I could not even believe what I experienced the night of June 29th 2023. My co-worker and I were doing a job in Bar Harbor and had accommodations down the street (with-in walking distance, we were NOT driving). I had had two drinks and was going to order one more for a nightcap before walking home.
I was already a little taken back by the bartenders attitude and the NOT subtle shots she was taking with another staff member named Red (I learned his name after she loudly summoned him over to the service well to do shots with her). She was visibly drunk by the time I ordered my last drink that she refused to make. We had been there from 9:00P to 10:30ish and were just chatting and keeping to ourselves.

Read moreThe single greatest cocktail list from here to Portland in this state easily. Hands down boys.

I just took my friend there a few nights ago she had not been in 7-8 years. She did not remember what she used to drink. I guessed it: dirty water of course! We had one of the best nights of the summer season that night and it is thanks in large part to that little cocktail bar with the beer sign on...
Read moreYou're going here for cocktails. Do they serve beer, yes..That's like ordering grocery store sushi in a land-locked state though.
If you want to see a professional mixologist/bartender/artist, go to the Cottage Street Pub. See Cassidy. Enjoy her professionalism.
Cassidy mixed up FANTASTIC cocktails for us Monday through Thursday (July 17-20) (yeah, you read that correctly, we went four nights in a row). Not only did she mix the cocktails, but she mixed up great tunes the entire time as well.
Read all that again, don't waste your time on beer here, get the cocktails.
Go Monday to Thursday. Hope you get Cassidy as your...
