REVIEWS OF Portsmouth Gas Light Co. IN Maine

Joe Captain of Therapy

Great pizza / children's menu has a large children's pizza for $6.00. Calzones are very good. Kids like the big fish tank in lower level was a bit with my daughter! Enjoy

Nicole Chase

Awesome live bands and food. Only set back is it seems to always be at capacity during prime hours. Still worth a visit though

Mom23kitties

Great location..eat outside with water view. Food was fantastic. Its pricey but worth it! I wouldn't bring kids though.

elizabeth couto

Worst food experience of my life. Steak came out absolutely raw. Maybe on the grill for 30 seconds. We sent it back, and it came back the same maybe even worse. The drinks weren’t good, the chicken was like saw dust, and the waitress didn’t even apologize. Stay away.

Jon Pugmire

Not a great experience. Our party of five had been seated two hours (maybe just shy) before our food came out. Looked and tasted like it had been sitting for a couple hours before it was brought out, and honestly, it wouldn't have made a huge difference if it was brought out promptly. The food just wasn't of the quality one would expect for the price. This is, however, a good place for drinks. Good beer list and tasty mixed drinks, but I will not eat here again.

Ronald Dow

1st time here so didn't know the menu me and my wife figured we would start off with an appetizer she got one I got one I got chicken fingers thinking it would be small wrong it was HUGE I MEAN HUGE!!! The wife the same thing she got humis and vegetables again HUGE!!! So we are both stuck with these huge appetizers I'm stuck eating 5 giant chicken fingers and honey mustard and that's it do I dear order fries NOPE . Then she ask if we would like to place are order ha ha ha ha ha I don't think so I'm stuck eating an appetizer I can't even finish and you want me to order now. Food ok menu small the sz of the food is the problem.

Mike Seper

Patio has a good beer selection. Live band when we were there on a Thursday. Chill spot that looks like it gets really fun. Good time.

Andy Pinzhoffer

Dined in the downstairs section, though I do always enjoy the live music from the patio while I'm walking by. The seating was a little tight and the tables were so laughably small they had to put the pizza we ordered on a collapsible table next to us. That said it was fairly priced and tasty. The waiter was also friendly and helped us get everything organized. The beer list was just kinda ok with the exception of a few good, very expensive, bottles.

Seneca Wilson

Great service and friendly bartenders

Shred Fast

Amazing service, very nice people. The food was awesome.

Margaret Becirevic

Nice place, chicken nachos were good, chicken quesadilla had almost no flavor. French fries are yummy!

Carol Howe

Just popped in for a bite food was very good ..large portions..enough to bring home for the kids..

Landon Shemwell

Highly recommend not going numerous times I've seen management kick people out for no reason DJ is always mediocre also

Kristin Allaben

Food was very good! Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Recommend the Grill part for a nice dinner. Good variety.

Toya Brown

Club, restaurant, outdoor seating all nice

David Case

Good food. Laid back atmosphere.

Allana Sendzicki

Been going to the pizza pub downstairs for years. We always whatever we get. The wings are great (especially the Ginger Teriyaki ones!). On a recent trip I didn't realize that downstairs was not handicap accessible. I was under the impression there was a ramp at the back of the location. Well needless to say we show up with two individuals who wouldn't be able to navigate the stairs. I talked to the manager of duty and they were more than accommodating in helping us execute a plan of action that allowed us to dine upstairs and off of the pub menu. Kudos all around! We will be back next time we are in town!

Frank Johnson

Absolutely delicious anybody should try I’m from out of state and the food was more than good can’t describe how good it was any bad review is someone who is just mad the food and service was unbelievably great thanks again will definitely be back

wyatt m

ive been going here for a while! they have lovely service& a fish tank. i like the pizza buffet

Darin Adair

Dog-friendly outdoor dining, live music, good service, inexplicably limited drink and dining options outside. Cool area; Portsmouth is hoppin' - I hope it doesn't become a victim of its own success.

J B

i had 4 drinks and all of them had more juice or soda instead of alcohol. DJ cuts the music when the beat drops.... cmon man. the place is nice, i would give 5 stars but...

Andy Swanson

Great service outstanding food I highly recommend it

Frank Rivera

Didn't like the service.

j. gill

Neat little basement pizza joint with a cozy bar on one side and tables on the other. Recommend the namesake pizza! Modest but interesting tap list.

