29 Best Sports Bars near Portsmouth

“This is definitely a locals bar with a fun and friendly atmosphere. We were there specifically to hear the band. There are lots of tv's, a big bar and tables and some electronic dart boards. This is the kind of place that everyone knows your name. Loved it. We had good service - maybe a tad slow but they were getting busy and she was training someone. We ordered the teriyaki wings and chicken basket. My husband said the wings were really good. And they were big and juicy. Another couple joined us and we shared and they said the same thing. No less then orders of 10. The chicken basket was just ok. The fries were cold and the chicken a bit overdone. The prices were reasonable too. I didn't feel like anything was overpriced. And they have a HH until 7. I think it's drinks only. No food specials....but I could be wrong. If you like a good, locals bar then stop in. Nothing fancy. I think my husband and I will be returning again.“

“Ate here for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised at the delicious food, hospitality of the entire staff, cleanliness and overall new lunch establishment right beside St Julians Creek Annex !!!!“

“excellent service! food was awesome.. Buffalo Shrimp & Fried Flounder..Perfect“

“We stopped at Griff's to celebrate Saint Patty's Day and MEAC. We did not eat this time even though I've previously had their food and can say it's decent bar food. The Chef Lonnie wings are amazing. A play on a sweet and spicy wing. They had Saint Patty Day drink specials which included $5 Jameson shots and $5 Green tea shots. I was sold! They also featured a list of specialty drinks specifically for Saint Patrick's Day. The Orange Irish Mule was amazing! It's spacious on the inside with pool tables on one side. They also offer smoking outside on the patio“

“Nice place to visit with friends. They have happy hour specials and really great wings. The music was LOUD, but if you're there to dance, go for it!!! Overall, it's a really nice and mature crowd. Recommend for an evening out with friends.“

“Fries salty & shrimp wet! Who sends someone this to eat. My co-worker tried to eat it but he could not either. $24 waste & missing item“

“We had a great lunch from The Orapax Restaurant and Bar on Friday. The pizza was delicious (as always) and they have the BEST greek salad. I love to stop in and pick up lunch when I have jobs in Norfolk. #supportlocal #norfolkva #fridaylunch“

“Was luckily enough to experience this places catering at a wedding I attended this weekend. The professionalism was off the charts. The food was of amazing quality and was definitely delicious. Highly recommend this spot and it's owners!“

“My wife and I are regulars at Woody's on Battlefield. We had dinner and drinks, listened and danced to the live music on a recent Saturday night. They can be crowded on nights when they have live music. We usually get there a couple of hours before the band starts. It is always a friendly atmosphere and fun experience. Servers, especially Brenna are highly customer focused and efficient.“

“It's Sharks now, but has kept up (if not somehow improved) the reputation for great food, service and vibes over the many years I've been going here.Karaoke is top notch, and the food is amazing, well priced and a good portion.Highly recommend the wings, and if they're still doing them when you come by, the fried zucchini bites. Salads are highly recommended here as well.The staff are all friendly and do great work, shame I can only give 5 stars!Parking: There's a decently large lot here, but on karaoke/pool league nights it can still get full. Show up a bit early or use a rideshare service/carpool if you can!“

“Loved it great party space and friendly staff“

“Welp, where do I start. Chrissie is the main reason why I go to Long Shots. 1st time I got here. I felt like I was going to be treated as an outsider. NOT AT ALL!! She definitely made it feel like back home in Texas. (Homie). I will continue coming to this bar as long as she works! Also for those that don’t know this place or are interested in coming. You should definitely stop by. The Vibes are great and so is this Mixologist!I’m really bad at thank yous. But here it is!!“

“I am down in the local area for business and this place pops up as a recommendation.So first thing first, this place is inside the Ice Rink which is pretty awesome.Second thing is, if you are expecting Canadian style poutine, this might throw you for a loop. But give it chance.They use fried cheese curds and a beer glaze. But it's still pretty dang tasty.I will make this a stop whenever I am down here for now on.“
