    Quick service, hot food, affordable prices. $2 beers!!! Happened to be the late night happy hour during our time there, everything we ordered was discounted :) Definitely will be back.

    Unassuming yet an absolute delight! My partner and I ventured cautiously in and found a lovely pub-like setting with great vibes and food! The place was busy and we nestled into a comfy booth. Ordering my standard dirty martini I was very pleased that it was just perfect! From that point on, I knew the night was going to go well. Despite being busy, everyone was attentive and the food was well prepared and excellent. We can't wait to go back!

    Stopped here for a drink the other night. The atmosphere is very nice. With a long bar and lots of tables. The bar tender was quick and friendly. I got a cosmo and it was delicious. We didn't get any food but I would be back to try!

    I really like this spot! These guys (Mike and Kevin) also own Nosh, CBG, and the new Nosh Taco. They know their stuff and are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet! They have a pretty solid menu- the potatoes are always cooked to perfection- and it's a fun, English-y vibe. Lots of windows which is nice, decent sized parking lot, and a stacked bar of many good European beers and liquors. Check it out! Definitely a chill place- sort of an older clientele, but that's to be expected in this part of town. Enjoy!

    Tonight we wanted to try a new place so we went down Brighton Ave to the old 7-11 now a Euro Pub called Continental. We were greeted by a waitress and asked if this booth is ok we said yes. We were asked if we wanted a drink we both had water. We ordered, my wife got boxty, two potato pancakes with sour cream and chives and she ordered fish and chips . I ordered French onion soup and lamb lollies, Everything was so good nothing was left The potato pancakes were great and my wife said the fish and chips were superb. My soup was awesome great flavor and my lamb lollies were cooked to perfection and with great flavor Our waitress was great never told us her name and wasn't on check. I want to just add this little thing, dessert is not an option it's not on the menu but I hear it's sometimes special! The places is very quant and very nice ambiance and we will be back!! Thanks

    Totally surprising new local English pub-like joint. We were waiting too long for this ideal spot to grow from the 7-11 store ashes. And the food was a shocker! Excellent fresh, tasty, fast, friendly...the works. Good beer list despite running out of a couple at 5pm (we were walking to the Seadogs from there). The lamb chops were outstanding, perfectly cooked and savory. The baked cod flakey and delicious. Potato pancakes nice. Fish and chips good even with a bit too much grease. Scotch eggs also perfectly fried, but a little more spices would be better. Service was attentive. While the one room space was a bit boring, we were comfy. So happy they're open!

    The burger is so good that I've started to question my sexuality, and the drinks are the only thing left in this cruel, unfair world that allow me to feel feelings. Simply put, the Continental is without fault and I refuse to hear otherwise.

One of their most popular…read moreDouble IPAs, called Swish had a new special Triple IPA version brewed called Super Swish. This beer release brought my wife and I for our visit today. As an IPA fan I enjoyed this new version very much for its hop saturated citrusy forward taste that drank quite smooth for the 9.5%. At this point now Bissell is broken into two separate parts. The first will be the space welcoming to families and is more of their restaurant style area. Appeared to be a popular area and does offer reservations. My preferred area is the Bissell Garden as they call it. Those entering need to be of drinking age and have more lounge vibes where you order at the bar. It still offers full kitchen menu so is perfect. Particularly my favorite is snagging bar stools to grab some beers and food. I had to try out the Super Swish while my wife grabbed their red ale named Turnpike. Then food wise we split their kitchen special Classic Poutine. Some of the best classic kept simple poutine I have had. The perfect comfort food for yet another cold weather day in Maine. Have been impressed by all the food from Bissell. Truly the only negative still stands being the fact it's on Thompson's Point and required paid parking (not Bissell Brothers call but still). One of the most popular Maine breweries for a reason especially in the IPA game. Give all their other style of beers a try too though, top notch brewery!

