    Nice pub with some great food…read more I got the Haddock Sandwich ($17 as of 5/2026) which was light and crispy. Haddock was cooked perfectly and the fries that came with it were great (I enjoyed their honey mustard which you can request on the side). Their chicken sandwiches also looked awesome and I'd give that a go the next time I was here.

    If I lived in Portsmouth, Dwyer's would definitely be one of my go to places. Just off the main…read morestreet, this Irish Pub is welcoming, has a great draft selection, and great food. We visited on Friday night and sat at a table as the bar seating was pretty packed. Crowd was pretty chill - a mixture of people in their 20's having drinks & apps, and then older couples/families enjoying dinner. We were happy to see Smithwicks on the draft menu, and we also got a Downeast cider with a caramel/cinnamon rim. We ordered the house made mozzarella sticks, which were ginormous, crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and all around delicious. We all opted with different types of burgers - sliders, fried chicken, and a pub burger. All were served with fries and were perfectly cooked. The coating on my fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. Service was awesome - our glasses were never left empty! Best of all, Dwyers has a free jukebox packed with favorites. Looking forward to coming back on our next visit to Portsmouth - we'll definitely be trying the deviled eggs, wings, and fried oreos!

Quick receipt of our meals/appetizer. ***HUGE portions, wonderful varied menu. Mozzarella triangles were perfectly fried and the pesto/balsamic vinegar dressing paired perfectly.

Whether you're in the mood for a boiled dinner like gram used to make, seafood trio, beef stew in a bread bowl, salad with grilled peaches, or a standard Reuben, you are guaranteed to find something off the menu for everyone, that is sure to please. I've brought many friends and family there over the years, and it never disappoints!
