The Franklin

The Franklin Portsmouth's Neighborhood Oyster Bar The Franklin building began serving oysters in downtown Portsmouth in 1867.
(546)

Today, almost 150 years later, The Franklin has revived this downtown Portsmouth tradition serving a variety of locally-harvested oysters as well as an artful array of small plates, veggie dishes, and handcrafted cocktails. You can always expect top-notch from Moxy’s sister restaurant!
