Reviewed the menu and decided this is where I wanted to come after a long day hiking in the park and starving after skipping lunch. This spot is cozy and quaint and full of friendly local staff members. It was Kentucky Derby day and a lot of folks we were watching it as we walked in, ambiance was jovial and loud. Greeted immediately by the hostess and bartender and waited a short while for a table to open up. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the Reuben. He is Jewish and loves Reubens, gets them all the time. He said this one was really, really good. Great texture to the meat. Now, my Chicken Sandwich - was the best I've ever had in my life. I told my husband, I will be holding any and all future chicken sandwiches up to this one as the benchmark. The breaded chicken breast was huge and delicious quality white meat. It was dipped in buffalo sauce, and had fresh slaw, pickles, tomato and blue cheese sauce. It was DECADENT and it really hit the spot for me after a long day. I could not stop eating it. YUMMMM. Oh, we also ordered the pub fries - loaded with aioli and cheese and greens. Fries were delish but a bit too much aioli for our taste. Still, wonderful! Huge portion. Overall, food was yummy, out quickly, service was great and we loved the vibes. Easily a fav for us on this trip and we'll be looking forward to coming back again some day! read more

The food is outstanding, the service was great the atmosphere is fun. A VERY Irish pub. Great varied menu. Our waiter was outstanding and very pleasant. He pointed out "all the sauces are in house made."and the tartar sauce is the best I have tasted. He also, when taking our order, pointed out Ladies first, which I impressed with, not many restaurants make a point of that anymore. 5 stars, highly recommend read more

Unexpectedly the best lobster roll I had the entire time I was in Maine (and I had 3, all from different places)! read more

Leary's Landing Irish Pub - Lobster Roll - Irish Pub Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Right in the middle of Bar Harbor's hustle and buzzle, we grabbed the last outdoor table at Leary's Landing Irish Pub -- perfect for people-watching and winding down after a day of exploring. The service wasn't exactly warm or helpful, but since we already knew what we wanted, it wasn't a dealbreaker. I ordered an Old Fashioned with chocolate bitters -- an unexpectedly delicious twist on the classic. My Shepherd's Pie was hearty and flavorful, especially paired with Leary's salad for a lighter balance. Meanwhile, my husband continued his personal mission to try lobster bisque at every restaurant in Maine -- and Leary's version earned solid marks as a runner-up on his bisque leaderboard. Rich, creamy, and satisfying, just shy of the gold medal. To keep it Irish, I finished with a Black & Tan -- a bit darker than my preferred Newcastle-and-Guinness blend, but still a fine way to toast the evening. Bottom line: Leary's Landing is a solid pub for hearty comfort food, good drinks, and prime people-watching. Service could use a smile or two, but the vibe -- and that bisque -- make it worth the stop. read more

Good food. Great service. Loved the look of the place, darkish and broody, bare brick walls. Packed in tight! Two of us are over 6' tall and in the neighborhood of 280 lbs. Seating was doable, but tight. However, this was a common theme for us in Bar Harbor. After too much seafood, it was nice to have some...earthier...options tonight. read more

Food was great. Service was great. I sat on countertop height seating inside overlooking the Village Green square. Great views of the center of town. The restaurant has outdoor seatings as well as plenty of indoor seating. I ordered some shrimp tacos as a snack which was refreshing with a great dressing and some apple slices. Iced tea was also good. My friend got an old fashion and said it was good. Hopefully I get to try their sister restaurant, Social Kitchen and Bar next time. read more

If you are looking for somewhere to grab dinner in the offseason and not real picky then this place will do fine. The food here is ok but expect to be paying Bar Harbor prices all the same. The pub does have the advantage that it does not close seasonally! read more

As we finished our day of Acadia National Park touring, we headed back into crowded and touristy downtown Bar Harbor to find a place for a simple dinner. We settled on Leary's Landing, based on Yelp reviews. As we entered the restaurant we were greeted by a host who was unfortunately lacking in the key skills of a host - to greet, welcome, and serve the customer. This guy was all about getting you out of the way and into a table as quickly as possible. He pointed us to a table right by the host stand and said "I can seat you here." I asked if they had anything not so close to the busy and crowded entrance. He said it would be 15 minutes at best before anything opened up. We decided to accept the table and within two minutes two tables further interior opened up. We asked him to seat us at one of those and he did politely agree. We ordered a local IPA draft and another ale and our server was quick to attend to us. We both ordered the Fish & Chips and I added a Seafood Chowder. The chowder was excellent. Creamy, seasoned well, and beautifully presented in a wide, low soup bowl, topped with bacon bits and chopped scallions. The fish was beer battered in a Smithwicks Ale and too heavy on the batter for my liking. I prefer a more tempura type of batter on fish and chips. So I'd rate these as a three-star. However, the hand-cut fries were five-star! Expertly done, which is saying something as so many places can't get hand-cut fries correct. Leary's fries are worth a trip. Overall, it's a three-star rating. I'd call Leary's average for tourist fare in a crowded tourist town. If they upped their game on service, customer care, and simple Maine friendly, they'd score a four-star in my book. read more

