Was in Bar Harbor for three nights receNyla and ended up in the Midtown location on all three nights! Every single beer was great, but special mention to Cadillac Mountain Stout and Thunder Road Brown. Both amazing! There's not a bad beer on their list!!! Also, JT behind the bar was great read more

Went here twice while in Bar Harbor. Never ate but the beer was great. The black & blue is a must try and hubby loved the leaf peeping beer. Guy behind bar is kind, funny and knowledgeable. Don't forget to get their blueberry soda. I bought a six pack to make floats. Great inside or out we did both. read more

This was a fun brewery to go to. They have a BBQ place on site as well. Parking is decent in their own lot. The inside brewery area is pretty small and it was crowded when we got there. They also have outdoor seating which is where we sat.. fortunately it was warm enough for us. We tried a flight of beers. My friend ended up really liking the blueberry beer! We enjoyed hanging out there. read more

It was a dreary Wednesday (Maine needs the rain, so we didn't mind), and we headed over as the brewery opened. Pete took amazing care of us! He's the bartender, tour guide, shipment fulfiller, and just a jack of all trades! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and the tasting room was clean and large with a nice variety of merch. If they didn't have something out, Pete was willing to search for sizes and other colors. We all settled on a flight - VERY affordable and nice size pours. Each and every beer was delicious. I wish we had time for a second flight, be we had to be on our way. Be sure you taste their blueberry drink as well - they sell more of that per year than they do beer, and we saw it all over the island. It tastes fresh and there's no artificial flavor. Pete gave us many recommendations for things to do and places to try. He also gave us a tutorial on peeling lobster. If you're hungry, there is a restaurant on site (different business, but they play nice) and they have all the beers on tap there. You can also carry your flight over there. This was a charming start to another wonderful day on the island! read more

Stopped here after a long day of hiking at Acadia. They have another location in downtown Bar Harbor, but we opted to drive a little further to avoid the parking chaos and crowds of town. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. We tried several beers and didn't have anything bad, but nothing super unique or outstanding either. We tried the BBQ sampler; it's no southern BBQ but still pretty decent. The baked beans were the best we have ever had. read more

Super friendly service, great vibe inside and outside, and outside the very touristy area with easy parking. I didn't try food from Maine Meats, just drinks. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly, and I got a flight of tasters (free soda tasters!). My favorite was the blueberry ale, which has a great botanical scent and taste that's just slightly sweet while still maintaining its beer flavor. The pale ale was also great, and I don't typically like pale ales that much. Definitely check out this location of Atlantic! They have a selection of to go drinks and merch too. read more

We were tired from hiking and driving and general touring. It had started raining. And that's how we found ourselves at the Atlantic Brewing Company. They offered a small, but beautiful and comfortable taproom, great conversationalists to work the taps and a convivial environment. Oh - and really tasty beers. We left having enjoyed two hours of relaxed conversation, delicious flights and several travel tips from fellow wandered who also found themselves as ABC for the afternoon. read more

I visited several breweries while in Maine and this was my favorite one. The service, food and beer were all great. They had a good selection beer types and prices were reasonable. I sat outside, which is a nice setup and dog friendly. There's also an indoor area as well. If in the area again, I'd definitely return. read more

Really enjoyed this spot. Wanted a brewery in Maine and stumbled upon this place. Easy and quick seating and some of the best tater tots I've ever had. Beer was very tasteful too. The blueberry beer won me over - no shock there. Would absolutely recommend. Can't wait to return back on a future Maine trip. read more

Hadn't had the chance to go here in years. Beers are generally a solid 3.5/5. Thunder Hole Ale and Bar Harbor Real Ale are two non-IPA selections you should try. Don't sleep on the BBQ provided by Mainley Meats. The mixed plate with sausage, chicken, ribs and pulled pork was really well done and the portion size for the money was the best I've seen since Covid. Nice small bar inside for tasting and two outside seating areas. read more

Great service, great beers. We did have to wait a little while to get in to sit but I guess that is a testament to how awesome this place is. We did visit the gift shop while waiting and I bought this amazing hoodie which I now wear almost all the time. While it wasn't cheap, it is very nice and has held up through a lot of wear and tear. After we sat down, I loved that there is a place indoors when its a little chilly outside to just hang out. Plus you can get some snack type food and have some desserts. and some of the desserts are only local.... read more

Cool little brewery 15 min out of downtown Bar Harbor. I had the Double IPA which was very good and the Blueberry Ale is also good. I grabbed some Mountain Topper cans to take home with me as well. There is also a Mainely Meat BBQ on site for food. We got the sampler, it was average, not sure why everyone raves about this bbq, maybe it was just an off day. Ribs were dry as was the pulled pork. Sausage and chicken were both moist though and the sides (beans, coleslaw, potato salad) were okay. Glad we stopped in and would come back for beer again in the future. read more

It's one of the best breweries where I've be been actually. They have awesome beer selection and great food. You should definitely to try their meat menu. Everything so delicious.

