About The Shanty
The Shanty provides exactly what you would expect from nearby restaurants and bars-delicious food, good atmosphere and great time with great people. It doesn't matter if you show up in a t-shirt, team jersey or suit. Welcome everybody. Whether you are looking for a dinner menu suitable for the whole family, or hanging out with friends for a night or looking for a seat in the bar to watch a game or looking for a special event, the shed will serve you. The co-owners of the shantytown, Joe Scalotto and Bob O'Leary are Portsmouth natives, and they have lived in the area for their entire lives. When they were in their 20s, The Shanty often wandered in the legendary fish shed in Portsmouth.