R R

Was super. Went for a live performance. Music was good. Clarity of audio could be better, as it needed a bit of tuning but was good overall. Great view of the ocean, atmosphere is great.

Keri Stevens

Sadly one of our all time favorites in Portsmouth has delivered poor service and underwhelming (

Justin O

Awesome night. Had a company get together there after a dinner. Love the outdoor patio area.

Hilary Hamer

Good menu variety for both food and drinks. The four different venues are a little confusing- know what you want when you go in- there's the flatbread pizza joint, the club (at nighttime), the deck outside which has a slightly more limited/casual menu and then the indoor Grill which is more formal/full menu. I've been to the deck which is fun with live music (but loud) and the grill which is better for talking. A reliable choice for a group in Portsmouth who may have diverse tastes.

Celine Frechette

Great pizza and double points on Tin Tuesday, chicken wings rock!

Elisa Funteral

Staff was helpful with a large group for a bachelorette. Their VIP service in the 3rd floor nightclub was a great value and made the night 10x better!

Donna Audy

Great outdoor music!

Ian Miller

When we walked it we thought we would be able to order from both the grill and pub menu (I guess it's split?) as the grill is up stairs and the pub is downstairs. It was not a bad place to meet up with friends for dinner and to watch some sports.

Laura Travin

Alter waiting an eternity for our order I received this almost non existent “salmon” burger. Terrible place and food quality.

Max Schryver

Great pizza and good cider on draft!

Marcus Stuart - Vannini

I had avoided this place but was sucked in after volleyball to the outdoor dining area, then downstairs on a different occasion and upstairs for a corporate event. Staff are very good, food is above average. Love the outdoor area, brought my kids and we weren't run out of town.

Michelle Lalonde

This place is great. Wood fired pizza downstairs, wood fired grill on the main floor, night club upstairs, and a great outdoor deck. We found friendly staff at each spot. The live music outside is fun. We visited here 3 times on our 4 day vacation.

Alexandra Pappas

I love love love all the food! In the summer they open what they call the deck. It’s more like a backyard enclosed and only 21+. This place has great rum buckets and there is musicians when the deck is open. Just a great fun spot. They have a pizza parlor downstairs, a regular restaurant in the middle, and a club upstairs. Many ways to enjoy this place!

sonal mohan

Nice environment, live music, good crowd, people around are friendly and having fun. The only thing is drinks, drinks served to us were just water. There was minimum alcohol in them, if any. Also, be careful about where you choose to sit, because if you sit too close to where the live music plays, people will start dancing there eventually, and you will need to move, so just be wise about that. Good music and good vibes!

Stamatios Vlachos

Nice place with a great beer variety. Also great is the menu. You can have from freshly made pizza to seafood.We tried seafood, mostly fried calamari and mussels and were delicious and fresh. Reasonably priced.

B Nguyen

Visited the "pizza pub" - good food for good price. Other foods slightly expensive but worth it. Best value is the pizza buffet which is ~$7 per person and provides their standard pizzas plus a salad and breads. Overall, clean and pleasant enviroment, good for kids/all crowds

Andy Donahue

I wish I could give this place a 0 out of 5!!! My first time in Portsmouth NH and this is the worst establishment I’ve ever been to!

Cydney Snyder

Great food And atmosphere!

Isaiah Bates

Kinda suburban lil spot with watered down drinks and awkwardly dancing young ladies but its good clean fun for everybody,

Marcia Kenyon

Visited with friends...great service & good food. Welcoming staff who let us linger without any problem. Intetesting & historic building. Highly recommended.

M. Spenser Brouwer

Live music, comfortable outdoor patio, drinks are a bit on the expensive side though

Tan Sai

Avoid if you can. Just another tourist trap with overpriced mediocre food and skimpy alcoholic drinks. If you must go here, their sister pizza parlour in the basement is not bad.

Mary Royster

Service was wonderful the food was great.

Dal Coger

Great food in Portsmouth what more can i say.

Maggie Bowman

Great spot for dinner in Portsmouth! Awesome lobster roll and Pizza in the more laid-back dining room in the basement. Full service dining upstairs is great if you're looking for something a bit more upscale.

