Awesome place to grab a drink anytime do the day and a snack. Super cool vibes and great staff. Very welcoming and friendly. All employees were attentive and helpful. Menu has tons to offer. There's coffee drinks, alcoholic beverages, various snacks and food, etc. Lots of talent and thought has gone into what they offer. We order a Bitchin Michelada and a spicy bloody! Both amazing!! Well done. For sure stop in this gem of a place regardless of the time of day as they have lots to offer. read more

I gave Cuties a chance during its opening weekend and thought it wasn't for me. It was too crowded, obnoxiously loud, and I just felt like I didn't fit in. Fast-forward to now: I was walking around with a friend and we felt like having a drink, and Cuties was right nearby. I decided to give it another shot, and I'm glad I did because my experience was incredibly better. First of all, the place felt a lot more welcoming and less overwhelming. I finally had a chance to look at all the decor and details, and my eyes were FEASTING on the colorful touches and funky vibes. Our server was very nice, and even though we only ordered one drink and definitely stayed there for a good amount of time, he wasn't pushy in any way. My cocktail, the Wink n Nod, was soooo good. It had vodka, gin, manzanilla, olives, and pickled Fresno brine. The result was a yummy concoction with a punch, one that I could savor and not slurp in ten seconds. That said, I gotta say I was surprised by how busy the place was given how early we went. It wasn't even 4pm. I don't think I would come back in the summer or during peak hours because I could definitely see them getting busy, just like during their opening weekend, and having an entirely different experience. Note: Although I didn't try any, I was happily impressed by the food options and non-alcoholic options. A true all-day bar! read more

Stylish all-day eatery/drinkery with high tops along the bar and oppposite along the windows, plus lower, cozier seating in funky furniture further back. Bright, hip decor will put you in a good mood. Only a few beers available, with wider selection in the craft cocktail realm. -- All-Day Burger: This is basically an elevated Big Mac, minus the middle bun layer: twin smashed patties, burger sauce, shredded lettuce, American cheese, pickles, and onions, on a densely-sesame-seeded Big Marty bun. The smashing gets the patties extra thin, so there's crusting, flavor from the griddle (plus good seasoning), and not so much volume that it'll stuff you. A well balanced creation that keeps the flavor coming. -- Crispy Potatoes: Deep-fried mini potatoes, some whole, some cracked, some cut, all with crispness and seasoning. A no-brainer add-on for $4. I think there are better burgers to be had nearby, and with better beer selection, but what I had was solid and the vibe of this place was certainly enjoyable enough to come back every now and then. Nice lunch; friendly staff. read more

Cuties is the BOMB! Discovered it by accident while staying a few blocks away at the Portland Regency Hotel. In addition to the vintage mid century mod furniture and ambiance, it's a great place to catch an afternoon cocktail. Our server recommended a Tanqueray 10 martini with a twist of lemon. Delish! Same goes for all the bar food. It's cozy and drinks were great! read more

Cuties is my new favorite breakfast/brunch spot in town. The McGriddle was just the right amount of junky to be delicious, nothing fancy, just good grub. And the chai was spectacular and BIG. The decor is so fun and funky, and made the place feel like a bright spot on a cold and snowy day. Staff is friendly and let us just chill and read our books while we digested, and the playlist is groovy as hell. Love cuties! read more

Cuties - All day spritz. Pea & T. Cosmo - Bars Near Me - Portland, Maine

This is the trendiest new craft cocktail spot in Portland. I think the tourists and the Influencer crowd will love it; as a local... I'm not rushing to come back here soon. I got to check it out, it was cool, but it wasn't so revolutionary or so special that I absolutely NEED to bring everyone I know here. At least not now. I'd be interested in revisiting in winter when they've been open for a while and it's quieter in the city. Love the space; the decor is very modern and the vibe is very welcoming. There are lots of interesting seating options: stool seating all along the floor to ceiling windows for people watching, some stool seating at the bar, some couch seating in the corners of the room, some workspace-style stand-up seating for you to WFH from, and more. It feels set-up so you're almost forced to interact with the people around you; not necessarily a bad thing, but when it's busy, expect to make friends. Two drinks, two snacks, after tax and tip it was close to $75. We got the All Day Spritz (aperol, strawberry, cucumber, "double friggin' bubbles") and the Our Best Bloody (vodka or tequila, the usual suspects). Loved the excess of cucumber slices in my spritz (that felt cheeky), but the drink itself was mostly ice. My friend's bloody was VERY strong, I don't think she even finished it. She liked her Tuna Tostada; the Butterbean Dip (which is vegan! A pot of creamed butterbeans and a side of homemade [?] saltines) was good, but the toppings (the castelvetrano olive and fresno peppers) did all the heavy lifting. The dishes were taken away from us before we were finished them without being asked if we were done; that felt a little weird to me (and, no, they weren't busy when we came). The bartender was the highlight of the experience. So friendly, so engaging, so quick-witted, so real. They double-checked ingredients for us; they made suggestions and told us why those were their suggestions. Cheers to the staff! read more

