It’s a terrible dive bar. The atmosphere is dated and dusty, the air quality is poorly ventilated, the food is old, the staff is incredibly rude (they don’t let people in after 12:15a), and the pool tables eat quarters. It’s the worst place I’ve had the displeasure of stepping into in years.

Despite showing my valid ID, the bouncer refused to let me in without giving any reason. I’ve been to Daniel Street before and have never encountered an issue until now. What deeply concerns me is that I felt I was treated unfairly due to my ethnicity, as an Asian. The way I was spoken to and dismissed was not only disrespectful but gave the impression of discrimination. No customer should ever be made to feel unwelcome or judged based on their race. I hope you take this matter seriously and ensure your staff treats all patrons with fairness, professionalism, and basic human decency.

Bartenders serve out of order have an attitude

Whether you are from out of town and want to experience Portsmouth, or a local who wants to come to a bar where everybody knows your name, this is the place. The recent addition of the lobster roll elevates it to the next level, having tried it it is the best deal going. Delicious and fresh!

Great dive bar that’s stepping its game up with a brand new patio, overhauled summer menu, and karaoke 6 nights a week. Come for the new vibes, stay for the old ones (pool tables and cheap drinks!).

I couldnt believe the outside of D Street (Daniel Street Tavern) today. It has an outside seating area (very clean and welcoming) as well as a NEW Food Menu. I couldnt believe how tasty the 1/4 pound lobster roll was (came with Coleslaw, pickle and small bag of chips) for $20. The alcohol free Bloody Mary was spicy/tasty and a good addition to the role. They have many deals on alcohol but also lots of non alcohol options (pop, juices and non alcoholic beer). Place is very clean and server VIVI is on her Game!!! So much more then a Dive Bar!!!!

Bouncer discriminated against my gay African-American friend and wouldn’t let us into the bar

Best place ever. Marge, her sons, the rest of the staff are all amazing people who look out for their patrons. From the drink list, the atmosphere, the pizza, karaoke, pool tables, it's all 10/10. One thing I took notice to, was the male staff are protective of female patrons, keeping an eye on them/their drinks and any situations that may be uncomfortable. Aleays checking in to make sure patrons are enjoying their time. Ifeel so safe here, as a woman going out alone, I won't go anywhere else. And I have met some lifelong friends here, which I am insanely thankful for. If you want to find your chosen family, go down to Dstreet!! The tavern also just got some renovations done as well. It's looking sharper than ever! Don't listen to the bad reviews, they probably did something to get kicked out and are being bitter. Highly recommend Daniel Street Tavern!!

Local spot for sure. The floors were sticky, and the food was good. We were in and out on a Saturday afternoon for a quick bite, but you could tell good times are had here.
Kid-friendliness: It's a dive bar with live music.

On Saturday they do karaoke but unless you pay to jump the line they will purposely “forget” about you. This has happened 3 different nights. Wear a bachlorette sash or grease the palms.
Great venue for karaoke.