Spencer Dauer

This restaurant is pretty large from what I could tell. I sat in the basement for pizza but there was a ground floor and an upper floor (I believe) as well. The pizza was great and the service awesome. This may have been by accident, but if it wasn't, well done! Our party was a group of 5 and two of us ordered one pizza and three ordered another. The pizza for two was cut into 6 slices (three for each) and the pizza for three was cut into nine slices (three for each). Usually there is an awkward one or two slices left and not enough to split evenly. I really appreciated this and wish it was the standard at all pizza joints.

DeeDee Jenkins

Bartender was clearly not on point. Also not personable or attentive to our needs. Order got messed up! It took over an hour to get our food. Management must be new or maybe it's due to the turnover of cooks. Worst visit ever. Pizza has changed for sure which saddened us. Might try it again at a later date. Three strikes and they are out! One more visit left!

Michelle Lalonde

This place is great. Wood fired pizza downstairs, wood fired grill on the main floor, night club upstairs, and a great outdoor deck. We found friendly staff at each spot. The live music outside is fun. We visited here 3 times on our 4 day vacation.

Steph L

Horrible service both times I gave this place a chance.

David Bridgeo

Great outside patio, they tried to keep the place warm with patio heaters... Also, small club upstairs, was noce to have two different atmospheres at one location

Jean Coigley

If having a mixed alcohol drink, don't bother. Tastes like a soda or just juice depending on what you order. Be clear about your food order, often get it wrong. Servers seem distracted with each other.

FityBucksKhed 50

Booked VIP tonight was great service! our server Lauren was amazing. Highly recommend you ask for her! Bill was also our amazing private bouncer. Make sure you too well!.

Frank Maio

Amazing Wood fired wings

Jim Smalley

Good food, great beer selection and friendly staff. Summer with outdoor patio and music is wonderful

Jason

They have music on Friday and Saturday night. It's $7 at the door. Beers are $7 as well. Music wasn't bad, mix of new and old. Mix crowd young and older. Dance floor is small. If you are looking to dance on the weekend. It's not a bad place.

Ben Gurien

Only had drinks outside but was nice. Had live singer. Was crowded outside.

Alexandra Pappas

I love love love all the food! In the summer they open what they call the deck. It’s more like a backyard enclosed and only 21+.

Kevin Neuhaus

Good selection of beer and food.

Paris Beckett

The server was nice, but waiting an hour for food isn't something our group enjoyed.

david bowen

Nice place for drinks and good food

Luke Bambrick

Cozy little pub nook with a Portsmouth feel. Food is not astoundingly good, but overall a good experinece.

Cindy Pohd

Waitress got to-go order wrong, but she was new so gets a pass. Have been going for years, sometimes better than others. But overall, a very good place for puzza and beer or wine. Excellent Caesar salad!

Jon Durante

Stopped by for early dinner with our dog and sat on the patio. Decent beer selection and we had lobster rolls that were simple but very good. Waitstaff was very nice and our waitress got our dog a water bowl and some grilled chicken to snack on. We'll be back for sure.

Emily Coombs

We stopped in for drinks and snacks. Drinks were nice, but was surprised by the horseradish in the shortribs poutine (a special). I am sure it was good if you like horseradish, but it was a strong flavor to not mention in the description. My partner enjoyed them though.

Cullen Scott

If you like hearing damage, vapid environments and insecure white people this is the spot for you.

Natalie McKee

While the food was fine, I was pretty disappointed with our service last night. We came in for dinner around 4:45 with a group of 12 (and a toddler/baby) after calling ahead to ask if they could accommodate us. It was a slow Sunday evening, and we were the only people there besides one couple. We were there a normal amount of time, and tipped well (the kids were well-behaved, and when the toddler got antsy we took her outside so as not to trouble the couple near us). But at the end of dinner it started pouring buckets, so one of our party offered to run back to get a car from the lot where we left them and then take my husband back to get the car for the kids. We started to gather our things to go, and the waiter/busser came in like hawks, moving our stuff, cleaning off the table, touching our things like they just HAD to get us out of there right away (even though we were still clearly waiting for a ride). There was no one in line waiting to eat, and only one other family had come in during our whole time there. We were essentially the only paying customers they were going to have, and yet they practically shooed us out. That meant we ended up standing in the lobby, where the waiters had to walk through to get things upstairs and were visibly annoyed with us. But it was still pouring, they weren't getting any new customers, and there was no need to rush us out like that.

