The atmosphere was pretty depressing. The waitress was hard to understand as she mumbled and slurred her speech the whole time. She seemed like she was either drunk or very high. Bar manager looked like he was in another world and didn't really do anything besides greet people when they walked in. The burgers were great though! The fries had a nice crunch to them. Just make sure your ketchup isn't old.... Be sure to check the beer glasses before drinking, I cut my lip on mine. The rim of the glass was broken. The bathroom was also horrific. It smelled like urine and looked like it has NEVER been cleaned in years. We should have gone to the pizza place down the street..... read more

Patties & Pints - American Near Me - Portsmouth, Ohio

Pretty cool little bar/ restaurant in this area...my niece told us about this and we took the whole family down to check it out. They have some really good seasonal beers and while most the fam did a sampler, hub and I opted for just a pint of what sounded the best. I got the pumpkin ale and he got a darker amber beer. Beers were really good. We decided to get the sliders with just meat and cheese and the buffalo strips. Burgers were solid, chicken was not homemade and the fries were your average fry..the buffalo sauce was the star...very good. They have only a few bathrooms in the joint and they were in need of serious attention. It was a disaster to have to take my elderly mom into a nasty bathroom like that....I am hoping they fix this. Wait staff was very good! read more

This place is off the hook the ambience is straight out of the prohibition era with at least 30 beer taps. I had the Alaska Amber with the Bootlegger and fries, my burger was med well I was very happy. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. They also have a very large selection of hard liquor on the back bar. It can get a little noisy with bare brick walls high ceiling and concrete floor but it adds to the charm. read more

Patties & Pints - The Bootlegger w/fries - American Near Me - Portsmouth, Ohio

Our server had only been there two weeks, but she did a fantastic job super sweet very accommodating. The food came out piping hot and everything was excellent. The chicken salad croissant was one of the best I've had in a long time. We had a Cobb salad very tasty with grilled chicken. The table had wings, hamburgers, and the kids meals were plentiful. The appetizers were stuffed mushrooms and banana peppers really good. I highly suggest ordering them. Be sure to check out the mural along the way. read more

Service was great, sat at a high top - bartender was busy but attentive. Food was not nearly as good as we hoped. Sloppy Joe and Embezzler burger with sweet potato tots. No major complaints, but no wow factor either. Falls on my mediocre list. read more

Food was great, maybe only because it took over an hr and a half and I was to that hangry stage. Seated at the bar hoping for better service, as it was packed, but there was legitimately no one working the bar. read more

Nice decor rustic. Has a large bar and lots of tables and outdoor seating. Service was great and they have Draught beer, lots (+1). Pretty good and variety on the menu. I ordered the three sliders meal with fries. The give a large portion of fries. The sliders were awasome and highly recommend them. Worth the stop. read more

I come for the P&P fries. They are so good and savory (I don't even know what's on em). The burgers I've had have all been yummy and the side you get make the meal more than enough food. The appetizers are all really good, especially the fried pickles! Definitely stop by if you're passing through Portsmouth! read more

Patties & Pints - Beer Caps (Fried Pickles) - American Near Me - Portsmouth, Ohio

Waited over an hour to never get our food, only saw our server twice before he quit and went down the street for a beer, and after making a complaint that we wanted to know where our meals were, the staff told us to leave. Horrible experience all round, do not recommend. read more

Food=DELICIOUS, Service=FANTASTIC Had lunch here today. We ordered 2 "The Big Cheese" burgers. My husband had onion rings and I had the sweet potato tots. Everything was soooo good. My husband also ordered himself some appetizers of stuffed mushrooms and the bottle caps. He says that the mushrooms were the best he ever had. I can say that the bottle caps were pretty good too. Our server and the bartender/manager(?) were super attentive and very friendly!! We tipped accordingly! The decor/ambiance of the building is great. Love the prohibition theme. We highly recommend. read more

Excuse the red light district feel in the pics. They had red Christmas lights on our side. I was starving so we popped in. There was a bit of a wait and we ended up sitting at the bar. I order the delicious and succulent ribeye steak sandwich with mushrooms, onions and bell peppers. Yo! It was sooooo good! If my momma were here, she would have been slapped! IJS My husband ordered the cheese curds, which were tasty and crispy. He also ordered the baked spaghetti...he barely spoke to me when he dug into it and had his first bite. If his momma was here, she would have been slapped...twice. It was super busy in here, but well worth the wait. We are planning a weekend trip to come back and try more items from their menu. Good LAWD this was good!!! read more

Cute little restaurant with a Speakeasy theme. Housed in a highly renovated building in the downtown commercial area of Portsmouth, Ohio, this casual dining place is a terrific spot to grab lunch or dinner with friends, or enjoy a drink at the bar. Clean, well lit, and inviting, with street side parking. Browse the local antique shops steps away and turn it into an afternoon getaway. The food is hot, fresh, and as described on the menu. Service is quick, friendly, and eager to serve. Check it out! And don't miss the fried banana peppers!!! read more

