We were pretty disappointed with our recent visit. Teeny tiny drinks for $15 was the first strike, and they weren't even that good. I ordered one of their summer special cocktails, and it's served in one of those tall skinny glasses loaded with ice, so it's gone in two sips..and it wasn't even made correctly, super tart and limey. Then we got wings, which were also teeny-tiny. Smallest wings I've ever seen. They were tasty and cooked correctly though. Next strike was the lobster bisque, served luke warm, and just not that good. We also had the Cuban, which was just ok, nothing special. The service was super slow as well. Overall I'd say the food is ok, priced reasonably, but it's nothing special and just doesn't stand out in a crowded field of places serving pub food, and the drinks were very small and $15, and not very good. We are definitely not coming back.

Brought my husband here for lunch on his birthday as we continued on to Portland. There was impromptu live music from a circle of people sitting at the front, complete with instruments... just like I had witnessed in Ireland. Food was very good, attentive wait staff. We parked at a very convenient parking garage, which cost $1 (!!) for our time spent there. Recommend a visit!

It is a tight space, but that was on St. Paddy's Day. We ended getting our food to go (fish and chips, and the reuben with homemade corned beef, delicious). And despite the chaos, the servers and bartenders were attentive to everyone with smiles on their faces. You can't say that all of the time on a very busy night 😉

Dwyer's Pub is a hidden gem in Portsmouth. We wish we discovered this cozy pub sooner. The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for knocking back a few drinks and watching a game at the bar. The free jukebox was fun to play with and unique to the area. The cocktails were exquisite - the GinGin was creative and refreshing. As for the menu - it is small but packed with delicious options. The homemade fried mozzarella and pulled pork taco were the table's favorites. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were awesome! We will be back soon 😊

Old school local Irish pub with a great vibe. Bartender was friendly and fun and the food was great. We a burger and the Cuban sandwich. Both were great. A awesome local feeling.

What a great impression for our first time here! The bartender was so kind and down to earth, and the food was incredible. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts and all were very flavorful. I highly recommend Dwyer's!
We got there too late for food. We'll try again soon..This is my favorite type of local bar like I loved in college. Small bar maybe 15 seats, attentive bartenders, saw about 20 small tables, jukebox, darts out back. Yeah, we will be back. Oh, my friend loved her drink. White Apple mule with cinnamon, my rum and coke was made perfectly. Strong but not enough to get me in trouble..

We liked our food and the waitress was nice but it got very loud very quickly in such a small space.
Came here 2 times before but only for drinks. Ended up getting food this time. Great burger. People I was with had the cuban and chicken sandwich, they said it was good too. But nonchalant waitress doesn’t give you napkins which is very odd. Just takes the order walks away and that’s it.

Vibes and drinks were sooo good. Was looking for a cool Irish bar to hang out in for an hour or so and was pleased to find the Coldest Coronas on this side of the Mississippi. Can’t wait to be back!
