“Let’s Misbehave!” The new Cole Porter musical comedy, High Society, pops with champagne fizz, sizzles with tap dancing, and brims with mad cap mayhem! Set to Porter’s iconic tunes, the story follows socialite Tracy Lord on the eve of her wedding. Her still-smitten ex-husband, C.K. Dexter Haven, shows up, as does a magazine reporter covering the event—who also falls for Tracy. She soon finds herself in a delightful romantic dilemma, forced to choose among her admirers. Based on Philip Barry’s classic play The Philadelphia Story (1939) and the hit movie High Society (1956) starring Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. “Sparkling, fresh, and brilliant entertainment.”–The Daily Mirror (UK)

One bite at a time.  Savor curated wines from our collection , perfectly paired with gourmet bites from our five-star kitchen. Guided by the charismatic duo, Cassandra and Andrew, you’ll uncover layers of history woven into the walls of this Portsmouth gem.

It’s a journey through time—one sip, one story, one delicious moment at a time. ————- Perfect for foodies, wine lovers (over 21), and those who appreciate history and local experiences. ————- "….The wines were paired with delicious small plates, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Along the way, we learned a lot about the history of the Rockingham building and the City of Portsmouth, including some really interesting stories we’d never heard before. There was even a moment that felt mysterious and unexpected, which made the night even more memorable”

“Let’s Misbehave!” The new Cole Porter musical comedy, High Society, pops with champagne fizz, sizzles with tap dancing, and brims with mad cap mayhem! Set to Porter’s iconic tunes, the story follows socialite Tracy Lord on the eve of her wedding. Her still-smitten ex-husband, C.K. Dexter Haven, shows up, as does a magazine reporter covering the event—who also falls for Tracy. She soon finds herself in a delightful romantic dilemma, forced to choose among her admirers. Based on Philip Barry’s classic play The Philadelphia Story (1939) and the hit movie High Society (1956) starring Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. “Sparkling, fresh, and brilliant entertainment.”–The Daily Mirror (UK)

John Brown's Body Friday, August 22 Doors 7pm / Show 8pm $23 Members / $25 General Admission Advance / $30 GA Day of Show All ages / Standing -- The torch has been relit! Featuring a group of long time JBB players, including founding members Kevin Kinsella, Tommy Benedetti, and Lee Hamilton, the undisputed OGs of the scene are fired up to hit the stage in 2025. This year, John Brown’s Body celebrates 30 years of making original roots reggae music around the world. They will be touring as well as releasing new music throughout 2025. The group has been on sabbatical the past few years, taking a break from the road and studio. But family is always family, and in early 2023, with JBB still dormant, Kinsella reached out to Benedetti about getting together to play some of the classic era JBB music. The crew was assembled, featuring players from all different periods of JBB's history. After a handful of recent shows the embers were burning - the music was sounding better than ever and the time was right. So, with the support and blessing of Elliot Martin, the torch will be re-lit. In addition to Kinsella, Benedetti and Hamilton, the group features Nate Edgar (bass, 2006-2016), Jon Pentronzio (keys, 2009-2018), and TJ Schaper (trombone, 2015-2018), who collectively have decades of service with JBB. Van Gordon Martin (guitar – Skatalites, G Love, and more) has been in the family over 15 years and joins the group for the first time on stage. With a long and storied career on the scene covering three decades and multiple lineup changes, JBB was formed in 1996 by Kevin Kinsella and released its seminal album “All Time”, which achieved near mythical status and is credited with being a cornerstone of the US reggae scene. As the original lead singer and songwriter for JBB, Kinsella is responsible for bringing a vast body of original music to the scene, and across the first five JBB releases. From its breakout release on Itown Records ‘All Time’, to multiple releases on Shanachie Records, JBB cemented itself as a successful touring and recording outfit with an original voice. In 2005, JBB joined forces with the legends Easy Star Records, which would begin a lasting and fruitful relationship spanning over ten years and seven releases.