Mason Delisle

Will not be returning. Management was condescending to multiple people in my group.

Robert L.

Pizza was delicious and ingredients were fresh. On a Tuesday night, it wasn’t very busy so our pizza was ready in a flash. The bartender was also our server. Very friendly and he did a great job. Beautiful and cozy dining room on the main floor. But, if you’re eating pizza or burgers, they’ll send you downstairs where the atmosphere is more of a sports bar or pub. We’ll definitely go back!

Paul Giuliano

Gaslight has so much to offer. In the winter we love the cozy atmosphere of the pizza pub. In the summer we love the deck. Thank you Gaslight staff for allowing us to bring our dog, Frytz loves the attention!

Joshua McGlone

Awesome party place with excellent pizza. There is a cozy indoor restaurant& it's kid friendly. a cool outdoor bar that regularly has live music & an upstairs club styled bar(not for kids. Lol) that has a unique vibe from everything else in Portsmouth.

sonal mohan

Nice environment, live music, good crowd, people around are friendly and having fun. The only thing is drinks, drinks served to us were just water. There was minimum alcohol in them, if any. Also, be careful about where you choose to sit, because if you sit too close to where the live music plays, people will start dancing there eventually, and you will need to move, so just be wise about that. Good music and good vibes!

Frances Gobbi

Everything was fresh and delicious

Nick Haggerty

Wait staff was extremely kind, food was amazing and prices were not to bad!

Anthony Dyer

Was not let in at 11:45 with them saying I was stumbling after a single drink... Bouncer is on some power trip I guess because he has never in his life pleased a woman

Julia Sinclair

I gave my husband a surprise Retirement Party in the third floor function room and it was extraordinary. When I say that - I am referring to not only the beautiful room and huge, gorgeous bar but also the incredible, well organized employees. The event coordinator, Kate, is super nice, responsive, and also well organized (as one can tell - I’m a little obsessive about organization). These guys exceeded my expectations. They made sure my video was set to go whenever I needed it to and then was right there to make sure it happened correctly. The sound system and three screens (one pull down and two Large Monitors) were PERFECT. The party/celebration “vibe” or atmosphere was everything a celebration should be. Oh yes, and the food received compliments throughout the entire event from everyone. Kate, the coordinator did a great job fooling my husband as she walked him to the third floor. Husband said “I didn’t think you had a dining room up here”. “It’s new...” she responded as she texted me telling me my husband was coming down the hall! He was shocked and It was such a great time. I totally recommend this place.

Scott Pelletier

Great place unfortunately when I got there it was getting late and a lot of people had already left but the server was very cool and he told myself and a friend where to go where there was live music I'll definitely be back here

David Webb

Buffalo chicken pizza was the best I've ever had. Solid draft selection. Downstairs is a very laid back vibe, strongly suggest.

Nicole Lydon

Dancing, drinks and music.

Deanna Paquet

Great singer and guitar player last night!

Suril Dalal

Pretty cool nightclub, a friendly environment, great music and lighting. Pretty awesome that you can get some za after the club closes. Awesome time here.

Diane D

Food was good but pricey

Hannah Stutts

Been here many times for the dance club. This time it was a catered event for my son's hockey team end of season banquet- they did great job- really liked the more casual atmosphere in that situation.

Terri McNeill

Good food and service, very quaint

patricia schmoock

Decent food, though a bit of a wait time. Went for lunch, ate at the grill which only had 1 other party eating. Food took quite a bit longer to receive than expected, especially since it was no where near busy. 1 in my party ordered a BLT, which wasn't served with mayo.... seems odd. I ordered the sweet chili stir fry with chicken. The dish is GF (I have Celiac), it was good, rice was just a bit undercooked, but not inedible. I spend a lot of time in Portsmouth, but not sure I'd be inclined to visit again.

Jessica Reynolds

Pizza was delicious. Who knew ricotta on pizza was so good?! We got the Gas Light and Salt Pie, both were wonderful!!

