I understand that dive bars aren't known for top-tier service, but this experience was beyond…read morefrustrating. Our waitress never once checked on us--we had to flag her down every single time, which made ordering drinks and food a chore rather than a relaxing night out. But honestly, the worst part of the night wasn't even the service. It was the fact that a couple brought their newborn to the bar and stayed from 8 PM to midnight. With loud music blasting, they passed the baby around and parade it around on the dance floor, never feeding the child once, but had no problem changing it on the air hockey table. It was disturbing to watch, and frankly, it made the entire atmosphere uncomfortable. A bar is no place for a newborn, especially late at night in that kind of environment. The only saving grace of the night was the band, Trans Am--they were absolutely phenomenal. They put on a great performance, but unfortunately, the energy in the bar was completely off. Nobody was dancing or really engaging with the music, which was a shame because they deserved a much better crowd. If management allows this kind of thing to happen, I don't see myself coming back. There are plenty of other dive bars that at least provide decent service and an environment where I don't have to question someone's parenting choices all night

The Firehouse grill lives up to its reputation!!…read more The food was all in large portions and delicious. We started strong with mozzarella cheese sticks and the pretzel and cheese appetizer. Fresh and hot defined these apps perfectly! The sticks were warm and stringy, the pretzels were warm, soft, and salty. The cheese dip was actually delicious and tasted nothing like a can mix. For the main courses we had the home made mac and cheese that was topped with pulled pork which was sauced in Sweet Baby Rays and the Loaded Nachos topped with the Firehouse's award winning chili. The food all came out sized for a table of 8 with savory and sweet hints of deliciousness! The waitress was welcoming, outgoing, and offered sound advice on food choices. The cook staff was timely and efficient, and the bar tender was busy busy slinging cups full of the nectar of God (BEER!!)! The Firehouse House ambience lived up to the name with firefighter equipment, first responder memorabilia, and crafty decor. The only downside to this establishment is that is dark and throws a dive bar vibe. 9/10... we will be coming back here for sure (and ordering less food)!!

I would love to know where they get the decor for this place. I'd imagine a lot of flea markets (fabulous ones)? It's hard to pick my favorite decor item because there are so many, but it's somewhere between the chairs shaped like hands and the giant silver octopus tentacle under the T.V. Ooo and the corner with all the clowns! Drinks are strong and cheap. The bartenders are friendly. There's a patio, but it's a bit small. There are plenty of comfy chairs/couches. They have live music pretty often, so if that's your thing, you'll be happy there on weekend nights. The only thing is the space is kind of small for live music, so it can get really loud. This is an excellent chill option if you're in Hallowell and want to skip bars that tend to get a bit fratty like The Quarry Taproom. Highly recommend!

His meathead bouncer was taking a picture of my sister in law's license plate and we got pulled over within two minutes of leaving the parking lot. Beyond this horrible business owner, his establishment was TOTALLY empty on a Friday night. Apparently everyone else got the memo that this place sucks and has taken their business elsewhere. I was visiting from California and it seems the bartender and bouncer had their eye on me for whatever reason from the minute I walked through the door and they scanned my ID. I'm an otherwise non-threatening looking, rather ordinary mid 30's lady. I certainly don't look like a problem. We were totally fun loving and appropriate patrons throughout our stay, right up until we were rudely accosted by these crappy people. Needless to say, we were banned for life. I have to say that I will GLADLY oblige this ban. This place BLOWS!

Also note, Thursday nights blues jam is kinda the best thing you'll ever do in Lewiston on a Thursday night. Thursday! 7/1/11: Grayer days Lewiston, grayer days. Old railroad tracks, working class roots, this old bar, an improv blues night and the audience, plentiful. Scrunchies still adorning the copper highlighted ponytails of overly tanned women in their thirties. Everyone slightly off and no one fashionable except the musicians, clearly high timing in a small town, fedoras just so. Cartoon lobsters with shades on, off brand track pants and the requisite new England lack of eye contact. How long have you been sitting on that barstool, sir - how many years? 7/8/11 This ain't new York city, or LA, no. Mr bluesman you are correct, here in this dark, seedy, working class dive where all that matters is your improvised words, notes, sonic bliss... Sold for free to the tired citizens of a worn out, angelic town, built on industry, dripping with soul. Reverberate off the walls, this old bar, the cathedral across the street. Reverberate the two odd centuries of strife, of worn hands, of working the mills. Lewiston has the blues.

Anyways, this place is your typical dance club with the added perk of having two dance floors. The one downstairs is just strange, as it involves a live band just drumming along loudly to backing music. There were also people playing beer pong and people sitting by the bar. Upstairs is a more traditional club atmosphere, with a large dance floor and a DJ spinning Top 40 music. There's even a projector with classic Mario Kart upstairs. We had a generally good time upstairs for the few hours we were there. The DJ was decent, the music was loud without being deafening, and there was a good crowd. There were a couple of creepers making the night weird, but I guess that's par for the course in Portland. We got a few buckets of whatever their house fruity drink was, and it was good, though pretty light on the alcohol. The bathrooms are tiny (only a few stalls), and the wait was about 10-15 minutes each time we had to go. Not good. And finally, my friend's coat got stolen in the coatroom, so don't bring a coat you can't afford to lose on a cold winter's night. Overall, it was a decent night out minus the stolen coat.
