    Don't drive too fast down Bath Rd, because you'll miss a fun and tasty time at Black Pug Brewing! The staff here are some of the nicest brewery staff around. It's like you are hanging at their house and they're just being the best hosts around at a fun happy hour party with new friends you're meeting for the first time. I love the simple/easy atmosphere here, with people of all ages and and backgrounds. All are welcome. The variety of beer here is great too, something for any of beer friends, and that's saying a lot. The swag they sell is fun and animal friendly as well. I happened to go during their anniversary party and it was packed! So many fun brews to mark the occasion and to celebrate, I bought myself of their hoodies...one of the softest hoodies, I have ever had. Loving it during the fall/winter temps. The Untapped Board is fun!! I have never seen this in the area breweries. Beer social media is the most fun :) There is a food truck outside for most weekends..they also sell delicious bagged snacks inside. For those not drinking beer, they also sell locally made Green Bee soda. There is a pinball machine as well...bring your quarters! :) The parking lot isn't that big, so if you can carpool with friends. Whatever you do...get here! support this great brewery and great people. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet the Pug of Honor :) He's adorable.

    Gracious host. No flights during Covid but owner was happy to give us tastings of all his beers. At 1 year old these guys know how to make great beer. Surprised only 9 reviews. The Fudgeline Miami stout was fantastic smooth and and solid chocolate undertones ThaiPA a tangerine IPA was our favorite. Look for great things from this small batch fledgling brewery

    Big space, good beer, pin ball, and a cute logo

    I love this place. If you get a tasting, you get all their beers in tap in a color coded tray. They staff are also super nice.

    Not on Yelp yet? The newest brewery in town also happens to have the best beer. Run don't walk, it's a phenomenal operation.

    Their beer was excellent, I highly recommend the THAIPA, which manages to blend ginger seamlessly into a citrusy IPA.

    Despite having visited Flight Deck during their first year in operation in 2017 I never have wrote…read morea review. They have come a long way and look different in 2025 while still having a good amount of charm and uniqueness it had back then. As you could imagine by the name and the fact they opened in a former Naval Air Station they go heavy on the plane theme. Beer names especially and they offer a good variety of beer styles and have non-beer options for those not interested as well. I have enjoyed every visit including my many visits over the years here. The best time to visit is during the summer or at least nicer weather to fully enjoy their outside space. Arguably the best addition since their opening has been their food program. Think wood fire pizza and some other non-pizza offerings. My wife and I have had their pizza in the past and very much enjoyed it. This time though my wife got their Italian on Focaccia and I got one of their Chicken Bacon Ceasar sandwiches. Instead of typical bread it used a folded pizza dough and both our dishes tasted phenomenal. If you visit trying their food is a must, do not skip on it! Beer wise today we sampled four beers new to us. I got Wings their NEIPA & Vuelo Nocturno Mexican Lager while my wife got their Plane Beer American Lager and the Krösswind Kölsch. We enjoyed all four of them and we were glad to have found so many on tap we had yet to try! Flight Deck may not be an immediate thought when you think of Maine Breweries but they deserve recognition. Offering a well rounded variety of beers and other drinks along with some great food in a unique inviting space! Add it to your brewery bucket list!

There are so many seating options inside and outside, and the outdoor space is especially great. They have covered areas that keep you comfortable in rainy or cold weather, and there are always fun activities happening outside. The beer is consistently good. We haven't tried one we didn't enjoy. The pizza and sandwiches are also really solid and perfect for grabbing a quick lunch. The service is always fantastic. Every person behind the bar has been friendly and welcoming each time we've visited. One of the things we appreciate most is that they allow dogs inside. Our puppy loved relaxing while we enjoyed our food and drinks, which makes it such an easy spot for dog owners. The location on a former military base adds a really unique atmosphere, and they do a great job leaning into that theme with thoughtful details throughout. Overall, it's a great place with great beer, great people, and an inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend. Cheers!

Service has always been consistently great. Friendly, prompt, detail oriented and caring about our experience. We have never had a bad interaction with any of the staff members. They are hardworking customer focused team. Good with children and elderly folks. The food has been consistently good, temperature, quantity, flavors, textures and presentation. We have tried their burgers, pizza, bowls and appetizers. We really like their brussels sprouts, including our 3 and 6 year old family members. There's a wonderful sweet savory flavor, a nice crisp to the outside and very tender inside. The burgers and fries are very satisfying and flavorful. Most recently I discovered (realized) you can add mac and cheese to a burger. It was yummm!!! The wings, are plentiful, crispy and juicy. Be careful, because the internal temperature is VERY HOT when they first arrive. The past few times we have been the restaurant was very comfortable, not too cold or too hot. They have the ability to accommodate the 6 of us with ease on the times we have gone. This is definitely one of the core options when we are in town. Great for our whole family.

    Pizza was great, but we waited for thirty minutes past the pick up time. I'm assuming they forgot…read moreabout our order, but didn't acknowledge the mistake. Not ideal for anyone who has to be somewhere.

I sat at the bar (full service, for those who require that!), and the food, beer, and service were all wonderful. I had the hot chicken sandwich, and if you're looking for something with the remarkable juiciness and crispiness of a Crispy Gai sandwich but a little less heft, this is your sando. The wedge my wife had was also delicious. I had a Cuppa (English mild beer) which was one of the best I've had outside the UK. Our server, Hannah, was friendly and helpful to these two newcomers. The chocolate chip cookie was icing on the cake. We will be back.

Ordering is at the counter (in theory, nobody was there when we went) or by scanning a QR code at the table. Once the order is placed and paid for (tipping is optional, but Kitchen Staff Appreciation of 3% is automatically added to your bill) it's brought to the table. Staff is friendly. The cheeseburger (cheese smash burger) was tasty, No fries, onion rings, cheese sticks are available, but they do have potato chips, etc. For the price of a cheeseburger, chips and soda (over $20, not including the optional tip) I would have expected more. It's just a single smash burger patty with cheese, in a "Pub" without even full table service.
