Absolutely appalled at the bullies running this place. Visited on the evening of 1/30/21 and had the best waitress, Dominique. She was the highlight of this visit and we were disgusted by how she was treated. Multiple times during our visit we heard other waitresses and the hostess berate her and advise her she wasn't doing well at her job, in front of ourselves and other customers. We felt sick just watching these women treat her poorly. Will never visit this place again and will absolutely advise against anyone providing money to support this business. In a world that is harsh enough as is, the last thing we need is women treating other women like absolute garbage.

Can't beat the all you can eat pizza buffet for 10$! The waitress even had them make a veggie pizza special for me, I wish I caught her name because she was over the top accommodating! The pizza is amazing! We will definitely be back!

We have been going here for over ten years This yr we hav been going EVERY Fri with at least 4 friends since June Today we went there, 9/25, 430 and were told we would NOT be seated until all 6 of us were there and that we were not welcomed to stay any longer than 90 minutes. There was 10, 6 top tables EMPTY and half NEVER got sat. We chose not to use our gift cards or our points to support this restaurant. That will NO longer be the case. I will use every last $$ and then go somewhere we are appreciated. I have two words for Gaslight .... ...

We arrived before the rush, but service was slow. The food was delicious , but slightly overpriced. We eat out a lot so we know what prices currently run and these prices were about 10% higher than average for the food choices. The hummus was clearly made in house and was a more chunky version than a typical hummus, but had great flavor $15. 2 out of 3 enjoyed it. Stuffed mushrooms were delicious and came with 6 for $15. (BTW pricing posted outside did not match pricing inside). Fish and chips plate came with 2 good size pieces of fish and a plate full of fries for $28. Bowl of butternut squash bisque was $7. Grilled haddock with a scoop of risotto topped with 6 asparagus stalks was $32. Sataki (sp?) Chicken had a large scoop of risotto and 6 stalks of asparagus at $28. Has a spicy kick. All of the dishes were very tasty. Of note: there are 3 floors with 3 different restaurants inside which we did not realize when we went inside. See menu picture for each floors restaurant.

First time eating here and with any takeout, I am always worried the food will not taste as good as if eating there. We did not feel like eating out because we had some stuff to do at home, so we took the chance! Glad we did because the food was definitely worth it! I particularly loved the pull-apart cheese sliders, it was a unique way of eating a cheese appetizer rather than just getting mozzarella sticks, and the haddock and risotto I had were also top-notch!

Ive been in the service industry for 20+ years, and this is my first review I’ve ever left. A miscommunication with our partys arrival led to poor service. Our server was very young and did the bare minimum while being very short and rude. The other server seemed great and the guy playing music sounded fantastic! We’ve been coming here for forever and will continue too. However, this was a special occasion, and it seemed like only one person serving the patio was interested in money this evening.

A few friends and I tried to go to Gaslight to have dinner, as I was waiting to put our names in, who I believe to be the owner rudely stepped up to me, told me to get out of his way, and acted as if he was going to put his hands on me to forcibly move me. Then, after I stepped out of the restaurant, he was extremely rude to my friends. At this point we decided to not give them our business and went elsewhere. Never again will I eat here due to the rudeness and unprofessionalism shown to us. If I could give it zero stars I would.

I completely understand the lack of staff these days. That being said, our server tonight gave up. I can only guess our table was forgotten considering the table that was sat right before us had drinks and their order taken before we were handed menus. We gave our drink and food order at the same time. 15 minutes later, our server confirmed one of the two things we ordered. One dish came out first, fried clams. No plates, no silverware. After 10 minutes of waiting, I went to the host station to request them. When the second dish arrived, pizza, it was brought by our server and put ON THE MENUS! Tilted and lopsided, we carefully took out slices of cold pizza off the wabbling tower. We were only offered the first drinks. I'm usually good for two beers. This was a date night, so dessert was in the plan too. The rest is history, but you could tell she knew she failed. Biggest disappointment we have had in 10 years, easily.

Enjoyed the food and ambiance.

