Our host sat us right away, drinks were fabulous, and all the meals were absolutely amazing! (I had the caribbean grilled swordfish.)

“Gas Light in Portsmouth, NH, offers a lively and inviting atmosphere perfect for enjoying a casual meal or drinks with friends. The exposed brick and wood-fired stone oven create a cozy yet energetic vibe that captures the essence of downtown Portsmouth. I was impressed by the attentive and friendly service, with bartenders who were attentive without being intrusive. The menu features crowd-pleasers like wood-fired pizzas, including their specialty Gaslight pizza, which had a pleasantly crispy crust and flavorful toppings. The chicken wings were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned, making them an excellent starter. I enjoyed the warmth and vibrant feel of the pub setting, which also offers live entertainment and a dog-friendly patio—a great spot if you're visiting with pets. Prices felt fair given the generous portions and quality. While some reviews mention occasional kitchen delays or food inconsistencies, my experience was smooth and satisfying. It’s a nice spot to unwind after a day exploring Portsmouth, with good drink options and a welcoming ambiance. I would recommend Gas Light if you’re looking for a lively, local dining experience with solid pub fare and good company. The one downside might be the busier times when service can slow, but overall it’s a dependable choice for casual dining in the neighborhood.“

“Went on Sunday. Was a bit nervous because of the varied reviews however, we are so glad we tried it. The iced tea was fresh and strong, my pancakes were big and fluffy loaded with blueberries. The staff was attentive but they do seem a little frazzled. The restaurant is clean and spacious and again the food was great.“

“never had a bad meal they will make it your way great family place young and very old not overpriced $3 beers owner Theresa, makes everyone feel welcome, even 1st timers need a home away from home, it's here“

“The “sea-cuterie” was a great value and one of the most memorable seafood platters I've ever had - because of the unique pineapple mignonette! Erin was very attentive and walked us through menu hits. The rest of the staff was great, too. Highly recommend for a nice dinner at Hampton Beach. Our family has been coming here to the Ashworth, and the Breakers, for over 40 years and it never misses!“

“Local’s has become one of my favorite places to eat on the seacoast! Wings are amazing, drinks are excellent, beer is cold and the pizza is out of this world. Don’t sleep on the salad because they have some real gems. Philly egg rolls are my favorite app too. The best quality is how friendly they are and it truly is a local vibe. I had my mother’s mercy meal there and everything was done with care and to perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate her life. Definitely check them out sometime, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Local’s for being a wonderful business in so many ways!“

“My husband I have been going every Friday for dinner for over a year. We could see changes that we did not like after they changed managers,but still, we enjoyed the fact that one particular Server knew my husband's food allergy and was careful to check with the kitchen. After a year of being good customers who tip generously, we had one last discouraging experience with Red's . They have little regard for good customers.“

“Looking at the outside my husband and I thought we were underdressed, but once inside it was cozy. We were sat near the bar and fire place. The food was incredible, staff was super friendly and the place was clean. I highly recommend stopping!“

You got a wonderful place! I just can't say enough great things to say. You are more than welcome to share our experience! Thank you and your staff for the best hospitality!“
