Stopped in after the season was over and had a good experience. The food was solid, and the menu had enough variety for a casual spot like this. I had the cod on an entree, and my companion had the chicken wrap. Both were solid choices. It has that dive-bar-plus vibe, laid-back but with some energy. Service was good on my visit. Staff were friendly and kept things moving. Inside, there is a basement bar that hosts live music. The setup is fun, but the room is small, and the volume gets pretty loud. It was tough to have a conversation once the artist started playing, so keep that in mind if you're going and want to have a date. The outdoor patio with fire tables looked like a great place to hang out during warmer months. I can see this place being a lively go-to in season, and it still holds up off-season for a casual meal and a drink. Would come back to drink and/or eat, but not on a date. I will go with a round-up 3 1/2 star review. read more

Went here because they have a prime rib dinner special for $12.99 on Thursday's. The food sucked, my other half ordered a turkey sandwich and it smelled spoiled. Again the food sucked, however our waitress was very personable. So bad food but great customer service. I will not be returning. read more

We are regulars at the L. Have always enjoyed their food and drinks at reasonable prices. However today the drinks have spiked in price. A mixed drink off their menu was $16 today. I believe that is the highest price for a simple mixed drink now on the beach. A bucket is $27 there and at another establishment just $16. It's not Hawaii but Hampton L Street. Service was almost nonexistent there as well out on the patio. If you didn't go to the bar for drinks you may never have gotten served. At least they are opening a larger patio soon and it looks like they will be adding larger tables and much more comfortable chairs. At least that is something. read more

It's often a fun place, but this summer is 100% different. The skeleton crew waitstaff is a big issue and it has been in the past. TOo often I have to get a drink at the bar rather than at my outdoor seat. It's the management I blame, not the waitstaff/batenders. They are set up to fail as Jon Taffer would say. The drink prices are staggeringly high for such a location. A rumrunner last year was $10. A 32oz. bucket was $22. Not they are 25% higher! Seems like they are overpricing the drinks to pay for their expansion. Just put more waitstaff on per shift. You can make a lot more money that way than gouging the faithful customers. I estimate you're losing $1000+ an hour during the times you have entertainment. Be smart! read more

A dimly lit basement. Repulsive bathrooms. Food is meh, drinks meh, bartenders fine, karoke can get pretty lit, but ultimately the bouncers in this place are actually awful. I've gone here 3 times this season and each time I've been completely sober and been jostled by their bouncers one time being pushed into the doorframe so hard that my back hurt for 2 days. I wouldn't say I look like I'm a bad guy but they did this to all the obviously gay men we had in our party the 3rd night after we waited in line and they didn't jostle or talk hostile to anyone getting in before us. It was gays night out and we came here and the lesbian woman in our party were let in respectfully just the gay men and trans woman were pushed and barked at unlike the people before us. Maybe put your feelers out if you're queer and thinking of going here. I certainly will not be back. read more

Walked into this establishment and the servers literally didn't acknowledge our existence- stood there for ten minutes and then just left. Do not waste your time. Train your people guys. read more

Love this place. Drinks are ok not bad but we come here for the atmosphere. Live all the games, the band and the fact that there are indoor and outdoor area. Just want to come here every time i go to Hampton! read more

Service was worst I've ever had. Waitress swore at us from start after saying she's taking our id's to back after getting checked at bouncer. I told her this and her response was "I don't give a fuck" . Great way to talk to customers!! Then came back claiming our real ids were fake swearing at us to gtfo. Terrible service. Don't cuss at customers and treat them like shit if u don't want to be cussed at. I will never being going here again and will be letting all my friends and family know about this place. Even after the owner or manager verified ids were real we weren't let back in. Crazy how she swears at us and treats us terrible and there is no consequences and only consequences for the customer that was treated poorly because we gave her the same energy back. Pretty embarrassing this place hasn't fired this lady I've seen a lot of bad reviews on her similar to this. Probably why you guys don't get much business except on weekends. Waitress seems to have to liek to have a power trip and no one under management could care less. Do better read more

Stopped by the beer garden for a beer for the wife and I. 4:30 on a Monday, 2 bottles of domestic, $11.00. I don't know what they call "happy hour" but I don't consider that "happy" Too bad, otherwise a nice place read more

Great bar to pre-party for Hampton Beach Casino shows Good outdoor section too ........

