I love going here for wings!…read more The Staff are always friendly and welcoming when I'm there. They have a great beer selection for a cozy little place. I had the Cubano and while delicious it was so dry I had to get a side of mustard just to get it down. I had wings, a Cuban and 3 beers for 47.12

While vacationing in Westbrook I stumbled upon this gem whilst enjoying a stroll along the City's…read moreRiverwalk (definitely worth exploring this beautiful trail too). It was a lovely sunny spring day and I was in the mood for a lil something something. I spotted a Legends server waiting on the guests outside, she smiled asked me how I was doing. I knew I found my spot! So I followed her in and immediately knew this was the place to be. Clean, cozy, intimate, loved the sports theme, it was like you were backstage at some ball-park speak easy. I glanced at the elevated pub grub menu and didn't read any further once I saw the soft pretzel with house beer cheese. *Yep! hook me up with that* Order was placed and I got a cold beer and looked over the menu and absorbed the general atmosphere. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable - you could tell they were enjoying working there. Three pretzels arrived with a side of beer cheese - hint - one beer cheese isn't enough - ask for extra! You're gonna love it. The pretzels were salted lightly, hot and chewy on the outside inside was perfect fluffy doughy rip apart pretzel. Toothy and gooey all the things you want in this pub treat. The time of day I was there was a lazy low-key mid afternoon. There were a smattering of locals at the bar and sitting outside with their dogs (well-behaved pup friendly outside). The beer and wine selection was extensive, there is a staggering number of mug club members. Restroom was gender neutral - single stall, clean. The location is amazing. Right there along the river - gorgeous. Next time I'm in town I've got my eye on the Red Dog Mac and Cheese cause I grew up on that! Yeah, check it out if you're looking for a swanky sporty hole-in-the-wall with a great view.

Omg the Mac and cheese and beans where amazing. Did pulled pork, pork belly and chicken and it was…read moredelicious. 3 different sauces to try.

Was not terribly busy inside a bit dark and music a bit loud but the food was so good we could block that out. The brisket was amazing ! I love that there are 3 choices of BBQ sauce at the table so you can choose. The chicken was also very tender and flavorful but next time definitely getting the brisket. Large portions, fries and coleslaw both above average . Service was very good all and all everything was great will definitely return .

First off, the good: although very understaffed (one woman ran the bar and seemed to serve every…read moretable in the place), the staff was great and friendly. Also, great selection of whiskeys. Unfortunately, the dinner was underwhelming. I ordered the chicken parm from the "entree" section, and I kid you not, it was a large chicken nugget swimming on an ocean of pasta. I almost asked if the rest of it had fallen off before it got to the table, but we had waited so long by that time (and the single bartender/waitress was taking care of other tables,) so I just ate it. I probably won't go back for dinner, only if the goal is to try new whiskeys.

Stopped here before I went to a concert and it was just okay…read more I think it was overpriced for what you got. They have small bites but I paid 14 dollars for a red hot dog with bacon on top. It was just a regular red hot dog not that fancy, not worth the $14. The drinks were $12 which is standard. I had the Long Island "Maine" ice tea, and it was decent but nothing special. The service was super friendly. I wouldn't go out of the way to come here unless I stop for a drink before a concert.

I enjoyed my cocktails (the Blueberry Mojito and the Castle Bravo) and especially loved their…read moredelicious nachos. However, I wasn't wowed by this place. The decor is summer-camp-esque, which was cool and kitschy, and service was friendly. Again, the drinks (one of which has received local acclaim) and food were good, but nothing I couldn't get elsewhere. It's also relatively out of the way--Thompson's Point--meaning that unless I'm seeing a concert or going ice skating, I don't think I'd go out of my way to go here again. However, it's definitely worth a try, just not for me.

Five of Clubs takes the cake as the chicest hotel lobby bar that you'll find in Portland. Gorgeous…read morebar and variety of different seating (comfy chairs, bar seating, large community table), this spot is a great place to go for casual drinks or a nightcap. It's likely best for 2-3 people and not suited for larger groups without a reservation for the sofa seating. The have a set of signature cocktails and seasonal cocktails that rotate. The functional mocktails were surprisingly delicious. I've had the Amarelle (green tea, cherry) a few times and love how refreshing and tart it is. Regarding food, looks like they give the menu a little facelift to keep things interesting and some of the items I've had (like the charcuterie) are currently not on the menu, so check before you go! It's definitely a light bites type of place versus a full dinner. I've enjoyed the lighter fare that I've had in the past!

