Manchester Friday Night Drinks and Activities

Hi all,
In lieu of Friday Night Drinks in Manchester on 5/29, will be doing Taco Thursday 5/28 and partaking in the Manchester Taco Tour! This is an annual event but we have never done it before. I plan to be at The Goat by 3 pm and suggest any one who wants to join us, meet us there by 4 pm and we can walk up to Elm Street together and gorge on some yummy tacos! If you want to meet up with us later, I will try to check the site messages periodically and give updates where we are. There will be several other groups there as well, Elm Street will blocked from Bridge Street to Granite Street, so plan your parking accordingly and expect it to be crowded. The deets are below but I will emphasize that you need cash for tacos so come prepared for that. Alcohol needs to be consumed at place of purchase so we will likely make a few stops at some of downtown establishments along the way. There will be a map and I will try to add that when it is available or you can get a physical one once there.

When: Thursday, May 28, 2026
Time: 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Where: Downtown Manchester, NH
What: 100+ restaurants are selling their signature tacos for $3 each!

Hi, June 12th, we’ll be returning to the fabulous Tiki Bar at KC’s Rib Shack. One of my favorite spots in the city. Excellent selection of ribs, brisket, wings, sandwiches and great apps and a full bar. They also have something called salads. sp? not familiar but I’ve heard they’re good for you! I haven’t checked the schedule but KC’s often has live music on weekends.

We’ll have a slightly smaller than normal attendance (15) so please don’t sign up if you cannot attend. We will grab a few small tables and mingle about. We will need a couple people to show up a little earlier than 5:30 to grab some seats. I’ll post more deets as we get closer.

If the weather is iffy, I’ll work on contingency plans but so far, we’ve had good luck. Parking: KC’s lot can get a little tight on a Friday. There are plenty of spots in the adjoining plaza (with Puerto Vallarta).

Hi, this is in addition to our regular bi weekly Friday Night meetup.

Londonderry hosts live music at the Town Commons every Wednesday during the summer. They host great bands, have food trucks, a popcorn stand and they make it a nice family friendly event. It’s right off Mammoth Road just south of the high school.

The band has yet to be announced but they did post this…. I think it will be someone pretty good.

“Our July 8th slot features an incredible talent with deep New England roots who has shared the stage with some of the biggest legends in music history. Due to a performance nearby, we have to keep their name a secret until June. Trust us—you won’t want to miss this one. Check back in June for the full announcement!”

Londonderry puts on a pretty good show. This is an Alcohol free event. not that there’s anything wrong with that! :). Bring a chair, blanket etc…

In the event of rain, I believe they move it to the school auditorium nearby.