Ordered the tenders but there was hardly any breading on them and they were a bit soggy. Was expecting crispy tenders maybe this is how they made them :/ read more

We stopped in for a late lunch. The restaurant was located next to a lot of shops. There was only a handful of people inside, which made it a nice atmosphere for a group with a small child. There is a small stage by the restrooms for entertainment. There was plenty of food on the menu for our group to choose from. We got the fried mushrooms to start with. All I have to say is....AWESOME!!!! Then, our group got hamburgers all around. Great selection of them on the menu. Everyone loved them, and they were all cooked to perfection. A thank you shout-out goes to the kitchen staff. GREAT JOB!!! read more

I had the Kingfish sandwich with onion rings my buddy had the Irishman Po boy with fries. We feel like both were heavy on the bread. He described his as bland, mine had good flavor it had the blackened shrimp on it. My onion rings were overcooked (some onions burned out of them). The service was really very good though especially for only 2 servers with a full room of 60 plus people! The kitchen kept up very well and was normal paced for a restaurant. The ambiance was really nice with a wonderful window and bar area. I'd likely go for wings and burgers next time but will definitely be back! read more

Service was great! A good blend of food choices and the food was good and came out quickly. Also a really good beer selection.

Great: Food Bar atmosphere We come here once a year before staying at Shawnee Lodge... Bartender and waitress were both so friendly.. even turned up volume on TV so we could hear the Bengals football team, and cheered along with us.. this was our third year here to watch the game... this will be our plan again next year, too. Enjoyable... read more

We tried their chicken wings with fried peppers and pickles and found them to be very tasty , the post prohibition ambience Was unique fitting in with the old downtown location It really has a feel of yesteryear. The service was good , tons of drinks to choose from which samples were offered by the bar tender . I'd say the visit was worth the time , I would definitely recommend it. read more

Great burgers! Really a nice place to stop. The wait staff were very friendly. Several waiters and waitresses checked on us throughout our visit. This place has a cool "old school" vibe associated w the prohibition and speak easies. Everyone is super relaxed and casual, but refined. I wish they would have had Portsmouth Brewery Company beers to buy or on tap. read more

We had a party of 10. They took care of us and kept the drinks flowing. Good atmosphere and online jukebox. Had the honey BBQ wings and several Ultra's. Wings were good. Good place for a cold beverage and food! read more

We stumbled upon this place as it was near our hotel. The service & drinks (Apple Donut Cider) were great, as was the ambience but the food was a miss for us. We ordered unpopular choices which was our own fault, but we didn't even want to take it home after only eating half. I got the Fish and Chips which was super mediocre. Husband got Philly Cheesesteak and Loaded Tots. PC was pretty average, but the tots were very oniony and just not that great! We wouldn't be against trying it again as we're not the pickiest. We'd definitely go back for drinks & apps! read more

We were here last year on vacation and had to come back, First off, Erin is an amazing server, she was extremely friendly, was on top of my sweet tea addiction like no other server has! Glass was never under half full! The beer cheese is the reason I love this place. Started out with the pretzels and beer cheese. Love their pretzel!!! Hubby had the Big Cheese. He loved it! He is a burger guy and it definitely passes his test! I went with the Irishman with chicken. The beer cheese and the Philly style sandwich is a perfect combo! I used to work in the dining industry and think these people have a great thing going! Very clean! Saw every table cleaned thoroughly by the wait staff between customers. A large group was in our area and they were well taken care of!!!! Very impressed! Snd let's not forget the prohibition decor! The special agent car in the dining area is just too cool!!!! And the photos in the wall are just so neat! read more

We are new to this area and after painting/cleaning all day; we decided to try Patties & Pints. One person got the burger and fries, second person got the cod fish with tater tots and the third person got "Kingfish" poor boy shrimp sandwich. We could not be more pleased with the staff, food and atmosphere. We will be coming back to eat more delicious food and drinks. Thank you for a famous evening! read more

Pretty dang good Food was hot, beer cold, what more can I say. Sunday afternoon the place was busy. It was very clean, beautiful building Our waitress forgot to ask if we needed silverware, we made due though I highly recommend the pretzel with beer cheese appetizer Fish was okay, burger cooked just right, nothing special about the tater tots or onion rings read more

What a great find! This unexpected joint in Portsmouth has tasty burgers and a diverse selection of beer. Onion rings were not good - very bland and I would guess frozen, not fresh made. The burgers are awesome. The chips were crisp. Family friendly and cool at the same time, we would come back to this place if we cross through this town again. read more

Patties & Pints - Tangerine beer - American Near Me - Portsmouth, Ohio

I wish I could give this spot a stellar review. Being an active SSU Alumni and my better half being from the area we are in town often. We tend to stick to our tried and true staples. Ordering or dining in a few times a month. The building looks so wonderful and inviting coming into town. I would often suggest stopping at Patties & Pints. My husband had tried your establishment once before and was not impressed. After I had eaten some wings at a luncheon verifying the great taste. I finally talked my husband into stopping for an early dinner. When we came in we were essentially ignored. We eventually made our way to the bar. Service in general is sometimes hard to find as of late. Good service seems to be even harder. I ordered an Old Fashion that tasted like something else entirely. Some of our food was piping hot, some, just plain cold. For the price, I was expecting much more. If the food and drinks all had come at once, heated, spare the drink, our food tasted good! Banana pepper rings were crisps sitting for so long, coming with our dinner. I'm not sure I could twist the husband's arm, once again. The space is very cool. Nonetheless, everyone working was visibly bothered to be waiting on anyone. read more