Dog Lips w/ GYMSHORTS and Bowling Shoes Saturday, August 23 Doors 7pm / Show 8pm $13 Members / $15 General Admission Advance / $20 GA Day of Show All ages / Standing -- About Dog Lips: Hailing from Portsmouth, N.H., Dog Lips deliver a raw and relentless blend of punk, hard rock, and new wave on their sophomore album, Danger Forward. Channeling the urgency of Mission of Burma, the swagger of Thin Lizzy, and the abrasive edge of Wipers, the band carves out a sound that’s both chaotic and controlled. These nine tracks tear through themes of warped Americana, B-movie delirium, and the absurdity of modern life, punctuated by the unrelenting drums, confrontational vocals, and sleazy riffage. It’s an album that refuses to sit still. Dog Lips are brash, unapologetic, and wired for maximum impact. Recorded in just three days at Rhode Island’s Big Nice Studio with producer Bradford Krieger, Danger Forward captures the band’s live intensity with minimal polish and maximum grit. The sessions were fast, loud, and volatile, resulting in a sound that feels like it’s teetering on the edge of collapse. Razor-sharp guitars, pounding rhythms, and sneering vocals collide in a way that’s both immediate and gripping. Since forming in 2022, Dog Lips have been a wrecking ball on the East Coast DIY circuit, sharing stages with like-minded miscreants and leaving audiences battered and buzzing. Danger Forward is the next logical step, a bigger, meaner, and more focused statement from a band that thrives on chaos. Whether you’re a fan of garage-tinged punk, pub-rock hooks, or noise-laden hardcore, this album doesn’t just demand your attention it grabs you by the collar and bites down hard. About GYMSHORTS: Gymshorts is from Rhode Island and like the band’s home state frontwoman Sarah Greenwell is a petite powerhouse that marches to the beat of her own drum. Endearingly rebellious, fiercely independent, and hellbent on causing a commotion, Greenwell embodies the kind of rambunctious unpredictability that has personified some of pop culture’s most legendary troublemakers; a little bit Bart Simpson, a hint of Kevin McCallister, and a dash of Dennis The Menace form the inspirational foundation of Gymshorts’ particular brand of punk n roll, smoked to perfection in the back of Jeff Spicoli’s van. Gymshorts are a sarcastic grin and a pair of bloodshot eyes behind pitch-black Wayfarers in the back row of class, a best friend and a bad influence all rolled into one. Their sound is ragged and raw and immediately magnetic, rough and tumble with the kind of lived-in authenticity of a scuffed-up pair of skate shoes. A sturdy platform for the band’s unabashedly unique identity that is equal parts bratty and wise, tightly wound and poised to launch in nearly any direction at a moment’s notice. As buoyant ambassadors of plucky stick-it-to-the-man attitude, Gymshorts never fail to leave crowds sweaty and satisfied in the aftermath of a ferocious blitzkrieg bop, decimating eardrums in a whirlwind of maximum volume sonic debauchery with an enthusiastic heart of gold. About Bowling Shoes: A band.

  Get a chance to hear from and speak with the author of The Tears of Other People. Books will be available for sale in the gift shop. Admission is free, no RSVP required.   About the Author: Evie (E. M. Ippolito) was raised a settler on unceded Abenaki-Pennacook land in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She is a trans writer of fiction and nonfiction living in Brooklyn, Lenapehoking, where she pursues a degree in library information science. About the Book: The Tears of Other People is an attempt by author E. M. Ippolito to make sense of her alienation from her hometown of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Both local history and personal memoir, the book explores the history of discriminatory programs on the New Hampshire seacoast, from gentrification to European colonization, charting personal and political connections across decades of urban change. Dispossession has an infamous history on the beautiful Portsmouth waterfront, where in the 1960s a colonial museum called Strawbery Banke displaced the working-class neighborhood of Puddle Dock.

Tuesday, August 26 @ 7pm Wednesday, August 27 @ 7pm The Temptations, often referred to as American music royalty, are world-renowned superstars of entertainment, revered for their phenomenal catalog of music and prolific career. They are one of the most iconic, best-selling brands in the entertainment world today. While the group has evolved over the years, Dr. Otis Williams has continued to lead the group and carry the torch forward for the next generation of Temptations’ fans. The Temptations are headlining concerts around the country throughout 2023. Their concerts include fan favorites such as “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me),” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” and more. Ranked #1 in Billboard Magazine’s most recent list of the “Greatest R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of All Time,” The Temptations also appear in the magazine’s 125th Anniversary list of the “125 Greatest of All Time Artists.” In addition, Rolling Stone magazine named the group among the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” In September of 2020, the editors of Rolling Stone magazine commented that The Temptations are “Indisputably the greatest black vocal group of the Modern Era…,” and listed the group’s Anthology album among the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” The Anthology album has appeared in all three of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums’ lists. The group celebrated their 60th Anniversary in 2021-2022. To mark this milestone, The Temptations released a new album, Temptations 60, executive produced by founding member, Otis Williams. The new album consists of nearly all-original songs that are both modern and classic in feel and sound.  The Temptations have been the subject of a smash hit Broadway musical, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations, based on Otis Williams’ personal journey, which opened on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre on March 21, 2019. The musical received 12 Tony nominations, including Best Musical, and won the Tony Award® for Best Choreography at the 73 Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 10, 2019. Now on tour, the Musical is scheduled to open in theaters in more than 50 cities across the U.S. during the next several years. Ain’t Too Proud opened in the UK, in the West End of London, at the Prince Edward Theatre on April 20, 2023. For details, see the link here: https://ainttooproudmusical.com/  Their Emmy® Award-Winning Television mini-series, The Temptations, which first aired to rave reviews in 1998, is still on air or streaming every day somewhere in the world. Williams’ critically acclaimed autobiography, Temptations, was released as an audiobook edition for the first time in 2020, with a new introduction by Williams. Throughout the group’s evolution, The Temptations have released more than 50 Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum awards all combined, many of which are considered American masterpieces. The Temptations are the recipients of numerous awards and honors. They have been awarded five Grammy® Awards, including the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Grammy® Award. The Temptations delivered Motown’s and their first-ever, GRAMMY® for their song, “Cloud Nine.” “My Girl,” what many call their magnum opus, was inducted into the Grammy® Hall of Fame in 1998, followed by “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” a year later in 1999.  In 1989, The Temptations were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Blockbuster #1 chart hits “Just My Imagination,” “Papa was a Rollin’ Stone,” and “My Girl” are among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.”  The Temptations have 16 No. 1 R&B chart albums, 44 Top 10 R&B chart hits, including 14 No. 1 R&B singles, plus four No. 1 Hot 100 singles. The Temptations’ heritage, influence, and contributions to, not only American culture and African American communities but also to the global music landscape are monumental. The Temptations’ presence in the world today has never been more vivid, and their popularity is ever-increasing.
