Drynk

Haven’t been in a while but stopped in for drinks and dinner after work Friday and had an awesome time! bartenders were totally attentive and made delish martinis. Not expected @ a bar/​club but the food was amazing! Def worth checking out if you want to get out after work for good food/​music and drinks :)

I went in to Drynk for the first time in a while, and I have to say while some things have stayed the same like the layout etc… What has changed is the staff and food… For the better! The bartenders were knowledgeable, friendly, and made some great «drynks»! They were setting up for the” club” portion of the night, but my friends and I wanted to sit and eat. The staff got right on it! Brought chairs to a table for us super quick! But we ended up just eating at the bar anyway. Lol. Now the food… What an upgrade! It was good before, but the new chef has revamped the menu and everything we ordered came out fast, and no one In my party had any complaints! Everything was great! Try the wings! Well done Drynk!

Went last night, first time with the full food menu. The food was really really great. Good pricing too. The bartenders were excellent, friendly, and timely and made some great drinks. And it still had music after dinner time as well.
This place hasn’t always had the best reputation but they are really turning it around and the food to start with is an excellent and nice change. Highly recommend going and checking it out

I had reserved a VIP table for the bachelorette party I was hosting. There were 4 of us. We got there around 9:30 and got introduced to our waitress who was very nice and very pretty! She got us drinks and socialized with us while the club was still slow. Around 10:30 — 11:00 is when people started pouring in. The music was very loud, which I love, and the strobe lights were going crazy. I thought it was a great time! The employees were very professional, not dancing with anyone just making the place functional. My only wish was the diversity of people there, which I know is not the clubs fault. They did a great job that night and I definitely will go back!

Do you like douchebags, loud music, underaged girls, overpriced drinks, skank planks and pushing your way through sweaty people? If you answered yes. You’ll love Drynk.
This place sucks and someone got MURDERED here. Here’s the link:
I’m an avid morning runner and I pass Drynk on my morning run. I recall running by the club the morning after the stabbing and I saw the victims family/​friends mourning in front of the club with flowers and candles. So sad to see a life lost over stupid, drunken, shit. That poor victim fell on the floor and his last sights in life were the ceiling of this crappy dance club. Awful, just awful, thing to think about.

Place blows. Bunch of guido wannabes who think they’re tough own the place and use dress code and over capacity to make u buy more

Anybody want a drynk? Don’t go to Drynk for a drynk. Drynk’s drynk’s are very overpriced and didn’t taste like the drynk I ordered. My drynk tasted like pee. In fact, maybe the bahtenda peed in my drynk. I’m gonna go have another drynk, but not at Drynk.

If you’re into Yeezy and Wacka, this place is probably for you. If you’re into murder, this place is definitely for you. A man was murdered here at 1:00am on 05/​09/​2015, and two other people were stabbed during the incident as well. I have a friend who thought this place was for her until last September, when an angry patron threw a bottle of Grey Goose and struck her in the back of the head. The bar failed to pay her medical bills and blew off the situation.
If you’re into a safe but still a great time with some good music, this place is probably not for you.

Literally the worst club I’ve been to I went on a Friday night, it was okay then I went the next day again on a Saturday, and the music was exactly the same as the night before, and when I say music I mean Pitbull was playing every other” song“was loud fast dance music that all sounded the same. After me and my friends asked the DJ to please play Biggie, Justin Timberlake, or The Beastie Boys he agreed then never played it. Their lucky there are barely any clubs in New Hampshire that is the only reason they have business.

Totally love this place!!! I went to college in Manchester so I love coming back. While in college the nightlife suffered so its nice to have a kick ass place to come to. We love coming here, no matter if there is 3 or 15 of us. Love the 2 rooms with different music as well as the patio section in the summer. Multiple bars indoor and out as well as the ability to reserve a table (although a little pricey). Never waited more than 10 minutes in line, no matter the size of our group, we always get in the non singles line and just go with it. No cover on Saturday nights Always find a close parking space as well as usually free! Cant wait to return for our birthdays in October!!! :)

This place is the worst. This was my second time here. First time sucked too, but i decided to give it another shot. I was a little scared, as i definitely saw some criminal activity going down, including the staff. The staff was rude. A complete waste of time AND MONEY. I will never ever go back.

Terrible club. It’s so grimy and shady. The staff is rude. Don’t waste your money here!

Why does drink sell out but always score. middpe of the pack? Simple. The Black Brimmer is gone and never updated itself. Woe be the day that what is now the jade dragon fet its act together and use its property to competete agaonst drynk.
What does drynk have going for it? Ad pretty awesome staff very ernest in its success. What is it lacking? Music. If any bar or dance cluv deides to ousg djs like zomboy sinderella or anyone of the edm circuit tbey will win. We all know that that the poor dj at drynk isnt allowed to play anything newer tha. 2003. That would probably scare away the creeper middle easternmales that ring the main dance floor and are the club’s main detractor. You van see them hovering like date rape predators and its’ enough that every guy with a date or championing his girls night out knows to leave by 11pm. The wosrt though is hearing music 1p years out of date splive in mc hammet and no one woyld notice with enough bass.
So being generous I go to the «hip hop» bar and * couldn’t get a shittier selection of music masquerading as hip hop. I thim most of the tags on these songs for go the #hip hop moniker so again we must look to upper management because like wbs before it the staff is supeb and this is aftwr a stint in the army where yoy learn what real «to spec“meabs and you learn the difference between salaried and tippwd customered service. Again I think management is luck no one on Elm st. Gas decided yo go heads up witg them because like every placr before qhen runs heads up vs. Elm st. Their dated practices loose.
And to be generous to the bartenders in the backroom they. are 1 person short snd seem more over wheeled due to lack of management.

