16 Best Cocktail Bars near Hooksett

“This is not a tapas restaurant. It’s a restaurant with a small menu, with a lot of appetizers and a few entrees, but if you’re looking for a tapas place in the traditional sense, this isn’t it.With that said, their small appetizer menu is pretty good. Four of us came in a Saturday night and got right in without a reservation. The decor is sort of “fancy rustic”. You seat yourself, so if you go, don’t stand at the stairs awkwardly waiting for someone to come like we did.We ordered a couple of martinis, and some of their appetizers. We tried the steak lettuce wraps, the spinach and feta empanadas, the bruschetta, Mac and cheese and a few more. Everything was really good, but the standouts for me were the bruschetta, the lettuce wraps and the French spring rolls. The Mac and cheese needed a sauce, and the fiesta dip needed a better proportion of chips to dip.Service was really good. I tried the blueberry lemonade and the lemon rosemary martinis. The blueberry martini did not have any muddled blueberries and was a little too sweet for me, but the rosemary martini was perfect.When all is said and done, I would definitely return.Kid-friendliness: This is not a place for childrenWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible“

“Cotton Sampler (martini flight) was great, as was our food (potstickers, calamari, grilled chicken with lemon butter, and jumbalya - all delicious!)...Staff was friendly and genuine. Clean bathrooms, nice ambience but not stuck up. nice place for a "come as you are" or dressed up occasion.“

“I wanted to share a wonderful experience that I had with Curry Leaf today. My husband and I first tried Curry Leaf about two months ago. We were impressed by the service, lovely atmosphere, and *delicious* food. We’ve come back for carry out as well as dine in. We are always greeted with a warm smile and the service is speedy. I feel like the staff remember us and go out of their way to make sure we have a nice experience. This evening, my husband and I came to Curry Leaf for a birthday dinner for my husband. Just after we were seated, I asked one of the staff members if there was a small cake that could be brought out after dinner. The staff member, with a warm smile said, ‘’We will bring out a birthday cake after your meal.’’ After a delicious dinner of Tikka Masala Lamb (very soft lamb) and Butter Chicken with lamb Naan and mango lassi, a beautiful ice cream CAKE came out. When I asked for a birthday cake, I meant like a slice of cake or a small dessert. Little did we expect an entire small ice cream cake. The staff played happy birthday on the TVs and came to our table and said, ‘’Happy birthday!’’ multiple times. We were blown away by the service and kindness. Thank you, Curry Leaf, for your dedication and exceptional dining experience.“

“Was recommended this place by the bartender at blue aqua. He walked down from blue aqua to introduce us to this restaurant and they're great staff. We wanted oysters, but they were sold out, but still end up getting some great food and amazing drinks. Their customer service was so good, I didn't even remember who exactly was my waiter. There had to be about three different people coming to the table to check on us. I love this establishment I will definitely be back.“

“I was thoroughly impressed with how our food tasted. We ordered wings to start and they were cooked perfectly and had that smoked flavor. I had brisket, mashed potatoes with gravy, and collard greens. My kids had the ribs, and pulled pork. No complaints, only happy bellies. And the cornbread is like no other! We will definitely be coming back. Our server was attentive and friendly.“

“Food excellentService excellentAtmosphere very loud in the dining room . The bar is a lot quieter but the people arming in to get a drink while they wait for a table, makes it uncomfortable to dine at the bar. Usually it's not a big deal , but passing martinis over your shoulder gets old and messy.“

“I'm not a fan of bread but my partner loves it, so here we are; that being said, my goodness Hop Knot is YUM. The pretzel texture is so chewy-soft like mochi but far from undercooked, still firm. Exactly what I craved to sink my teeth into.Thank you to Gerald/Jerry(? I'm so sorry) and Kenny for being so warm and welcoming. I had a great time devouring the VegHead pretzel pizza, and pretzel hotdog with a red ale, and for dessert Cinnamon Sugar pretzel. For dipping, Kenny recommended House Maple Cream, and wow it was so delicious! Subtly sweet and whipped!There was a curious "cheesecake" beer that really tasted creamy, reminded me of a cherry Danish pastry. Also, there are board games available at the front entrance! Very clean restrooms too! Favorited this spot to come again ?“

“Rarely give 5 stars. This is a little slice of the south smacked in downtown Manchester! Helluva menu. The alligator on the stick was a pleasant surprise. Served Andouille Sausage style with a creamy remoulade. Mike, our bartender/server was a damn pleasure. Shrimp and grits were perfect. The grits were neutral, coulda used some more cheese, all the flavor from this dish was in the perfectly cooked shrimp. This place is our new date night slot.“

“We ordered 12 oysters on the half-shell and the saffron mussels. So delicious! Highly recommend both! My dining companions ordered the scallops, which were cooked to perfection and came with fresh shrimp. I ordered a wedge salad with steak, and again, the steak was perfect. Expensive, but well worth it for a special occasion, which this dinner was. Next time I need to celebrate something, I'm heading to The Foundry.“

“What a cute and delicious place to have a patio dinner! The food was fabulous! We started with the spinach, goat cheese salad then had the chicken farfalle and beef shortrib risotto. The portions are very generous so be prepared to take some home!“

“First timer last night, couldn’t be happier with our whole experience. The aesthetic of the restaurant is super cool and comfortable. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The drinks were top tier. I could write a novel on how good the focaccia bread was. My wife and I both had the duck tacos and honestly should have got another order, delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone and will certainly not be long before I’m back again. Thank you to everyone at 815!!!“

“I had lunch and dinner here so far. I will continue to visit this place the food is amazing! You must try the Boas! Yummy! The noodles and ramen, awesome! The wait staff are super friendly, especially Ava. Drinks are so good, and the ginger tea is my favorite. Cute atmosphere. I highly recommend Buba Noodle Bar.“

“Dinner was delicious! My fiancé and I were visiting Concord to get our marriage license and we originally planned to eat somewhere else, but saw the 110 Grill and decided to give it a try. Food was so delicious and perfect for our little trip here. We had Janet and she was so communicative and friendly. I definitely recommend asking for her as your server!“

“I'm not sure why several people are saying the portions are small and expensive. They were pretty big and not crazy on the price. Yes add ons are extra, but given the base price the total really isn't off from where, say, fries are included. We got an entree, two 1/2 sized salads, an app, and add on curry fries,.Interesting food, I mean where else can you get fried Mexican cheess, curry fries, and Thai salad? That said it was a touch bland bit in spiciness and overall seasoning. Biggest problem for us was the wings app was not crispy and in fact not cooked through. They took them off the bill immediately as it was brought to their attention. Turns out we didn't miss them as we couldn't finish the rest of what we ordered“

“Coming from some who is only one year gluten free this is some of the best gluten free food I’ve had! They take great measures to make sure you are not accidentally given gluten including allergy markers and your food is served by the manager on duty. Our server was Corbin and he was so sweet, attentive, and it was some of the best service we’ve had in a while! Amazing entree, dessert, drink, and service. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Amazing gluten free precautions!“

“Tonight was Twin Lobster Night. My wife and I ordered 2 dinners. The lobsters were delicious. However, the service was horrible. We sat at the bar and we were attended by a blond bartender. She never came over to check on us. We needed napkins and refill on drinks and I wanted a cocktail but she never came over. We paid the bill and left. Great food, bad service.“
