Quick info
About Bar + Block Steakhouse Portsmouth
On Queen St in Portsmouth, Bar + Block Steakhouse serves beef-dripping popcorn before the meal to start diners off ahead of the main courses. Hand-cut chips arrive in a cast iron skillet alongside the steaks. A lunch and early-dinner menu runs separate from the main one, giving an alternative for diners outside peak hours, and a kids menu is available for families. The restaurant opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations. A free car park sits behind the restaurant for those driving in.

“We visited Bar and Block on a saturday evening and had an amazing time. The food was great but what made the experience extra special was the staff in particular Jessica. She was friendly and the smile never dropped from her face despite having a table of 16 to serve. A great asset to the venue.”

“Wanted to sit outside in the sun, no table service there. Nobody else outside, no smoking sat outside, have to go through the restaurant back out the front door, so you smoke next to the fenced terrace but not on it? Great steak, but very poor on garnish/trimmings.. for £36 was expensive for what you got!”

“Popped in for a late lunch and used the lunch menu. Service was outstanding as was the food. Initially served by Adam then Dan. Exemplary customer service from both members of the team. Food was superb. Didn't take too long and fresh. Will be back.”

“This was a stunning, top experience. Have been to steakhouse places but this really is a place of great food and ambiance, simple yet elegant, so relaxing that we’ve stayed nearly 2hours just chatting and enjoying the food. The reception desk was attentive. We went around half past one, the place was not crowded but later on crowd turned up. Food was served on time, the steak was really good. In addition, before the meal they have given us a beef-dripping popcorn which is really really good - this is a plus! Customer service was excellent, they were busy but very approachable, especially to Charde who has assisted us brilliantly! Also prices are reasonable and they do have a lunch-early-dinner menu available apart from the main menu. Located near the dockyard. A great recommendation! Parking (as in free parking) is quite difficult to find, but carpark is available behind the restaurant.”