Great security (Boris), Awesome bartender (Bekka), awesome DJ (danjah)…they do it right. It is always a fun night out with these people present.

The worst bartenders that a place can possibly have. After standing at the bar for 15 mins the bartender comes and says that she can’t serve coz it’s last call. (They don’t take it into consideration that the customer had been waiting for 10 mins at the bar, while she was too busy serving her friends). They are arrogant and they think as if they rule the place. I wouldn’t recommend anyone. It’s the worst experience that you can go to, if you plan on clubbing in Manchester. (If they had an option to give ratings in negative, I would have gladly done that)

I probably should have read the reviews first. Don’t waste your time. So unorganized, unprofessional but they did do a GREAT job screwing up my girls bachelorette.
Oh, and the best part — my girl ordered another bottle, should have put $ 150 on her card but ran $ 650 instead for our VIP table that we had already paid for in cash. Nice.
I’ll say it is really nice outside but it’s so not worth it, go somewhere else.

If you asked me before last week I’d say Drynk is a good place to dance… Ask me now and I’ll tell you the place is sketchy and gives out, or sells, credit cards that are left at the bar.
I left my card at the back bar inside, bought two drinks with it then left it open to get more later. With the excitement of dancing with my friends and meeting new people I forgot to go back and close it out before we left. So, I went in a cpl days later to retrieve it only to find a bunch of morons running in circles unable to find it, seriously circles. They were saying it should be in the safe etc with no luck. I was told to come back asking for the manager that worked on Saturday, because he would have it. **Clue number one… Not sure why this guy would have it in his possession vs. being at the bar or in a safe… but I tried to avoid overreacting before card in hand or otherwise.
Needless to say I went back again and chatted with the bar manager, who was able to recover my license but not my credit card. This was weird bc I didn’t specifically leave my license with them, I knew I dropped it but thought it was in a friends car, so yay I got that back. Despite how this sounds, I wasn’t drunk that night, just forgetful.
What I don’t understand is how a card left at their bar walked away without having a single Drynk charge on it, and then racks up a couple hundred in fraudulent charges over the next week. Doesn’t seem like they’d let a card leave the bar without charging something on it? … First thought, inside job?
I’ll update once I get the mugshot from a location where the card was used… I won’t be surprised if it’s a Drynk employee or perhaps someone that bought it from a Drynk employee…
Regardless, get your shit together Drynk. You’re running a business not a playground.

A line in the cold to get ID checked.
Not since I was in college, oh, yeah I was in New England then too.
A total undiverse college scene.
The older the night got, apparently re younger I appeared to get.
Parking is a mess. Drive through the lot once, no one directed me, so I paid to park only to find out there was free parking in the lot.
Line to the ladies bathroom was literally out the door. Ok, that may have been my fault for being on the phone in one of the stalls for 20 minutes but the place stunk so bad that I really preferred 20 minutes in the bathroom stall on the phone.
Save your time, try someplace else.

I despise, despise, despise their system of doing things. Every time I come in with a group with a big mix of guys and girls, they are always separating my friends. Their dress code is terrible as well. You see sleazy people coming in with hats or whatever, and then there are people who are not allowed in unless they dress better. They need to figure out a consistent system.
Only reason why I am giving it an extra star is because I do have fun whenever I get to go there sometimes. Everyone is drunk, though, so that’s not saying much. There’s also not a lot of space for people to dance, so people are awkwardly grinding against people who they are not trying to grind with.

We came to Drynk on a Saturday night with a group of friends, probably 15 of us. Before we even got inside, we knew it was going to be a bad night.
First
The entrance issue needs to be resolved. We came as a split group, part couples, part single males and females. At the door there are two lines, one for couples/​ladies and one for single males. Needless to say if you’re a single male, you’ll be waiting quite a long time no matter how much money you have or if you came in a group. It took us about 20 extra minutes of standing outside in the cold before we got up to the front — all the while we were watching girls who came 15 minutes after us just walk in. I was ready to grab a single lady, and say «Pardon miss, please pretend to be my date I’ll buy you a drink — I just want to get inside the building.» I guess this is how they maintain their guy: girl ratio — but it could be handled a bit better. Maybe 1 guy for every 5 girls in?
Second
Standing room only. For such a debacle at the front, you’d think they would know a thing or two about capacity. If you want to dance, you’re relegated to a two-​step at best. At least there was no cover charge, because I would totally not pay to wait in line for this.
Third
I am a bartender (and former bar owner), and I’ve traveled all over New England to try drinks and rate them. I must tell you to avoid the Long Island here. It’s watered down, and I think it has about ¹⁄₃ of the original alcohol content. I’ve watched the bartenders make drinks for other customers, and the way to go seems to be [mix + straight liquor]. For example, I’ve seen a couple of them do 3 – 4 ounces of whiskey for a whiskey and coke (twice the standard amount).
They do get two stars though, it wasn’t all that bad. The girl to guy ratio inside was great, plenty of eye-​candy if you’re into that. It definitely is a place where girls dress to impress, and guys are just «whatever». The other star they get is for good music selection — there a room in back for more…‘urban’ styles. The front has more house/​top 40.
Final thoughts:
From a former bar owner, this place needs a lot of work. If you’re at capacity, do something about cutting down the line. Make it $ 5 cover for guys. Up the dress code a notch. Do a guest list. Make things fair. Hire some solid promoters. Get a photographer. Make a website. Look to Boston for some good examples.
