Great watering hole, ton of beers on tap, plenty of good grub to choose from, two bars upstairs and one with live tunes downstairs. We stop here on our way up to our Maine cottage at least once a month. Lively bar, usually packed with college kids or tourists looking for a hopping spot. It’s a long narrow restaurant with plenty of bar room (fills up quick), high top tables (fill up quick), or standing room (also fills up quick). This place is the spot to be if your looking to turn up or pre gram. Tunes are always playing, ton of big TVs for the game, maybe 50 beers on draft, and the best smoked wings around. We started with a couple brews, I got a local IPA and switched over to heavy poured jack and coke, perfect. We got the wings (sauce on the side, saucing these is a true sin), added some moose rolls that were tasty, and really good buff chick dip. The grub was so good I forgot to snap pics. Service was great, bartenders are friendly and attentive but not bothersome. Only thing, parking can get rough cuz dtown Portsmouth can get craZy. But don’t let that stop you.

During our recent day trip, we enjoyed lunch at the Thirsty Moose before heading home. This restaurant has an impressive selection of beer, cider, hard seltzer, a full bar, and non-alcoholic drinks. Their expansive bar is backed by a continuous wall of TVs and more dot the walls of the dining areas. The open restaurant has plenty of seating, especially along the bar. Their menu has all the classic pub food, some with an inventive twist and clever names. They have a gluten-free menu available but not a dedicated fryer. I really enjoyed my cauliflower crust Greek pizza, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the Bullwinkle burger and was able to upgrade it to two patties. Our server, Sean, was attentive, friendly, and made sure our experience was perfect. This is an excellent location to stop by for a meal for solo guests, couples, families, or groups. We'd definitely come back to Thristy Moose the next time we're in the area.

We were looking for a good place to grab lunch and a beer. Happened to come across this place while walking through the center of Portsmouth and decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is fantastic (narrow space with exposed brick and mirrors) and the staff are great (lots of great energy, polite and efficient). I ended up getting a Rocky Burger with fries. Easily the best tasting burger I've had in a very long time. The burger is made with a house dry rub which perfectly seasons it. It also has fantastic onion rings made with red onions, crispy bacon,cheese and a sweet BBQ sauce on a brioche bun. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned (not too salty). My friend opted for the pulled pork sandwich and she said it was fantastic! Our beers were perfectly poured and tasted great! The prices are reasonable and we'll gladly come back!

Can’t wait to come back! Kylie was great! These guys have the best and longest beer menu I’ve ever seen. So many beers on tap. And a great food menu too. I loved their poutine fries and hot dog sliders.

Tons of beers to choose from! For as busy as it was, the food came out quickly and was delicious. The service was excellent and staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend!!
