What we’re about
Welcome to the Manchester Friday Night Drinks and Activities. Lori, Michelle and Dave will be the organizers. Typically, we meet every other Friday at a local Manchester area pub or restaurant. We may expand slightly to see a band, karaoke or trivia.
A couple rules: You must have a photo, be a member of other local meetup groups and also be roughly within an hour of the Manchester, NH area.
Lastly, this is a group to chill and relax on a Friday. It is not a dating group, please be self aware and respectful of others.

PSA: Live Comedy game show at the Shaskeen Tuesday Night Jan 20th!
The Shaskeen Pub and Restaurant, 909 Elm Street, Manchester, NH, USHi, This isn't an official Friday Night Meetup. but... because I’m in favor of keeping things lively in Manch Vegas, I’m cross posting it here… Lori A, who hosts a number of meetups locally has a friend who is hosting a comedy show with some young comedians at the Shaskeen on Elm. There will be some edgy humor and political incorrectness but if you ask me, that sounds an awful lot like a typical Tuesday Night at KC's Rib Shack or The Yee Dynasty, just sayin... ;)
It's listed in "Spontaneous fun in New England" and "Hiking, Kayaking and Social Activity" meetup groups. While, I'm listing it here, you'll need to sign up thru one of the below two groups... If you're not in those groups, you should join, they are both excellent. There is a cover $7.00, which is pretty reasonable. Support the arts in our fair city if you can!

Friday Night Drinks returns to The Ricochet: Pizza and Martinis!
The Ricochet, 35 Manchester Road, Derry, NH, USHi all, In February, we're going to return to one of my favorite local spots. The Ricochet in Derry! They serve thin crust stone fired pizza. They also have salads, subs, great apps and a full bar. It's conveniently located in the Derry Meadow's Plaza (just south of the Stumble Inn). This place has received high ratings from both The Phantom Gourmet and Dave Portnoy's Barstool Pizza reviews. (Links below). The small pizzas (pretty much any topping you want) are $18 but they are good sized and big enough to split between two people. The pizza is stellar. We'll be topping out at 16 spots but I'll recheck if they can take more.
Just an FYI: It’s in the far corner of the plaza with a simple “R" on the sign. (it's a couple doors to the right of La Caretta and Dollar Tree) don’t let that fool you, It’s classy. Think Pizza shop meets Martini bar. Bob Ross (the painter) videos play on all the TV's, along with a funky tribute to the Golden Girls and famed Wrestler Andre The Giant. Cool vibes, even better pizza. :)