My friend and I split a few appetizers - the mezze plate (falafel, hummus, veggies, pita bread), the honey barbecue chicken wings, and fries. The portions were very generous and everything was tasty. Not exceptional but definitely good quality and quantity for what you pay for. My vodka seltzer was also very good - I got the strawberry lemonade flavor and it was light and refreshing. On the side of the restaurant we sat on, you order your food at the bar but it gets brought out to your table. Service was prompt and friendly. All in all a good experience!

Room for Improvement has been around for quite awhile at this point and I have heard nothing but positive about it. My wife and I finally made the time to come here and glad we did. With it being Halloween they have a special theme this week called Doom for Improvement so we thought it was the perfect time to visit! We showed up at opening for a spot to beat Halloween crowd on wharf street. I was reminded of Jager right away in the sense it felt familiar while also feeling new. They decked it out with Halloween decorations and bartenders were dressed up. We had Bojack Horseman serving us who was a top notch bartender, friendly, answered any questions and had good vibes! My wife tried their Pineapple Daiquiri and their Espresso Martini. I went with the Halloween themed drinks and got the Rest In Peeses that was a peanut butter (Reese's) themed Old Fashioned. Secondly I grabbed their Plenty Evil that was inspired by the Good & Plenty candy Absinthe Frappe. My wife's drinks were phenomenal and would both be go to orders for her and we both found a new favorite Espresso Martini. My first drink nailed the perfect mix of peanut butter flavor with a classic Old Fashioned. Secondly despite not being a huge licorice/good & plenty candy this drink was delicious! I look forward to returning for a non Halloween themed visit but we were both extremely impressed. If you are looking for a bar to grab drinks and want a nice and chill vibe this is your spot. Expect friendly bartenders who make high quality drinks!

It's been a long while since I have been here. Way back during pre-pandemic times during a Maine Beer Week. I really enjoyed it and would have likely given 5 stars had I reviewed back then. Maybe that is just me wearing rose colored glasses and thinking more positively than it was though. They have since expanded to have more food offerings than just cake and more drink options than just beer. I do believe it's an improvement to have more options and was a smart business move! This stop in the vibe just didn't feel the same leaning towards a negative way unfortunately. I was excited to give their cocktails a try and my wife got their French 75 while I got their Pickletini because I love pickles so why not! I suspect due to how similar the drinks are, the bartender garnished the wrong drink with the pickles so that was a bit off initially for the French 75. It was a simple fix though. So overall, I still appreciate the decor and ambiance despite the vibe being a little weaker now in my opinion. I would return to give their food a try and do believe it's a solid option for a bar especially if you want to avoid wharf street.

The Aronia berry shiso is also a hit since it has that shiso minty fragrance. The pine and lavender has that musky pine flavor if you're looking for something that tastes a little stronger. But honestly you can't go wrong with any of the choices. Ambience/Decor/Service: walk to the counter and get your pour. I've only been during the late afternoon so there's never been a rush/line. The interior design looks exactly like a brewery but the added plants and high ceilings give it a natural "root wild(erness)" vibe.

If you were unaware Austin Street found their start with their original location in Industrial Way Portland area alongside lots of breweries in the area. I believe my first visit and taste of their beers was around 9 or 8 years ago. Once this location opened up it became the go-to for visiting Austin Street as it's updated and honestly nicer. I enjoyed their first location but let's be real this space is more unique and larger! Been to this spot many a times including earlier today. They still have an industrial feel to the place but have so many plants all around to brighten the spot up. Inside while beautiful I must say the true highlight is during warm weather with their large garage doors open. It also adds tons of additional seating to enjoy the weather too! Staff is always so friendly and ready to pour your drink with a smile. Beer wise they have a large variety including IPAs, pale ales, lagers, and sours. Including a special release each year made for International Women's.For non-beer drinkers don't fret, you can find wine, ciders, seltzers, cocktails, and plenty of non-alcoholic options. They also offer some snacks and frequently have food trucks/carts serving as well. With a lot of events scheduled too, including today that was a Summer Puppy Pool Party so as you can tell they are dog friendly. One of the many amazing breweries in this area of Portland. Well made beers with enough options for everyone to enjoy a drink even non beer fans. A place that supports many good charities/causes and hosts lots of events.
