Upstairs
Danielle V.

** This review is for the event space upstairs** I went to a networking event in the event space upstairs and was very happy with the set up. Lots of space to sit and some comfy couch areas as well. I didn't try any food but it looks like they have some great options. The downstairs has a large bar and garage doors that open up to the outside. The whole inside gets lots of sun and is super pretty. I will be back to try it at a non event.

I've been to Sacred Profane on multiple occasions now and I am always blown away by the food here. There isn't one bad option on the menu. The smashburger is definitely my favorite item, it's the perfect burger. I usually go for a glass of wine here and all the options are great but I have tried a cocktail before. It was the Pink Pony Club which is fruity and has tequila. not my favorite but wasn't too bad. I love the space a lot too. Sitting outside on the patio in the summer is perfect on a nice day. The only reason I can't give this review 5 stars is due to the service. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming so that is not the problem. I have just always had a problem with waiting to have my order taken or the slowness of actually receiving the food and drinks. I noticed the last time I went that people who came in about 5-10 minutes after us got helped before anyone came over to our table. Once our order finally got taken the drinks took another 10 minutes to come out and all we got was a bottle of wine for the table. I am not sure why a bottle of wine would take 10 minutes. I will still continue to love this place for outstanding food and atmosphere but would love to see a better dynamic when it comes to service.

Lobster Roll
Aheli P.

Truly a hidden gem! Sacred Profane nails the trifecta of great beer, amazing food, and kind staff. It's the only spot in the U.S. doing tank-pour lagers, where the beer is suspended from tanks and flows with gravity directly to the luger tap. They serve two types of lager beer AND have an extensive cocktail, wine and shandy list. The lobster roll with smoked trout roe, pierogis, and grilled cauliflower easily count among the best bar food we've ever had. The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to accommodate my weird allergy. The vibes are awesome and chill. 10/10 recommend. Pro Tips - Ask about the tank pour setup--it's worth learning about - Plenty of parking in front - Don't miss the lobster roll - Lots of seating inside, outside and upstairs!

Great service, i loved it there, the burger was delish and all the food was great the lighting was pretty and and the decor was nice

New IPA

Haven't been here in about a year, but what great improvements already. They now have an extensive food menu, a broader cocktail menu, and most importantly and extremely comfortable covered patio. We were extremely excited to sit under the new umbrellas and in the suspended chairs. And of course, the beer is so great. Cool spot.

Server greeted us with a friendly welcome and seated us right away. Our server came over and asked if we have ever been here before. We explained this was our first time and she went through the history of the brewery, the types of drinks we can order and the day's specials. My wife order her drink and a cauliflower steak with broccoli. I order their equivalent of a black and tan and pierogis with bratwurst. All were delicious. Beautiful open air dining and pleasant music playing. Czech inspired lagers and menu. We will be back.

Smash burger with aioli fries

I tried the smash burger and it ranks among the top I've had in Maine!! Wife had the savory pierogi and loved it we also got the pretzel and it is a must have!! Definitely will be back next time through town!!

Friendly staff, great beer, food, and community events... what's there not to love?! Every time I go to Sacred Profane, I love it more than the last time. They have perfected the art of Czech beer. Although they only have a light and a dark lager -- with a few variations of each, by adding more foam, mixing them, etc -- they really have mastered these two beers. Less is more at Sacred Profane, and you can tell the team behind the magic has focused on quality over quantity. The venue itself is one of my favorites. It's cozy and welcoming, with outdoor seating during the warmer months. The staff is always so amicable and helpful. If you're a beer drinker, you have to visit Sacred Profane. I can't wait for the Portland location!

Blaze Brewing has a very lowkey ambiance. Somebody referred to this place as a "microbrewery" and I…read morewould have to agree. They have a multiple beer categories but limited options within those. Outdoor seating was not open when we went (early spring/way too cold), but the inside was nice enough. There are long tables along the windows and a couple other tables here and there. Service was fine, just the normal walk up, order, and pay. I did not like the pizza (rip my $20), the crust in the middle was just way too thin and it became mush with the toppings. However, Blaze has other good enough options to return.

