We sat at the bar to have a drink and have a bite to eat before going upstairs to see a band. The food was great, attentive and friendly service. Great place to see local bands!

We stopped in after dropping a child off at school and this burger was BANANAS! It was light and amazingly delicious.
They had a band upstairs on this Sunday night but we thought we’d eat in the downstairs area and enjoyed the old school hip hop music.
The chicken sandwich was one of the worst chicken sandwiches I've ever had. It was burnt, and the skin slid right off after 1 bite. The service was slow, but I think there was only one waitress for the entire first floor. The server was very kind and helpful, which was in stark contrast to the feckless guy at the door . Drinks were OK. It's somewhat expensive for the area.

This is one of my favorite bars in Portsmouth, but I recently went for a beer and was told the new owner cut happy hour! I’m really disappointed. The new owner wants the Press Room to remain a place for locals rather than another tourist hub, but this is a great way to alienate your local customer base. Guess I’ll need to find a new place to go for an after work drink.

We saw a live performance here. Set up differently as there are 3 floors here, flights of stairs between. There were no floor seats available so we sat at the bar. Food was great, drinks were good. A little cramped for my taste, but good ambiance.

Asked for water for my walk home. Was told it was illegal for me to take water to-go (I work downtown, I know it’s legal) and to have them laugh at me as I go. I had terrible service and left immediately after showing my id. I have never had worse service than tonight (8-22).
