We had a nice time having lunch here. Didn't take pictures but we had some beers and our experience was good. Had to wait for a bit for our drinks, since there was only one wait staff but our food was out pretty quick. Would go back and visit if in the area. read more

First time trying this place out and it had a good vibe and plenty of patrons. It has an extended room with darts available. They have a nice selection of craft beer and mixed libations. Simple food is also available but we didn't try it. I tried the hazy IPA which had a grapefruit flavor to it and we also had a mixed vodka drink that was refreshing. Definitely worth a visit to try some local craft beer. read more

Second time here, on our vacation away from Florida. Great brewery. Each beer tastes different than the other. Full bodied taste; you almost don't need a meal with them. Pretzel and cheese was great. The other day we had the tips that tasted amazing. And today we used the bathrooms with my little one. The one bathroom catered to babies with a changing table and diapers of all sizes. Worked well for my princess. The other bathroom..... lol. Gotta love it! read more

Cool brewery in the downtown at the end of a cool footbridge that goes across the water. Decently sized place lots of places to sit. Cool bar games too and decor around the place. Service was slower but we weren't in any kind of rush. Server gave us great recommendations on the menu pulled pork sandwiches and some salty taters. Everything was delicious and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. Would come back but don't be in a rush coming here. read more

Great nachos, enough for 2 with no problem. Waitress was prompt and friendly and check in with us often. Beverage menu has something for everyone. Chill vide, darts, and various other bar games. read more

We travel all the time and NO everyone does not come to Maine to eat the "Lobstah". It's refreshing to see someone put a lot of hard work into a product that is outside the normal in. Space that is dominated by seafood. We have ate here twice in three days and would have ate a third time if it was not closed on Tuesday's. The owner has a passion for slow cooking meat and yes it's funny but until you tried smoking meat, you will never understand. The building is a refurbished IT/Marketing company and has an old school charm. You can smell the smoke walking through the parking lot. The food is a 100 and the drinks match. Come eat land animals while in BBH. read more

I don't want to sound snobby, but this place wouldn't last a month in NJ. Subpar service, food made improperly, drinks not brought on time are just a few of my gripes with this place. Additionally, we found a hair in our nachos. I'd stay far away. read more

This is a MUST STOP for bbq lovers. The brisket sandwich blew my mind. The bark with the maple whiskey sauce was divine. The strawberry rhubarb beer was a nice addition. Would absolutely recommend (pls forgive the picture-- I had already started demolishing it) read more

Footbridge Brewery - Brisket sandwich - Breweries Near Me - Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Located downtown along your stroll to the harbor footbridge you'll find this little gem with super friendly staff serving elevated pub food and brews. I had the pulled pork sandwich which i was pleasantly surprised to be their own amazing take on my all time favorite "the Cuban ". The flat bread pizza was on point and a MUST try side is the "salt taters". Seems like a simple side, but there's some sort of magic that happens in the kitchen and oven with brine? and butter and????/...magic like I said. read more

You can find Footbridge Brewery & Bridgehouse BBQ right on the water in Boothbay - 25 Granary Way, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538. There's some parking right by the brewery but I was there during off-season - probably will need to park along the streets above and walk down. Interesting little brewpub that also serves barbecue (first BBQ I've tried in Maine so had no expectations). The interior is a bit low as the place is in a basement with rooms that extend towards the other side of the building. There's also seating outside that extends down towards the water. There's a bar along the leading wall and the place was fairly busy - tables extend into other rooms with a bathroom at the very back (still had the original 30's era tile). For beer I loaded up a flight of 4 from the menu: * Why So Blue Blonde Ale 4.9% ABV - 3.5/5 Fairly tasty crushable sour with blueberry notes, slightly floral finish. Well balanced and fairly clean. * Rattlin' Bog Fruited Gose 5% ABV - 4/5 Nice cranberry sour with a touch of salt in the otherwise clean finish. * Struberry Rarbarb Farmhouse Ale 6.5% - 4/5 Light wheaty farmhouse with fruity strawberry nose, fairly easy drinking, crisp finish. * Raw Nordic Raw IPA 6.5% ABV - 3.5/5 They listed this as a "Nordic Raw IPA" - earthy, bready body with a bitter finish, a bit odd and very dry. For dinner I had the Brisket Tray - 1/3rd pound of beef brisket with two sides - I choose the Gumbo-style Greens and Cole Slaw. Tray also came with a slice of cornbread. I thought the BBQ good with a fair amount of rind but I'm used to it being sliced a bit thicker so it seemed dry to me. I ordered two sauces - one was a mustardy sauce but it definitely wasn't Carolina style - more a loosened up yellow mustard. The other was a Maple and Bourbon sauce which was sweet and a bit odd - honestly I didn't much care for either (they also charged for the extra sauce). I'm not sure if these are sauces that are common the Maine? I did like the slaw and greens so they made up for things a bit. Service was excellent - you order at the bar and they deliver to your table. read more

We stopped in on a very rainy afternoon after a boat trip for lunch. Plenty of room, but the place filled up quickly. This is a very casual spot where you place your order for food and drink at the counter, and then it is delivered to you when ready. There are a variety of seating options from long community tables to cozy couches, etc... We enjoyed a flight of beer, some very interesting, some not quite to our liking, but overall very good. Prices felt reasonable for the offering and pours. With regard to food, I can never resist a pretzel on the menu and these were hot and good, but not great. The same can be said for the BBQ sampler plate we ordered, again the bbq was good, but we've had better. I found all the BBQ meats had a seasoning on them (perhaps the dry rub) that I didn't really love. Again, nothing bad here at all, but I can't say I loved any of the food served to me. Service was friendly and pretty efficient. We would stop by here again, perhaps for a drink and a pretzel. read more

Footbridge Brewery - Pretzel - Breweries Near Me - Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Service was pretty good! We had to flag down our server to get the check (while baking in the sun), but otherwise she was attentive. Beer list is OK-lots of choices were out when we visited. We did not eat food, just popped by hoping for some cold beers on a warm summer day. The outdoor seating is limited but there is a good deal inside. read more

Really, really good beer! Delicious bbq and very friendly owners and staff. If you like beer, you'll love this place!

