This restaurant and bar seamlessly marries a warm, inviting atmosphere with an impressive menu that caters to diverse palates, making every visit feel like a special occasion.

When it comes to cuisine, Hagan's Grill excels in presenting an array of dishes that sparkle with freshness and thoughtful preparation. Their menu boasts standout classics such as the crispy, golden Fried Calamari, elegantly paired with marinara sauce, which delivers a perfect balance of tender seafood and savory dipping. For those who savor the taste of the sea, the Linguine and Clams is a must-try—celebrated by patrons for its rich, briny, yet delicate flavor profile. Highlighting their versatility, the Fish & Chips, offered gluten-free, has been praised for its fresh haddock fillet, lightly battered and fried to a crisp, flaky perfection that melts in your mouth.

Beyond the sea, Hagan's Grill tantalizes with robust dishes like the Lamb Lollipops, full of juicy, tender meat with flavors that linger delightfully, and the Short Rib Raviolo, which envelops you in warm, hearty satisfaction. Freshness and scratch-made quality shine throughout their menu, from the vibrant Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken to the lightly crispy Veggie Spring Rolls accompanied by a sweet and spicy chili sauce—a dish that perfectly balances texture and flavor.

Adding to the sensory experience are their expertly crafted cocktails, which elevate the dining experience to a full sensory indulgence. Whether you’re savoring the creamy Nespresso Martini, delighting in the bright, citrus notes of the Perfect Margarita, or enjoying a refreshing Aperol Spritz, the bar program here complements every meal beautifully. Their carefully curated wine selection—from crisp Pinot Grigio to rich Pinot Noir—meets the demands of wine lovers looking to pair their glass with their plate perfectly.

Hagan's Grill’s atmosphere is a highlight in itself: cozy yet spacious, it encourages intimate conversation without feeling crowded.

Friendly, knowledgeable servers are frequently mentioned for their attentive and upbeat service, which adds warmth and professionalism to the experience.

Dessert lovers will find themselves spoiled here. Indulge in the silky House Made Key Lime Pie with its tangy sweetness, or the classic Crème Brûlée that presents a perfect, delicate caramelized crown locking in a creamy custard beneath. For a homey finish, the Brownie Sundae’s rich chocolate goodness paired with cold ice cream is the perfect capstone to a carefully balanced meal.

Hagan's Grill truly shines as a place where culinary craftsmanship and genuine hospitality intersect. Its thoughtful menu, exceptional service, and inviting ambiance create a dining experience that is equally suitable for a celebratory night out or a relaxed gathering with friends away from the bustling tourist paths.

    What a wonderful dinning experience we had, we had the roasted artichoke hearts with peppers plus the vegetables spring rolls. Our linguine and clams were fantastic and they also accommodate my wife with oil instead of cream. Lovely spot if you want to get away for the tourists areas and have a drink with your friends. Fine dining at its best and definitely a must to try :)

    Hagan's Grill is a popular local spot. The atmosphere is cozy. The tables are well separated. Nice bar area. I had the vegetable stir fry with the noodles. Other than the hard to eat, what I believe was a sun dried tomato, the sauce was good and the other veggies were okay. My wife had the fish and chips, which she said was like a hockey puck. We have had the fish and chips before at Hagan's and it was excellent, so maybe we were just unlucky the other night. They had a special for a 12 oz. Pork chop that I was going to get until I heard the price. I figured i could cook a pork chop on my grill for probably 2 bucks and I wasn't going to fork over 38. If you haven't been, I would suggest that you give them a try. Not everybody has the same taste buds and pocketbook. You just might love it, we have in the past and might again in the future.

    This restaurant is a GEM. We consistently get 5-star service, 5-star Meals, and the pricing is WAY better than any restaurant in downtown Portsmouth. You can also make a reservation on Open-Table, which I really appreciate! The atmosphere is intimate and great for conversations. They make a lot of things from scratch here, which is important to me. Plenty of free parking nearby. We are foodies and have been coming here for years and we’re never disappointed.

    We had a great dining experience at Hagans! Started with fried artichoke hearts; they were light and crispy mixed with sweet peppers, followed by fish and chips; amazing fresh piece of haddock. I had the pork medallions that had a sweet blueberry sauce, and wonderfully paired with sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. We finished our meal with the best creme brulee! 10/10 Thank you to Joel our bartender/server who was kind and professional!

    We went in around 8 pm, not sure when they closed or if they were still serving food. (They're open til 11pm) It's a large space with people mainly congregating at the bar. We sat at a high top between the bar and the dining room. Our server was amazing! Bubbly, knowledgeable and fast to bring our food out and clear the dishes. She hustled and did her job efficiently, like a true veteran. We started our culinary experience with a charcuterie board, as they were all out of the empañada. It had prosciutto, salami, smoked gouda and a cranberry Cheddar cheese (very crumbly, but delicious!) The savory mustard and pickles complemented the figs and apricots perfectly, when topped with a drizzle of honey. There was nothing to serve the honey with or spread the mustard onto the toast, so we had to use our dinnerware. We both ordered the short ribs with mashed potatoes and asparagus. One was plated absolutely perfectly with an even amount of food centered on the plate. The other looked like they were running out of asparagus and mashed potatoes. The portion of short rib looked deceivin. It was very rich, tender and perfectly cooked. And very filling! We finished our meal with a creme brulé, which was topped with fruit, and very creamy and delightful! We plan to return to try the rest of the menu!

    Chef Jose made the very best Butternut Squash soup that warmed from the inside out. The shrimp was divine, too. Jenn was a very attentive and kind server. The night was a real treat!

    There is a reason why Hagan's is consistently packed with people. The food may just be the best in the Hampton Beach area. Everything from the app to the desert were phenomenal. Prosciutto Wrapped Cod, Shrimp Linguine and Crispy Skin Salmon. All fresh and perfectly cooked. Then a brownie sundae to end it all. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and friendly and recommended a bourbon when the one I wanted was 86'd. Did I use that right? 86'd? I don't work in the industry, I just hang out in them. Gimme a break

    Hagan's is a cozy choice in the Hampton area. The menu changes seasonally and contains a variety of options. This visit really blew my mind. The Blackened Salmon was cooked perfectly and paired well with the flavorful mango & pineapple salsa. We were also pleasantly surprised with the Creme Brulee and my husband's swordfish. Prices are reasonable, and you can easily spend under $100 for a delicious meal. The service at Hagan's is unmatched! Cassie called before our reservation to confirm our table choice, and all of the staff were the sweetest. Dora, the owner, truly cares about making her guests happy. We'll be back soon.
