Cocktail Bars near Portsmouth

“Best Pizza in the 757! Absolutely adore this place. The people that work here are so friendly, we always have the best service. You can tell they are very passionate, and really care about the ingredients that go in their food.“

“I attended the grand opening on Saturday!I'm only taking off 1 star due to service being slow. I believe two waitresses were in rotation and we had Raven taking care of us. Us as in a party of 6!Although it was a grand opening, it took longer than usual to receive apps and cocktails. Nevertheless, this will not steer us away from this new spot, because the vibe is sexy, chill and lit at the same time.For the grand opening, a live band was performing and they were awesome! The lead singer was even working the room. Such a treat!My friends and I decided to try the cocktails and a few menu items.Items ordered: jerks flats, Mac and cheese and crab spinach dip, seafood cakes and seafood mac!Everything was delicious!I am looking forward to returning soon to try some other menu items. The steaks, porkchops, salmon... oh yes!! The menu looks very tempting.My lemon drop was on point. My husbae had crown and sprite, his was straight and a friend had an old fashioned, on point too!I highly recommend you go! They have a weekly happy hour too!Parking - we were blessed to find parking on the street. But there are parking garages nearby.Have fun and enjoy life :)“

“Security was very professional and respectful, I really appreciated that. It is good to have customer service before you even enter the establishment. Our server was pleasant, and it didn't take long for our food to come out (very fresh and hot). The spinach was excellent, and the crab egg rolls were delicious. Salmon was really good, pasta wasn't what I expected, it was just fair. Drinks were on point.“

“Bar staff are friendly and welcoming“

“Beautiful atmosphere and great service. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because the ribeye steak was not good. It was served cut in multiple pieces and swimming in the “Sauce au Poivre.” Any flavor of the steak was completely lost due to the soup it was in.Other members of my party had better luck with their main course selection. The Halibut was devine. Ranks with some of the best meals I’ve ever had. The scallops were perfection. The chef blended flavors SO well. I also recommend the duck. It is served with vegetables that complement the meat so well.The desserts were fantastic- very complex flavors and well done. Order the chocolate martini! You won’t regret it.Overall a great place for a special occasion.“

“Came here for my wife’s birthday and booked the private room. Where do I start?? 1. Private room is amazing and sets a new standard for the area. 2. The food could not have been better. The pork ribeye marsala is probably the best thing I have had in a long time ! 3. Tony and the staff knocked it out of the park and if you have not been yet stop reading now and book your reservation.“

“Omg where do I start!!! Me and my wife came Friday the 16th!! We didn’t have a reservation and I promise you I suggest making one especially on I house guess the weekend. We decided to sit at the bar instead of a window seat I also let the host know if someone cancels or if a Hi top come available please let us know. After 2 cocktails in which was amazing we got lucky got a seat! All you could see was the kitchen door flying open lol as the waitresses was bringing dishes I mean we only do fine dining when we eat out but I honestly wasn’t expecting something at this caliber seriously, you know we eat alot of places and sometimes the food just doesn’t be seasoned the way you expected especially if its plated nicely. Because it’s true we eat with our eyes first! But let me tell you!!! Goddd KISS THE CHEF!! The Owner, Owners whoever lol because every aspect was on point from service to atmosphere it really was unbelievable! I felt like I was in a major city!! Miami especially because I’ve had the oxtail lasagna there so I advised my wife to get that and I got the 37oz Tomahawk for 2 top with crab meat lol I love a good steak seriously. We didn’t get any appetizers because I wanted to save my appetite and my mental was in my pocket lol if you know what I mean but a $100 for a tomahawk with roasted potatoes it was no way I wasn’t gonna have that for dinner and some left for breakfast with cheese eggs in the morning lol Now when my steak came out! I ordered medium in which I expected to see pink because medium requires pink and who orders a well done steak anyway??? I mean it was cooked and seasoned to perfection with roasted potatoes and onions OMG I’M GOING BACK THERE!! Soon!! I taste my wife oxtail lasagna because she just kept saying how much better it tasted here lol so I did and she wasn’t exaggerating I mean the pasta sauce was sweet with garlic Omg how did they make a sauce that good and it had tomato chunks in it not the big crazy chunks but just perfect everything was PERFECT THIS PLACE DESERVES A MICHELIN⭐️ if thats possible in this area Ive ate in numerous countries because of my military background but this place is one for the books!!“

“Attended soft opening today. Ate at the bar. Food was great. Menu is filled with a great variety. Staff was well trained. Looking forward to trying more Menu items.“

“I am not a big drinker, but the wife is. Tried a flight that had Ghost whiskey. Aged bourbon, Key Lime moonshine, Peach moonshine. Ended up taking a bottle of the Key Lime home. They were also nice enough to let her sample the rum barrel aged bourbon. Had they had any, that would have come home with us also.“

“The food and service here is phenomenal!!!!!!!!!! Been here twice with my husband—bartender is on point ( of course), and our server (both times), Brandice, was amazing. We eat ourselves stupid here, it’s so good. Highly recommend this place as a date destination.“

“Food was delicious cute little place. But very expensive for the amount of food you get I paid about $60 for my 3 items which was a bread pudding with two pieces of bacon and ice cream, quiche and salad, and a toast with salmon that I ordered to go. Not big portions for it to cost so much but it was good.“

“Discovered this place on yelp while looking for libations in the area… it is perfect! Low-key & casual; Even at its busiest the noise level was pleasant. There is an ample selection of tasty food and even better drinks. The staff was friendly & helpful- addressing every inquiry while choosing a mezcal. They have the best tequila selection I’ve come across so far (many additive free options). I’ve already recommended it to anyone who will listen ? and I will definitely return as well.“

“This place is the bomb! We had a family event and Caroline should be voted not only the manager of the month, but of the year! Her wait staff gave us the attention and served us like we have never been served in the past from any other establishment! The food was great and served on time! Again, kudos to manager Caroline and her wait staff for a positive and pleasant experience!“

“honestly 10/10 experience, even on opening night! the lemon chicken was sooo delicious. we are so excited to have a new spot in the neighborhood! the staff/owners/management seems so welcoming and accepting to all different types of people, which is another great sign.“

“I have been twice now & the vibes and food were on point both times! 2 for 2! The service is quick & they will let you & your friend/partner sit and talk well after your meal is done. They do not rush you out at all. Definitely recommend!“
