After having a drink on the wharf my friend and I went over to Coat of Arms for a beer. It was 10pm and I ordered a Bass and my friend ordered a Black and Tan. The bartender began to pour our beers and then said, ""You guys are cut off. You need to leave. I saw you swavering."" I said, ""First off, I've literally had one beverage, and secondly, 'swavering' is not a word."" He then raised his voice to a yell and said, ""I've made my decision and I won't back down, now move on."" Having just moved to Portsmouth from California I was extremely disappointed with this service. After speaking with a few other people around town I learned that this place has a record of tossing people who really aren't intoxicated. The whole experience was totally rediculous. I felt like the bartender was seriously getting off on kicking us out. Total power trip. The place is lame.
