Stopped in to watch rugby and have a couple beers. Love the old school Irish Pub. Plenty of beers to select from, and bartenders a friendly and quick on the refill.

The bar and atmosphere are worth experiencing at least once. The Irish pub vibes are perfect, but that is the only appeal of The Port Tavern. The food was overly salted, and the service, while friendly, was incredibly slow. Newburyport is filled with amazing restaurants, but The Port Tavern isn’t one of them.

We shared the chicken pie and the smash burger. The smash burger was tasty with a thousand island dressing that was unique. The fries were crispy. The chicken pie was good but had a few too many peas for my liking. Service was good. Atmosphere was a traditional tavern feel. Good food but more of a place to grab a drink with friends.

We stopped in on October 29th on a stay over before heading down to Salem. Sat at the bar, greeted quickly, nice drink and food menus along with the bartender. It was a slower night in there but the place looked good overall. Tidy, cozy. We ordered the salmon appetizer that came out shaped like a rose, pretty cool. I had the pretzels which were good. Drinks were made alright, no complaints there. Even got a nod from the bartender when I ordered an Angels Envy Old Fashioned. Normally, I get the vibe no one likes making these, she was happy to oblige. Dinner was equally as good. Chicken pot pie was nuts and the Haddock was well received. All in all, good time at the Port Tavern. If we find ourselves in Newburyport again, we’ll definitely stop in.

A very nice tavern! The service was good and quick and the drinks menu is rich. The food was very delicious, the fried Brie was special and mouthwatering so I ordered it twice. Inside decor was interesting.

An absolute gem and a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant atmosphere set the tone for an incredible evening. Our waitress, Damica, was the highlight of the night. Her attentiveness and warm personality made us feel right at home.
The drinks were expertly crafted—each sip a testament to the skill of the bartenders. But the real star of the show was the food. The burgers were nothing short of phenomenal, perfectly cooked with a burst of flavors in every bite. You can tell that the kitchen takes pride in their craft.
The entire staff at Port Tavern worked seamlessly together to create a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. Their dedication to excellent service and their genuine friendliness made the evening truly special. If you’re looking for a place where the food, drinks, and service all exceed expectations, Port Tavern is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Not bad at all, just need more care to when the big windows are open on the colder days. They could benifit from a new tomato soup recipe that dosent taste and feel like gritty tomato paste

Good hearty meals, great/fast service and a relaxing atmosphere. Everything I would expect from an Irish American pub.

We’ve been going there for years. (Because of the convenience, because we usuallyhaveapartyof 8 or 9 people). We get something different each time. The food is usually way over cooked! But the service is very good.
