIEVABLE. Cheese Pretzel Tots... soft pretzel bites with mustard, beer cheese, chives, and so. much. bacon. Do it. I decked my "Burger With Benefits" out with cheddar, onion strings, Worcestershire mushrooms, and bacon. It should honestly be illegal to sell a burger without bacon if bacon is available. Serious demerit, but I corrected it folks. The meat was perfectly cooked AND with all the fixin's (plus spicy fries) still clocked in under $15. Make this stop a priority! read more

A few weeks ago I visited for the first time and already cannot wait to return next time I am in the area! Every employee I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuine. The bartender Kate absolutely rocked! She made me feel like an old friend/regular customer in a matter of minutes. She cared and made me feel like I belonged. We ended up having a wonderful chat where I discovered that she also does the art and signage seen around the restuarant! Impressive. I sampled a variety of beers and loved every single one- even was able to get a few canned to take home. I didn't eat but look forward to ordering off menu next time (everyone's food around me looked spectacular!) read more

Ugggh... such a disappointment once again. Service mediocre at best & food just awful. Huge disconnect between wait staff & kitchen -- causing 3 out of our 4 orders to come out incorrectly. Such a waste of money to go here for the overpriced mediocre food. Beers are somewhat decent, hence the 1 star. Service: Usually very slow. Waited for someone to take our order for about 15 minutes. Then - it took 40 minutes to get our food --- and we ordered 4 salads. Waiting for what? The lettuce to grow? Food: All 4 salads came with dressing on them. Normal, right? Nope. Not when 2 of the 4 were ordered with dressing on the side. The 3rd incorrect order was the condition of the (added) steak tips to my son's salad. He asked for medium rare and, well... see the attached picture and you decide. We've given you a really good try Backyard Brewery (about 4 times in a year & a half). We won't be returning. I mean, how do you mess up salads? read more

Backyard Brewery - RAW steak. Don't order medium rare... - Breweries Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Simply Great Food, Great Service, and Decent Prices in a Clean Attractive Atmosphere.

My friends and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the service, and the food at this bustling brewery. One thing we all couldn't stop raving about were the Brussels sprouts. They were fantastic!! I'm being honest when I say they were the best I've ever tried. So even if you don't think you like them, you might like them here! The server was incredibly friendly and attentive, and even encouraged us to try a few small samples of a couple of their brews. Normally I don't like sours but their beer was so sour that it went over the top and I actually found that I liked it. It reminded me of an alcoholic lemonade. Not bad! The other food we ordered was decent, my chowder seemed like it might have been on its way out but it was still good and I was really hungry and craving chowder so I ate all of it (and didn't get sick, haha!). I'd love to come back to this place next time we're in the area so we can try a few more of their menu items and their beer as well! Cheers! read more

Backyard Brewery - I actually really enjoyed this wedge salad. Looked like an iceberg, haha! And of course who doesn't love bacon - Breweries Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I like this place. 2nd time, traveling for business. Great beer, killer burger, nice atmosphere, and Wendy is a wonderful bartender :)

Bomb food. Amazing chicken Sangys and awesome burgers. Huge beer selection and great selection Fat Mikey Snacks Approved!!! read more

Such a great local spot. We ordered takeout recently and were given the wrong bag of food. Drove home to find a lot of items we would never order. We received a full refund and the woman who picked up the phone was very friendly and efficient. AND now we know the Mac n cheese is good here...bonus! There's usually a fun lively crowd (once crowds are allowed again) and good music. read more

Backyard Brewery was very disappointing and underwhelming. My husband and I weren't happy with any of our food or drinks. He had a flight and all three IPAs he got tasted the same/were tasteless. I got a mocktail and it tasted like cleaner. The smoked wings didn't even taste like the flavor (sriracha bbq) and were soggy, absolutely no crunch. My husband got the Heifer of a Sandwich and it was dry and pretty tasteless. Here's the worst part- I got a Burrata and Beet Salad with grilled chicken and it cost more than my husband's STEAK sandwich! Wild. Will not be returning. read more

After finishing the relay, my crew decided to just dine here. They were already kind enough to be starting and finish lines. I ordered the bbq ribs, which pretty good and came with fries and coleslaw. The interesting part is that whereas most restaurants would serve the ribs as is (unsliced and just set across the plate), Backyard stacked their's and added a little art (just a swirl or two) to spice up their presentation. I actually liked that, I didn't have to peel it apart myself and they had a little fun making saucing around. Also, our waitress was really cool! We ordered shots and to include our underage team member, gave him a shot of chocolate milk! Definitely need to come back here when I'm not easily buzzed by a 4.2% Lil Suzy. read more

Got seated at a table with my husband and took a look at the modest, but tantalizing menu while we waited for a server to come to the table. And waited. And waited. It is not exceptionally busy, and yet we waited over 10 minutes without anybody coming over to ask if we wanted drinks, or to know the specials... or had even been helped. I'm disappointed, because the sandwiches and pizzas look amazing. As I walked out to the lobby, two people standing around the counter chatting did wish me a good evening, so that's something? read more

Great food and service. Recommend larger groups reserve the tree house, just don't do it during Wednesday trivia because that's my spot.

