Nightclubs in Manchester

Strange Brew Tavern is Manchester's most beloved independent music venue — a downtown NH institution presenting outstanding live music and craft beer for New Hampshire's largest city. Manchester's remarkable transformation from a 19th-century textile mill city (it was once the largest mill city in the world) to a contemporary arts and technology hub creates a nightclub culture of genuine New England urban industrial heritage significance.

The Shaskeen is Manchester's most culturally rich live music pub — an Elm Street institution serving as the hub of Manchester's remarkable Irish-American community while presenting outstanding live music. Manchester's extraordinary Irish heritage (the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company hired tens of thousands of Irish immigrants in the 19th century) and The Shaskeen's genuine Irish community character create a nightclub of authentic New Hampshire Irish-American cultural significance.
