9 Best Gastropubs near Dover

“Fun location, friendly and helpful staff. Super busy because of the holiday weekend but we could still hear ourselves talk. The meatball sliders aren't very imaginative but the truffle fries are good and they're generous on the gravy with their poutine.“

“Great food and some unique combinations of ingredients. Spinach salad was excellent. Very tasty roasted garlic dressing. Had the stuffed sole special. Sauce was a lemon caper which over powered the delicate fish although my friend loved it. Tight seating so not much privacy between tables. We got there just before 5pm on a Thursday in March and place was almost full. They don't take reservations so go early.Parking: Small parking lot for restaurant. Street parking available“

“Hands down the best place in this area!! Food is ways fresh and hot! Service is the outstanding and they ALWAYS have a smile on their face regardless of how busy it is!To the guy (Derek) who commented he was not on the waitlist and veterans were not welcome is 100% wrong. I was at this restaurant sitting at the bar when this incident happened. There was a wait as half of the city had no power due to a storm. The gentleman walked in and sat down when there were at least 15 people sitting in the lobby. The waitress came over to get peoples names and the guy (Derek) Was sitting down by other guests who had already Had their name on the list. The waitress did not see him and he began to throw a tantrum like a two-year-old child. She apologized and said she would get him on the list and he stormed out swearing profanities children! He was so rude and the staff handled it way better than I ever would have. Common sense if you see a line of people, you ask if there is a waitlist you don’t act like a two year old!Again, best employees, best food and I would 100% recommend this place to everyone! ?“

“Very impressive. I stopped in here on a recent trip through Portsmouth just because I liked the name. Extremely well made beers, with authentic German styles, something that always makes me happy. Had an excellent bratwurst to go along, and it seemed to have a great, friendly local following on a weekday afternoon. I'll certainly be back on my next trip in the area.“

“My first encounter at Earth Eagle Brewing.Very comfortable seating with a pleasant atmosphere and exclectic decorations.Hot Dog and Hamburger fare is perfect for delicious lunches. They have very creative topping ideas and a plain one for less adventurous patrons. I will also like to add that the Shields brand is already my favorite frank and I was glad they have them. The only one in the group that had a burger liked it also.Great selection of quality brews! We each had a flight which was clearly labeled when they arrived so we knew which ones were chosen.Our service was great and knowledgeable of the products.A couple in our party also enjoyed cocktails.We had a teen with us so I want to add how friendly a place is was for him.A good time was felt by all!I'm excited to try out the Somersworth location now.I will recommend Earth Eagle Brewing for others to experience.Vegetarian options: The Cole Slaw was creamy and savory.Parking: The Free Parking in front was limited and filled.“

“Found this little brewery walking around downtown Portsmouth on a rainy day. We had popped into several boutiques to kill time and stay dry, so it was nice to stumble upon a nice watering hole to change things up!My boyfriend and I both got a flight and between the two of us we tried most of the beer on tap. Reasonably priced (I think $12 for 4 beer samples). They had a little of everything and all had a good flavor, there wasn't one that we didn't like. My boyfriend's favorite was the New England Gangsta (IPA) and mine was a sour... I'm the worst and forgot the name but it was a very mild and enjoyable sour that didn't leave you smacking your lips.We didn't try the food, but it all looked good from what was coming out around us. They have a "dog" side of the menu and a "cow" side... I feel like I'd be team hot "dog" if I did get food as those were best looking of all the food coming out!It was a cozy little place with some bar, table and cozy couch/chair seating. Small and intimate. The lady working was super nice and friendly, and checked on us enough but not to the point of annoyance. Loved the service and atmosphere a lot. If I was a local I would definitely frequent this watering hole! So if you are local, not sure what you're doing still reading this review... get your butt off the couch and go quench your thirst here!“

“Great spot that my partner and I stumbled upon for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Their local tap selection was incredible with something for everyone. We got the sprouts for an appetizer which was delivered quickly in a large portion (we dug in too fast to take pictures) and my only gripe is that they were browned and crispy on the outside but hard / slightly undercooked on the inside. My partner got the meatball sandwich and said it was easily the best meatball sandwich he's ever had. I got the Patrick Henry which was also delicious. The service was lightning fast, my pizza came literally 5 min after ordering. With so many interesting menu items, we will be certainly be returning on our future trips home from New Hampshire.“

“I pass through NH from Maine and I've ended up here randomly twice. It has been a very good experience both times. Having worked in the industry for awhile, I can usually tell a good establishment when I see it. This place seems consistently decent. Worth checking out for both visitors and locals.Matt, maybe? The server with the cool and plentiful tattoos, was all around an amazing server and deserves a special shout out.“

“A nice, relaxing restaurant environment inside a Sheraton hotel. A heads up... the menu on their official website did not match what's on their actual menu in the restaurant when we were there. My boyfriend and I had looked at the online menu prior to deciding what restaurant to go to in town and already decided what we wanted to try based off the menu information online. The server mentioned that the restaurant do not have most of the food items available from what was listed on their official website, but the menu on OpenTable was more accurate. However, I thought the choices from their in-house menu were still great options. Originally, my boyfriend ordered the diver scallops entree, but then was told a few minutes later that the kitchen was out of scallops. My boyfriend had to take more time to figure out what he wanted for an entree as he was slightly disappointed when his choices (from the online menu and scallops) were not available. Our server tried to be as accommodating as possible though by suggesting other seafood entrees that the kitchen can do that's not on the menu but had the ingredients. My boyfriend didn't want to deal with further complications so he ordered the fish and chips. The fish itself was a big portion. The batter was quite salty, but the fish was moist and cooked nicely. I had the mushroom gnocchi which had a great amount of mushrooms and spinach with the gnocchi. The gnocchi has a nice crisp on the outside with a pillowy softness inside. Flavorful dish! If you plan on going to this restaurant after seeing their menu options online, then be aware that it is possible the restaurant may not be offering the same options currently.“