Service, excellent, food delish. Mosquitos on the patio at sundown? FEROCIOUS. We had to literally flee for our lives and it disrupted our meal and awesome company. Please put mosquito posts and maybe light citronella. read more

Ok soooo, I always give a restaurant @ least 2 attempts before I pass judgement- 1st visit, I got the nashville chicken sandwich - wasn't awful but SUPER dry...like- i needed a drink refill 2 bites in my BF got a brisket sandwich which was ehh. Both orders- the fries were cold and soggy. Went again tonight, (both trips we sat @ bar) around 5:30pm- live music was setting up.. BIG ++ and ordered smoked wings - $15 and "prime rib/cheese/arugula egg rolls $11- wings were 6 tiny, SOGGY excuse for wings...egg rolls were legit - 1 egg roll cut in 2, filled with a dry burger...NO CHEESE. honestly- haven't had apps that bad in a while. (Mentioned to server...no comp) Only saving grace which warranted the 3* is the fun atmosphere, good music and friendly staff- just don't arrive hungry. read more

We literally come to Backyard every week! Food is great, drinks are great, and Wendy at the front bar is the best!

Wendy is the best bartender in the joint, food is amazing but mostly go to Vist wendy.

We did a tour of Manchester breweries and this was our last stop. We were full of beer but that didn't stop us from eating a late dinner at nine. Service was excellent, our waitress made sure we had everything we needed. Most of our party of eight had prime rib and it was juicy and delicious. The pretzel bites loaded were so much cheese and bacon my arteries were screaming but my belly and taste buds were in heaven. Such an awesome place. Highly recommend ! read more

Sit outside or in the bar. The actual dining area is dated and smells AWFUL. Like, I asked to move my seat because it was so bad. Once in the bar our experience was great! Lots of beer choices, cheap flights, and it's all made right in house (which is why I'm sure it smelled so bad, but really...it was bad. I couldn't imagine eating food in that stench.) We started with the brew-tine. It was pretty yummy. The fries were crispy and the gravy was good! I has the Thai pizza - the pork was very dry. The flavor was good. Husband had the bison burger and said it was the best burger ever. So even though this is a brewery apparently it's family friendly, I wasn't expecting that. This is great for families, not great for someone who wants a brewery experience. Overall, it's good, and you should try it atleast once! read more

Solid service, Excellent wings and Mexican corn dip along with an improved beer menu.

My husband and I are from the Midwest and moved to NH in 2021. Backyard was the first brewery we went to upon moving here, so it will always hold a special place in our hearts. It truly is the people who make it feel like home -- Dave, Drew, and Kerin to name a few -- and make it feel like you really are in your Backyard. Patio beers in the summer, Bingo nights during the week, our parents' first visits to us in our new home ... so many memories have been shared over a good pint here. We love the beer and we enjoy the food, but we come back for the experience and the people every time. Thank you for making this our "backyard". read more

Excellent food, beer and most of all service. Dave is great and knows his stuff. Bring one of these to Rochester,NH please.

Great food and service. Atmosphere was very appealing and fun place to hang out. We went with my daughter a couple times now and have no complaints. Definitely a go to spot. read more

Backyard Brewery - United we stand, Pint in hand! - Breweries Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Food was fine. The menu is not accurate. A side salad is a sneaky addition listed as 3 dollars, then charged at 5.5 with no listing on the menu. Not a financial significance, but a very slimy approach. Nickel and dime-ing customers should tell you everything one needs to know about a business. The food is not worth the visit to a place that has deceptive approaches on their menu pricing. read more

Amazing! Finding a place to eat with two energetic young boys is always a challenge. However, we stumbled upon Backyard Brewery and found the perfect place for us to eat and let out boys have fun playing cornhole while we waited for our delicious food. Jen and Kate were absolutely amazing! We ate at the cantina and had an incredible dinner. We'd come every week if we lived closer -- food and service is top notch! Try it out and I can guarantee that you'll be happy that you decided to choose to eat at Backyard Brewery. Prime rib is A+ and the nachoes are also amazing! Cheers! read more

Heard good things about the restaurant/ brewery. Took the wife and we had probably the best onion soup we ever eaten. ( I know I might said that about others, but this is real deal.) ribs were fantastic and my wife raved about the coleslaw. Fries were good, needed to be a little hotter when they came out. Wings were cooked good, fall off the bone. Very smoky tasting which took away from rub. Good but could be better. Wife had blueberry vodka lemonade which she liked. wife already talking about when we can go back. read more

