    Cool Exterior
    Randy M.

    The Beer is amazing. The food as well. The coolest atmosphere to hang and chill. We loved the wings. Out of this world!

    Great beer, great food, great vibes! An excellent spot for some laid back dinner and beers, and the outdoor area is so nice. I really enjoyed my Korean beef bowl, and my kids enjoyed the donkeys and chickens they could look at. They have a kids menu and nobody minds if you're loud!

    Poutine thats not

    We decided to come here tonight as it has been awhile. We were wanting somewhere with good ambience and outside atmosphere as it was extremely nice weather. We were seated quickly outside with great atmosphere in the evening weather. It took a little bit for us to be served, but our server was very friendly. The drinks were par with a brewery and cocktails were on par with the brewery. we asked our server about the poutine and she said it was great. We both got the burgers in which I asked for mine rare. We waited approximately 25 minutes for poutine which came with ourmain meal. We immediately got into the poutine and quickly found out it was not poutine. There was hard chunks of cheese and just french fries covered in curry sauce. Theburger was unimpressive and did not have a lot of flavor. Both my wife and I decided this place would be good for drinks and ambience out side.

    Throwback a is an awesome brewery with great beer and delicious food. The setting is beautiful and the staff is always friendly. The patio is exceptionally dog friendly and my pup loves it. We've never had any food item that wasn't great but my favorite is the Korean wings. Low key probably the best wings in the sea coast.

    Ambiance!

We visited on Friday night and sat at a table as the bar seating was pretty packed. Crowd was pretty chill - a mixture of people in their 20's having drinks & apps, and then older couples/families enjoying dinner. We were happy to see Smithwicks on the draft menu, and we also got a Downeast cider with a caramel/cinnamon rim. We ordered the house made mozzarella sticks, which were ginormous, crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and all around delicious. We all opted with different types of burgers - sliders, fried chicken, and a pub burger. All were served with fries and were perfectly cooked. The coating on my fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. Service was awesome - our glasses were never left empty! Best of all, Dwyers has a free jukebox packed with favorites. Looking forward to coming back on our next visit to Portsmouth - we'll definitely be trying the deviled eggs, wings, and fried oreos!

After spending aprox $250 on drinks we were asked to leave our table before we were done because there were other people waiting for tables. I understand that it's a busy St. Paddy's weekend and they need to turn tables over and make $ but it was quite jarring and rude AND we were getting ready to order food. I enjoy this place but i won't be returning. If you want average food and drinks, which is forgivable because of the fun music, and would like to be treated like crap on a Saturday afternoon, Dwyers is the place for you.

It's small, yet crowded, which speaks to the food and popularity of this downtown bar. And it's accessible, even if the the majority of tables are not.

Not sure if they make it anymore?? This unfortunately isn't a bar I frequent when I'm home in Portsmouth visiting. Their new set-up is very small. I'm not sure how their food is anymore? I stopped in here on 12/26/2025 to grab a quick drink. I grabbed a seat @ the bar & don't have to wait long to order my drink. Male bartender was nice. He made me a yummy Stoli Blueberry vodka with soda water with lemon. He even gave me a lemon when most bartenders give me a lime when I ask for a lemon so that was nice, he listed & paid attention...thank you! I loved the glass it came in (see pic). I loved this cute winter snowman decoration in their kitchen window. They always had yummy Jell-O shots. I will have to come in here again for some food & see what they're serving these days. But I sure do miss their old set up.
