Since 1976, The Press Room
has been Portsmouth’s second living room—a pub, restaurant, music venue, and gathering place built around good food, cold drinks, great music, and colorful characters. Generations of Portsmouth have made the room their own—touring legends, hometown heroes, and just about everyone in between. Fifty years later, there’s still nowhere quite like it.
It’s the community of musicians and artists, performers and listeners, who’ve made this the place we know + love.

Join us downstairs for a pint at the bar! Our space is comfortable, casual—the perfect spot for a quick lunch or dinner, late night snack, or nightcap.
Upstairs is the place for live entertainment. Grab a table, or hit the dance floor—we’ve got your favorite local and national touring acts taking the stage almost every night of the week.
