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.

The bar tender was Devin and she was fantastic! She was going all the things. There seemed to be tons of locals which speaks volumes. The menu is the same as the bowling alley on the first floor. There's something for everyone. We ordered fried pickles which are highly recommended. Then, ordered the bolognese and a burger. Subbed onion rings for the fries and there were tons! Everything was delicious. Burger was fresh and a great portion. Bolognese was also tasty. Impressive flavor and portions for the price! Super reasonable. Great value. Ordered spicy margarita which was great, a lemon martini (get this - amaretto added great flavor), and a Manhattan. Great bar!!! Would go again. Just great vibes, delicious food, great value, and super friendly employees.

**November 2025: Thanksgiving Lunch**…read more Portland, Maine is basically closed on Thanksgiving Day so I'm really glad that I found at least one place that was served food and didn't' require a reservation during the day. My friend and I came around 1pm and it was a pretty hopping place. Unfortunately, there was only one server for the entire restaurant so we did have to wait a while for the menu and for the food itself. What we didn't know was that this bar only serves food one day a year (Thanksgiving) so it seemed like they weren't use to taking food orders. Regardless, we ordered the following to share. -Lobster Roll w/ Chips: This was fine. The lobster did taste fresh; however, just for my personal preference I enjoy my roll with a toasted bun and this was sandwiched between a room temperature. If you prefer your lobster roll cold this would fit the bill -Thanksgiving Pizza: The flavors of Turkey Day all in one perfect bite. It was cheese and the cranberry sauce gave it a nice sweetness. This is definitely a place to get a drink, but I'm glad that they served food during my visit.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Three of Strong. We've been several times, and there's…read morejust a warmth and coziness to it that I haven't found in many of the surrounding breweries/distilleries. The interior is spacious and chic, everyone greets you with a smile, and the service is just so kind. The cocktails are also delicious and reasonably priced: highly recommend doing the cocktail flight ($11 for three pours) so you can try a variety! We usually order their popcorn as well: $5 for a bowl with unlimited refills. Great cocktails + great popcorn + any of the boardgames that they have on hand = a perfect rainy-day afternoon. I also have to give a special shout-out to the staff at Three of Strong for allowing me to host part of my 30th birthday at the distillery when a previously planned picnic got rained out. I cannot emphasize enough how welcoming and helpful everyone was, setting tables up last minute to seat our large group, getting us paper plates, a knife, and a lighter when I was woefully unprepared for the cake-cutting, and slinging great drinks all afternoon to keep everyone entertained. We've since moved out of Portland, but Three of Strong remains one of our favorite go-to's during our time there. I'd give them 10 stars if they could, and you can be sure we'll be visiting next time we're back in town!