Stopped for lunch Wednesday. They were only seating outside. Nice tree shaded patio with plenty of room. Super friendly hostess and wait staff. Had the calamari to start and thier standard lobster(salad) roll. I usually ask for hot buttered but decided to try the house version. I enjoyed it, good flavor not to much mayo. Had a great guitar player entertaining. If I find his card I'll repost it. Found the whole atmosphere relaxing.

Awesome menu with a wide variety of foods. Best beer battered fish and smash burger I've had in a long time! We were so full from the appetizers, we had to take our entrées home! Can't wait to go again.

Fun times! Good food and great service. Stopped by as they are dog-friendly and I had my pupper with me. Chose to do the deck area. I whiffed and picked out three things that Kira (waitress) had to return to tell me that they ran out of it, ha. Finally settled for short rib and gnocchi, with mussels to start. Mussels were good. I love seafood though, so I may be a bit biased. Broth was very garlicky (which is GOOD) but the mussels at the Portsmouth Brewery had more flavor (probably because of the beer broth). It was still very good though. My doggo wasn't as impressed. Also... mussels were pretty small this time of year, or maybe just small in general... I remember saying the same thing to myself at the brewery. No big boyos here. Short rib and gnocchi were also good, pretty flavorful. At about the time I was getting into my meal, the sky decided to sprinkle and then dump on me. I was the only dummy sitting in the open. The staff got me another short rib and gnocchi because they saw how I was getting soaked and how my entree and beer were getting watered down. I thought that was SUPER AWESOME of them to offer. My doggo was pleased with the short rib. #FineDoggoDining And of course the other deets: A bit cramped with outdoor seating, but it's fine when you don't have a fur baby with you constantly trying to turn around and sniff everything. Outdoor bar looks pretty nifty and is protected by an overhang. Gazebo where people can just hang. No people watching because there's a wooden fence that closes you off from the street. Service was great; Kira checked on me almost every few minutes after I told her I needed a bit more time with the menu. (Had to take care of the doggo first.) $60 for mussels, pasta, and beer, with a tip. Definitely will go again. Hopefully they'll have the other choices when I do, ha.

Went with the obvious, and had PEI mussels. Did not disappoint, and the Parmesan frites were excellent and enjoyed by our baby. Shrimp cocktail is grilled, and cold — depends on your taste if it’s the thing for you. Battered fish is the missing specialty… need to try fish & chips here next.

It gets dark early these fall days! Sucked into this local pub and got a nice meal, good service and a cool drink. Respectful of COVID and a nice atmosphere to have a meal!

EDIT: Thank you for the response. The surf n’ turf was $29, I incorrectly thought it was $39. Still very overpriced for what was given to us. If I could give zero stars, I would. We got door dash, and I understand the food isn’t likely to be as good as if you’re actually there, but this was downright pathetic. I ordered a build your own pizza and instead got the “children’s museum” pizza with toppings missing. At $3 per topping that should absolutely never happen. The receipt showed I was still charged for them even though they weren’t there. My boyfriend got the surf n’ turf, which was LITERALLY FOUR shrimp and maybe 8 steak tips. RIDICULOUS. Charging $40 dollars for that?!? Not to mention everything was stone cold when it got here (we aren’t that far of a drive). The fries were the best part of the meal, and they were mediocre at best. We definitely won’t be eating or ordering from here ever again. Just pathetic. And don’t bother replying with your copy and paste response of an apology that I’m seeing on other negative reviews.

Very nice out on the patio. Went twice while in town. Service was great, food was awesome. Highly recommend! For just a quick drink or a meal.

Picked up our niece from UNH for dinner. She highly recommended it. She was right. Everything we got was excellent and the wait staff were very friendly and helpful.

Used to go here for the pizza buffet at lunch. It was a great price and good pizza. Sadly the buffet closed due to Covid restrictions and has not been reopened. Looking forward to when it reopens.

It’s pet friendly restaurant, they have outside dine in area, service and food is too good, pretty decent place, we went for dinner on Sunday, they have live music. We enjoyed evening

It was well worth it..Great for a special occasions. Nice people and good food. I would recommend it to a friend.

