Even though it doesn't seem possible, they offer more than just 116 great beers on tap! They have a full bar PLUS a great lunch and dinner menu too (even stuff for kids!) Try the food!
Jon HoffmanApril 8, 2022Really enjoyed this place. Staff was great and tap options are fantastic. They have some bottles and I think if/when they can expand on that it would be even better here. Definitely recommend it here.
Luciano SilvaDecember 29, 2017Nice bar with many options on tap! Try some IPA! I don’t remember what I’ve tried, but all of them were good. Great pretzel on hang!
Portsmouth's official hesher free zone right in the heart of downtown Portsmouth! I give this place a BIG 8 out of 10 on the coolness chart!
#Apparently if you ask for a #BlackandTan you actually get a #BlackandBlue (blueberry beer).
Elena InesAugust 14, 2014The nachos are huge, easily a meal in their own. Keep eating, though, so you can keep trying their beers!
Jackie ToddMarch 22, 2016Good food & a lively atmosphere. Plus great deals. Always a laid back & fun time.
Brittany Hardin TanguayJanuary 11, 2016So much beer... It will take a while to go through the menu to make a decision.- Johanna VossDecember 11, 2012Lots of beer selection, a couple different ciders and (expensive) GF beer (not including the Red Bridge) $3 domestics on Monday night.
Tons of beers to choose from and often great bands.
Chris VaughnOctober 25, 2013Beer selection is second to none. Paige our waitress was very knowledgeable about the beer.
One beer to rule them all, rogue dead guy. Well, to rule them all tonight at least... Highly recommend it
Madeleine KaneDecember 27, 2012Never seen so many beers on tap-amazing! And wings-YUM! Manager Brian such a sweetheart too!
frank hwangOctober 5, 2012Watch out if they "accidentally" add some beers to your bill. I always thought the accidental pour was free.
Gave this place a number of shots. Lots of variety but limited beer knowledge from the staff. A so so menu poorly executed by a lazy kitchen. I really wants this place to be good, but they got worse.
Don't be in a hurry. Bring cash for faster exit. Good beers on tap.
Kelly CoteAugust 18, 2013Don't order mixed drinks from the tall guy bar tender. He will throw a fit and refuse to make you better drinks when the first drinks sucked to begin with. Stick to the beer!
Ted PenningsDecember 21, 2012Go somewhere else. Bad service, bad food, inaccurate tap lists and overrun with annoying frat guys on weekends. Don't bother.

"Live music 7-days a week & great beer what's not to like? Did I mention the Guinness beer-battered fish & chips are bomb? If you did not participate in Greek-life in college this is the place for you."
