When you enter you see a beautiful room, filled with yellow tables and chairs, and huge windows to see the rest of the mountain. It's warm, inviting, and great for groups. We were all impressed by how stunning the place looked as we walked in. I came with a group of 6 people after a morning of skiing. We were cold, hungry, and ready to eat. Nest more than met our expectations. We had an assortment of cocktails, cocoas, chilis, and sandwiches. I personally loved the Cubano sandwich. It is huge! I recommend sharing with a friend. It's not like a typical Cubano, but it's a fun twist. The bread was a perfect texture and the dijon mustard added great flavor. I was impressed by how well plated the food was for being on a ski mountain. Cocktails were good, but pricey. Hot cocoas were cheaper and more delicious! Overall the food was awesome, great for sharing, and reasonably priced. I don't ski at Saddleback often, but when I come back I will make a point to stop for lunch again. High recommend!

You can't drive here. You can ski or snowmobile. You're greeted by a stark wooden building with a truly green roof off the trails. Once you walk inside, it's a totally different story. Some is the most gorgeous mountain views in the East, with Rangeley Lake in the background, Mount Washington to the West, Sugarloaf Mountain to the North, and an upscale, modern and welcoming place. The beer selection is ample although only cans - kind of hard to get kegs 2,000 feet up - and the menu is quite extensive - from ramen to a delightful recreation of a Cuban Sandwich - an enormous serving. Definitely a great place to eat while T Saddleback.

Tonight we had wonderful live music by a band called Trio Con Brio, and they were playing a Grateful Dead song when we were heading out. It was very busy. Lots of delicious little plates of food coming over from next door at the Liberal Cup. My chocolate martini, called the "I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW" was strrrooonggggg. But omg so tasty! Yum. I'm not a regular drinker at all, but I was the first one to finish my drink. Oops. They asked if I wanted a second one. I probably wouldn't have been able to find the front door if I did. Haha. The atmosphere in here is so sweet, pine boughs, ambient lighting, floating candles (think Hogwarts!), exposed beams. Lovely. Very sweet.

Great place to stop for a drink after a day on Rangeley Lake, you can get there by boat and dock at the Loon Lodge Inn dock. The decor is rustic and warm and there is a wonderful view of Rangeley Lake. Would definitely come back again.

I would love to know where they get the decor for this place. I'd imagine a lot of flea markets (fabulous ones)? It's hard to pick my favorite decor item because there are so many, but it's somewhere between the chairs shaped like hands and the giant silver octopus tentacle under the T.V. Ooo and the corner with all the clowns! Drinks are strong and cheap. The bartenders are friendly. There's a patio, but it's a bit small. There are plenty of comfy chairs/couches. They have live music pretty often, so if that's your thing, you'll be happy there on weekend nights. The only thing is the space is kind of small for live music, so it can get really loud. This is an excellent chill option if you're in Hallowell and want to skip bars that tend to get a bit fratty like The Quarry Taproom. Highly recommend!

Stratton Plaza is the latter. You enter through a sort of game room area (ping pong, pool tables, etc.) to a large room with a bar, tables and a dance floor. Service is good, quick, and friendly, although you may have to flag down your server from behind the bar. My rule for 'bars that serve food' is to stick to bar food; on one night I violated that rule and ordered a Turkey Dinner. (Shaved deli turkey, cranberry jelly from a can, stuffing from a bag, etc.) Pretty bad, and another example of why I should stick to the rules. The other two nights I had a veggie pizza. This was actually very well done, with a good crust and nice selection of veggies that avoided the 'compost' state of some veggie pizzas. Burgers at the next table also looked good and prices are very reasonable. The beer is fine, with several local beers on tap. Fine place if you remember that it is a bar that serves food.
