Maybe the most modern eatery and brew pub in the entire Mt Desert Island. Friendly folk drawing drafts of delicious delight. The food has expanded over time. Duck wings and truffle fries this time were excellent. The rooftop is fun on a cool afternoon. The downstairs offers street views and modern high seats... all in all you won't be disappointed!! read more

I cant speak to the drinking experience here (the main attraction, i know). Its a cute place with good ambiance but the "shrimp ceviche" i ordered was nothing of the sort. Just loose, sugar water with shrimp sprinkled in served with what tasted like stale chips. read more

I've been a fan of Atlantic Brewing for years, and their main location is my go-to haunt every summer when I come to town. My time was short this year, but I didn't want to have a summer without a little Atlantic Brewing love. So we popped into the Midtown location for the first time. It was a little rainy, so we sat inside. But it looked like they also have some pretty cool outdoor space for options during better weather. Service was great, and the food offered a little more variety than the BBQ at the main location. Small plates. Different options. A nice change of pace. All on top of their usual excellent beer! So we were so pleased to snack on duck wings and a couple charcuterie boards, which really hit the spot after a day in Acadia and poking around the shops in Bar Harbor. read more

Definitely an amazing place. They had a discount on lobster rolls on Wednesday and Sunday, and we came on Sunday. I had lobster roll and my husband had fish sandwich. Food was absolutely amazing and with a discount it was even better. It's not a typical brewery with beer and a few snacks. They have a very extensive menu, so you can come here even if you don't drink beer. Service was quick and attentive. Ambiance is very laid back and chill. We definitely had a relaxing afternoon there. Totally recommend. read more

Atlantic Brewing Midtown - Lobster roll - Breweries Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

25$ Sunday lobster roll! Generous amount of lobster. Actually fantastic. Pretzel was barely warm and the beer cheese resembled a salad dressing more than beer cheese. Mustard was great, flavor of the pretzel was great. Flight of beer had my hopes set high. Everything was super hoppy! If that's your thing great-- but calling it a "helles" is a stretch. Blueberry ale was by far the best, mountain hopper a second. Everything else made me wish I didn't do a flight... Salad on the lobster roll was generous. Cheese plate was not. It was supposed to be smoky but the cheese was not very smoky. Blue cheese had brown ooze and light green pockets when I sliced in. Tasted fine, but did not seem very fresh (was chilled). read more

Good beer, okay service, nice ambiance - typical brew house vibes. Had a salad and an appetizer which was pretty greasy. Salad was good tho! Maybe we should've had more beer? read more

Some of the friendliest staff I've met in the North East! Great beer selection I enjoyed several of all of them, and would highly recommend the Ellen Coffee Stout if available! This brewery had plenty of space to catch up with friends or hangout, and had plenty of board games to play while enjoying a few brews! Had an early dinner here on a Saturday and although relatively busy seating was still plentiful! Enjoyed the Korean BBQ Duck Wings and the Day's Special Short Rib Sandwich both were delicious and honestly left me wishing the portion of the wings was a little bigger. The Sandwich was good, but still left me a bit hungry (secret tip is to add the extra KBBQ sauce from the wings onto the sandwich... you'll thank me later ). 5 stars even though my food review was slightly negative-ish because it's a brewery not a restaurant. Cheers! read more

Great food, great service! We got the panko crusted fish with fries which husband doesn't usually choose since he likes beer battered fish better. However another diner said this was the best fish and fries in town so we took a gamble. It was good. Not great but solid. My husband misunderstood me and while I was in the restroom washing my hands (*cue preparing to eat fries!!*), he ordered the parm truffle fries! Needless to say, it was a LOT of fries!! Lol!! But honestly, Im glad he ordered them because they were the best parm truffle fries I've ever had! Actually shaved parmesan cheese and you could really taste the truffle oil! So freaking good!!! I got a Standard Beer flight - fantastic! Hubby got the blueberry soda which was amazing!! Would definitely come back! read more

The good - the beer is phenomenal; come for the beer and conversations with friends. The bad - the food is prepared as if an afterthought. Dinner tonight was their fish and chips full dinner - this should be a no-brainer knock-out-of-the-park for Bar Harbor. It was not. While the fries were fresh and a good selection of crisp and flavor, they arrived warm not hot - as if they had been cooked abt ten minutes prior in a big batch and I was served a portion of that batch. The haddock was a full on disappointment. While it was crispy on the outside, and had a good flake to the fish texture, it arrived at room temperature and a bit of a chew that suggested it was been microwaved more than once - but not this time. It was full on room temperature. It was ok at best, and it was eaten. when my friends fly in mid week I am finding a different brew pub to take them out to. To quote a great man: "My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined," read more

This place is modern and clean The beer flight we had was perfect as well as the pretzel for an app. The rest of the entrees were not worth it The shrimp ceviche was terrible, too much liquid which consisted of a heavy dose of sugar and vinegar. The prosciutto panino was disappointing as well. The smash burger was dry and the short rib was similar to a plain roast beef sandwich. If you just want good beers then I would recommend. read more

