**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.

It was busy. I had the pulled pork Viking style, side of buffalo dip, my partner had a 6" glizzy ballpark style with side baked beans. They were both fire!! Service was spot on, super friendly I'll be back, grateful I work down the street several days a week!

Went in for a late night hot dog and was delish! One of the best I have ever had! The wait staff…read morewas nice but we waited over 55 minutes for one hot dog and there was a customer that acted out and there was barely an apology from the restaurant. When I'm back would love to try this place again! Food is worth it and back patio is very nice!

We came here to watch football because there really isn't anything to do past 6pm here in Maine. A…read morelot of places close even bars but this place stayed open till around midnight. They had a large variety of drinks and a small menu for bar food. The chili was great and the vibes at the bar were great.

Disclaimer: I came in at a off time for a late lunch/ early dinner at 2:45…read more The place was fairly dead maybe 7 people at the bar & one table eating in the back. It's open seating so we sat ourselves & one of the two waitresses came over to use fairly quickly. She had our drinks to the table fast but again there wasn't much traffic here. Before the food arrived she came back & told us she would be leaving because it's so slow & was transferring us to the other waitress. All was fine. When the food came out my wife's salad was without any dressing & my steak salad was overcooked. I ordered medium & it was well done. Pretty bland too, but bad choice on my end. Wife had to get up & find somebody to get dressing for her salad. We shared some Mac & cheese to try it & I wasn't a fan either it's bland as well even though it's "house made". Probably didn't order the best but still the best thing was the blueberry beer they make.

We ordered an old fashion, the beer flight, fried pickles , and a chicken bacon ranch pizza. The server was great, checked in with us and made suggestions/explained the specials. Pizza was good and had lots of flavor. My husband loved his old fashioned with muddled blueberries at the bottom of the glass for a tad of sweetness. Didn't take many pictures because we were really hungry! Not one complaint/critique about this place. Saw tons of families and very kid friendly.

Had a solid experience overall, though a couple of items were a bit hit-or-miss. The flavor across…read morethe board was very good--we ordered the salmon bowl, buttermilk fried chicken, Flaming Arrow, bánh mì, and pizza. The blueberry seltzer was also really good and refreshing! ​On the food side, a couple of minor drawbacks: the bowl only came with four small pieces of meat, which didn't feel worth the price, and the Flaming Arrow was extremely messy because it was drowning in way too much buffalo sauce. ​That said, the service completely made up for it! Our server, Kyle, was fantastic--super friendly, attentive, and our food came out really fast. The restaurant has a great vibe, cool decor, and fair prices overall. The only other issue was that the bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Worth a visit, but hopefully they tweak the bowl portions and sauce on the Flaming Arrow!

Despite visiting here a few times, I somehow have not posted a review after these visits. It's been…read morequite the mainstay bar/pub in the Old Port for quite a long while now since 1980. It has old school vibes when you step inside with plenty of exposed brick walls and art/decor on many of the walls too. As well as quite a few TVs like you'd expect most bars/pubs to have. It certainly has a vibe overall where I can understand those who live nearby would make it their go-to choice for a beer or a bite to eat by themselves or with friends or to catch a game on the TVs. The visits me and my wife have had including bringing out of state family to visit have been good service wise with minimal complaints but at times waits for food have been longer than expected even when restaurant was not busy. Could use some improvement but minimal. Food wise I have had a burger from them, their mac n cheese, as well as some other sandwiches. I would kind of classify the food in a similar way as the service. It is good but doesn't leave me wowed or thinking I need to return for the meal. It's solid for bar/pub food. If you set your expectations in that manner, I think you will leave quite pleased. A great spot to pop in from commercial street after a day of walking around for a cold drink and a bite to eat.

I live in Denver so this entire meal was an unusual treat. Maybe I am not the best judge for this…read moretype of fare, but I do know when something tastes amazing. The bun was toasted to perfection and the lobster was fresh. I absolutely love beer cheese and pretzels and - again - have a hard time finding them in Denver. These were PERFECT.