I gave a 5 star review last time ...Boy have things changed... we sat at the bar for over 10 minutes 4 employees walked by us at least 4 to 5 times each ... started to think I was invisible! Finally one girl told another to serve us .. two terrible drinks .. finished them still no one asked our order ..Needless to say we left after waiting 5 minutes for the tab ... used to be our favorite Not anymore!!!! Never ever will I return! read more

We went here specifically for their advertised specials. Of course they don't update their website to get people to come in and then they tell you they cancelled them for the summer. Nobody working and it took 15 minutes to get someone to even notice that we were here. This place used to be our go-to when visiting. read more

First time visiting Hampton in several years. Heard great things about L Street and they didn't disappoint! Went in for lunch today. Recommend their delicious half chicken. Service was exceptional. Thanks Rafael, for making our visit the best stop in Hampton! read more

Go see Kerry Ann! She is the best bartender! Off the street you go down a few steps and into a small but cozy place. It fills up fast because it is a hopping place to hang out. There is an outside smoking area where ppl can bring their drinks. There is an upstairs for dining and tables towards the back as well as the bar. I really enjoyed the BBQ ribs. They are served with a wet BBQ sauces. Mentioning this as some like dry rubs. They have music, karaoke, tv's, Keno machine (DIY) so stop in and say hi! read more

Really good food and drink. The fish and chips is terrific- rivals the fish and chips I've had in British pubs. Breakfast is delicious and well priced. Don't miss this place. read more

What happened to the menu? They used to have a great lobster roll and steaks. Not to mention the granite stone ice cream. Now it's just standard bar fare, which is a bit disappointing. The bartenders are still attentive and the food was decent, but the L Street Tavern used to be a solid 4.5 and is now barely a 3. read more

I've been going to the L Street Tavern for 30 years and the place never changes. A hole in the wall with good strong drinks and good food. There is a new outdoor patio that was added and there is live music every night. Service is good and food is not only cheap but literally never had a bad meal there read more

My friend and I stopped by here for a drink and a little bite to eat, unexpectedly. We sat at the bar and Lori tended to you. This woman is INCREDIBLE. Felt like we had been coming there for years, she treated us so well, made us a fantastic, light drink, and recommended we get the southern Mac and cheese, which was AMAZING. We will absolutely be back next time we venture to Hampton Beach. We love you, Lori! read more

L Street Tavern 603 - Southern Mac and Cheese and a tequila soda drink - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Great place if you like dogs inside and under your table. Not someplace I would want to eat. Service was slow so we went to the Goat.

Do not come here if you don't want to be discriminated against by middle aged racist patrons. As soon as we walked in, my friends and I were criticized for wearing masks. Then when my friends sat down in some open seats next to an older couple, they asked "why are 'these people' here" and said that the only way to deal with "these people" is with a revolver. Very disrespectful and inappropriate to say the least. We brought this up to the bouncers but they took the couple's side and asked us to leave. It's appalling that this establishment condones this kind of behavior. I would not return. read more

I have always loved L St. Tavern but now I'm the biggest fan evah! They are great all year round. Food is great, drinks are delicious and the outside area is sublime. My siblings and I recently had a 50th Wedding Anniversary Party for our parents and L St. was perfect. We rented out the second floor and the food and set-up was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better place or time! I contacted one of the owners Jake and he was so accommodating and easy to talk with via phone/text. My family and I can't thank the owners Jake and Terry enough for everything they did for us. Along with the entire staff!! Shout out to Susie- best bartender ever and all the Security!! Thank again for making our parents 50th even more special! read more

I'm not gonna sit here and promote the cuisine like it's 5* or some shit. It's the atmosphere. How humble and DECENT the staff and bouncers are. I've been here a dozen times now. Not only have I been treated well, I've witnessed others treated well also. Inclusive environment containing every demographic under the sun. Great outdoor dining area, surprisingly talented live performers etc. The cherry on top, burgers and breakfast sandwiches being sold for $5 apiece after last call. I've been to nearly every establishment at Hampton Beach. This is the one that I return to the most. Whatever they're doing, I hope they never change. Cheers. read more