Pretty cool place to grab a pizza (You can watch them actually make it. Yes they do throw it in the air and spin it) And it tasted great too. 😋

Food was good. Just had apps but it was perfect. Prozac punch is definitely a winner, the deck was fun once we got seated. Would definitely go again

The outdoor patio is very nice and the food was good but the we felt the portions were not great for the price.

We were visiting from Arizona and it was a great place to eat. Friendly accurate and quick service. I would recommend.

We sat outside and had a couple drinks while it rained. Nice stop with a cool patio.

We stopped in for the 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. happy hour half price beers and appetizers. When we asked the lady upstairs about it, she said "oh that's only applies to frequent diners." So we went downstairs to the pizza Pub area and mentioned it to our waitress. She was absolutely awesome she said, "I'll sign you right up for that." Gave us great recommendations and had a super personality. We tipped her out nicely! So all in all, we love the place, but the upstairs bartender/ hostess could have been a lot more helpful and been a much better representative of a nice place. Also, it's worth noting that if you find parking on the street and there's no parking meters, make sure you pay online with your phone. Portsmouth has a sneaky way of handing out parking tickets. Love the town but beware they're out to get your money.

Came back to this bar after driving to Concord for a just ok spot to celebrate Halloween. I've been here before. DJ is always decent and crowd is energetic. There were lots that dressed up in costumes and they had a contest for the best costume! It was a good time

Brad and Bill were of great service with our VIP experience. They were accommodating, friendly, and very attentive. Jada was very helpful with our drink and food order. Would definitely come back and recommend to friends and family. They made it a very great night/experience!!

On vacation visiting places I used to hang out all the time. So we were early dinner and place wasn't busy, so want to start there. We had an excellent family time and eryones meals were perfect. I'll have to go back and look at everything we ordered and fill in the blanks, but without a doubt one of the best meals of the trip. The menue will fit everyone's interest.

Worst bar ever, worst staff. Beyond rude and unnecessary, if you wanna spend 100’s$ they love you. Couple of drinks with friends having good time, they will do anything to kick you out without big bucks.

Great place with awesome food. Genuinely no complaints with the experience. However, our waitress was unfortunately not nearly as good as the other elements of the restaurant.

Great atmosphere, staff and service. We'll definitely be back again.

We had a blast at a gas light this Halloween. Best party!!! Also, this is not my first time at a gas light... I've been there many times because I love their food. Good food+ good ambiance+ good service = Happy Me!!!

We brought our adult children in to celebrate a birthday. We were told we could still order from the upstairs menu if we went downstairs but that if anyone wanted pizza, we could only get it downstairs. We went down and ordered our drinks. We were then informed that we couldn’t order from the upstairs menu. We almost left but it was cold out and I didn’t feel like dragging our gang of five around. I wish I had. The food was abysmal. Pita chips with the artichoke dip were stale and hard. The dip was barely warmed. Starved, we risked broken teeth to consume the chips anyway, mostly using them as a spoon to pick up the dip. Then our entries came out. The kettle chips with my burger (I had really wanted ribs from the menu upstairs) were stale. The fettuccine Alfredo had no flavor. The Mac and cheese looked and tasted like something from a box. The wood fired pizza was nothing special. All of this and we paid over $200 for food we took home to feed to the dogs. We did tell the server about our concerns but he just kinda shrugged his shoulders and said “Sorry.” I didn’t think places like this existed in a foodie town like Portsmouth but now I know better.

We ate downstairs in the "Pizza Pub," and it was straight up 1980's from the decor to the tunes. We almost left but decided to let it ride, and I'm glad we did. The service was great, and the pizza was amazing (we had the gaslight and a greek salad). I would definitely recommend it, and for those that want great pizza and a little 1982, you won't be disappointed!!

The ambiance can’t be beat. The food may be a little pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for in terms of quality. The lobster roll featured generous heaps of meat, & the fish & chips were served “wicked” hot, & everything was delicious! Averie was welcoming, & took great care of us, as our Server.

