Bars near North Hampton

“I was hesitant to dine at this restaurant after reading the reviews, but the restaurant is under new ownership and I have to say the food and service were exceptional. They even accommodated by garlic allergy (hard to do in an Italian restaurant!). Staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“What a gem! Although we are "regulars" of the Kittery food and drink scene we hadn't made it here until a wintery Friday night. Cozy vibe, extremely friendly, attentive, creative staff. The Bourbon lovers in our crowd praised "A fist in the mouth of time" and "Something for Timmy". The gin drinkers loved "Text me Ishmael" and the tequila lovers loved "Jupiter Jazz". We managed to sample a cocktail created by each of the mixologists working... we coverd a lot of the menu territory but there is still much more to explore. We're definitely coming back. Thanks to the team of talented folks behind the bar.“

“I have been here several times. And the ambiance is always great. The staff is great. I have had the duck, land, and steak, they were all delicious. The French onion soup is really good. Everything I have ordered here has not disappointed in taste. You can spend $100 on one person with food and drinks. But you should come here for the food and experience not the price if that matters to you.“

“This was our first time at Green Elephant and we can't wait to go back! Finding a restaurant with lots of vegan options is difficult, so when we discover one and it's great, we get excited! We went for lunch, getting there right when they opened and by the time we left an hour and change later, they were completely full. We had an app, the king oyster mushroom tempura, a noodle curry, and a stir fry. All were amazing. The atmosphere was very nice as well. We didn't get any drinks, but they had a really creative cocktail menu - we'll be back for dinner and drinks next time!“

“My husband and I attended a Get The Led Out show at the Ballroom. Ample parking and right on the beach, public bathrooms right across the street and plenty of places to eat all around. The entrance security was thorough and very polite and got the long line into the venue quickly. A short jaunt up a flight of stairs, a quick ticket scan and wristband and just WOW! The stage is up high and the room is VAST! I assume the first people in the doors knew there were tables to sit at throughout the concert as they were chocked full when we entered about 20 minutes before the show. There appeared to be upstairs viewing rooms too. My guess is they needed reservations or were private boxes. There are 2 sets of bathrooms at either end and many mini bars around the perimeter and several beer kiosks in the center. The lines moved quickly and everyone wore a smile and were very polite. There is an area to smoke out the back door and down multiple flights of stairs. The sound and lighting was fantastic and the experience was awesome. Wear comfy shoes!“

“I have several food allergies and Courtney was great with helping me navigate the menu and also went back and took pictures of the bread and cheese for me so I could make a choice. They have gluten free, dairy free, egg free bread and dairy free cheese. I’m not celiac so cross contamination isn’t an issue for me. They typically put mayo on the bread and Courtney was great in telling me that before hand so they could keep it off the sandwich. I had the pulled pork on gluten free bread with vegan cheese with chips as the side. Both employees working were very nice and attentive. The place is clean and has a nice ambiance to it.“

“Delightful restaurant in the historic district in Portsmouth! Very friendly, super attentive service! Zoe excellent wait person! American tapas; small bites meant to share. Fab beef sliders ? and super good and authentic Italian sausage mini sandwiches. Loved the crispy Brussel sprouts cooked in the style of Carciofi alla Roma! Both the mini Whoopie pies and cinnamon beignets were fab!! Great place with super convenient location. Parking is expensive in the whole area but plentiful. Great and super fun dinner!!!“

“Really nice place. Didn’t eat but had a margarita pitcher then had a blackberry margarita. Real good drinks. The girl working the bar was extremely nice and made some good drinks I’d def come back. Hoping to be back for drinks on the patio during the summer“

“Wonderful service, people, and atmosphere at Legends in Portsmouth, NH! I highly recommend checking this spot out if you’re ever in need of great food, amazing company, and a relaxing time out. Say hi to Kalie, Jasmine, Kyrstin, and the rest of the crew - they are the best. 5-star experience for sure!“

“Went to Portsmouth for a Birthday weekend. When we go away I loke to see what places we would like to eat and the BRGR Bar did not disappoint. The burgers were great definitely needed to cut it in half. One of the best burgers I have ever had. When in the area one of the places I will go to. Our server Mike was great.“

“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.“

“Came here for the first time for an early dinner this Sunday with my family. I wish I had found this place sooner, I will absolutely be back! Sarah, our server, is a pro. Food and drinks were amazing and everything came out promptly. If I could give more stars I would!“

“Sawbelly burger, get it!! It's as good as any burger at Tuckaway. In fact it is a Tuckaway burger! Great brewery with delicious food. Not all beers are great but you can sample them and find something suitable. Beer flights are $13 and the pours are generous.I love the ambiance and the coziness of the booths against the wall.They often have live music which, most recently, was quite awful. Fortunately, the volume was low enough on the restaurant side to make it bearable.I love the service and, in summer, they have a huge outdoor seating area that is dog friendly.“

“Just went for a couple of beverages and meet up with friends. Didn't have any food, though it was available.Parking: Great friendly people... Nice place to meet up with friends and take it from there. Bowling and a beverage it's a no miss good time... Unless you stink at bowling. ?“

