There’s a surprising amount of nightlife in Portsmouth, and The Wilder is among our favorites. A gastropub in the heart of town, The Wilder is where you should end a day of exploring or work with excellent cocktails, and the dishes—like pork belly poutine and the fried chicken basket—are exactly the types of things you might enjoy after a few drinks. Cocktails like The Sneerwell, made with chai bourbon, black cardamom syrup, and whiskey barrel-aged bitters, and Lady Stardust, which features tequila blanco, mango, pineapple, and hot sauce, both go down like water.