Very good pizza and the staff was super accommodating to handle the four of us strolling in at 11PM, coming straight from a wedding. The live music in the downstairs lounge made me want to stay, but apparently we needed to bring a pizza back to the bride and groom. Apologies to anyone who wanted pizza that night; they sold the rest to us.

Portsmouth gas light was a great meal, started with clam chowder the Parmesan pull aparts and braised short ribs then finished with brownie sundae for dessert.

We went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We were seated right away and the server came over shortly thereafter. We ordered four beers, two side salads, and four entrees. My side salad was really fresh and delicious and pretty big for a side. That’s where the good ends. My lobster roll was not fresh. You would think that with Portsmouth being on the water and it still being summer, it would have been fine but it was not fine. It tasted and smelled fishy. It was also very red for some reason. The other people also had mixed reviews with their food: a chicken veggie wrap, a hamburger, and a chicken salad.

We came in today bc kids schools were closed due to power outage. We ordered chowder chicken caesar salad pizzas sliders and desserts. Their were 2 adults and 3 kiddos bill was over 200.00. Salds were dry and no cheese or dressing had to order more Sliders were dead. Kids wouldn't evan eat them. Desserts so dry as if they warmed in mic to soften tasted old. Were so hesitant to take off or help out at all!!! Dissappointed to say the least!

Great Pizza :)

They are extremely rude over the phone at least, definitely wont be going in

Hostess was very friendly w take out orders

Great Pizza!

My old stopping grounds!!! Always a great experience!

It wasn't great, our dinners (all three of them) were missing an ingredient which made them very dry ... I'm hoping it was just an off night because I've heard such good things about this place 😕

Good menu.

Wonderful restaurant! Good GF pizza.

Not like it used to be. Pizza dry, burnt and who doesn't use fresh basil for a Margherite pizza?

Great food and great family place to dine. Great atmosphere. For a nice dinner and a great place to go and relax

The hostess was so rude that the poor boy she appeared to be training was visibly embarrassed. We were sat at a table in front of the door which wouldn’t have been a problem if it weren’t super busy and 26 degrees outside. We offered to wait for another table but were told no. We left before ordering.

I like sitting upstairs! But we did sit downstairs the last time and ordered a brick oven pizza! It was amazing! Great staff and great drinks!

Enjoyed my hamburger and salad. My wife had a tasty barbecue chicken sandwich. Cold beer and drinks had enjoyable late lunch up stairs restaurant dining room.

Best pizza on the planet! I used to live in the apartment across the street and that was the closest I have ever been to heaven. Please support local businesses like this one and the following: Port City Coffee Roasters, The Clip Joint, and Bob's Chicken. Thank you!

waitresses were incredibly friendly, food came quick and was SOO amazing. definitely going to be coming back here frequently!!!

Working as a hostess on Valentine’s Day weekend during COVID must be very hard. Thank you to the very pleasant hostess who was upbeat and friendly. Our server was great as well!

Great pizza

Poor menu short on menu items didn't even have a teabag for my aunt !! Really? Wait person really didn't want to be there

Great pizza!

Excellent service, atmosphere and food in all venues. Best quality and value around.

Nice place,friendly people and foods are great.

Always great service , nice low light setting downstairs , and pizza is on point

Great food. Great service.

Great pizza! Great service! Pizza cooker not masked when we arrived, another kitchen worker had mask pulled down...

Waited for 45 min to get our food and we ordered 2 salads, hummus and Mac and cheese. There was barely any Mac and cheese in the bowl and it was cold. Both salads were made incorrectly and one was made 7 times with the wrong cheese which was an allergy at the table. It was awful and will never return.

I went to a Wedding Reception here on October 17th. I thought the food was really good. I would recommend this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere drinks are expensive and short pours

Great pizza and beer..GG rocks!

Great atmosphere and music in the back outdoor patio area. Food was ok but staff was very friendly.

Loved the atmosphere

Love the food and the staff

Excellent pizza!! Great atmosphere and great music! Loved everything about it.