“Our second dinner proved as lovely as our first. We shared a cheese board equal to the price, loaded with various cheeses (one hard, one very soft and a bleu), pickled veggies, sweet, cruncy nuts and plenty of crostini. I enjoyed a stuffed (spinach), baked haddock, perfectly done while my husband relished his seared scallops, rice and bok choi. Given it was Valentine's Day, we shared the special flourless choclate cake--a bit overpriced, but good. I loved that I was able to try the two wines I was debating between (a Pino Grigio and a Sauvignon Blanc) which allowed me, surprisingly, to chose the latter. The bar tender even made a perfect keoke coffee-- a recipe that seems to stump many! Bistro 1828 remains our 'go-to' for a special occasion--one of the few local seacoast restaurants whose food, service, atmosphere lives up to the its prices! (Our table was in front of a drafty door--the only reason for the 4 star--get a back or side table!)Parking: We lucked out on a cold night to sang a spot right next to the resturant, but there is also a bog lot across the street.“

“The place was busy only 2 or maybe 3 servers we waited 20 minutes and lisa the head chief came out and ask if we needed menu's and she also got us our drinks and also took our food order. The food was great and so was lisa.Thank you lisa your the best!“

“Checked out Dwyer’s Pub on a whim and it quickly became a favorite. The vibe is cozy and the staff make you feel like a local the second you step in. Loved the draft list - diverse and full of quality picks. The fish and chips? Spot-on crispy and flavorful. Dwyer’s is the kind of place that turns a quick drink into an evening out. Can’t wait to return!“

“Dined at Seaglass for first time to celebrate my daughter's birthday. There were six of us. I gave it 4 stars vs 3 based on atmosphere, views and experience. Restaurant was not full on Friday night so we sat by the window. Views of the ocean and waves even at night are amazing. Restaurant itself has a great vibe and nice lighting. Food and service were not as great. Good for an average restaurant but for a $500 bill, I'd expect a higher level of service and food quality. Service was somewhat slow and not as attentive as you'd expect, but server was friendly and doing her best. Our group had a range of entrees from lobster rolls to filet and baked haddock. Lobster rolls were excellent, as was the burger. Haddock was just OK and catch of the day was average. Entrees only come with 1-2 small sides, no salads. I'd visit again for the views of the ocean and recommend sticking with a more basic entree for the price.“

“My husband and I sat at the bar- enjoyed impeccable service as we watched oysters being shucked in front of us. I had Welfleet oysters fresh and delish, and we both enjoyed bowls of perfect NE clam chowder! All of this paired with a Maine Lunch it was the perfect supper in a fun and chic atmosphere!“

“Love this place! Patty melt and fried Chicken sandwich are favs! Service always a pleasure. Staff is amazballs.Surprised by previous review from Chris. Did he ask beforehand if they could accommodate his dietary restrictions? Also, it’s illegal for many restaurants to allow outside food into their establishment. I’m sure if he had asked before miscommunication could’ve been avoided.“

“I read another review where the person said that everything on the menu has a special touch and I totally agree. Everything is so good here. I've gotten 2 different pizzas and the chicken cordon blue (all different visits) and it was all over the top good! I'm currently eating leftover chicken Broccoli Alfredo pizza from there and its the best pizza I've ever had. They have really tasty drinks too. 10/10 recommend!“

“Excellent atmosphere, drinks, and service! What a hidden gem that we are so glad we stumbled upon this past week. So sorry to hear that a developer who owns the strip this fun beach bar is located on will be tearing everything down to put up brand new condos. Where are the people who buy those condos going to go for fun? Please save The Dolphin! Music, game nights, and great atmosphere to hang out and enjoy the ocean views while meeting and mingling with some great people!!“

“We showed up they said we probably wouldn't be seated for an hour. They seated us right away. It was our third time having Hot Pot at the Pink Bamboo. But our daughters' friends first time ever. The service is always really good and the food is so delicious.“

“First of all, what a cool spot! Santiago's is one the most cozy bars I've been to. I ordered a few of the tacos in different varieties and they were awesome. You can taste the freshness. Amazing flavor, cooked perfectly...had to save the spicy shrimp taco for my wife. She loved it. The Margarita was smooth and unique. They don't use sour mix and you can feel the difference. Just go there and you will be delighted too.“

“What you see is what you get at the Navy Yard. To me, that's a plus. You know from the jump, you're looking at a judgement-free atmosphere, where you'll be more than equipped to play a game of pool or throw some darts. The drinks are on point as well. Now, if you're feeling really wild & crazy, upon your visit, there is always an ample selection of tunes for you to Karaoke-on-Along with.“

“State Street Saloon is one of those places that make you feel welcomed. Good food at reasonable prices. Going strong forever in good times and hard times . It defines the true Portsmouth, old school, hard working town that has seen a lot of changes since my parents moved here in 1979.“

“Excellent venue for small intimate music concerts. The venue is divided into two floors allowing to separate shows to happen at the same time.The upstairs space is filled with comfy lazy boy chairs and sectional sofas. Yet there is still lots of room to roam the floor to meet people. Local patrons are warm and welcoming,Very clean restrooms.Bar and wait staff all super nice, Drinks are reasonably priced but the food menu is very limited, aka there's nothing substantial enough for dinner.Dress is super casual.Parking is limited.If we lived closer we would become regulars.“

“The food was solidly good, however nothing compelling enough to crave. The staff was very attentive and nice. Unfortunately, it was really loud. I would not go if you want a romantic or high-end feel. There are many better restaurants around the seacoast, but it wasn't bad by any stretch.“