K Caruso

I was there on July 6, 2019. My husband and myself had stopped in for some drinks and appetizers. We have been going to the gaslight pub for about 15 years and always loved it the service was always great the food was always good but this yearJust stopping in for a drink and an appetizer I witnessed a very angry chef at the grill who is throwing food around and swearing, the bartender who I think her name was Michelle was on the rude side and proceeded to not let me explain how to make a drink that I wanted, she just flat out was arguing with me. I went to the manager when I left and expressed what we had seen and he didn’t seem to interested. He just stood there smiling saying he will try an address it , didnt offer any thing to us nor did we ask for anything. Sadly we will not be back. A manager that lets his staff in plain view of customers swear an throw food on the floor an slam dishs down does not make for a relaxing visit. Very sad, it once was our fave in Portsmouth for 15 years. It seemed to me the staff got way younger and they just do not care an have a manager that doesn’t either. Karen Caruso.

Jay Villamar

If you're looking for flavor in your food... Might wanna head elsewhere.

John Babrick

Do *NOT* get the "Peruvian Chicken Sandwich". Dry Burnt chicken breat with no flavor. Disappointing. The meal was overall overpriced. Slow service. Can't get pizza unless you go to a different floor. Blech. Not coming back.

Jeff Spires

Many options for dinner across two floors of dining. They offer a third floor as a night club on certain days. Pizza is good - a little saucy, but tasty. Try the appetizer meatballs and potato skins during half price happy hour!

David Webb

Buffalo chicken pizza was the best I've ever had. Solid draft selection. Downstairs is a very laid back vibe, strongly suggest.

Bobby Casey

Friendly staff and good drinks. The food was okay at best and the prime rib special was not good at all.

Desmin Peifer

You can't beat the pizza buffet at lunch!! Great pizza, even better price!!

Max Sargent

Yummy good deal

Daniel Cavanagh

There is something for everyone at Gaslight. Family dinner, casual dates, music, dancing, outdoor space, the list goes on! Hands down one of my favorite places to go, no matter my mood.

Lex Cary

Food was decent. Sat at a table for 2 on a Thursday, late night. Waited an hour and a half for our food to come out and didn't even receive our appetizer until we we're finish with our entree. Waiter never checked on us. Never got another drink. Not worth your time

Matthew Schuff

Went here for the first time, ever. I will never go back. I ordered 2 drinks. I am seeing my credit card statement with 7 charges. Military towns ripping off the military. I have been there, and done it all before. Such bs!!!

William Gregware

Good food and atmosphere. They also allow you to bring your pup along.

Yuri Chang

Great outdoor and live music places to have a drink and unwind.

I S

Got delivery via Uber eats and the potato skins, pasta, and calzone were gross. Waste of $50

Mo Cons

It was good food, the service was great, and the prices are affordable. Once it started to rain they helped to seat us at the bar under an awning cover. The customer there was a nice gentleman, he gave up his seat for us to sit at the bar together.

David Pearson

Service was great. Don't like all the separate menues for deck upstairs and downstairs. Pizza is downstairs I really wanted to eat on the deck so lids and I could hear the band but was told that was a limited menu. Don't think we were asked for another drink. Prices were good and both picky kids liked the pizza. Over all great experience.

Courtney Edwards

Delicious burger and currently a delicious cider on tap!!

Izzy Flores

Ordered haddock sandwich and got a piece that McDonald’s would be ashamed to serve. Not big enough to satisfy my cat..

Brenda R-Wilson

The outdoor pub area is great, Live entertainment and drinks, all good!

Ron Plourde

Excellent pizza and beer. Cool atmosphere downstairs in the pizza pub.

David Crompton

Very nice. Great local fish carvings and wonderful pub fare. Very friendly service staff.

Megan Townsley

Had our company party here. The drinks were "meh", the music was poor, the music VIDEOS were SO-FAR- FROM-APPROPRIATE... ever had "fluffy" meatballs? Too much breading added in. Just my opinion, and you are thoroughly encouraged to make your own observations.woukd I go here again? Nope. Are my thoughts the end all, be all? Nope. Try it out and [hopefully] enjoy.