The food was okay. The service was awful. The waitree wouldn't light the gas fireplace and refused to find someone to do it. She never came to get my drink order and was extremely rude. The ambiance is nice. read more

Food is normally pretty good. Went with 4 people on Halloween weekend (huge mistake). Waited for a table for quite a while (even though there was plenty available just all covered in food and cigarettes) and the waitress kept telling us "we are changing the bar over hold on". On top of the fact she looked like a 55 year old strung out meth addict she was also incredibly rude. The table was finally wiped off and she continued to give us an attitude. We ate and then left and we did tip her because I figured she had to pay her probation officer or she needed the money to take her sponsor for coffee. Regardless of the food being good the staff is absolute trash. read more

I went there this afternoon with my daughter and her wife and I am absolutely disgusted with the service at this establishment as well as the manager's (Jake) "problem solving" After experiencing some of the worst homophobia and racism, as well as misgendering, I've seen in a long time, my daughter in law called the owner and he offered us a free appetizer while laughing at her on the phone. I am absolutely disgusted by the staff and the owner and would never recommend anyone to come to this restaurant if you're not Caucasian and heterosexual. I left this restaurant in tears and feeling nothing but heartbreak for my daughter and her wife. read more

The vibes outside w the Caribbean musician was excellent. The food was v v much meh. However it is one star for the fake red haired server who aggressively/violently grabbed my arm as I accidentally walked out w a beer (idk - im not from here! Idk the rules). When I said "hey that was unnecessarily aggressive" after I came back in completely peacefully to finish the beer, she justified herself. So! If you want to catch hands w a trashy bartender - go for it! read more

It's a dive but the food is good. It's mostly bar food with a beachy vibe so don't expect anything amazing (or not covered in sand) but it's good overall and the staff is friendly. Service was quick in the post-lunch timeframe on a Friday. read more

Do not recommend if your going for food if your just there for drinks and gambling you will be fine. Kalie a waitress was not a friendly she was singing about how she could not wait to be done her shift. We had six people did not order alcoholic drinks and she ignored us. Ordered the fisherman's platter marker priced was supposed to come with scallops did not. When we asked she didn't care or apologized and did not lower the price she quoted us when we ordered. When we said the batter was hard she just walked away and came back with the bill. read more

My husband and I love this Tavern! We mostly go in the off season due to the crowds, but it's always a great time! The daily specials are amazing in addition to the regular menu that has your favorite bar food offerings! If you are looking for something really special order the filet on a stone! My husband said it was the best thing since sliced bread. Service is great! They have a loyal staff who are very attentive and the bar tenders make great drinks ! The food is better than anything you'll get on the boulevard and even though there isn't an ocean view you can always go walk on the beach after your fun time at the L Street Tavern! read more

i went here last night as my first night on vacation - this is one of my favorite places up here so I wanted to start my vacation off right! unfortunately that was not my experience. there was a gentleman who worked there taking everyone's chairs at the downstairs bar area and when I asked him why he was taking everyone's chairs he said "because it is my job". a veteran next to me said out loud "I'm a 60 year old veteran and I can't sit down?" but no one responded. I posted about this situation on the friends of Hampton page which was not allowed because it was removed which is fine...but before it was removed off Facebook a bartender she claimed her name was Lizzie which when I asked security to talk to a manager about Lizzie or "Elizabeth" the security person at the door originally said that he doesn't know a Lizzie BUT when this security person got the "manager" it was Lizzie. - anyways the reason I wanted to talk to a manager is because this person Elizabeth or Lizzie confronted me AT the bar while my card was still on the tab asking me why I was "talking shit" on Facebook about the worker who took everyone's chairs. i don't think that's a normal way to handle any negative customer service experience. she literally stalked me to find me. she then kicked my sister and I out of the bar because she said my sister and I made her uncomfortable. I understand you can refuse to serve any one for any reason but posting on Facebook on a "friends of Hampton beach" page should be allowed without being harassed or stalked. read more

