University of New Hampshire: Best Late Night Food Spots

It’s late at night, you’ve been studying for exams, and suddenly you realize you’re starving. But it’s late, like really late, and there’s nothing to eat in your dorm fridge. Have no fear. There are several local late-night spots around the University of New Hampshire, but not all of them are open past 11 p.m. If it’s getting to be past midnight, head out to the neighboring towns of Dover and Portsmouth for some more options. Here are the best late-night eateries offering up just about anything you could be craving at all hours of the night.

The Dover Brickhouse, Dover, NH

Open for dining until 10 p.m. on weeknights and 11 p.m. on Saturdays, the Dover Brickhouse is just a few minutes away from UNH, and their food is yummy. Enjoy burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips and more. Their loaded nachos and artichoke spinach dip are amazing.
