Cool local place. A bit noisy sometimes, so if you want a post work or post event place to talk (rather than to drink) you should probably go elsewhere.

My gf and I came for lunch around 230, no problems with a bouncer and staff were all nice, professional, and courteous.Now, the real star of the show was the food. We ordered the hummus board and the fish and chips. The hummus is made in house and served with a veggie mix and house made pitas. We both loved the hummus and pitas, both were very delicious. The fish was also very well done, nice and flaky. Only issue, very small, was the breading on the fish was, in places, a little oily.F- the pain away, the mix drink I had, was very good.

Always fabulous, but top-notch Guinness on draft, corned beef Reubens,, & boiled dinner on St. Patrick's Day. My 1st day out via wheelchair after surgery & the servers & staff were beyond kind. Thank you

The staff was super friendly and the music was great. From the moment I walked in I felt like I was home. Everyone was inviting and kind. The food looked great so i asked what time they served until and instead of hearing "I don't know" from the (clearly) new hire she said "hold on a second I'll find out". The bartenders smiled at everyone, handled the crowd, and totally hooked it up. Can't wait to come back! Super big thanks from RI.

Love these little hole in the wall venues you are able to actually see the band that's playing and interact with others that are there! Love the old building and all of its amazing features!

Went there for the music but had dinner too, typical bar food menu BUT way better quality than most! Fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. Impressive draft beer list with local NH & Maine beers. The stage set up is awesome!Parking: We opted for street parking 100 yards from the venue for only $2 per hour, free after 8pm

Bacon bacon bacon. Found this by chance after all the typical breakfast places were packed. Sat at the bar and they crushed it. Did I mention the bacon?

Things were fine until the end of the night. Won't be back. Apparently they allow lots of cocaine to be done in the bathroom. If you love blow, this is the place for you!!!
Paid for 2 tickets for a Brunch music event but arrived and no tables available and no space at the bar. Couldn't really do 'Brunch' standing up so left..maybe overbooked or less tables than expected. Ho hum.

This looks like a bit of a dive when you walk in. But it is actually decent. I would have loved to give it 5 stars, but the food was in need of some help this evening. Ordered the Down East Cider. Very good. Sweet with a tart finish. Next ordered the chili. Came out nice and warm, full of meat. Decent taste, lots of heat. Red pepper flakes in my teeth after eating it. Yummy. Entrees for both of us were the steak tips. They were served with a potato and seasonal veggie. Tonight was grilled Brussel sprouts. The sprouts were good. Not a big fan of them so congrats there. The steak tips were ordered medium. Some parts were medium well, others were barely medium rare. Not very warm either. Likely sitting in a cool area too long. Cook did not flip the pieces right either because one end was over cooked and one end was under cooked on multiple pieces. Did not catch that until digging into our second pieces each. I order medium in hopes things come out on the plus side of medium rare. Seems no cook can get the cooking right on these. Service was good. Frequent checks with us. Do not come here looking for a lot of variety. Come here for a decent priced meal but make sure it is cooked right.

Great place in town to grab a bite and a drink. Brunch here is fantastic, best fried chicken sandwich in town. They host some of the best live music and DJs in Portsmouth at night. 10/10
