Our group had a burger, flank steak tacos, steak and cheese, the meatball trio and the burnt ends flatbread. Everyone was happy with their selections. Our server was really nice and very efficient.

It was crispy, perfectly sized pieces, very flavorful (I think it was teriyaki) and the portion was generous. We had the pizza special of the day (elote) with vegan cheese and it was decent. The breaded cauliflower app would have been better with some salt/flavoring in the breading and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and texture but they burnt them a bit and it took away from making them a 10/10. The environment was a little loud but the view of the river was nice and the server was pleasant even if a little busy and absent at times.

We went for dinner because two people in our party were vegan and this menu had vegan options which we appreciate so much. I don't believe it's her fault as there is no kitchen in this establishment, but the food was bad. Some of it was not fit for consumption, and, to their credit, I was not charged for those items that were inedible. I suspect the food would be great if she had what she needed to do her job, because the menu was really interesting. It's a local place with nice local people and we always try to support those businesses when we visit a town. But you cannot cook meals using one hot plate and an air fryer, or store restaurant grade food in a college refrigerator for extended periods. Go for the beer, but don't eat the food until this team can upgrade to keep everyone safe.

They have fabulous cocktails and an, of course, wonderful warm lobster roll. The mac and cheese and crab rangoon dip are also worth getting. Food overall is done well and presented nicely. It was a beautiful day and there was great service from everyone. Highly recommend if you're traveling north through Maine and need a good drink and a good meal!

We really enjoy Sea Dogs beer, I'm a huge fan of the Blueberry. I guess I come here to be punished…read morebecause I like the beer that much. This location has the absolute worst bartenders at any location we've been to. Twice in 3 days, they have been inattentive with little or no folks at the bar. The first time, we just wanted beers. "Oh you'll have to wait, there a shift change". Second time, 7 people at a bar that handles 20-25, came in for dinner and beers. We waited over 10 minutes to be asked if we wanted to order food. Then another 15 minutes to pay the check. The location is super nice over looking the river with an outside deck. It's too bad staffing is such an issue. Be aware if you're coming to this location.

Food was mid at best…read more Beer wasn't cold. Service was mid. The reason I sit at the bar is for service. Convo with the 2 gentleman at the bar was great. Woulda been 2 star without that.

I really dig Bangor Beer. They're not located in "downtown" Bangor but just a few minutes out near…read morethe big box shopping area. Let me tell you, there is nothing "big box" about this place. It's quirky and fun. Outside is a garden area for nicer weather and I believe they have live music at times as well. Graffiti-style murals including Rick & Morty (can't find my exterior pics anywhere) and other fun stuff. They even had a bouncy house when we were there. And yep, we bounced around like kids. The interior of the brewery is also pretty quirky, chill, and fun. The employees and clientele are super cool & welcoming. They have a decent food menu that includes stuff from Oriental Jade (Asian restaurant that served Chinese and Japanese food). Oriental Jade had been around for decades. If you're a Stephen King fan, you know all about it. Their food is yum. Anyway, Bangor Beer has a lot of other offerings like fish & chips, burgers, typical fare that tastes anything but typical. The drinks: Yes they're a craft brewery and they also offer cocktails and mocktails. I've only had beer (did try the NA beer that had & it was good). Their pours are of the highest caliber. The taproom has 12-13 different beers on draft at any given time. And of course, beers to go (cans). Draft beers in growlers too. Oddball is probably my favorite. It's an oat stout that sits just right on the tastebuds. The 10-12 is a great IPA with just the right amount of hops. Total A+ spot.

Burger with blueberry and goat cheese was great. Only things is- I firmly believe bacon should be crispy. This bacon was not. That's the only thing I would change. Onion and squash soups were great. Calamari was good. Maple pomegranate Brussels sprouts were amazing! Service was fantastic. They split every dish in the kitchen for me and my wife. Katya offered without us asking. And the kitchen staff were so courteous in doing that. I know that can be a pain in the butt. Everything still had great presentation and care coming out like that too! Amazing! What a gem in Bangor Maine

I was a bit surprised. Then during the middle of that dish came the soup and oysters. There was little room at the bar but the server jammed all the plates in making for a stressful situation.

I've been there 1000X. It was better before they ran the "riff-raff" out.

Pretty clean place. Good location in the center of intown Bangor/Brewer. Gets hopping sometimes, especially after a concert. It was awesome back in the day.