Great location in the heart of Boothbay harbor. Interesting range of beers. Real dartboards for your steel-tipped darts. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of boardgames, if that's your thing. Barbecue offerings are really tasty and pretty good value. Recommended! read more

Cool little brewery with friendly staff. We stopped in on a rainy Tuesday evening and had a few beers. The beer was pretty good, nothing amazing but one of the bartenders knew our small town in NJ and made us feel at home. I didn't love anything I had, but it's a cool little spot right off the water with an intimate vibe. Can't wait to pop back in next time I'm in town. read more

Great beer! Great food! Long wait, but it was also opening day for the 2024 season. Games for kids and very friendly staff. The atmosphere is nice, felt very comfortable hanging with my two kids under 6 and they were crazy for the mac and cheese. We'll definitely be back. read more

My husband and I got to Footbridge everytime we go to Boothbay Harbor. The Beer and Food taste awesome and the service was friendly! Evertything was perfect as it always is when we go! If you like brewerys make sure you stop in. You wont be disappointed! read more

What a wonderful pairing this is, combined with a view of the water! You have indoor and outdoor seating available, and a variety of seats inside, including at the bar. There's a nice variety of beers, plus backstory on them and the brewery. The bbq only makes it better. You can order both at the counter, pick up your beer at the other end, and your meal will be delivered to you. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was messy good (my top compliment), with more than enough meat inside plus pickles and a sauce that enhanced the flavor. The cole slaw was pretty good too, but I regret not ordering the gumbo greens, which were amazing. Those will definitely be my side of choice during future visits, and I have to hope I can learn to make them as well at home as theirs. There's lots of dining options in Boothbay Harbor. With the exception of seafood dinners, I don't need to go anywhere else for lunches or dinners. read more

Went here to sit on the water watch the tide go in or out and drink some beer. Lovely ambiance and great service and great beer.

Nice, spacious spot. Came in to kill some time mid afternoon, and they had lots of seating. It was kind of quiet but staff is friendly. They had a good selection of beers too - the different one was the spicy one - but it was cool to see that option. read more

Great beers, get a flight to start! Off the charts BBQ! Brisket and pulled pork are fabulous. Burnt ends are worth the extra$! Baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad are the best sides. Don't question, just go! read more

I stopped by here this past Sunday with my wife for some afternoon drinks. We happened to be in Boothbay and I was ecstatic whenever I checked Yelp and found out that there was a new brewery in town. So we headed on over to Footbridge Brewery. The inside of this place is warm and welcoming with lots of natural light, concrete floors and red brick walls. The first room that you walk into has the bar, brewing equipment, board games, a lounge type area and other seating as well. Then behind that there was a room which had the Pats game on. We tried to play Yahtzee which was sitting around but were disappointed whenever there wasn't any scoring paper and only 4 dice. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a fight here. At Footbridge Brewery you get to choose 4 beers and so I went with the Salty Dogs (Gose), Fisherman's Thumb (NEIPA), Reds Rye (Rye Ale) and Super Hoppy Monster (DIPA). The first beer that I tried was the Salty Dogs which started off tasting a bit sour before having the dryness really kick in at the finish. Second was the Fishermans Thumb which had that piney New England flavor before a nice amount of hops at the finish. Third was the Reds Rye which started off smooth and had a nice caramelly finish. I don't know that I got any Rye at all but I still enjoyed it. Last but certainly not least was the Super Hoppy Monster which a smooth DIPA with hops from start to finish but not too bitter or harsh. Out of the bunch my favorites were the Reds Rye and the Fisherman's Thumb. The bottom line for me is that I would stop back here again in the future. All of the beers that I tried here were good and it seems like it would be a fun place to hang out. read more

Love this place definitely a great little brewery to hit when you're in town!! They started selling BBQ, it's ok I'm not a fan of Carolina style BBQ but then I'm a born and bred Kansas City BBQ fan so I'm pretty picky!! read more

Sadly had the burnt ends. On a weekend of just meh food in Boothbay harbor, it ended with meh burnt ends. I've been lucky I guess to have good BBQ and ok BBQ. This was almost in the OK section. Not burnt. Not crispy. Not fatty and soft the way you expect from proper burnt ends. They were the ends for sure, and somewhat burnt I believe because of the sauce used. But I would not spend 16$ for appetizer again. Lucky I didn't get the plate. Sorry, looks like a place I want to like, just don't. read more

Great food, service was not awesome. Never saw waiter after he took our order. Lobster and crab BLT was fantastic.

Very comfortable setting with decent craft beers brewed by them. Great service and I even had a decent hot dog here! There's a broad selection of beer so everyone should find something to enjoy. I'm a bit of an IPA snob and I found their IPA to be pretty good. It's very clean and surprisingly large inside with limited outdoor seating as well. The real estate has to be wicked expensive here so I hope they will be busy during the pandemic and especially during the winter. If you're in Boothbay Harbor you'll find them right by the town side of the footbridge behind Shannon's. Be sure to check them out! read more

Very cool atmospheres inside and out. Inside staff was not impressive and after waiting too long to be even acknowledged at an almost empty bar went to the outside kiosk and had a great encounter with Devin getting cold beers and info on all the options and styles. He was a great personality, came to our table a lot and checked up and entertained. Great end to a bad start. read more
