it's great, just know when to go and what to expect. – I live in Boston and I have been to Gas Light and Co. numerous times – every time I stay in Portsmouth. I found it surprising that this place was getting poor reviews and then I read the reviews. Since I like this place I want to take this post to set expectations. First, realize that Portsmouth is tiny. It needs variety. It is full of great little restaurants, but it doesn’t offer a lot of options for a younger audience who is looking for a night out on the town. Gas Li... read more
great place to go-if you like high prices and lots of rules – Friends and I were looking for someplace with a patio and some live music in Portsmouth, and we stumbled across the Gas Light. We coughed up the $5 cover because paying a cover at the door to a bar usually ensures cheaper beers, better service, you know, some kind of benefit. We sidled up to the bar and placed our order. Three beers came to $15. Definitely on the high side, but not ridiculous. One of my friends and I wanted to have a cigar, but were told that we c... read more
The Nightclub is a Corny Hot Mess! Just skip it! – I have to agree with the review of the establishment as a bar/nightclub. It was so corny and so rediculous. The staff are quite rude, as if to project some sort of self-importance or use some kind or reverse psychology to get you to think you are at some exclusive nightclub ( I hear they actually hava a roped off V.I.P section in the danceclub which I think is hilarious, as it is a business driven mostly by white tourist from New England suburbs. The approach they are taking... read more
Stay away – Like many of the other reviewers, two friends and I recently paid the cover at Gas Light and before finishing our first drink were asked to leave by the bouncers upstairs. When we asked why they told us they had received complaints but would not provide details. Hmmm... all we were doing was sitting at the bar and talking amongst ourselves. They refused to refund our cover and literally escorted us to the "mandatory" coat room and then down the stairs to the front door. As a group of professionals in our late 30s... read more
So Much Fun!!! – I LOVE THIS BAR!!! The Gaslight offers a great atmosphere with no hassle. They have: game night on Mondays, Dancing on Friday and Saturdays (the only place in town by the way) and they offer pizza downstairs and great fine dining food on the street level. The staff is friendly and knows how to make just about every drink known to man but they have zero tolerance for rude and offensive behavior so if you want to be a [******] go to DStreet. (They DONOT however serve shots which is a draw back but again not ma... read more
Terrible Dining Experience – One of my worst dining experiences. My wife's cocktail was without flavor; the noodles in her stirfry were so overcooked they were coagulated. The meat in my entree was overdone and tough; the rice was without flavor, overcooked and barely edible. Our server was inexperienced and forgot one of the before dinner drinks. As stated by another reviewer, I telephone the owner and asked for a call back. Not surprisingly, he has not returned my call. Considering the high price of the entrees, I sis not ... read more
I'll never go here again! – Having formerly lived in Dover, I am familiar with the nightlife in Portsmouth. I recently enrolled in law school and decided to bring some friends for a night on the town. After dinner we went to some bars. Our last stop was the Gaslight. This was a mistake. I remember there being a dress code, but what ensued this night was just ridiculous. First, there was a 5 dollar cover. Portsmouth is nice, but it isn't Boston and no other bar that we went to that night had a cover. But whatever, we sucked i... read more
Worst Place in Portsmouth – We were very disappointed with our experience here. We came to Portsmouth to celebrate the wedding of a friend of mine, and we had great plans to head over to the Gaslight. However, we were refused service at the door because they "don't allow bachelorette parties" inside of the club. HUH? I don't see why. I can't see them treating a group of GUYS the same way, even if they WERE celebrating a bachelor party. There were only six of us and we weren't at all rowdy. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! I will never... read more
Bachelorette Parties NOT Welcome Here! – After leaving a nice meal in Portsmouth, 8 of us headed to the Gaslight to dance and have some fun (usual at Bachelorette parties). At the door, the grumpy bouncer instructed the bride to remove her veil. He said that they do not like the atmosphere bachelorette parties create? Confused, we paid our cover charge to get upstairs after trying to get an answer to why that was so. Bachelorette parties not welcome? Our mood went downhill, so we ask for shots. No shots. Not after 11pm. Fine... read more
