Located on an idyllic street in Portsmouth, this place provides a cozy respite from the notoriously harsh New England weather. House-brewed beer is available on tap and in casks.- © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc

Very cool little brewery . Small but with an outside beer garden . The beer flights were awesome. Most were good. Food was surprisingly good. Simple menu. In heart of Portsmouth. Gift shop next store

The Traveler

Anytime I'm passing through the area it's always a stop for lunch . Beers brewed on site. Food is amazing. I highly recommend the pastrami on rye . Sit in the bar area or outside Back room can get loud

The Mussels Alehouse were meaty and wonderfully drenched in butter. Paired with a Belgian Wit, it was a refreshing way to end a hot summer night.

Patricia Duran Aguilar

Good beer selection . Only tv 's at the bar and they aren't that big. So if you want to watch any sports this isn't your place. But if you want to have a few good beers with friends its a great spot.

JenKudu

Sample all 10 beers for $8. The stout and heffeweissen is awesome! The calamari is incredibly fresh and tender. The ziti is a giant warm hug!! End your meal with a stout float... Must try it once.

Tessa B

Excellent food, drinks you name it! Service is great- they always take good care of you. If you're looking for a place in town I recommend giving PB a go!

Philippe Miron

Awesome brewery with an really good selection of beers . They also have a small outdoor spot !

Renee G

AMAZING Restaurant / Brewery . Get the sampler paddle... 3oz of the 10 beers on tap (4 of which are Smuttynose ) Food is super fresh! Great price for a great meal!

Michael Thiele

If you're local, join the Imperial Pint Club. Larger pours and merchandise discounts , plus it's worth it for the end-of-year member party alone.

Todd Rademacher

All the beers are great and the food is outstanding. Get a growler to go.

Jake Smith

You don't have to steal the glasses, they sell most of the styles. The light beers are excellent.

The Daily Meal

Loyalists have been known to set up camp outside this brewpub for hours in the rain just to taste its rare, once-a-year-only Russian Imperial Stout , Kate the Great. The verdict: Totally worth it. Read more

Nikola Glusheski

Very awesome place to go the beer brew machine looks awesome from inside

Ellen Rielly

Despite the turn key brewery vibe, this place actually has two or three really interesting beers on the menu that seem to rotate. Try the Project X series.

Brad Marino

There was a worm in our salad ! I'm all for natural whole foods but that was a bit much for me! It's also not really vegan if there is a living creature in your food!

Lauren Paradis

Fish Fillet sandwich was on point. ???????? Would order again!

Ted Roehm

Great beer , vegan food options, awesome space

Emily Rapkoch

Good variety of beers . Killer B is by far my fav. Get that.

Betty Mak

Tours on Sat and Sun only. If you go on the Smuttynose tour they will give you a gift card for a free pint at Portsmouth.

Aubrey Sambor

Very good daily specials for veggies and vegans alike, Sun - Thurs. Ask Chef Todd if the soup of the day is veggie as well !

Joe Cooper

The cream ale is a personal favorite. Nachos are also worth a go. Tip: be sure to visit the lounge downstairs!

Courtney Garvey

If you make it to the Brewery , it is imperative you order the beer sampler . You get a little bit of everything, and it is a great price for the amount you get!

Noah Price

It's all so good yes sample the beer and the food just get as much as you can of everything!

Amy Schauster

Great beer variety- get an app or meal made with beer - fantastic taste.

Paul M

Volcano tenders are the BOMB (and super spicy )!!!! Great bleu cheese dressing here as well . Beers are always changing.

Adrian Hannah

The Ploughman's Plate is excellent, but I would ask for more bread

Jonathan Yu

Long long waits at just about anytime during the weekends. Italian sausage sandwich and salmon burgers were both pretty good.

Nicholas Ramsay

Try the fish sandwich , it is very good and the fish isn’t dry.

Eric L.

Great food and beer . Salads are awesome. Bring your card from smuttynose and get a free beer .

Gretchen Schramm

Spicy curry mussels are to die for! Loving the torn and frayed IPA !!

Drew Mancini

Good size flights of 8 beers ! You need to ask to find out which are theirs though.

Jason Boucher

The Curry Mussels are better than the ones I've had in Belgium. I'm not kidding. Best paired with Thaizenheimer if it's available...

Chris Vaughn

The Jimmy LaPanza lounge you must visit if not for the velvet paintings of naked woman then the delicious beer .

Olivier Laflamme

If you want to taste some great beers come here !!! Food is good and beer is excellent !!!

Steven Codd

Split an order of Fish & Chips and some Alehouse Mussels . Tons of great food!

Laura Sohn

Blueberry beer is delicious! :) Everything and anything seafood is a great choice. So fresh!

Regan McCarthy

Had a delicious swiss cheese burger with a nice sweet porter ...@ 10:30PM.

Geo Angelopoulos

Maybe the best burger west of the Atlantic, nice beers !

Glenn Cochran

The buffalo tenders were a good ap - very good wing sauce

Matty Getloose

the beer !!! great google moogly , the BEER !!!

Larisa Grollemond

Get the mead (the in-house brewed Killer B)! Malty deliciousness.

Dennis

Really enjoyed the ploughmans plattter. The company was fantastic too.

Keith Hopper

One of the few places you can take little kids while enjoying a craft brew (they have a room where they generally sit families).

Sam Bonacci

If it's crowded upstairs head to the downstairs bar . Totally different atmosphere but still great.

Michele Kociolek-Burkitt

Great beers and some good desserts too. Try the trifle

Eric O

Don't be a wembler; order the Fraggle Bock.

John Tackeff

The Thursday special, the Korean BBQ tacos might be the best food in Portsmouth,

Art Vandaley

If there is a private party downstairs during the week, they will sell you the downstairs special (wings , tacos , hot dogs etc) upstairs.

Cricklizard Brewing

Smuttynose Craft Beer and the Mussels . Amazing place and fun people!

The beer here is excellent, but when you want to dilute it a bit the various themed hotdogs are delicious! The Tokyo dog is one of my favorites - Peep Clarp