Delightful and even cuter than you'd expect! I loved the bright colors of the interior, the bartenders I was served by, and the menu! Mimosas with pet nat & fresh squeezed orange were simple, but so good. Loved the food offerings and it was the perfect starting point for my birthday celebration. I wish there was a Cuties at home, but I'll visit on my next vacation! read more

Cuties - Bars Near Me - Portland, Maine

Such a cute spot. The name totally fits the vibe. It was recommended that we visit cuties by a few people, so we decided to stroll over for a mid-day cocktail. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender on recommendations and each of them were very personable and accommodating. We ended up with an expresso martini, which is not vodka based and another drink with prosecco. Both were tasty but honestly I'd come back just for the vibe. Very chilled and easy. Thanks cut read more

Sister bar to room for improvement. Same formula, drinks and a bit of bar food. Service fast and on point Better come at 5 pm sharp because I came at 5.30 pm and the place jam packet (ex petite Jacqueline place). I ordered boat doctor and danger margarita. The boat doctor's ginger slightly a bit over, can't taste some of the ingredient. But ginger is always like that, a little come a long way. Good place to hang out with friends with good drinks. read more

Already the new "It" bar in Portland just days after opening, Cuties lives up to the hype. It's quite literally the light to sister bar's Room For Improvement's darkness. The space is mostly bar (with 16 seats), and nearly as many counter stools, providing possibly the best people watching in the city through the floor to ceiling windows. Vintage, bright yellow furniture for larger parties encompasses the rear of the bar. The full house (half hour after opening) was all ages, but heavily leans towards the trendy crowd. Sigh, it stinks getting old! The cocktails are all creative spins on classics, similar to Room for Improvement, but lean sweeter. I slightly prefer the drinks at Room and hope they add some less sweet options in the "Boozy" section of the menu, but these are some of the best downtown. The espresso martini ($15, or $7 mini) might be better than the famous rendition at Room, and the mini frozen margarita ($5) is a must-order. Those fish-shaped creations you're seeing all over Instagram? It's the Oaxaca-Yaki ($10), basically slightly spicy mozzarella sticks, and it's fantastic. The Coconut Shrimp Toast ($12) might somehow be better, even if you don't love shrimp. Only the Popcorn Shrimp ($12) was too salty and I wouldn't order again. Cuties is going to be a massive hit in the Old Port, especially when they're open all day. It's a much brighter, airy, and (I think) better atmosphere than Room For Improvement, which is really saying something. I can't wait to return. read more

Came in on a Thursday night around 7 and it was packed--but we were able to get the two couch seats for our group of five. I got the Red Wine Supernova, it was sweet, smooth, and perfect. Service was fast and friendly, and our drinks and apps came out quick. Everyone loved what they ordered. If you like spice, the Cajun shrimp is a must! Personally for me the place was a little loud and hard to hear when chatting. Overall will return! read more

Came here for an after dinner drink with a friend. It was a great spacious space. My friend talks about this place alot so when we saw that it was open he said we had to go. This place also has coffee so its not just a bar but its open from morning to night. I was not particularly blown away by the drink menu so I opted to try a NA beer. It was good but I was full from dinner. I would try and see what their coffee is like though next time I am in town. read more

Cuties is one of my main rotation bars in Portland maine for evening hangs and drinks, one of my favorite ambiance bars to attend! Was very excited once they opened doors for full food services (breakfast, lunch, & dinner bites) once I heard they added a burger to there I had to check it out! The food was what I expected very delicious and stand out different, the burger was surprisingly delicate for being a double smash burger and the shrimp roll was very fresh, nice size shrimp and served on a perfect roll to compliment the experience! I love when places don't try to reinvent the food world by keeping it traditional while hitting the correct flavors to compliment the food itself. Highly recommend checking out Cuties for breakfast lunch or light dinner bites, great bar experience! read more

