The latest installment of Storefronts of Portsmouth features The River House and its painted sign – a favorite spot of mine on Bow Street. The location is pretty incredible right on the curve of Bow Street….overlooking the Tugboats and the Middle and Piscataqua River Bridges. I really enjoy their food…but most of all, I love their deck location for a sunset on a spring evening. I can’t wait for the decks to open…the countdown is on (let’s hope mother nature decides to do her part sometime soon).

At the River House Deck
I went to the River House for a late dinner on Friday night with my brother to celebrate his birthday. You can sort of see us in the shot above – both with iPhones cranking away, a familiar site for those of you who know us.
I wanted to feature the changing look of the River House’s deck, with the new 2nd-level outdoor deck looking like it’s well on its way to completion. The steel structure that overhangs the alley is up, and I was told last time over there that there will be a great outdoor addition (think cold beer) to the new setup. They’re also working on a second indoor dining room to expand their space. This has become one of my favorite spots for outdoor dining & adult beverages during the spring/summer….and it’ll be interesting to see everything once it’s all finished. Check out the shot below for a “before” of the outdoor area.
