Service was friendly and very knowledgeable. The drinks we got were great. Things to improve on: Priced a little high for what you get. 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!

Not many venues in Maine put up local Hip Hop talent, let alone foster the perfect environment to chill in, dance in, perform in, and connect in. The kitchen staff made sure that the food was great, the bar staff kept the drinks on point, and everyone was so courteous and kind. It felt like a little slice of downeast home. Thanks again, Black Moon Public House! It was a truly amazing night! Cheers!

Bangor (specifically downtown) was really missing a good cocktail place and a good place for…read moredessert. Not only is Happy Endings good for both of these, it offers small plates as well. So, you can make a whole night of it. I came here with my sister for a girls night out a few months ago. I ordered a Pickle Martini on special. I weirdly make these all the time at home. Yes, they're a thing. I really like salty martinis, so this was right up my alley. It was so good, too! The pickle flavor was there, but wasn't overwhelming. I wish I could have another one right now. My sister ordered The Happy Ending and loved hers too. Their cocktails aren't exactly cheap, which I realize is a bit of a negative for Bangor folks (I grew up there). But, I really don't mind paying a bit more for a really well-made, craft cocktail. It's worth the price! They also have beer on draft and wine as other options. I'll definitely be back.

There are three floors available with the top floor being rooftop seating. Seating in the roof could consist of regular tables or couch-like seating around fire pits.

If I were to visit the area again, I would certainly plan to dine here again.