Excellent experience here. Came here hoping it wouldn't be busy during peak season but we received a table inside right away. Our host and server were excellent. We ordered flights and a couple appetizers. Everything came out quickly and we were pleased with the service. You can see the beer tanks from your table! So cool. They also have outdoor roof seating on the second story as well. Will be back again soon when we are in the area! read more

Thank God for the Atlantic Brewing Company - especially this location! After a long hike around Jordan Pond with my 5 year old and almost 3 year old, I was beat and dying for a beer and something to eat. We were going to stop home before heading to the Brewery but luckily I checked and saw it closes at 7pm. We went right to the brewery and arrived around 6. There was a line waiting to be seated because they were short staffed but we were seated by 6:15pm and ready to order. I ordered their Blueberry Ale (which I basically drank the entire time I was out on Bar Harbor) and their pulled pork sandwich. My husband ordered the pork quesadillas and my kids had a grilled cheese and hot dog. We also ordered their root beer and blueberry sodas. The food was delicious! The pulled pork was not overly sauced and you could add your own amount of BBQ sauce from the table. My kids devoured their meals and even enjoyed some of my husband's pork quesadillas. Their root beer was very tasty, but I wasn't a big fan of their blueberry soda, a bit too sweet for me. But their blueberry ale is to die for and you better believe I bought a 24 pack to bring home. I don't mess around! I also really REALLY appreciate the fact that they have a playground for the kids. My kids had a blast playing on the playground and making friends with other kids. I was able to enjoy my beer and talk to my husband without little ones asking me when the food is going to arrive. It was a much enjoyed dinner. Thank you Atlantic Brewing Company! read more

Visited both locations on the island, both have exceptional service, and great beer! The mountain hopper IPA is one the best doubles I've had, recommend this place to everyone. read more

Swung by on a summer trip to Maine. One of the coolest breweries I've ever been to in Maine. Wish it wasn't so far north or I'd visit ABC every time I came to Maine. Great outdoor area to sit at while you enjoy a tremendous selection of beers. Also had some food options, I did not try any but from what I saw the options looked good. The staff was great and friendly. read more

This place was so cool! I highly recommend stopping here! The beer was great! My favorite was the Real Ale. I also had the pulled pork quesadilla and it was delicious! There was a band too. They started 40 minutes before the place closed down though. They also offer free tours here too. I would definitely come back here again! read more

If your thirsty and looking for a Brewery, give the Atlantic Brewing Company a chance. We arrived with 7 people and was greeted by a friendly smile of the hostess, we were seated promptly. My only complaint was being seated in a hot indoor type greenhouse. We would have gladly stayed outside but was not given the option. The beer was great, we were under the impression the flights were served at this location but was told by the waitress that it was not. Disappointed we opted for several of the beers of the day and some appetizers. Overall a pleasant experience with a decent bill in the end. Everyone enjoyed the experience. The waitress was also helpful and suggested drinks that we might like. Cheers !!! read more

Came here while on vacation for the free tour which occurs at 2, 3, and 4pm most days. The "tour" is not really a walk around tour, but those who come are brought to a garage entrance of the brewery and a short 10-minute discussion about the brew process and some samples of the ingredients are passed around to smell. Something new was the requirement to wear safety goggles even though we were not inside, and a short video of the bottles being cleaned, filled, and capped. It was pointed out that Atlantic Brewing Company keeps about 90% of its beer in Maine and 80% of that on Mt. Desert Island. They also produce about 6000 cases annually when a craft brewery can go up to 20,000 cases. After the tour, the good part happens; free samples! Today, there were six to try. After everyone showed ID, we went from light to dark. My favorite was the Summer Ale which was only going to be produced for another couple of weeks. They also had samples of Blueberry Ale, Real Ale (#2 and #1 sellers, respectively), Coffee Porter, Ginger, and a Double IPA. I pretty much realized that I'm not a beer man as I did not like most of the others. They also make blueberry soda and root beer soda. I liked the root beer a lot. The tasting room is also the gift shop with glassware, shirts, tchotchkes, some food items (some awesome hot mustard) and, of course, beer to go. Overall, a nice way to spend a couple of hours. The tour is free and so are the drink samples. On a side note, there is a BBQ restaurant on premise which smelled good, but from what I remember a few years ago was just average. $0 except the gas to get here and anything you buy at the gift shop. read more

