This lounge is conveniently attached to the Bangor Grande Hotel. After a busy day, it was nice to…read morebe able to have dinner right on the property. There was a free band on a Saturday night. The music was located in a room off the bar, with plenty of dancing space. We opted to stay in the main bar area, as it seemed that there were no waitresses going into the music room. Our waitress seemed new. She wasn't really able to answer any questions without checking with others. My daughter ordered the dessert special but was told they were all out. She switched to getting some nachos and the waitress wasn't sure if you could order them at a time that wasn't happy hour. She apparently thought that food listed on the happy hour menu was only offered during those times. I explained to her that typically you could still order those dishes, they would just be full price at any other time. After she consulted with another employee, they confirmed this. My son got the kids pasta and I got the wings. The food was pretty basic pub food. Nothing mind blowing, but a decent bite to eat at a reasonable price. Once we received our food, our waitress didn't return for at least 30 minutes. We waited a while before she came over to offer us boxes and our bill. Once she dropped those off, she quite literally disappeared. My kids got so tired of waiting that they just walked back to the room. I wasn't terribly upset because I was enjoying the music. However, after waiting another 30 minutes, I decided to track down the one other waitress to see if she could cash us out. There was a main bar/pub area and then seating in the back that was set up more like a dining room. Instead of having one waitress on each side, they had both bouncing back and forth. It was clearly too much for anyone person to be spread so thin, especially seeing how my waitress was new. That was no fault of hers, but just completely disappearing and never coming back seems like something even the newest server would recognize as inappropriate. I wish her luck, just don't know if she's at the right job.

Change the menu to much where they don't have anything on the menu you have to hear everything from the waitress which is hard to remember. We didn't try any food for the reason and for everything to be super pricey. I will be back to try again if I'm in the area, even if it's just for a drink!

On my overnight in Bangor I was at a not-great hotel but fortunately Barliman's was nearby to save…read morethe day--or rather, happy hour into dinner into nightcap, which is how it went (mind you this was right after the time change, so it was dark before 5pm and my "late night" meant I left at 8:30, lol). The vibe is chill speakeasy/library; there's a comfy bar area with tables and then a warren of other little spaces where you can hang out as well, with books and games strewn about to peruse. I love that they have a small, curated menu, which makes it easy: Maine oysters (two kinds, both awesome) got me started with a martini (well OK two martinis; friendly bartender makes them *perfectly*), and then you can extend to dinner with a few rotating options. I got lucky because whoever is making this delicious food decided that bolognese and lasagna should have a baby and be served in a piping-hot dish with some bread and salad on the side, and who could be mad about that?! (NB get some red wine with it). And they feature the fabulous Maine martini (aka Allen's Coffee Brandy, to which I have been converted), so there's your perfect nightcap. Sometimes when you go to bars with small menus the food is so-so, but not here: everything was insanely good and the perfect portion size. Who knows when I'll be back in Bangor next, but I'll definitely come here again when I am. Check it out!

But the beer wasn't quite what I was hoping that it would be. I had the Tiger Style Fierce Pale Ale and thought it was just fair.

Unfortunately I wish I could have gotten into it more and maybe the pale ale wasn't the best choice here but alas that is how it all shook out.

Walked the gaming area with my grandson and came up with a pregame plan of what games to play when everyone arrived.
