Two Men and a Truck Chesapeake

Twisted Pig Ale & Smokehouse is one of those unassuming nightlife places that is as comfortable as a pair of favorite jeans. The folks here are friendly and welcoming to anyone who strolls in and takes their place on one of the many bar stools. The waiters and waitresses are always serving up your favorite beverages along with a large helping of great service. A fun, relaxing place to enjoy a few drinks with friends on those nights when you don't feel like dressing up or dealing with large crowds.

Whether you are Jewish or not, you will find something truly compelling and thought-provoking when you pay a visit to Portsmouth's Jewish Museum and Cultural Center. The Chevra T'helim Synagogue now serves as the museum and center and offers visitors a chance to see a stunning example of European Jewish Orthodoxy. Various exhibits and presentations offer the opportunity for visitors to learn about the tradition of the faith as well as key historical events that have both shaped it and challenged it.

There is no question that Portsmouth is a city that is proud of history. And you can even reach back and experience a bit of it for yourself when you take the popular Olde Towne Lantern Tour. This is a walking tour of the Olde Towne Historic District and your guide not only leads the way with a big lantern, but he is also dressed in period attire to add to the authenticity of the tour. Held at twilight, you will visit some of Olde Towne's most significant attractions and structures, and hear about the legends and folklore that are still very much alive here.
