Portsmouth Brewery

Large storefront brewpub right in downtown. Long bar and multiple seating options, inside and out. Flights available. Good service. Food menu.

Nice brewpub in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. They had multiple of their own selections on tap along with a few guest taps. The beers and food were both OK. Nothing stood out as fantastic. Service was great!

Located in downtown Portsmouth, the Portsmouth Brewery is a brewpub with a regularly changing rotation of beer, as well as a some local beers on tap. Food is good, service is OK. Best place to stop for craft beer folks in downtown Portsmouth.

Right in the heart of downtown, the taproom has a cool rustic, old-town feel to it. 8 house beers on tap, plus some guests. Flights of all 8 available for just $10. Beer quality was fairly average, with nothing really standing out. Super friendly service. Worth a stop when in town.

Pretty big place but little bit of boring. Food was good. Their own beers quite mediocre but still place is worth of visiting. Own room for merchandise in the entry.

In the historic section of town in a historic building, this place exudes 19th century New England industrialization. Food was quite good and the beers as well. Nice change from the modern breed of small warehouse brewpubs.

Visited on Tuesday, 5/17/2016 at around 8:00pm. A decent crowd was there for a Tuesday night. parking might be challenging, since it’s downtown and surrounded by lots of other shops and restaurants. Service was so-so, as were the beers. they do offer flights. Didn’t try the food, but it looked like standard brewpub fare.

Moderately sized pub, with a relaxed atmosphere in centre of town. Our server was very friendly and helpful with beer choices. Tap list was split 50:50 with own beers and stuff from others (mostly Smuttynose). Bottle list seemed very modest indeed. I only tried their own beer from the tap and most liked the Torn and Frayed IPA here. Didn’t eat. Prices seemed OK. A solid choice for when in the area.

Visited around dinner time on a Monday night. Pretty busy, but was able to get a table within 15-20 minutes. They have a large draft list, with about half of them being house beers. They had a good bit of Smuttynose stuff on draft as well. They do offer beer flights, but I opted for full pours here. For food, i had the lamb burger, and was pretty impressed with it. Service was good. Prices were fair. All around, this is a cool place. I would come back again. Of note, there is also a gift shop attached, but i didn’t get an opportunity to look around in there.

I guess it’s cool to visit the place that was at one point home to one of the most hyped up beers around in the old Kate the Great days.

It’s a nice building right in the middle of downtown Portsmouth/Market Street area. A nice big bar area with some high tops, booths, and regular tables. They also have a downstairs area for boozing it up.

All the beers written on the chalkboard and consisted of Portsmouth and Smuttynose beers. I just tried the Portsmouth stuff. Honestly, they were average brewpub beers, which I had kind of expected from recent-ish reports on the place. There are some "special" bottles in the fridge as well of interesting Smuttynose offerings, for instance. But didn’t purchase any.

Sitting at a table, we got pretty lackadaisical service. Pretty much saw our waitress three times--to order, to drop off the drinks, and then when we asked to pay. Oh well, wasn’t really planning on staying that long anyway.