Not a bad spot but I wish the menu was more diverse. The beer is good and the location is nice but my wife and I were hoping to eat at Atlantic and really didn't find options that appealed to either of us and we're not very picky. If you're going for beer, great. If you plan to eat there check the menu before you go. read more

After trying the Blueberry Ale at another local Bar Harbor restaurant, we had to come see what Atlantic Brewing was all about. We are SO happy that we did. The Blueberry Ale was sweet and subtle, not overbearing and it's hard to find that at certain establishments. We purchased a 4-pack of the Blueberry Ale from the storefront and the cashier was very kind and personable which we appreciated even though it was a busy Friday afternoon. We didn't try the food, but after this experience we will be back! read more

Really, really good beer! The Leaf Peeper red ale is fantastic, so is the Real Ale. My wife really enjoyed the Blueberry ale as well. And as a bonus, there's a bbq joint on the same lot serving pretty decent food. After a long day in the park this a great stop on the way back home. read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife. This location of Atlantic Brewing is their actual brewery and is located in a residential area outside Bar Harbour. The brewery itself gives tours and then has tastings and other merchandise for sale. If you go there, don't get it confused with the BBQ like we did at first as they will serve you pints and 1/2 pints but not tasters. Whenever we finally made it inside the Brewery I was pleased to hear that all of the tastings were free. The employee helping us was super nice and friendly and whenever I questioned him about why the samples were free, he explained that they didn't serve food and so they couldn't sell beer for consumption on premise. With that being said, they did have plenty of beer to go including mix and match 4 and 6 packs as well as plenty of merchandise. As for the samples, they had 6 of them (Summer Ale, Blueberry Ale, Real Ale - brown ale, Coal Porter, Island Ginger and 04609, a DIPA). Even though I only got 1 to 2 ounces of each, I enjoyed trying them. My favorite of the bunch was probably the coal porter closely followed by the 04609 which was surprisingly smooth and not overly hopped for a DIPA. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I mean hello, free beer and a nice employee to boot! However don't come here expecting to drink a lot unless you visit the restaurant next door. read more

We came in to try a flight in the tasting room and they had enough to fill it with beers not available downtown. The atmosphere is totally different than the restaurant in Bar Harbor and was very laid back and relaxed. We were in after a long day of hiking and had a good conversation with the bartender and other patrons. Definitely ask for the bartenders hiking recommendations! Favorite beers we had here were the 04609 DIPA and Bar Harbor Summer Ale. The food smelled great, so nice having that option to eat while you're there. You could not bring your flight from the tasting room to the dining/patio area as they are managed separately. Also a fun place to bring kids with a play-set! read more