Food was good. Live music was great. Great place for happy hour or to grab a few apps. Would definitely stick to appetizers or the Mac and cheese. Seems like the best I've had from the menu so far. read more

L Street Tavern 603 - Outside - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Will be honest, came here expecting a good time with karaoke and fun. Instead it was a body positivity conference for the bouncers who propagated their insecurity on the crowd. Not a good way to operate a bar, and I certainly will not be coming back. They act like they serve lobster bisque when in reality they're serving a Coors Light. Embarrassing and sad behavior from "men". On that note -- women at L street are just in the serving role, which seems weird as well. They block all women from proceeding forward, and the employees only seem to respect the "hot" ones. It's a sad sad place in general. read more

I have been going to L ST for years. Great atmosphere, fun crowds, love the live music and Dj Jeff... But the bartenders have such an attitude- that Kerry and Syndney have a chip on their shoulders... not sure why- they are in the service industry... Smile, it doesn't hurt and may actually make patrons want to come back... Hmmmm- sounds easy right? Not to these girls. They act like they own the place. ( if they actually did- they may even try to be nice) Hope the owner sees this and tells them to shape up or get out. They are bad for business! read more

Walked by it once a decided to give it a try. Waited 30 minutes to get a seat wait staff is slow and not very friendly. It took an hour to get our food. It was almost $50 for the seafood platter and 75% were fries. A little disappointed but something tells me the management doesn't really care. read more

I'll be honest I ordered a burger not knowing what to expect at about 9pm at night. It was top quality! Fresh vegetables, cooked right, fries were good. I would definitely order food here anytime! read more

Hi Jake, I wasn't sure how to respond to your question so I'm just using the update feature. I'm definitely sure it's the right restaurant, I remember the bartender giving us Wi-Fi info (very nice of her) because a lot of people lose cellphone reception in there, and we'd walked by a ton of times on our way to the Goat, and had always wanted to go in. As far as the waitress goes, I'm just going by what the bartender told us. It's possible only the baby was hers, and we misunderstood, but there was a maybe 1 year old baby and maybe a 3 year old toddler, and the waitress was passing the baby back and forth with the person who was there talking to her. I am also a parent, and understand someone missing time with their kids. And as someone who has also been a manager, I wouldn't have minded an employee wanting a few minutes with their family either. Unfortunately, it wasn't a few minutes, it was 45 minutes of non-stop screaming, with several visably annoyed tables. Extremely unprofessional of the server, no matter the case. No one in our group, including myself, would ever want or expect there to be no children around. That's just illogical and entitled. What most people would expect is the parent, especially someone who works at the establishment, to control the situation and have consideration for others who are spending their money and patronage at a restaurant. read more

Great food and entertainment. Owners are great people with attention to detail! Get there early on weekends as they fill up fast.

I decided to go out for some late-night eats here with a family member and ended up sorely disappointed; we ordered some cheeseburgers from the bar after being ignored for at least ten minutes after arriving, and by the time they were served to us they were cold. Whatever "talent" is usually on display here was sorely missing during karaoke; I'm hard-pressed to recall a more cacophonous assault on my ears, and this is a criticism coming from the same person who willingly paid hard-earned cash to see a band like The Locust. Spare yourself the consternation and disappointment and eat elsewhere. read more

Our waitress Tallia was awesome! But the karaoke guy was all bent out of shape because I complained about the song he played. He told the bouncer and I got in trouble.. no one likes a tattletale! read more

Wanted to show two of my college friends a good time at L Street Tavern for some drinks & for some reason the bartender was just rude as fuck to us? We literally walked in, made our way to the bar & she straight up said "I'm not serving you guys". Remind you, we weren't drunk at all... we just left dinner & were hoping to catch a buzz at L Street. I'm not sure if she was having a bad night or what. Unprofessional at its finest, disappointed with the service since we literally didn't get any. Not only this, but she continuously gave us dirty looks while we sat because we WANTED A DRINK! Kudos though for the one Mom who bought us a round, you were the only highlight of L Street. read more