Kayla Mello

Went here for a birthday dinner and it was delicious. AJ was a great server and very knowledgable about various gluten free options

Danielle J

Had a very mixed experience here. I’m not a local but was here with family and friends for a bridal party. We had a bunch of things go wrong and then a couple things go right. I have worked in the food industry so I don’t usually do this since I understand both sides. We had a terrible experience at their outdoor patio, then moved inside and had a terrible experience there. I won’t bore you with the details but I assure you we were not impressed with the service or food. We spoke to different members of the staff and felt the usual “yes ma’am”, “we understand ma’am” comments with a glazed over look we’re typical and impersonal. I then took it upon myself to find the manager. I don’t recall his name but he was wearing a suit. He listened and understood my/our frustrations. At this point we were about to leave and never return. I made this clear, he apologized and asked if he could make the experience up to us by discounting our bill and bringing us upstairs for free and getting us a round of drinks. Most of our group was completely turned off at this point and just wanted to leave but after some convincing we decided to take him up on his offer. We went upstairs, grabbed some drinks and shockingly enjoyed the rest of our night. I would have thanked him on our way out but the place was a zoo when we were leaving. All in all our experience was ok. Terrible to start and then great to finish. I’ll give them another shot and hope for a more complete experience.

Cheri Brow

Market sq days..big event..

William Chappell

We attempted to have a drink at this place because the ambiance seemed nice. It was 5:30 on a Thursday and we were told that we were not aloud to have a seat without ordering food. I was with my handicapped mother in law. We were offered to stand in the corner after ordering at the bar. There were a minimum of 15 open tables on the patio at this time. I took these photos at peak time of 7pm to show how many seats were still available! We went down the street to the brewery where our service was welcomed and actually ended up ordering some food anyway. As I understand the concept of this policy there are other ways to prevent these issues without the business denying money from customers.

Bryan Marshall

Always a must stop when hitting downtown Portsmouth. Great food and excellent live entertainment in the back garden.

Candace anne Antonelli

Having been a regular customer there the owners staff DJ some of the patrons are like family closer than my family to me I love them all with a passion and they know it and I can feel the love they give me back. I would recommend it to anybody is the safe neutral environment for anybody to go have fun Friday nights little less busy Saturdays usually packed after 10:30 packed elbow to elbow but always a lot of fun

Jen

Nice atmosphere and waitstaff were great. The lobster roll lacked flavor but it was fresh and a good sized meal. My husband had the batter fish and chips and the fish had way too much batter on it which held a lot of oil and the oil didn’t taste very nice which was disappointing.

paul stevens

Good atmosphere, decent food and good service

Ronald Pilotte

Good food reasonably priced

Jeanette Dantuono

Had a beautiful Cobb salad with the m oh st delicious shrimp. M y friend had a cesar salad with shrimp. Both were so fresh and tasty. I overheard other people talking about their great food also. Pizza, burgers etc. Will return again.

Colin throckmorton

Awesome place! Food was fantastic! Service was great! We had the 3rd floor event room which was plenty big, great setting and views. We got a little bit of everything from the menu and all of it was delicious. Highly recommend this place for anytime or anything you want. Great job guys, please keep up the good work. Next time I visit NH this is the first place I’m coming back to. Thank you, from Texas.

Enrica Jossi

Lovely wait staff, but got completely fleeced here. I saw a sign saying "Margarita Monday - 1/2 off", and asked about it when I was seated. I was assured they were half price, until the bill came and they charged me full price. Apparently the half off is for club members, which you can join, bit it doesn't apply until the next day. The salmon burger was tasty, but mostly breadcrumbs with a few small chunks of fish. It was nice sitting on the patio, but I just can't recommend this place.

Jeanette Dantuono

Had a beautiful Cobb salad with the m oh st delicious shrimp. M y friend had a cesar salad with shrimp. Both were so fresh and tasty. I overheard other people talking about their great food also. Pizza, burgers etc. Will return again.

Michelle Melvin

Just go directly downstairs for the pizza!!

Mike Koshko

The pizza downstairs is absolutely delicious. Cooked in a fire burning oven using awesome ingredients, you will be in heaven. Service is average but the food makes it worth it. The Salt Pile and Molly Malone are the ones you HAVE to try.

Ryan Tacy

Great food in a very nice/classy atmosphere.

katelin brown

Was very happy with the drinks and the atmosphere. Great experiance.

