Red Door

I've never had a bad, or even relatively mediocre, drink here. Of course, I can only afford one per trip, but they're stiff and will keep you satisfied for most of the night.

The Hush Hush music series is well worth the $5 cover charge, with a well varied roster (extremely tough to come by in New Hampshire) and an atmosphere that focuses all of its attention to the bands playing. They will literally "hush" you if you're talking too loud during the music, which some people are offended by, but some of us are here to see the bands, and it's impossible to go to a show anywhere else without at least one idiot shouting drunken nonsense at people or trying to start fights.

The cramped interior, low lights, nondescript (nearly "secret") front entrance, and polite staff and clientele are what make this place "totally my kinda thing."

The steep drink prices would be the only thing keeping this from a 5-star review, but everything else is so spectacular I feel no need to split hairs. I hope they stay in business for a long time.

no comment...

I DJed here recently so maybe I'm biased, but I think this place is rad. It's a small room with a really good sound system and on weekends they have real DJs playing house music. I can't imagine there's another spot like this in the area. The staff is awesome and they have good drinks. Can't go wrong.
