Cisco Brewers Portsmouth is such a consisteny great place. I've here a few times each month since 2022. So many good beers, drinks, and food. The Whale Tale Pale Ale is my go-to. Great flavor and only 5.6% abv. Often food at breweries takes a back seat to the beer. Not so at Cisco Portsmouth. The Boom Boom shrimp, chicken tenders, Brussel sprouts, and egg rolls are all excellent appetizers. Burgers and all the entrees I've had have been great too. Plenty of space inside and out including parking. Outdoor music and tables in the summer. Private event space. The staff is friendly and the service is really good. This place has it all. You should try it

Solid food options, quick service, and needless to say an array of beers.

Phenomenal service, atmosphere, food, there's live music, and we got fed and happy and out of there quick enough to catch our flight at Pease. I highly recommend this place to anyone passing through Portsmouth.

First timer under new brewing company. The greeter was less than friendly, but the food and drink were excellent! The nacho plate was awesome! Will return to try the outdoor dining and entertainment in warmer weather.

Great place a little off the beaten path. My favorite brew is shark tracker. Food is very good, and staff always welcoming.

I went for an event. The event space was nice. They could have used a few more bartenders. But all in all service was awesome and food was pretty good.

Ample parking.Cool interior- very modern, beachy.A LOT of merch.Staff was not overly friendly, actually two waitresses tried tending to our table like a territory issue.The wings were terrible. No seasoning. The Thai chili sauce was on the side and was disgusting!The pretzel was overpriced for the size (we go to a lot of breweries so I feel I know this to be true.)The cheese was super liquidy.The BBQ sauce is very vinegary.The burger was good and so were the onion straws.Curly fries need seasoning.I had a hard time wrapping my brain around he Nantucket push until I asked someone. It's a transplant brewery started in Nantucket. I get it now. Wish it repped Portsmouth a little, seen as we were visiting.
Excellent spot to grab a bite, listen to live music, and enjoy a drink or two. Very relaxed atmosphere with an inviting vibe. Food was excellent as were the drinks. One of the few local breweries that I've been to that pour more than just beer. They were offering specialty fall cocktails when we visited and that made my wife happy?. I wanted to be able to rate their establishment higher but they were out of pretzels and the specific beer I was hoping for?. Couldn't let that one slide. Everyone needs pretzels ? with beer?. Hopefully next time I stop in I'll get the full experience. Nonetheless do not miss out on this experience. It is a great place to visit.

I can’t comment on food as I didn’t order any, but I’ve been a few times for drinks and it’s been fantastic.Their rotating selection of beers is excellent, but we recently were surprised by their mixed drinks. My wife ordered a “Sweater Weather” and considered it one of the best mixed drinks she’s had all season.Overall this location is highly recommended.Kid-friendliness: I’ll also comment on how kid friendly they were. On both times I have been here I have brought my toddler. No issues, lots of patience for her level of activity, and great service in being able to respond to her unreasonable requests for more lemonade. There was also a family there with young children and it seemed very welcoming for them.

We had our wedding here last weekend. The coordinator, Brielle, is a an absolute angel. She made it so easy to book, helped us figure out what we needed, and came through like a freakin champ on the day of. I can't thank her and the staff enough for everything they did. All our friends had a blast and it was hands down one of the best days of my life.
