Unique bars/lounges
This list of bars and lounges are the more curated places that offer a relaxing atmosphere and highly curated cocktails.
Manchester’s only speakeasy! Check out their Facebook page for the door code as when you arrive to this establishment they will ask for the code of the day, google the address before arriving as the entrance is very discreet and easily missed.
The food menu is very small, offering mostly tapas and appetizer sized dishes, they are more known for their cocktails and lounge atmosphere. So if you are starving I recommend grabbing a bite prior to arriving at one of the restaurants on elm street.

Cheddar and Rye offer over 300 different kinds of whiskeys, and they also have an extensive selection of tequilas and other liquors. Great place to grab a drink, I have to admit that I am not a fan of their food menu, it’s a small menu featuring mostly grilled cheeses, pizzas and other appetizers type dishes.

Breakfast and lunch items are served all day! One of the only places in the Manchester area that offers a great selection of gluten free and vegan alternatives. Awesome cocktails, try their Bloody Mary or mimosa flights! There is usually a very long line on weekends, so I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time.