This place is a treasure. We are still not comfortable going inside and asked if it were possible to have a little fire outside to enjoy a Valentine's day drink. They were more than happy to hook us up! I cannot wait until we can go inside and give them all my money. ;) read more

Backyard Brewery - Great flight, great people. - Breweries Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I love going here. The chicken wings are some of the best I've ever had. The beer is always fresh and made on site. The food is amazing, I usually get the steak tips or the fish and chips. I've never had a bad experience. My only recommendation would be to go early if you go on a Friday or Saturday as it gets busy and I've waited an hour for a table. They don't do reservations, it's first come first serve. But worth it if you want a nice dining experience with live music. The staff is very friendly and Markus and his team are amazing. If you get a chance check out the back room, which has a lot of the old decor from when it used to be the Yard restaurant, which was owned by the father and has a back in the day feel to it. read more

This place never fails to impress. Did the pho dip.superb! Nice broth to dip my tender roast beef sandwich in and I had home made chips as side. Appetizer was tortilla nachos. Too cheesy but tasty. It was Wednesday trivia night so place was packed but did not impact service at all. read more

We started out with the smothered pretzel "tots" and they were unbelievably delicious. We had the mustard on the side which I was happy about as I did not like it but my wife did. The beer cheese that soaked the bottom of the basked was delicious. For dinner I had a burger and fries and she had the drunk cobbler salad. Both were excellent! read more

Great place. Good burgers. Good prime rib - in fact it was awesome. Great beer selection. Our server, Keren, was great. She had great suggestions for food & our beer selection. She also had fun talking with us. She gave us a little history of the place as well. Definitely a good place to hang out. read more

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. Starting from the beginning, a friend tagged me on social media showing me a recent post from @backyardbrewerynh that showed their current special: Dill Pickle Pizza. Being the pickle aficionado that I am, I immediately commented saying that we needed to make plans to take the 1 hour trip (one way) to visit the restaurant. I DMd the person who runs the account to ask if they accept reservations to ensure we would be seated if we showed up and Marcus assured us that we would be seated and if there was a wait, we would be taken care of. SUPERB customer service before we even got to the restaurant. We arrived to the restaurant around 7:30pm on Friday, January 15 and were seated immediately. First impressions walking in were "Wow, this place has an amazing vibe." Walls are filled with incredible decor, the lighting and colors make it feel very intimate while also being in a friendly environment surrounded by others (socially distanced of course.) Once seated, we were immediately greeted by our server Maitlyn who was kind, attentive, and prompt. The four of us ordered a plethora of food beginning with the pickle pizza, fried pickles, and Buffalo chicken dip for appetizers. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. For our meals, we ordered "Cow Tipping" steak tips, the Burger with Benefits, Notorious PIG Tacos, and the Drunk Cobbler salad. When ordering the burger, I was most notably surprised when provided with the option to choose which pickles I wanted - sweet or dill. I have never been to a restaurant where this was an option and needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. All of the food came out promptly as we were finishing the appetizers and was delicious! Make sure you try the sriracha fries - the flavor and spice was perfect. In terms of the environment- was also very calming with the inclusion of a live musician playing. Sometimes when you go to restaurants, the live performances take away from the atmosphere by being too loud, too soft, or just plain bad. This was not the case as the artist was playing well and the music provided a nice background where we could still engage in conversation. Prior to receiving our bill, I asked to speak to a manager to provide some praise and spoke with Joe, who was extremely kind and very receptive to hearing the great review about our experience. This two hour round trip drive was WELL WORTH the time and gas. We will undoubtedly be visiting again soon and bringing some friends to try some of the ridiculously cheap (in price) beers that they serve. A big thank you to all of the staff who was very welcoming, appreciative, and kind. read more

Great food, awesome service, very cool spot. I was up in NH from FL and this place was recommended by a local. It did not disappoint. I had the smoked meatloaf and the hobgoblin cheese curds. The meatloaf was flavorful and a massive portion. It came on a bed of real mashed potatoes that were perfectly prepared. If I'm in the area I will visit this place again! read more

Enjoy a wide variety of things on the menu. Nice brews and a great wait staff. Loved hanging out on the patio. read more

My son and his wife are their very recently and got burgers and fries and beers. My son is the only one who ate all his burger. My daughter in law only ate a couple of bites. My son was up throwing up all night afterwards. I'm sure they'll never eat there again read more

Place was great , the service was great and super friendly. We wish we found it sooner.

I got the prime rib and it was great. Beer was cold. Service was neither great nor lacking despite the porch being somewhat crowded. Will definitely eat there again if I'm in Manchester. read more

I went here and the ribs are horrible barely any meat on them and over priced I will not be back
