Thanks in advance Jonathan Wed May 31 21:19:47 -0700 2006 0 Jonathan 1 878526 Portsmouth Brewery, Market St....great brewpub w/ variety of handcrafted beers and food a level above typical pub food. See link below.

If you go, order a side of fries with chipotle mayo dipping sauce. Just trust me. Every single person who hasn't trusted me has tasted my order and then eaten the whole thing. Though I have less at stake if you don't heed my advice I can definitely guarantee you’ll be missing out. The clam chowder is good too!

My suggestion with regard to food is Muddy River for good BBQ, Jumpin' Jay's Fish Cafe (Seafood), Lindbergh's Crossing, and 43 Degrees North, which are all in the same general area, listed in order of cheapeat to most expensive.
