Pulled pork sandwich
Danielle V.

I always go here when my dad is in town cause he drives his motorcycle. A fun spot with lots of different areas and live music a lot of times. The food is really good bar food and the drinks are strong. The service is always friendly. They also have a couple different merchant tents. I enjoy this place in the summer and seeing all the different bikes.

Had an amazing night with some local friends and made a bunch of new friends. First of this place is huge... Inside bar is roomy with lots of tables surrounding their famous Bentleys hog... a must photo opp... I waited til I had a few drinks in me! Outside bar is inside a tent area with more seating, we hung-out her for a bit. You could still hear the live band playing outside but we had some cool air and right next to the bar. There's a massive fire pit near the stage area too. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and people, so friendly. It's a backyard style courtyard with a bunch of your neighbors. Beer was delicious all night long cold and no waiting. Lone pine Portland pale ale was my go to. Also enjoyed the Bentleys beer and some Kona big wave. Bartenders were so much fun, they all seem to love what they do and make sure to talk with all their guests. It really becomes one big party. I didn't want to go!! Can't wait to go back!

A fun spot lots to see and do good food done well. Not hard to find easy enough to drive in and out of. Lots of space for when it gets busy. Nice friendly staff. A gift shop inside. There is a on sight motel.

Side Caesar and cup of lobster stew (two large chunks of lobster at the bottom)
Rachel C.

Fun fall drink menu, fast friendly service and a classic 'biker' hang out feel. I ordered the lobster stew based on the 8 yr old photo on here - guessing lobster costs have significantly changed the amount they put in but the flavor was good (only reason for 4 stars). Gets busy fast and TONS of places to sit, I have no idea how the wait staff keeps it all straight! All around fun time.

Hi Friends, A seasonal biker bar/ event space nestled alongside route 1 between Portsmouth, NH & Portland, ME. Boogied out to Bentley's earlier this week while on other errands. Food was good, beverages were ice cold, and there was a free car show happening out front Legendary New England Supermodified ace (and 2 time Indy 500 competitor from the days when 50-60 cars tried to get into the 33 car field) Bentley Warren has taken a one room dive bar and added a motel, campgrounds, outdoor seating and a serious spot for live music. Busy on a Tuesday late afternoon, and full of friendly faces, both the staff and the clientele. You don't need to be a biker to enjoy the scene, seemed to be about an even split between bikers, gear heads and tourists. In fact, about the only real nod to the biker community was the sign declaring "Bentley's is a neutral space, biker colors are not welcomed".

Solid place with tasty food. Great waitress and waiters! It's also a very fun place with both outdoor and indoor seating!

Mallory S.

Had a blast. The food was great and love the friendly biker bar. Good place for a date night with hubby. Had fun shooting pool. Fast and friendly service and can't wait to go back soon.

Bar area with the pig

Super cool dive bar with really friendly people and live music. Be sure to get your picture with the pig (you can sit on it if you want, there's a ladder under the table)

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the lively biker bar atmosphere, live music and entertainment, and friendly and attentive staff. Food, especially lobster specials and tater tots, is well-liked.

We just dined there, and the dish I had was a six out of five stars. We have eaten there for years…read moreand always found it to be excellent. I had some trepidation about going after it was sold, and after I read some so-so reviews, and the menu is different. The spinach and garden salads need some jazzing up, but I had the Statler Chicken entree, and I have to say that it was outstanding and probably the best chicken entree I have had at a restaurant. I heartily recommend it, and we will return. We live twenty minutes away, and it is worth the trip. The spicy margarita was also excellent. The waitress, Julia, was attentive but not intrusive. She was great. So yeah, the Village Tavern is worth the trip.

For years, Village Tavern was my favorite restaurant in Southern Maine. That's what makes this…read morereview so difficult to write. If you loved Village Tavern under the previous owners, you should know that the beloved restaurant you remember no longer exists. The name is the same. The esthetic is the same. Some menu items even have the same names. But the experience is not. During our visit, the calamari, salmon, duck, and haddock were all cooked properly, yet each dish was surprisingly bland and forgettable. Many longtime favorites, including the wide selection of side dishes like the broccoli with blue cheese, are gone. This isn't a bad restaurant on its own merits. The problem is that it's trading on the reputation of something that no longer exists. What I find most puzzling is that the new owners kept the Village Tavern name while abandoning so much of what made it successful. When a restaurant has earned decades of loyalty, you would expect new ownership to preserve its strengths. Instead, it feels like they discarded the very things that built its reputation. I left disappointed, but mostly sad. A restaurant I once considered one of the best in Southern Maine is now simply pedestrian and overly priced. Former fans should adjust their expectations accordingly or avoid the disappointment altogether.

Unfortunately, no outdoor dining before Memorial Day. Great knowledgeable and attentive service with Paul. Upstairs was busy but not crowded. Food was fantastic. Wild mushroom soup was delicious. A tasting of sunchokes, pan seared mousam bakery mushrooms and shishito peppers made a meal for one of the party and still had leftovers. Best was the entree, Maine style palusami was a complex flavor concoction that was a home run. Finished with black forest cake. Hope to return again from the West Coast.

The menu (as far as I could tell) changes frequently, and it features several vegetarian dishes and small plates, in addition to other mains. The drink menu had some really fun offerings, and both cocktails were got were delicious. The food was very good as well, but nothing that blew us away. We were disappointed that they sat us in a different part of the restaurant than we reserved, which felt odd considering we specifically had to choose which area we were reserving a table in and it wasn't a busy night, but it was no big deal at all. All around was a great experience and we will return.

My favorite part is that it still feels part of the mill system while having an updated aesthetic. It doesn't feel out of place - it feels right IN place.

We had to park at the lot near the mill buildings and water and walk a pretty good distance to get to the restaurant but I guess I could use a few steps. Walked in it was very loud where they wanted to seat us under the canopy where there were some unruly bar patrons so they brought us to a quieter area. We sat for a long while before being greeted by our server. But we still wanted to give it a shot. We ordered poutine with portobello mushrooms and the three tables around us got their full meals before we got our appetizer. Then, she took our main course order and like the app, the food took forever and we are usually very patient. The server was super nice but just was very slow and the fries in the poutine were cold. The main course was a root salad that my wife thought was pretty good with turnips and vinaigrette. I had clam chowder and calamari/shrimp dish ... I paid almost 20 bucks for the calamari and got about 5 pieces and 4 small shrimp and the chowder had no flavor. We then asked for a box to put her salad in and the waitress forgot. Until she realized as she was dropping off the check. I don't think we will be back .. maybe just for the outdoor patio ambiance but, not the food.

The atmosphere was warm and elegant, and the service was attentive and professional throughout. The prix fixe menu offered tantalizing selections in every course, making it difficult to choose!

Not what I'd expect from a prix-fixe restaurant. As best I could tell, the decor was woodsy lodge. Fortunately, we had a light over our table that allowed us to appreciate the presentation of the dishes. SERVICE: The staff was welcoming, cordial, and mostly attentuve, though I couldn't understand much of what pur server said because of the din. It took a while for our order to be taken and the first course to arrive, but after that things moved along more smoothly. FOOD: Everyone enjoyed their dishes. My first course, tempura eggplant was novel, attractive. and tasty. My lobster fettucini second course was delicate and rich. The scallops in my main course were tender, tasty, and mostly grit-free. My dessert, tiramisu, was dryer and less voluptuous than I expected. The wines I tried from a decent compact list were appropriate and enjoyable. For the most part, the food was quite good - I'd rate it 4*. The dim, noisy ambiance was unpleasant, though; I would not return.