We loved Cuties so much we went three times in one weekend--twice in one day! The service is so so friendly, and the vibe was cozy comfortable. The breakfast sandwiches were awesome, but I think a favorite of ours was the Malted Maple Cold Brew and the Wink N Nod martini. Although our weekend is over, I'm already looking forward to going back! read more

True to the name, Cuties is a super fun spot to grab a drink and some snacks! We stopped in for a couple of apps before a ferry cruise. I ordered the red wine supernova which was very fruity and delicious! My friend tried the caddy frozen marg which was also so good. We split the shrimp cocktail and the oaxaca yaki. The shrimp were fresh and large, and the oaxaca yaki was really yummy! Basically mozzarella stuffed in a sweet, almost pancake like batter served as a cute lil fish. Our bartender was attentive and helpful! They also have great windows for people watching in Old Port. read more

Cool new bar with a trendy vibe! I love the large windows with the couches underneath. You can people watch. Large bar. We stopped in a Thursday and it was quite busy. We got a seat at the bar, the drinks were good. We didn't have any food, but it's a small menu. It is really loud in there so hard to hear when you are talking to people. Other than that great new bar. read more

Today I stopped by Cuties for the first time being new to the Portland area and I ordered the Tuna melt. It was the best Tuna melt I have ever eaten. (They have an enhanced version which I will try next time.) Very good service, Nick, I am guessing the owner or manager, clearly cares. All the staff are greeting guests giving a local lunch and breakfast feel. I most definitely be back. I actually think the space is unique and kind of cool. It doesn't feel like a restaurant which you would think would work against it but it doesn't somehow. I highly recommend this place and am looking forward to becoming a regular! read more

What a fun place! The vibe, decor, drinks, staff were all excellent! Probably the best cocktail bar in Portland we've visited so far. I got the Higgins Extra Fancy (amazing) and the Spainkiller (mind blowing) and my wife got the Pornstar Martinez (which she thoroughly enjoyed) and the Salad Bar Martini (which she didn't enjoy and didn't finish, as it pretty much literally did taste like a salad bar). Wish we didn't live so far away or we'd be back here all the time! read more

Cuties - All day spritz - Bars Near Me - Portland, Maine

An all-day bar complete with a stellar, colorful, funky ambience, friendly staff, and a small yet mighty menu full of twists on classic dishes, and inventive cocktails. We ordered (and loved): The Bloody Mary (strong, spicy, with vodka, olive and lime wedge included) The Tuna Tostada (ahi tuna slices, black lime mayo, pistachio, tortilla and salsa (?)) - SO. GOOD. Butterbean Dip (vegan: olives, fresno peppers, sherry vin, herbs, served with buttery crackers). My least favorite of our dishes, but still delish. A great add to Old Port and Market Street! read more

Solid vibe, solid drink, solid staff. What more do you want with a bar? The vibe set at Cuties is truly phenomenally done. Everything from the decor to the table layouts which promote sticking with your group while also being engaged with others around (should you so choose) was a blast. The staff recommended some of their favorite drinks to us and they did not disappoint! The drinks, to me, are exactly what you want. Memorable, decently priced, and something you CANT make at home. read more

I was excited to try this new place in Portland! We did go during the day so that may have influenced the experience. All the cocktails we had for the AM menu weren't good. The bar is very cute inside but was a waste. Maybe the PM would have been better but we were disappointed read more

the decor and vibes are downright amazing. The lighting, furniture, music, and layout is so comfy and makes me feel safe. First time I went there I was alone, which was kinda weird due to this being a hangout space. It's mostly groups hanging out and not solo people. Despite that the 5 dollar frozen shots are amazing. I tried a banana something shot and dear god, tasted sooo good. The service was friendly every time I've been here. They genuinely seem to like their job. They also don't hound you for tips, they will smile and thank you even if you didn't. read more

I wanted to like this place, I really did, and you know what, I LOVED it. If you don't like cuties then you probably also don't like fun or puppies or rainbows. The drinks are the best in the city, fun and creative but still super approachable, the food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the vibes are 100% all day long. If you want to avoid the insane downtown tourist traps and have a great experience, you want Cuties! read more

Absolutely love this bar. The space is fun, drinks are delicious, along with the food, and most importantly the staff is so friendly and great at what they do. Every time I have been, even when it's packed, the bartenders and servers are on top of it and really make you feel taken care of.
