    The GOAT Burger
    Dana R.

    While in Portsmouth for a work trip, I stopped by Earth Eagle Brewings and was seriously impressed. I ordered the goat burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and paired it with their Cassowary Lager -- crisp, refreshing, and a great match for the burger. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a fun, laid-back vibe that makes you want to linger. Friendly staff and great conversation made it even better. A must-visit if you're into craft beer and good food.

    Pretzel

    Honestly confused by the high average for this brewery. Maybe I'm spoiled my local breweries in CT and MA but this place was nothing special. Not horrible but after trying 4 beers none of them stood out or made me want to bring something home. The pretzel was fine but overpriced for the size and quality. Also, when we arrived the front entrance and bar area looked deserted - all the chairs were up on the tables and bar top. We walked around the corner outside and saw a small seating area. A little confusing, we weren't sure where to go or what to do. Turns out you just seat yourself and they'll come out to you from the other bar area in back. Service was fine but the long back and forth meant longer than expected wait times just for a beer. Would I go back? Nah, but if you're walking by maybe you'll find a pint you enjoy.

    Found this little brewery walking around downtown Portsmouth on a rainy day. We had popped into several boutiques to kill time and stay dry, so it was nice to stumble upon a nice watering hole to change things up! My boyfriend and I both got a flight and between the two of us we tried most of the beer on tap. Reasonably priced (I think $12 for 4 beer samples). They had a little of everything and all had a good flavor, there wasn't one that we didn't like. My boyfriend's favorite was the New England Gangsta (IPA) and mine was a sour... I'm the worst and forgot the name but it was a very mild and enjoyable sour that didn't leave you smacking your lips. We didn't try the food, but it all looked good from what was coming out around us. They have a "dog" side of the menu and a "cow" side... I feel like I'd be team hot "dog" if I did get food as those were best looking of all the food coming out! It was a cozy little place with some bar, table and cozy couch/chair seating. Small and intimate. The lady working was super nice and friendly, and checked on us enough but not to the point of annoyance. Loved the service and atmosphere a lot. If I was a local I would definitely frequent this watering hole! So if you are local, not sure what you're doing still reading this review... get your butt off the couch and go quench your thirst here!

    Review is for beer only. We stopped in this cute place to sit in their cozy beer garden on a nice sunny day and enjoy a beer. Service was great, and the beer was tasty. I liked being able to get a flight of 4, 4 oz beers to taste. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

    Great spot for a burger and beer flight! I absolutely loved the Brethren Code (white coconut stout). It was light, unique, and not overly sweet. Burger was good and the service was friendly. Only con is trying to find parking but that seemed true for the entire area of downtown Portsmouth (it's a cute town; lots of visitors)!

    Burgers were great. Jumbo hot dogs bigger than expected but very good. Love the environment inside, warm dive bar feel. Armadillo Danger was great from the tap.

    A great brewery with some really unique beer options. Small, quaint space inside, and outdoor seating in the summer. Their food is really solid too, especially if you're looking for a simple yet fancy hot dog. Note: their Portsmouth location is closed as of 12/30/24 and they are now solely in Somersworth.

    Absolutely delicious!! This was perhaps the best hot dog I've ever had, burger was also verrrry tasty! This is a really cozy spot with a lot of room for functions or for an intimate dinner or a fun night out with friends. Tucked away on the hill you'd miss it if you weren't looking. Staff was nice too!! I highly recommend the Toto hotdog. Yum!! Nice tap list too.

    Service and cosy vibe was great. While the menu was limited and quite expensive, the burger I had (with extra goat cheese) was fantastic. We really enjoyed their beer and would absolutely come back here for another.

    It you are craving a hot dog then this is your spot! They had lots of unusual but good combos to choose from. My favorite was our appetizer- Goldfish. A child hood favorite and it's still a tasty snack. We sat outside which was a nice area tucked away in the parking lot. Our server was nice and attentive. This was a nice spot. The food definitely hit the spot!

    The service here was too notch! Such a cool place with the nicest people! They have every type of hotdog or burger topping combo you could ever think of! I went a little crazy and tried a hot dog with beet and goat cheese on it and let me tell you it was in the top 3 bed hot dogs I've ever eaten! They also had some really cool beers! Definitely recommend this place! They even had a nice outdoor patio area!