Marissa Vane

The only reason it’s getting a 3 star review is because of the patio area, dogs are welcome, and the staff was very nice and accommodating. Food and drinks, not so much. I got the salmon burger and it was so dry. There was no taste to it even with the pineapple. I took a bite and tried to save the meal but there was no point. My husband got the Korean wrap. It was decent but nothing to write about in a review as the best dish. Another friend got the Cuban sandwich. Again very dry. I almost hope the chef reads this and maybe considers toasting the bun and putting a little more aioli on it. The drinks again just subpar. There so many other better places to go in Portsmouth. So if you’re looking for a good meal with good drinks, you can pass on this. But if you just want to sit outside and are not a foodie, then go at your own risk.

Shadi Alizadeh

They have the best pizza in Portsmouth! And if you want live music in spring and summer you can enjoy spending time in their deck. I wish they had more variety in their light beer but overall I recommend this place.

Santiago Torres

Can't rate the food aside from the calamari which at each bite it they were delicious. Went here for a bachelor party and as busy as it was we well greeted relatively quickly. The environment was enjoyable as there was an outside patio with live music. The entrance fee was affordable and I did not mind paying. Selection of beers was nice as one would expect for the area to meet the demand of other competitors. The downstairs was a nice surprise. The group grabbed pizza afterwards and we didn't leave any left! They also have an upstairs night club that was part of the entrance fee which was a plus.

Cory Burke

Great service and great food.

Jackie Leblanc

My boyfriend and I decided to take a trip up to Portsmouth for dinner. Now I work in the area and I always wanted to try out this place! We went on 6/7/19 (friday) and I expected the lower half of the restaurant to be packed... it wasnt. Our waitress was friendly but completely screwed up our order. I asked for a simple calzone... literally 4 ingredients and my boyfriend got a burger and "chips" which were all crumbs! He was missing half his toppings to his burger and my 4 ingredient calzone (sausage, mushroom,onion and cheese, Sauce on side. ) was missing the sausage and there was barely any mushroom or onion. It was mostly sauce and cheese. Also the mixed drinks werent great either. Now I'm normally not the type to speak up but I had too. Our waitress ended up taking my meal off the bill which was sweet but if we had the option to come back again... we wouldnt.

Vim Patel

All three of us got the NY strip and they were all fatty and tough. Service was fine but for all 3 us to have a bad steak means I would not go back or recommend.

L Wilhousky

Iconic place. Great pizza

Julia Lopez DiVincenzo

Our favorite take away pizza in town! Not thin, not doughy, but a chewy and satisfying balance of crust and toppings. We love the Molly Malone and the meatballs are just as good as how I make them at home. The house salad has dried cherries and is a tart surprise that plays along well with the other ingredients. There’s a fish tank in the lower dining area. The bar area downstairs is cozy and has such a townie feel, but in a nice “Cheers” type of way. A great place to catch a game on TV.

I came here with my co-workers for a company dinner. The staff members are friendly, the food was great, and the mixed drink was very nice. My criticism is their menu is VERY limited. I only saw roughly 6 appetizers, 4 salads, and 7 entrees to choose for dinner. Perhaps they are better known as a bar, not a restaurant. But anyway, I did enjoy my time there though.

Had a good time. Food was good and so were the drinks, from the pizza place, to the dining room. The patio and the club. There is plenty of fun at the gas light.

Awesome place! Food was fantastic! Service was great! We had the 3rd floor event room which was plenty big, great setting and views. We got a little bit of everything from the menu and all of it was delicious. Highly recommend this place for anytime or anything you want. Great job guys, please keep up the good work. Next time I visit NH this is the first place I’m coming back to. Thank you, from Texas.

I normally love the place but today DID NOT get the best service. I chose the resturaunt to celebrate my birthday with friends. It was a rather large group, so I placed a reservation previous to us showing up. Service started out rather rude, which was very surprising to me. Once I asked if we could get pizza upstairs with the reply “nope”, they asked if we wanted to go downstairs. They told us all the food we wanted would be served downstairs, and that there would be a 20min wait. After waiting for an hour and finally being seated, we then didn’t get drinks for another hour, as the waiters were rudely joking about how they should “probably get us our waters”. They then told us that the back kitchen was closed so we could only get pizza. The pizza men were saying very harsh words over the counter as they clearly knew we could hear. We ended up being there for 3 hours. I normally don’t get upset about things like this however when a business is very unprofessional in this way and I start histerically crying at the dinner table I would say the service wasn’t to great. Lowkey ruined my birthday not gonna lie. Our waiter kinda looked like spider man tho so I guess that was kinda cool.

