There's a new place coming in to Portsmouth and I can't remember when I've been THIS excited!!

Coming in the Summer of 2021, Jimmy's on Congress. Specifically, 135 Congress.

From their website, this is their mission statement:

Inspirational jazz and blues paired with fine cuisine, libations and a lively scene … all in a spectacularly restored local landmark.

The Labrie family is building this ultra-hip place, formerly the YMCA building, to bring more music, more art and great food to Downtown Portsmouth. They have kept what they could to maintain the history of the building and if you take a tour of the finished space, you will be very impressed.

No word yet if they are still on track to open during that time or if there have been any delays.
