The 801

The 801 is a bookable event venue in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for organisers planning corporate gatherings, meetings, wedding-related events and private celebrations. Its industrial-style interior features high ceilings and exposed brick, with an adjoining patio that gives guests room to move between indoor and outdoor areas. The venue is suited to mid-sized groups, with layouts for seated dinners, presentations, ceremonies and more informal receptions. It can accommodate up to 90 seated guests or 150 standing, depending on the setup.

For business events, organisers can arrange team meetings, presentations, networking gatherings and holiday parties. Presentation-ready audiovisual facilities support talks and slideshows, while flexible room arrangements help the space work for both structured sessions and social occasions. Tables, chairs and planning support are available, and on-site parking helps guests reach the venue.

Couples can use The 801 for intimate weddings and wedding-weekend gatherings, including welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, receptions and post-wedding brunches. Private celebrations and milestone occasions are also among the events the venue hosts.

Food and drink options are coordinated through JGroup Hospitality restaurants, with menus spanning several cuisines. Service can include passed appetisers, buffet meals, plated dinners, brunch, beer and wine, or a full bar with custom cocktails. Organisers may also use a licensed and insured outside caterer, with access to the venue's equipped kitchen. The team can discuss availability, pricing, menu choices and room layouts when an organiser makes an enquiry.