After a day spent road tripping from Portland to Bar Harbor to see Acadia National Park, we ended up in downtown BH and were pretty hungry after a day of adventuring, We fell for the vibe of this cool pub when we looked through the door and down the staircase into cool people territory. The menu had lots of hearty options as well as salad selections and craft cocktails. We put our names on the waiting list and found it very pleasant to peruse the nearby shops while we waited. Our server was great and we each enjoyed a couple of funky cocktails. Having not had lobster yet on our trip (we would have been absolutely roasted back home for NOT getting lobster at least once on our girl weekend), we learned that lobster is an add-on protein option. My friend with celiac was accommodated and we all had a smashing meal. The buzz of the pub crowd and the autumn tizzy of wearing jackets in September and being in such a beautiful state really just ended our day perfectly. The 3+ hour drive back to Portland was killer though, so I will be staying IN Bar Harbor when I take my kids back to complete our continental US road trip tour. We had a great meal here and are happy to have chosen this awesome pub as our dinner stop for the evening! read more

After a morning riding bikes on the Acadia Park carriage roads in the rain - we were grateful to have a nice indoor spot for lunch. We were quickly able to get a table for 6, but we were there in a weekday at 11:30. When we were leaving - there wasn't very many empty seats so we were thankful we came early. We enjoyed our meals and my kids enjoyed their beers. read more

Food 4.5/5, Service 1/5 Popped in on a Sunday night for a quick dinner after a long day of driving and exploring Acadia. Food was very good, enjoyed my burger and GF got the house salad which she said really hit the spot. Place was not terribly busy by the time we sat, we decided to pass on drinks and guessing our server decided to punt on putting in any effort after that. Got our food and never saw her again, never got a refill on water after being seated and took another 10+ minutes to get our check after finishing food. read more

Took a break from lobster and since I always enjoy an Irish pub we landed here. It does have the look and feel of an authentic place. The Reuben and the fish and chips were good. The Guinness was expertly poured. Not a bad diversion from the abundant lobster fare. read more

Was ok. Good Rueben and fries. Little dark. But it's also a bar. Was vacation time. Service was ok. Nothing special

Best bloody marry you'll ever have. Food is very good as well. Friendly staff, a cool little spot.

Quaint Irish bar right off the street, and I loved the feel of it the instant I walked down the steps. All the food looked amazing as it quickly walked by our table. I sampled the crab roll, and flank steak and ate the fish tacos. All tasted good, all four of us were happy with our dinner and drink choices. read more

I have been trying to eat here for years since we first visited BH and today was the day. We were seated outside near the park entrance with sunshine and a light breeze to enhance our lunch. Chris was quick and efficient with kind words and a smile. Ordering salads with grilled fish and cocktails, we just relaxed and took in the sites from our table. It was simply amazing to slow down and enjoy life and lunch with my favorite person. Recommend Leary's 1000%! read more

This place had great potential but we left somewhat disappointed. We walked in and were warmly welcomed. The hostess told us there was an hour wait, unless we sat at the small bar-like seating at the front window. This wasn't a huge deal, however the window up top was open when it was 45° and they said they couldn't close it due to the kitchen in the back of the restaurant. We also had to get up multiple times throughout our dinner to close the door as we were right next to it and it didn't close on its own. Almost as soon as we had sat down, another group of 2 sat down at a table with no reservation. I got the blueberry mojito which was good, but nothing extraordinary. We got two burgers, which were pretty good, but mine came with the blueberry BBQ sauce and the blueberry wasn't supper noticeable, but still good. I upgraded my meal +$4 for fries instead of chips and the fries tasted stale. This was disappointing considering they were an up charge for $4. It was almost like they made the fries early in the day and just stuck them under a heater, they were very hard. read more

With the New England flare for Irish pubs Leary's hits the spot for Bar Harbor! Food is always great and worth coming back to different items on the menu. Service is also great!

This place is super cute. It's a perfectly typical Irish pub atmosphere. The inside and restrooms were clean and well decorated. The food was about a 3 1/2 star. My husband got fish and chips ($22). He said the fish was good but the fries were soggy, barely warm, and didn't taste fresh. I had the chicken sandwich with fries ($17) and my fries were the same, lukewarm and fairly soggy. I wish they tasted as good as they looked! The chicken sandwich was good. A nice, meaty piece of chicken with a crispy breading, covered in buffalo sauce, blue cheese and cabbage. The beer selection was good, though there were a ton of IPA options (which neither of us like). I ended up with a cider ($7) and my partner a Guinness ($8). I might go back in the future, but I wouldn't specifically seek it out the next time we are in bar harbor. read more

Fish and chips wasn't great to say the least. Staff friendly, typical Irish bar setting.

We visited for the first time this past weekend and it definitely met my expectations for an Irish bar. The service was good and the decor was giving me New England Irish cozy vibes. There's also a fireplace inside which is a nice touch and adds to the feelings of comfort that this bar evokes. Their bar food is typical Irish pub fare, no nonsense, straightforward bar food with a kids menu(for those traveling with youngins). If you're looking for a bar that reminds you of your local Irish pub in your town; this is the place for you. read more
