Bar + Block Portsmouth

The Best Steak Restaurant in Portsmouth

Steaks ahoy! Cocktails ahead! At Bar + Block Portsmouth, we’re perfectly situated on the doorstep of the Historic dockyard, home to Britain’s iconic warships and within a short walk to Gunwharf Quays Outlet Shopping Centre, selling top quality brands at low prices. Pop in and kick start your day with our tender steak + eggs for breakfast. Or sit back and enjoy one of our succulent steaks, cut and cooked any way you like it. For the steak fans among us, why not treat yourself and 11 guests to a seat at our marble topped Chef’s table? Or if you’re looking for a romantic dinner spot for this week’s date night, our VIP booths give privacy and a sea view overlooking the harbour. If the weather’s on our side, we’ve also got a terraced seating area with a sea view of the historic dockyard and HMS Warrior. There’s a cocktail for every occasion, too, whether it’s an after work drink, a celebration or just because. Our mixologists are on hand ready to shake + stir your cocktail of choice or pour you a wine or beer. There’s always something for everyone.

Our location

You’ll find Bar + Block Portsmouth on Queen Street, right next to the Historic Dockyard, showcasing Britain’s maritime history and the iconic warships HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose. Or if shopping is more your thing, we’re less than a 10 minute walk from Portsmouth highstreet and Gunwharf Quays Outlet Shopping Centre and Emirates Spinnaker Tower, boasting 23 mile views overlooking Portsmouth Harbour, The Solent and The Isle of Wight.

Our team

Our front of house team at Bar + Block Portsmouth look forward to welcoming you and serving up our famous steaks, hand cut to any size and cooked to order. They’re a passionate bunch with an in-depth understanding of all things steak and wine. Over at our bar we have expert mixologists ready to help you unwind with a signature cocktail - or two! So just let us know if you have any questions, even if it’s about the city itself, and we’ll be happy to help and to make recommendations.

Chef’s choice

Resident steak experts, Allen and Paul, recommend our 12oz Spiral Cut Ribeye. Marinated for 24 hours in chimichurri sauce, freshly prepared with olive oil, garlic, fragrant herbs and diced red chilli. This dish is packed full of flavour and best served with beef dripping chips and samphire.

Chef’s choice home recipe

Allen recommends his “special” carbonara - chicken breast, bacon lardons, vegetable stock, cream, herbs and fresh tagliatelle. Simple yet delicious.