Beers were good. Food was fine. We had a cute table by the window and enjoyed lots of people watching. We tried a few tasters of beer and our kids ordered chicken nuggets and grilled cheese from the kid's menu. We never received one, but saw online before we came. My veggie burger was just okay (not a fan of the tomato relish and it wasn't too robust) and my husband thought his sandwich was also fine. Fries were an up charge so we opted for the chips. Service was great and we all loved the blueberry soda and rootbeer they make. Probably the best two things we had. read more

We walked by this place so many times during our stay in Bar Harbor, we had to stop in. We stopped in for a nightcap beer after dinner. I chose the Cadillac Mountain stout to celebrate our climb to the same mountain a few days earlier. Loved the rich taste and flavors that popped. We sat upstairs at the window ledge. While it was dark out, we enjoyed watching the people pass by and seeing all the activity on Cottage Street. Staff was helpful. Good stop. read more

We went here because of the Blueberry Ale. They had good beer offerings but didn't hit the mark with the food. We ordered the fried duck wings, bratswurst, prosciutto panini, and Thai chicken. The best food option was the bratswurst. The service was very quick and the place is a good place to catch up with friends over beer. read more

My go-to brewery every time I am in Bar Harbor, Maine as a beer fanatic. There are a lot of seatings - two floors for indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. You can either do beer flights, or a pint, or even just small 5oz tasting pour. I love their wide range of beer selection. They also have a huge food menu for those who wanna grab a bite as well. I love the vibes of this place. There is nothing to complain about the service either. -8/10 read more

Good selection of beer. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any cider (not a beer drinker) so I tried a Rose. It wasn't the greatest (but I still drank it all lol). My husband had a flight and enjoyed all the flavors. We also ordered the pretzel - holy giant pretzel! It came with mustard and beer cheese. Very good! It's a bit pricey here, but it is a tourist town! It's in an out of the way location so that was great (not so crowded). There's no "FREE" parking in Bar Harbor, but we snagged a spot right in front of the brewery. Make sure you watch your meter (app). We did see someone walking around and writing tickets! read more

The food was delicious here. I had the lobster roll with some truffle fries that were spectacular best lobster roll I've had in a while! I tried a beer flight, and I enjoyed most of them. The server was friendly. The environment there is very modern and chill. There was nobody there for lunch which I thought to be strange on account of how good my experience was here. Good job guys. read more

We stopped here after a day hiking through Acadia national park. It was a really busy Saturday even though it was rainy in the park and in the city of Bar Harbor. We hopped in and I thought there would be more beer selection. The beer was just okay and wasn't really anything special. The service was decent. There wasn't anything that stood out to me about this brewery as it was average. read more

Friendly bar staff here and suggested a good flight to try. The only drawback was that it closes early in May. Beer choices were good and would recommend the bar harbor real ale. They also have blueberry ale but didn't try it. Would recommend for friendly service and good read more

So we came to the Atlantic brewing Company, and we had a beer. These are all locally brewed beers, and they were amazing. We did not get a very good recommendation or feel from our tour guide about the food, we did see quite a few people eating, however, we chose not to eat. Quite a variety of items and they all looked pretty decent but again we can't give an honest review of the food since we did not eat here. But come in, have a seat upstairs look out of the glass windows and enjoy the view with a cold brew! read more

While the interior decor is stark to non-existent, the beer is good: that's what you want in a brewery. Five-ounce tastes: $3. Flight of any five tastes: $14. Pints: $8. Brewing beer is like printing money. The real ale is an easy drinking brown ale with a creamy mouthfeel and 4.8 percent ABV. The Simcoe-, Citra- and Mosaic-based mountain hopper IPA is citrusy and a little dank: a good IPA. Crisp and slightly malty, the low life lager (4.4 percent ABV) is reminiscent of a Kolsch more than an American lager. The Oktoberfest, a martzen-style lager (5.6 percent ABV) is good, but a little light on bitterness. The prosciutto panino was good, but had too much Dijon mustard. Salads are large, but lack the option to add protein. Sandwiches are served with potato chips. At Atlantic Brewing, beer is first; food is second. Better for a few brews and a bite, rather than a meal with some beer on the side. read more

We tried to get into this place two nights in a row during high tourist season and they rented the entire place out for a private party, including a Friday night. That should tell you how good their beer and food is... nothing special. They are the only brewery in town and that is the only thing keeping them in business. Beer was mediocre, service was good and it's a nice place. However, you are better off going to another bar or restaurant and ordering other ME beers that are much better. read more

Really enjoyed this spot while in Bar Harbor. Got to try some local made beer. I had the Blueberry Ale, it had the perfect taste of blueberry and wasn't too sweet. My boyfriend had the Mt Hopper Hazy IPA which apparently is their most popular, he really enjoyed it. We had to sit at the bar since we weren't eating any food. Their food did look good but we didn't check out the menu. They also had some outdoor chairs for seating out there, however it was chilly that day. read more

Recommend the beer flight with a big pretzel. They have a lobster roll special on Wednesday that was good.

