Nightclubs in Portsmouth

Music Hall Portsmouth is New Hampshire's most beloved independent performing arts venue — a beautifully restored 1878 theater presenting outstanding concerts, films, and theatrical events for one of America's most charming small coastal cities. Portsmouth's extraordinary architectural heritage (it is one of New England's best-preserved Colonial and Federal-era cities) and the Music Hall's remarkable programming create a nightclub and concert venue of genuine New Hampshire historical significance.

The Press Room is Portsmouth's most beloved music venue — a Daniel Street institution presenting folk, jazz, and rock acts for New Hampshire's most culturally vibrant seacoast city. Its extraordinary longevity (presenting outstanding live music since the late 1970s) and its role in developing New Hampshire's remarkable folk and singer-songwriter scene make it one of the most important independent music venues in northern New England.

Portsmouth's entertainment scene is one of the most remarkable small-city cultural environments in New England — a seacoast city of just 22,000 people supporting a theater, concert, restaurant, and bar culture that draws visitors from Boston and throughout the Northeast. Portsmouth's extraordinary colonial heritage (settled in 1623, it's one of America's oldest cities), its Strawbery Banke living history museum, and its contemporary restaurant and bar excellence create an entertainment experience uniquely combining historical depth with contemporary quality.