As for drinks, we tried the espresso martini, the Wilde gray gimlet, the sea cook, and the five of clubs. The espresso martini and a good balance of espresso flavor, and the gimlet was my favorite drink of the bunch. The service was awesome, they were attentive and gave great recommendations on the menu. This is the perfect spot for a date night or night cap happy hour. It's very cosy, doesn't feel like a typical hotel bar! Can't wait to visit again.

This time we had more time so we got to play some pinball, have some apps and some cocktails-and once again food and service was excellent (thank you Kate!!!)!! Over the course of approx 2 hours we tried the chicken fingers and the fried pickles, both were excellent-had a few beers and I even enjoyed their Aperol Spritz!! Of course we got our favorite entrees (The Jr Beef for her and the Steak and Cheese with Peppers and Onion for me) and I am happy to say they killed it again!!!!

Yet another fantastic visit to George & Leon's! It had been a little while since we have visited…read morebut with it being so close decided to have dinner here. Showed up before any sort of rush and snagged two seats at the bar. The overall vibes are great here with lots of interesting decor (lots of movie & horror themed things). The bartender greeted us and was willing to answer any questions we had and immediately got us glasses of water. We then decided on cocktails and she made great tasty drinks to our liking. My wife went with a Daiquiri and had just enough fruity/sweetness with a kick still. I got one of their bourbon drinks and it had a great kick to it. Food wise I ended up getting their Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and it was a delicious sandwich with juicy chicken. My wife got the Jr. Beef and enjoyed it but thought the sauce was a touch spicy (would likely pick another item next time) but very much enjoyed it and finished it still. We split an order of onion rings and they were outstanding, lightly battered but perfectly crispy. Due to sitting at the bar we had fantastic conversations with the bartender who made us feel welcome and provided great service. We talked about our love for animals, Maine and more. Really the perfect example of how the experience of sitting at a bar should be and why you'd return! Give George & Leon's a try if you haven't and if it's been awhile revisit!

What a fabulous find! It's tucked away in a neighborhood far from the tourist hot spots…read more Frankly, I'd be here every week if I lived in the area. We arrived at a weird hour of the day, around 3:30/4:00 p.m. The bartender seated us and took our order as there was only one other patron. She was friendly and attentive, even made a pot of coffee for my daughter. We enjoyed the Scotch egg, bangers and mash, lamb lollipops, French onion soup, and pub salad - all of which were amazing. The decor was fresh and clean. Loved the pictures of pubs from the Cambridge and Somerville - quite unexpected. The Continental made our trip home much more pleasant. Thank you, Continental!

The cocktail menu is massive but the martini's are in these tiny dollhouse-sized glasses. I've never seen a martini so small and so heavy on the vermouth. The worst part was the server - I can't figure out if they are trying to do a whole Disney experience with the rudeness for part of their skit, but I won't go back for the service. They were not friendly, they were annoyed when we ordered food, they were annoyed when we asked where a drink that had been ordered 30 minutes ago was. This area lacks restaurants, but it doesn't mean we have to settle for bad ones.

They're…read moreopen until 11pm; annnnnd, I'm pretty sure they serve food that late too (which is a rarity in this city). The bartender/server/basically-everything the night I came was hustling. She was handling a room full of people, including a very large party, all by herself and was gooooooooooood at it. She made my martini extra filthy dirty; she had all the answers for all our questions. For me, there's not much of an atmosphere or vibe or ambiance. It feels like it's catering to an older crowd who doesn't need that, just a place they can have a drink off peninsula and be a little loud about it. It's definitely not a destination spot for anyone looking up "12/24/48 hours in Portland, ME" so if you want to avoid those tourists altogether, this would be a safe spot. Also, if you're vegan, there's not really much to eat. I mean, there's olives, but they're purple (and, I don't know, but I think the green ones are always better)!

Our server, Tina, was fantastic--attentive and quick, making sure we had everything we needed. The wine was delicious, and the appetizers were just as impressive. We tried the scallops and a mushroom pâté, which was absolutely amazing--true standouts.