Ok, whomever said this place was "rushed" is wrong. The burgers were great, cooked right. I got the Al Capone $15. The cajun wasn't over powering or too spicy. Same with the blue cheese. The bacon was thick and cooked nice and crispy, not like buffet bacon all limp and thin. The bun was fine, but probably the worse thing on the burger. Don't get me wrong, it was good It just had a burger king vibe to it without the seeds or maybe day old. I got regular fries and there were a lot of them. They reminded me of truffle fries, but not sweet. We also got the sweet potato tots, whichlooked like a whole bag of tots! They were good. You can get a flight of 5 beers for $10 bucks. Nice selection. The waiter didn't write anything down and got it all right, including my kids picky requests. read more

The food at Patties & Pints is consistently excellent. We have tried several sandwiches/burgers, fries, cheese curds, and salad. The sloppy joe is the best I've ever had! The beer cheese and onion straws just make it over the top good. Buns are always warm and toasty, burgers are well seasoned, and fries are hot and fresh. (Highly recommend the P&P Fries for just a little extra something.) We find the cheese curds a tad spicy, which is not stated on the menu, otherwise they're good, but that's just our personal taste. We're not beer drinkers, but if you are, I'd say you would love the selection. There is a huge beer menu on the wall. Love the atmosphere and decor, and the bar is cool. It can be loud, but that's to be expected. On the negative, we find the service to be increasingly disappointing. We have on multiple occasions watched the servers sit near the bar on their phones while not waiting on customers, which I find very unprofessional. It's a little annoying when we're sitting there with empty glasses or in need of something. I just personally think you should at least pretend to be doing something, rather than sit on your phone when customers are present. This has actually become a big turn off. The last time we visited the hostess was super unfriendly, just stared at us without saying a word when we walked in, then proceeded to sit us at an unclean table with an obvious smear of some kind of food across it. We asked if she could please wipe the table off, which resulted in her letting out a big irritated sigh. After wiping it down, she immediately went and sat down by the bar and got on her phone. Guess we interrupted her. If service was better, this place would be totally deserving of five stars. read more

It has been a long work week and home area was hit by hurricane. Kayle was working the bar and was amazing. She did not let short food supplies, wrong food or low beer taps ruin the experience! The pretzel and beer cheese were warm and sharp cheddar. The burger was huge and almost too much. The sweet potato tots (although missing the syrup) wet hot, crispy and sweet. The beers and ciders were refreshing ! read more

Frozen. Not the movie, the food. Frozen fries, frozen chips (but fried on site which is supposed to be ok but it's really not), just too much frozen food. Server was very pleasant but chaotic and overwhelmed. There may be a staffing shortage, so the server isn't always to blame. The food was prepared well, but nothing we had was scratch made. Server said it was under new management, so I hope they revise to fresh made items. Cute place though! read more

Patties & Pints hits virtually everything they do out of the park. The beer selection is absolutely fantastic. Jacky-O's Ricky was on tap both times I went and I couldn't have been happier. Beer selection is awesome. Now onto the service, very good and everyone is willing to answer questions! Food is awesome. Had The "Lucky" Luciano and it was really great. Appetizers are very good. Have not had a bad thing yet! Now to the setting. It's nestled in what seems to be a up and coming area west of downtown near the river. They are doing a lot of work in the area. Get in your car. Go south on 23 for a Sunday drive from Columbus. Check out the shops in Portsmouth, check out the Murals on the flood walls, and be sure to grab some food and many pints at Patties & Pints (Portsmouth's Speakeasy)! read more

The wife and I stopped in on a day trip trying to cure the cabin fever we have all developed during these times. The beer menu was HUGE!! Lots of local beers! I was told the Merk Juice was a good IPA and was not disappointed! I ordered the Al Capone with P&P fries ( Fries Covered in a garlic parmesan Concoction). The burger was great and the Fries were okay , Probably won't get them when we return. My wife ordered the Mac and cheese with chicken and shrimp appetizer as her dinner. HUGE portion. Defiantly a burger place I would suggest it over fat patties any day! Love the atmosphere and the aesthetic. Would be great for live music. Service was great and speedy!

Patties & Pints - Al Capone burger with P&P Fries! - American Near Me - Portsmouth, Ohio

I had heard great reviews of this place. I had lunch there today and was not impressed. I had a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. Somehow the food came out quickly but was still cold. Cheeseburger had just two strips of bacon and what I heard were large burgers looked about a quarter pound. Way too expensive for what I got. I would have been much more satisfied with a meal from McDonalds or Wendys. Don't plan on going back. read more