Best pizza and great pub atmosphere.

Christine Ciaramitaro

Good food, great cocktails and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. I loved the smell of wood smoke from the wood fire grill that was in the air. My Dad had the prime rib special and it was cooked perfectly. I had the Black & Blue Burger it was very tasty but a little over cooked for my "Rare, still mooing, rare" sense of taste. The vegetables and all the sides were really good, fresh and handmade. I will definitely be back.

Martha Donovan

Wanted to start with an appetizer but when it came to the table it was so huge that is all I could eat , my husband got chicken fingers and they were the size of a overgrown cucumber

Paul Jenkins

Pizza was good. But waiting 40 minutes was ridiculous. Kitchen needs help

Samantha Loso

It feels as though the place was WAY over capacity - no moving upstairs comfortably (simply having your hands by your sides). Fun music and could be a great place to dance but they allow anyone willing to pay the cover charge up the stairs no matter the amount of people up there.

Timothy Parks

As a gay couple, we were kissing at the bar, they claimed that the designated driver was disruptive at the bar and kicked is out. Literally we had smiles on our faces and talking together. Homophobia is real dont go here of you're gay. Hatred and discrimination in full. Avoid at all cost!!

Enrica Jossi

Lovely wait staff, but got completely fleeced here. I saw a sign saying "Margarita Monday - 1/2 off", and asked about it when I was seated. I was assured they were half price, until the bill came and they charged me full price. Apparently the half off is for club members, which you can join, bit it doesn't apply until the next day. The salmon burger was tasty, but mostly breadcrumbs with a few small chunks of fish. It was nice sitting on the patio, but I just can't recommend this place.

I honestly have to say some of the best pizza I've had in quite some time. We had the top floor for a convention. The staff did a great job keeping the food coming. Will highly recommend.

Smoldering Forge

THE best lunch pizza buffet hands down. I've been going for over 12 years, never disappoints. Unbeatable price.

Brett Zola

Can’t beat happy hour deals! Service was great. Sat outside under the heaters. Very comfortable.

Dick Thompson

Had the Peruvian Chicken Sandwich, decent size. At least a 6oz to 7oz piece of chicken, wood grilled.

Horatiu Belicciu

Good beer, good stories, make sure that you also eat there because it's good

larry Gaskell

Nice atmosphere and good food.

Pet friendly. Lobster roll was great for the price, $16.00.

Alex Rindone

Went for drinks at the attached venue, told there was no cover and then there was. Very expensive drink prices and a crazy amount of security lurking around at all times makes this place a poor venue.

Ballard Mattingly

We've only eaten at the pizza restaurant and that's enough for me to keep coming back. The lunch buffet is great, they bring out a wide variety of pizza's, its wicked cheap and you can get in and out perfectly for a lunch. The pizza is wood fire brick over and they do a great job at it.

Dave Carco

This place is great - my late girlfriend loved it there and it was always the 1st place we would visit when in town. Great memories listening to live music in the outside patio area.

Jessica Miller

Went for a private party. The food was delicious, kept fresh and the servers were attentive with plate and drink clearing. Very pleased with the experience and the building was awesome to look at, so much old architecture that's been made modern comfortable.

Jake Tweedy

I go for the live music in the summer only. Better food and ambience in nearby restaurants

Ekaterina Spiridonova

The atmosphere, the mixed drinks, the food, the staff, the live music were awesome. The outside seating is the best. Reasonable prices $16 burgers $10 cocktails $6 beers $14 shots I wish they had bigger menu, there’s not that many options to choose within.

Joanne Rhind

The bartender was very friend and helpful with the menu. I had questions about the ingredients because I was pregnant when I went there. The food was great as well as the atmosphere. I'd definitely go back when I'm in town again.

J Martin

Good eats!

William Nichols

Best pizza in the seacoast

Tricia Famolare

Bar service not friendly, too many choices in Portsmouth, no reason to go back.
