The Wilder

There’s a surprising amount of nightlife in Portsmouth, and this gastropub in the heart of town is exactly where you should end a day of tax-free shopping. The dishes, like the short rib poutine and hot chicken sandwich basket, are also 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 the Killah Bee, which features gin, mead, and honey, both go down like water.
