The food was good and the service and atmosphere were ok. Only had 2 people waiting and serving, and they were backed up. They charge a 15% service fee for call in takeout, that's not even through a food service like grubhub or Uber eats. So be aware.

Amazing beer selection. Try the fried chicken and Mac and cheese.UPDATE: Still great beer and whiskey (they have a whiskey flight of the day). The food is super tasty - kudos to their kitchen staff, Cocktails are good, but be picky about what you choose; it's all small cube ice for example. Though they have several cocktails on the menu, I wouldn't call this a 'cocktail bar'. One exception: Samuel's Porch is awesome if you like ginger.This is a really good local bar restaurant, but it's not the place I'd go if I'm looking for an out there taste experience. The atmosphere is comfortable, the people are friendly, the bartender will talk to you if you want and leave you alone if you want. Live music happens on the weekends sometimes.

As always, Gosport is awesome. Their burger was especially fanstastic this time, as was the Chiopotle Peach BBQ sauce, and I should mention, they also have all the good bourbon in stock - even Blanton's! My fav go-to in Downtown Portsmouth!

I am writing to bring attention to a concerning misconception regarding the uniform policy for military personnel at Gosport Tavern. It has come to my attention that some members of the military have been led to believe that they must be in uniform in order to receive service at the restaurant, despite this not being a requirement.The restaurant's menu states, We offer a 10% discount to uniformed military and emergency service members. However, it is important to clarify that military personnel are not required to be in uniform to avail themselves of this discount. Military uniforms are not liberty uniforms.This misconception has caused confusion and inconvenience for military members who may not always be in uniform while off duty. It is crucial that the restaurant clarifies its policy to ensure that all eligible individuals, regardless of their attire, can benefit from the discount offered.I urge the Gosport Tavern General Manager Aaron Brickner to investigate this matter and work with the restaurant to ensure that their policies are clearly communicated and aligned with fair and inclusive practices for all military patrons.Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I visited this restaurant for the first time, I sat at the bar with my partner on a Friday lunch. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger medium and received a burger and chips that were visibly overcooked. The burger had char on top and was cooked completely through. When I showed the bartender she initially agreed that the food should be redone. I waited patiently for the replacement and received a burger that was raw in the middle, had no bacon and no chips. The burger was mostly rare with raw meat in the middle, i don't believe that it reached a safe temperature for consumption.I reminded the bartender that the chips were overcooked and she replaced them with fries after initially saying "they can't just replace my whole meal." The entire experience was disappointing and off putting.

We had a large group and were having difficulty finding a good spot to eat on a Saturday night. So happy to find Gosport Tavern. Daniel got us set up right away and proceeded to be a fantastic server in every way. Service was exceptional and every dish we had was outstanding from the poutine and wings to the fried green tomatoes. We loved the laid-back, friendly atmosphere and if we didn't live thousands of miles away, would probably be back on a weekly basis. Highly recommended!
