Eat. Drink. Rock. Repeat. For more than four decades, The Press Room has been the spot for an afternoon pint and bite to eat, a night out with friends, and Portsmouth’s go-to live music hub. With a large, devout following of locals, a draft list that includes regulars and an unbeatable selection of the best of the area’s craft beers, and a vibe that springs from years of good times, this is the authentic Port City experience you’re looking for. Recent renovations have brought new life to the place and improvements across the board, while staying true to the spirit that’s made The Press Room a city mainstay. As with any iconic spot, the most important part of The Press Room isn’t the space itself. It’s the people that keep coming back, to share a drink or take the stage. It’s the community of musicians and artists, performers and listeners, who’ve made this the place we know and love. As soon as you step foot inside, you’re part of that community.
