Black Trumpet Bistro in Portsmouth, Rockingham County, United States | Bistro

Black Trumpet Bistro is a two-story Bistro and wine bar in the heart of the historic old port of Portsmouth, New Hampshire in the United States. Both floors offer views of the Piscataqua River and the oft-photographed tugboats that still escort enormous tankers into the harbor.
The building that houses Black Trumpet Bistro claims historical significance for two reasons. Signatures on the hand-hewn beams in the wine bar from the early 19th century reveal the space?s original occupant, a ship?s chandlery that sold wares to the many colonial ships using the harbor. On a more contemporary historical note, the address 29 Ceres has hosted two of the most distinguished dining destinations the Seacoast area has ever seen, Blue Strawberry (1970-1996), and Lindbergh?s Crossing (1996-2007).