Great place!! They were really busy and staff maintained positive attitude. I enjoyed some half pours of their beers. For dinner, I got the Atlantic blt. It was so good. The bread was great. read more

Solid spot. 8 beers on tap. We got a custom flight for $14 which came with 5 tastings vs the normal 4 which was nice. Beer was excellent, especially their flagship beer (Real Ale). Food was good for a brewery. Pretzel was top notch, came out piping hot and the cheese it came with was to die for. We also got the prosciutto panini and jalepeno popper grilled cheese. Both could have used a little more stuffing but the flavors were good. Food: 3/5 on a regular scale; 4/5 for a brewery Drinks: 4/5 - wish there was a little more variety Vibe: 3.5/5 - not much going on but we did go midday on a Wednesday Value: 4/5 - beer was a good value since we got 5 vs 4 and the pretzel was large Service: 5/5 - super nice people and attentive read more

Stopped by the Midtown location of Atlantic Brewing after spending the morning/early afternoon at Acadai National Park. The blueberry ale was just what I needed after a day if hiking/siteseeing. It was light, refreshing, and slightly sweet, with hints of blueberry coming through at the end. Shared the fish and chips, with came with three generous pieces of panko crusted haddock and tons of fries. Really good! I also tried some of the Midtown smash burger, which was super juicy and flavorful. The burger was pretty thick at 8oz and came topped with crispy bacon, smoked gouda, and garlic aioli. In addition to my beer, I also had some of the Old Soaker blueberry soda, which I found to be just okay. Could barely taste the blueberries. Definitely prefer Maine Root over this one. Service was good. Parking could be hard to find in Bar Harbor. Although there are plenty of lots and street parking (both of which you have to pay for), you'll likely have to circle around a few times before finding a spot. read more

We visited mid-afternoon in the summer. Our food was meh. The fries, BLT, and crab/goat cheese quesedilla were lukewarm at best. The fish in the fish and chips order was warmer and very good. The blueberry ale was marginal. Pretty expensive for not great fare. Service was good and everyone was friendly. read more

Great friendly service from Ivona. She was tending the bar but noticed us standing at the host stand for a minute or two without being greeted and made her way over to help us.

We drank a LOT of beer on our 8 day road trip through New England... and Atlantic had, by far, the best of all we tried. We love craft breweries and their selection was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed every beer on our flight, which is not common for us. We thought their menu was a little strange for our personal food taste, but we were just grabbing a snack so we ordered the pretzel and it was truly delicious! Our server was great. We did have a very short wait considering it was a Saturday night with plenty of tourists walking around. Great experience, wish we had come back for a full meal - next time! read more

The beers here are fantastic and the Lobster Grilled Cheese was phenomenal! Maine is known for blueberries so we had to try the blueberry ale. I'm not usually a fan of fruited beers but this one was a pleasant surprise, you have to try it. If your traveling with a buddy, I recommend getting a flight to split so you get a chance to try more beer! Be sure to check the hours because this brewery is only open during the season, we got lucky and they opened early during our visit. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Detailed breakdown below: **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Beautiful venue -- plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, really clean, and spacious. The high ceilings do a lot! **Presentation of the food, 5/5** Ready to dig into! **Taste of the food, 5/5** - Truffle fries, 5/5: You can taste the truffle and the fries are the perfect amount of crunchy. The ratio of parmesan to fries is also great! - Shrimp w curried mayo, 5/5: Wow, I didn't expect to like this combo so much. The shrimp were big and perfectly cooked, and the curried mayo was DELICIOUS. Together, an unexpected but lovely marriage of flavors and textures. I'll probably try to recreate this at home and get disappointed because I won't be able to hit the nail on the head like this place has done. **Other notes** A 5 flight of beer is only $12! read more

We came for the ambiance - sat on the rooftop deck overlooking Cottage Street to people watch. It was a clean place and the service was good. My husband ordered a flight of beers that he liked, but nothing stood out as being amazing. I got a glass of white wine and we shared the world's largest soft pretzel. It was very filling but pretty expensive for cooked dough. Needless to say we didn't need to order any more food or drink. We were stuffed! read more

In our week in Bar Harbor, we came twice, the beer was that good. By far the best Blueberry Ale. And the apps were awesome-had the eggs (there are 8 halves!) and the pretzel. Didn't have a beer we didn't like. Sat inside one and outside once--both were fun, both had great service. Best place for beers we found in Bar Harbor! read more

Best brewery in Bar Harbor, bar none. To be fair, it may be the only brewery in town, but it was also excellent. So good, we made two stops here on our trip. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This is a wonderful brewery in Maine. We had their beer at a lobster place earlier in the day and were delighted to try their own brewery while we were there. We ordered a flight with different ones but I remember the blueberry ale and the chocolate stout being a crowd fav. We were stuffed from our earlier meals so did not order any food but had a good time here. The vibe is casual, decor is nice and there is plenty of seating for large groups too. Do check their hours as they do close for the winter. All in all a great atmosphere and a huge fan of their beers. Cheers! read more