    Are kids allowed in to eat or is it 21+?

    Not really a place for kids, imo.

    Do they have high chairs?

    Sorry Roger, we do not have highchairs currently.

    Visited on 7/19/26 with my wife and dog. Drove up from Rhode Island after seeing the menu,…read moreavailable beers, and learning they were dog friendly. We arrived and sat at a picnic table with an umbrella so our pup could be in the shade. We were having a great time, so excited to be there and amped to try their current taps. Just as our apps were being brought out, a gust of wind lifted the umbrella clear out of the table, spilling my wife's drink and sending the heavy metal umbrella pole directly into my face and chest HARD. My wife, the server, and I were all stunned for a moment. Wife thought I was bleeding until we realized it was rust on my face and chest from the pole. Server asked if I was okay, clearly feeling a little awkward, and with my hand to my face I said "I think so? If I'm not bleeding, I guess?, still totally stunned and feeling some pain. Face throbbing, my wife asked for an ice pack, and the server brought us one. We totally understand that it was a freak accident, and that it wasn't our server's fault. But it got awkward from there as the crew working became avoidant. The girl that sat us saw me teary eyed from the pain, holding the ice pack to my face and asked if we were okay... but that was it. The atmosphere quickly became awkward, and considering the pain I was in combined with feeling totally weird from the staff, we asked for a box to take our uneaten food to go. Server brought our check and we were a little surprised to see that we were still charged for the drinks (one of which had spilled because of the umbrella) and the food. We paid cash, still left a nice tip, and left, wanting to get out of the sun and keep an eye on the swelling. We were really disappointed in how the situation was handled by the crew. We weren't looking for our apps to be comped, but it would have been nice for a manager to come by, apologize, offer to refill my wife's beer, and maybe move us to a different table since we were no longer in the shade. The team didn't go around and check the other tables to make sure the umbrellas were safe and secure, either, which was shocking considering what had just happened. We were really looking forward to hanging out, trying a little bit of everything off the menu, buying some cans or growlers to take home... but we left with a swollen, bruised face and chest and an uneaten $90 box of food that we ended up tossing because the mood was completely ruined. We rarely leave a negative review anywhere, but I guess this is just a PSA to check your picnic table umbrella if you sit outside, and hopefully a learning opportunity for management in how to improve customer service and safety for patrons.

Then we popped over to the restaurant and grabbed a table for some food. We only ordered chicken tenders, which came out quickly and were sweet and crispy. Our server was nice, they were a little disorganized and I think we would sit in the " bar service" area next time and just buy stuff ourself and bring it outside. Overall, good time, nice place and they had beers that were not IPAs so those are all good in my book.

    The Smuttynose Tasting Bar beer garden on a warm, late summer day is just about as good as it gets…read more I'm known to travel long distances to visit breweries with working cats. While Smuttynose doesn't have a cat (that I'm aware of), we were pleasantly surprised to meet the resident good boy, a black lab named Willy! What a treat. He is so friendly and freely roams the bar and beer garden. Cute pup aside, I love their facility. The outdoor area hosts a variety of seating options, including my personal favorite: adirondack chairs. This place would be an ultimate summer hang if I lived closer! You don't even have to go inside to order a beer - just walk up to the order window. I tasted their fall offers: Oktoberfest and Pumpkin Ale. I thoroughly enjoyed both, even purchasing a variety pack to trek home with me that included both the Oktoberfest and Pumpkin Ale. Their flagshop brown ale is called Old Brown Dog, and when we visited, they had a stronger version on tap - Very Old Brown Dog. The Very Old Brown Dog is one of the better strong beers I've tasted in some time. Definitely a sipper, especially if you're driving - but boy, it was smooth and very tasty in spite of it's sub 10% abv. The tasting bar is no frills at it's core, but clean bathrooms, fun merch, and good beer are flowing. There are some snacky foods available for purchase, but their restauarant is just across the parking lot if you're seeking a substantial meal. Lots of parking, great outdoor gathering space, smaller indoor seating area - would be great for summer hangs. Lots of tasty beer and a good doggy await. Smuttynose is one of my favorite breweries I've visited in recent memory.