We (me, myself and dog) recently visited ABC last Thursday evening. The hostess promptly sat us a dog friendly table and handed up menus. Since it was my first time visiting the brewery and it's my boyfriend's favorite Maine brewery, I wanted to sample a flight. Unfortunately, flights are only inside their tasting room and pooches are not allowed. We asked the waitress who sat us if we could go in really quickly to sample and leave the dog outside tied to the table so I could figure out what I want to order (to be clear, my dog is old and very calm, it was in the mid 50's, there was maybe a total of 20 people spread out AND the tasting room was 10 feet away from our table). We verbatim told her it wasn't a big deal if we can't, but it was worth asking. She said "No problem! We will watch her!" and made us feel pretty good about the situation. We walked in and was about to order a flight when a very petite Oliva Wilde look-alike entered the tasting room and frantically yelled over everyone in the room, "Who owns the dog outside?" We raised our hands and asked if everything was ok. Instead of being a professional (albeit she was super young) and asking to speak with us privately or to the side (so many alternatives), she very emphatically told us we weren't allowed to leave our dog alone and it was barking at a customer. We were mortified and very embarrassed for being put on blast. Ok, so let's stop there and review said experience and dialogue with prior waitress. Ok, now let's go back to present time. We apologized and told her our waitress said it was ok and we also were awfully confused because our dog rarely barks at anyone. When we followed her outside, there was a strange man crouched over her trying to pet her, which I guess Maggie (dog) didn't like his vibes because she definitely told him to back off. Ok, so let's review again. We apologized for the dog barking EVEN THOUGH some dipshit decided ignore our dog's bark to leave her alone (which is NOT normal). Never once did the frantic Olive Wilde look-alike or the original waitress apologize to me for 1) incorrect information and 2) being super unprofessional and embarrassing us in front of five other groups in the tasting room. I was obviously very upset as my boyfriend had gone on and on about his favorite brewery and the atmosphere was completely ruined by the two waitresses. We randomly ordered me a blueberry ale which was good and an ipa for him so the trip wasn't in vain. No doubt I had a RBF because when I left to use the bathroom, it was only then one of the waitresses had the thought to apologize to my boyfriend instead of to the both of us. I get it, rules are rules. But we didn't know the proper rules - we were literally told the opposite. And be facking gracious. We are customers. While the beer was good - it wasn't that good to overlook the unprofessionalism displayed by their employees. The two stars is simply for the ales. Good riddance. read more

Local brewery that's been around for 30 years. Jeremy the server was so helpful and informative. We tasted the Summer Ale, Blueberry Ale, Real Ale ( their most popular) and Cadillac Mountain Stout. All beers were delicious. I preferred the lighter Summer and Blueberry Ales while the hubs liked the Real Ale and Cadillac Mtn Stout. We also tasted the Brother Adams Bragget, which was honey beer aged in oak barrels with 10.5%. Prices were very reasonable at $2.50 for 5 oz or 4 flight for $8.00. read more

After running the Marathon at MDI we moseyed on over to Atlantic Brewing. Note: This is the only Brewery on Mount Dessert Island and also the only Brewery within a 100 mile radius. Due to licensing requirements mandated by the state of Maine, regular pints can only be served in the neighboring building which also houses the BBQ business, which was closed for the season, but while the BBQ business was closed the bar is where pints were served was open. (Things seem to quiet down after Columbus Day). The building housing the merchandise doubles as the tasting room and can only serve tastings which are free for adults over 21 years of age. We tasted all 6 of the beers in the tasting room and after purchasing a tank top for Nicole walked over to the bar next door to have our pint of the favorite Coffee Stout. I'd rate the beer here as average: drinkable but not noteworthy. Another Yelper used the word "safe" to describe the beer, which is accurate. The ingredients are quality but the flavor and originality is missing. All of the beers were fashioned similarly, and tasted pretty much the same. According to Adam, our server who was very knowledgeable, a new facility is being built where more original beers will be created and I think that's really what's missing here. Nevertheless, if you want to try a different Brewery and want to broaden your zymological interests, come here and talk to Adam about the Hops Chart. While you are at it have a beer! read more

Anytime we head over to Bar Harbor, this is our stop on the way home. We always sample the beers, but honestly, we come for the mustard. Seriously, try the mustard!! Overall, Atlantic Brewing Company makes the most drinkable beers. They definitely have something for everyone. I love their Island Ginger and Real Ale, while my husband loves their Leaf Peeper and their Coffee Porter. Whatever specialty Hops beer they had that week was particularly tasty, but that beer changes often. Their Blueberry Ale is a top seller, but I love that in the summer when I'm lounging outside. We typically create our own 6 pack and grab a mustard for the road. Seriously, we love their mustard. If we have time and don't have the dog, we will stay for some Mainly Meat BBQ. It's delicious and they often have music playing on the weekend. It's a great place to just wind down after a long day in Acadia. I've seen so many reviews talking about how "touristy" it is, but beer people seek out breweries wherever they go, so I see it as a sign of a well-known and well-thought of brewery! If the parking lot is full, they must be good! (especially when they are a little off of the beaten path.) If you're a beer drinker and you're visiting Bar Harbor, give them a holler. read more

Great local brewery. We sampled several of their local brews, including a blueberry cider which my wife really liked. They also have a blueberry soda and a root beer that are excellent. We purchased several 6-packs to take home. read more
