The food ok . We ordered the potato cakes with pastrami, cheese and onions was disappointing to find that hey we're just hash brown patties with toppings . It tasted fine but not what we would call a potato cake not homemade like we thought. Got the chicken wings which was a good serving and they were very good . Small note the celery looked like it still had some dirt on it . Could have just been scraped before serving. All in all it was fine for what it is. Seems to have a great Trivia following.

But the beer selection is more American than Irish, missed drinks average, and the food is , well, subpar.

The Shepherds Pie lacked flavor with tough ground beef, and could have used the oven over the microwave.

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.

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.

The food tasted so fresh and flavorful, the drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect . Cozy but still lively with live music. Truly one of those places where nothing misses. I'm from out of state and already planning to come back next year just to eat here again. I honestly can't say enough good things about Montsweag. So worth the drive and then some!

At our table, we had the Blackened Haddock Sandwich with Onion Rings, House BBQ Wings w/FFs, Steak and Frites Bomb, BLT Sub, and 3 different burgers (sorry, cannot remember the names) but they were all very good.

Everything was aesthetically pleasing but I did find the muscles overly sauced with a little too much salt for my palette. The lobster flatbread was fine but nothing spectacular since the flatbread was not made there. Lobster meat and corn were sporadically covering the bread. Very good for a shared appetizer. Raviolis were great but since they were stuffed with peas and to have them with pea sauce is a little bit too much but again it was tasty. The scallop dish was on the pricey side for just three large scallops with pea sauce. Apparently they use their homegrown peas in the garden which is organically good. Crab cakes were delicious. There's a little band playing in the pub on Sunday nights. Good place to go to eat after checking in the hotel.

The space is small yet inviting with lots of decorative owls all around as well. The staff were all friendly and our server was very attentive and described the specials expertly. They offered beers, wines, signature cocktails, as well as a few mocktails. Also appeared to have a full bar so should you have a preferred drink I am sure they'll make it. I enjoyed their Ramona Park cocktail that had a touch of spice, while my wife got their Follow You Down mocktail. Drink prices appeared to be quite standard. Food wise my wife got their Not Your Average BLT and I got their Good Ol' Chicken Basket. The BLT was phenomenal with little tweaks/additions to it that make it a new favorite BLT! The chicken was very tasty, yet extremely thin so a few bites had no meat and just breading. Both came with fries and those were tasty and seasoned well! They could have been a touch more crispy though. Overall we both enjoyed our meals a lot and would love to return! Both food and drinks were brought to us in a quick time! I also thought in general prices were reasonable. This is a spot worth checking out for sure! Friendly staff with well made drinks and food.
