There's not a lot of on-site parking, but plenty of options on the street. The tavern was clean, and there a good outdoor area were the bands performed. There was an outdoor bar, which was pretty convenient service. We had a blast with the all the bands and definitely recommend Munjoy Hill tavern. Go Tiger Bomb!

This is a place you may look at and go, "Nah"...well, you'd be surprised! It's a little bar and…read moregrill, but it's pretty cozy and the food, wait staff, service and atmosphere is pretty chill and very good. Everyone there were very polite and not a hugh menu, but sometimes that's pretty cool too...choosing from a booklet of food compared to a 1 page menu can be refreshing and makes choosing something way easier. We received our food on a timely manner after ordering, even as busy as it was. Now, it is a bar, so it can get loud, but not a bother to us. We love hearing people have a good time. Life is just too short and it's great to hear people fill a room with conversations and laughter. Our food was at a very good price for the portions and very, very tasty!! Loved the onion rings with honey mustard sauce - YUM! Now we're not drinkers, so we can't say anything about the bar, but I can say, there was never an empty seat! So if you're ever on Congrees Street in Portland, Maine, stop by and check this place out.

There's been something missing in my heart since Rivalries-Portland closed down. That hole is still…read moreempty, but Fore Play is a welcome substitute now. Given the other options in town-I think this is THE place to be for Sunday football games. So many TVs upstairs and downstairs, and they have access to every game you could need. I think I liked sitting at the upstairs bar the most, but there was also some couch seating upstairs that seemed cozy. I was here for the Bills-Dolphins game and had the best time. It was my first time coming in, and I was a little intimidated walking in alone. Everyone was kind, and I enjoyed the selection of beers (and they have jello shots!) They do NOT have food here. But you are welcome to buy your own food and bring it in. Dedicated sports fans seem to bring in an assortment of finger foods on the weekends (meatballs, chips, etc).

Acknowledge as people walk in would be the first improvement. We sat for 15 minutes and were never…read moreacknowledged. We finally walked out and found another pub that was actually busy and welcoming. I would rather spend my money at a place that actually wants customers. Also, it's a sports bar all they had on was news.

I love bright colors, so the outdoor decor with the rainbow of colored tables stood out to me, as did the flags, stickers, and signs in the cozy bar area.

I'm hanging on to the hope that my 4 stars will not have to be updated as the scales of bar justice can only tip downward hence forth. Perhaps I have a false sense of self - but I'm a freakin great customer - I spend hundreds of dollars a month on eating, drinking and making Merry at the midcoast Maine bars - y'all business owners better take notice of me and respect the badge, my writing power and my posse - cause I'll turn you out if I must. And when beady eyes behind the bar set upon me, they're not saying"welcome back valued customer" they're saying "it's him again" the concentric circles, the common center must not be broken with new faces and new money - Be the region between the two concentric circles - I think it's called annulus, be that, not an assulus. The folks at the bar are quite the opposite, they're friendly and engaging- one guy was dancing to live music, caulking around the AC while drinking drafts and discussing Him Morrison with me as I sat alone in a dark corner. This is what Irish bars are - just gotta inform the barmaid- only one, the other is quite nice - and the big guy - I'm betting a shit of Jamison that he's the owner- always running around the back, cooking up great meals - try his Steak and Cheese, the twelve inch pizza which beady eye called "fourteen" - duh - is $9.00 and big guys got a heavy topping hand, smothering that pie with the pepperoni that does that high heat trigger shaped twist - like a tulip pedal holding the little droplets of oil inside.

I went on a Monday evening, about 7:00, because there were so few restaurants open. What a…read moredisappointment! We wanted dinner. The bartender said we could order food even though it was really slow and the band had stopped playing. We ordered cheese steaks sandwiches. We asked what came with the sandwiches and we were told tater tots. It took almost 40 minutes to get our food. We had to wait about 5 minutes for the ketchup and there were no tater tots. We got a bag of chips and were told they were out of the tater tots and French fries. No respectable Irish bar would not be able to serve fries or some form of potato with a meal. The bar had about 10 people in the bar and they were all pretty drunk. It is not a fun pub but a place with some sad drunks.
