Welcome to Southport Kitchen + Bar

“ Had a wonderful dinner at SouthPort Kitchen + Bar in Rye, NH. The hospitality truly stood out—Dairine behind the bar is a cocktail artist & fabulous host, & waitress Kerry was sweet as pie. It’s refreshing to dine somewhere with such caring staff. We started with a Hot & Dirty Martini & a Lemon Drop, both perfectly executed. The fried Brussels sprouts with pork belly & goat cheese were a standout—crispy, rich, & perfectly balanced. For entrées, he had the lamb chops, cooked & seasoned beautifully, served with delicata squash & a delicious sweet potato purée. I ordered the osso buco with chive polenta, & the meat fell right off the bone. Both dishes were even hand-delivered by Chef Adam JumpTown. The Bordeaux cherry martini special was excellent, & the mochaccino martini was the perfect dessert. Owners Aaron & Carrie run a great restaurant, & kudos to the entire kitchen staff. Exceptional food, great cocktails, & warm hospitality—Southport Kitchen is absolutely worth a visit. We'll have to check out their new venture The Inn at Rye Place next door in the very near future! ”

“ I was finally able to snag a reservation at SouthPort for my husband and me on our anniversary. It was surprisingly packed with people on a Tuesday night, and for good reason. The interior is warm, welcoming, and beautifully decorated. The atmosphere was very fun and loud. The televisions showcase old-school music videos playing - exciting compared to other restaurants that stick to sports. The service was attentive; our waitress had great recommendations that we look forward to eating when we return. The menu has a variety of salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and other options. Their appetizers were quite inventive. We tried the Tuna Tostones - the flavors of avocado and soy sauce complemented each other perfectly and had us wanting to pick the plate clean. It was some of the freshest tuna I have had in the area. For our mains, we split a couple of pizzas, which were excellent. They are made to be well-done, which gives them the perfect crunch. One of them was slightly overcooked, but tasty and palatable nonetheless. We can't wait to return to try some of their pasta dishes. Overall, I am excited that the Seacoast area has this slightly new addition. I highly recommend them, but make a reservation in advance; tables are hard to come by. ”

“ We were there for happy hour. Food was great truffle shuffle sandwich and the sticky ribs great... My only complaint is that my wife ordered a house Chardonnay and what she got after the bill came was the most expensive Chardonnay that was not on the happy hour menu. So instead of $8 for a glass it was $15 ”
