Our Story
Opened in the winter of 2008, Firefly Bistro & Bar began as the lifelong dream of brother and sister and New Hampshire natives David Becker and Diane Downing. The restaurant was constructed on the ground floor of an antique building that has retained the character of Manchester’s days as an industrial hub of the northeast. Boasting over 25 years in the restaurant industry apiece, Diane, general manager, and David, executive chef, have brought decades of culinary and hospitality experience together and cultivated a leading contemporary dining environment in the heart of New Hampshire’s Queen City.