I have been a beer fanatic for over a decade and use Untapped to help me track beers that I have…read morehad and to compare with others. Typically I am an "IPA Girl," but I like to try other styles every once in a while. I was at Pat's Pizza in Brunswick celebrating with my softball team, after a win of course, and I ordered your Blazing Love Sour. I am in love. I thought that no one could top New Jersey's Oozlefinch, but you, my friends have definitely done it! I love how you have made a sour, with lactose that is not thick and weighs you down. You combined all my favorite flavors of blueberry, vanilla, and cinnamon without making it too sweet and keeping it light and unbelievably enjoyable. I immediately researched where your brewery was and was saddened to see that you have temporarily closed the Biddeford establishment. I will wait with baited breath till you open again and will become a regular, greeting every one and encouraging them to try all of your beers.

We arrived and sat at a picnic table with an umbrella so our pup could be in the shade. We were having a great time, so excited to be there and amped to try their current taps. Just as our apps were being brought out, a gust of wind lifted the umbrella clear out of the table, spilling my wife's drink and sending the heavy metal umbrella pole directly into my face and chest HARD. My wife, the server, and I were all stunned for a moment. Wife thought I was bleeding until we realized it was rust on my face and chest from the pole. Server asked if I was okay, clearly feeling a little awkward, and with my hand to my face I said "I think so? If I'm not bleeding, I guess?, still totally stunned and feeling some pain. Face throbbing, my wife asked for an ice pack, and the server brought us one. We totally understand that it was a freak accident, and that it wasn't our server's fault. But it got awkward from there as the crew working became avoidant. The girl that sat us saw me teary eyed from the pain, holding the ice pack to my face and asked if we were okay... but that was it. The atmosphere quickly became awkward, and considering the pain I was in combined with feeling totally weird from the staff, we asked for a box to take our uneaten food to go. Server brought our check and we were a little surprised to see that we were still charged for the drinks (one of which had spilled because of the umbrella) and the food. We paid cash, still left a nice tip, and left, wanting to get out of the sun and keep an eye on the swelling. We were really disappointed in how the situation was handled by the crew. We weren't looking for our apps to be comped, but it would have been nice for a manager to come by, apologize, offer to refill my wife's beer, and maybe move us to a different table since we were no longer in the shade. The team didn't go around and check the other tables to make sure the umbrellas were safe and secure, either, which was shocking considering what had just happened. We were really looking forward to hanging out, trying a little bit of everything off the menu, buying some cans or growlers to take home... but we left with a swollen, bruised face and chest and an uneaten $90 box of food that we ended up tossing because the mood was completely ruined. We rarely leave a negative review anywhere, but I guess this is just a PSA to check your picnic table umbrella if you sit outside, and hopefully a learning opportunity for management in how to improve customer service and safety for patrons.

My go to study/wfh spot for years. Plenty of outlets and seating, love that they stay open later…read morethan other coffee shops in the area. Love that they have local brews on tap + a good selection of books. The set up a few seats outside when it's nice out! Good cold brew, iced tea, chai, and matcha. Bagels from Rose Foods (aka delish).

This morning, my wife and I finally planned to go check out their space for the first time. What more could you truly ask for than a cafe/coffee shop meets bookstore meets beer bar! My wife is more of an avid reader than I am so she enjoyed the book aspect more. They have a large menu of offerings drink wise with everything you'd expect from a coffee shop. I do wish they did a rotating seasonal special drink menu, as places usually have one or more great sounding drinks on those. Both my wife and I settled on an iced blueberry latte. Overall it had hints of blueberry and tasted more like milk than anything. Would not be rushing back for it specifically that's for sure. Food wise they have some in-house baked goods as well as bagels from Rose Foods and corssiants from Little Spruce Baking. My wife got a plain bagel with cream cheese while I grabbed a chocolate croissant. I did mess up by not requesting it be warmed up but it was still delicious! Will be finding more spots that have goodies from Little Spruce. The bagel was also tasty. Book wise my wife enjoyed browsing but did not find any books she needed to grab. She did enjoy reading a couple chapters of her current book while we sat by the large windows (good spot for world watching outside). We enjoyed our visit but have other spots we would be happier to visit again.
