“This place is a MUST! Over the week we have been in Bar Harbor we have ate at A LOT of places, Tap & Barrel is hands the best meal I’ve had here by a long shot. Marina was super knowledgeable and gave 15/10 service! You will not regret stopping here and grabbing a bite to eat or even just some drinks!“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere. Scallops!!!“

“I my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Bar Harbor. The lobster bisque is exceptional! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Was here 3 years ago and back again yesterday! Perfect Maine!“

“We had the best time and best food here! My sister and I and our families and my two pups all ate dinner here on August 16th, 2024. Our service was excellent and the food was SO good. My pups were greeted and given a bowl of water and enjoyed the smoked turkey off dog menu too! Solid selection of local beers and nice variety of cocktails to choose from too. I would highly recommend checking this place out. There’s also an ice cream shop right next door, if you happen to not be too stuffed after your meal!“

“Tuesdays are slow days for any bar. Not The Barnacle, though. Industry workers and outdoorsy types were walking into the bar, giving it a cozy, neighborhood vibe. Pockets of friends were chattering away in the hidden nooks of the bar. Barstool tables were patronized by all walks of life. The Barnacle felt like a gathering place where everyone was welcome, and that was the vibe we were looking for when walking downtown in Bar Harbor after checking into our hotel.

The menu list was extensive enough, with some food options available. The bar itself is a bit small, but there seems to be an outdoor patio space (verify this, though, as I just saw the back door open).

This is a great place to end your day, or start your adventure. The menu is sized right for the size of the bar itself, and the Paloma Kombucha Margarita isnot too sweet, but certainly delicious. I will be back here again!“

“Amazing place. Kitchen is open until 11pm which is a blessing! The staff is super chill and the food is amazing! The pulled pork sandwich is fire and so is the burger. Definitely check it out when you’re in town!“

“A fantastic meal! The owner sat down with us to help us figure out how to best open the lobster because we hadn’t done it many times. He and the staff were extremely friendly. Very reasonably priced and the food was incredible! Highly recommended! Thank you!“

“We were here on vacation from Indiana and loved the atmosphere! Happy hour oysters and drinks were awesome (the gin blueberry special drink is great). Staff was very nice, Skylar and Amy (Aimee) were very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“We had the Pot Roast breakfast meal today and it was amazing - so tender, flavorful and a unique combination of components for a memorable and hardy breakfast...lunch did not happen! Thanks so much for that, along with great service, and staying open longer than the tourists come. See you soon!“

“Recently discovered your Coal Porter and it is delicious. Only regret it that I didn't find it sooner. Thanks for brewing such great beer.“

“Stopped in to grab something before a tour and they were quick! I really liked the blueberry latte but giving 4 stars since the other pumpkin spice latte we got was pretty bland even after trying to stir it up as much as we could. Definitely get something with blueberry in it if you like flavoring in your coffee!“

“I was hesitant about taking my young family here, but the loft did not disappoint! It's a new family favorite in Bar Harbor, and I have converted to loving seafood and the raw menu because of the loft! The ahi tuna nachos were a hit all around and a big recommendation to try! We can't wait to go back! The staff and food was amazing, and they even catered to my two children (1yr and 4yrs old).“

“July 2026. We stopped in for two cocktails and lunch. Cocktails were very good and not short on alcohol. Sat outside along sidewalk, and the view was great. Service was professional, right down to uniformed wait staff, commensurate with a five star joint. We shared the corned beef Ruben which was excellent. Shaved thin, fat attached, with an excellent horseradish mustard dressing. Excellent spiced, but not spicy, fries.“

“Day one. Lobster roll, clam chowder and a great cup of coffee. Everything freshly made and delicious. Came back everyday, for a week to try the morning sweets. The shop has very good quality retail items, presented without clutter. A lovely place where we will return to again. From Oregon.“

“This place is awesome! Cold brew was delicious and so were the bagels! I love the heavy cream option! Go support this local business you won’t regret it.“

“Amazing flavors and cooked to perfection. We had the maple bacon, fruity pebbles and blueberry coffee cake. And a cinnamon dolce and peanut butter cup lattes. The donuts were slightly crispy on the outside which is chef’s kiss on experience. Visit here for a wonderful experience with friendly staff. Added points for the old school hip hop and R&B crankin.“

“Wicked awesome to find a restaurant that has great food, is reasonably priced (for Bar Harbor) and also caters to food allergies! I’ve recently come up with some food sensitivities and can no longer have gluten or dairy, and these guys acted like it was no big deal at all. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

“Wonderful food, stunning views, and great service!“

“Every meal I've tried there has been amazing! I've had their butter chicken, palak paneer, korma. VERY tasty!“

“Slice of Eden made our wedding cupcakes last year and they were fantastic! We had half of them made as chocolate with Swiss buttercream icing and half blueberry lemon cupcakes with whipped cream icing. They were a huge hit and gone so fast! We decided to have them make us a small blueberry lemon cake with whipped cream icing for our anniversary this year since we did not have one to save from our wedding. They knocked it out of the park! I can’t say enough good things about this place!“

“Two Cats Restaurant in Bar Harbor is a wonderful spot for breakfast! The food is absolutely delicious, from classic favorites to unique dishes, and the service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to start your day. It does get busy, so I’d recommend getting there early to secure a table. Overall, a must-visit for anyone looking for a hearty, satisfying breakfast in Bar Harbor!“

“Hello there! We discovered your brand at the Maine Culinary Festival in Augusta last month and we LOVE your coffee! We were very loyal customers of another local coffee brand in our area for years, but after trying your products we switched to Coffee Hound coffee. Thank you for making such a delicious product right here in Maine! Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Leah &Todd M. Phillips, Maine“

“love this place! went there for lunch and had a lovely time. their sushi is awesome, but I am now absolutely addicted to their crab ragoons. I will definitely be eating there a ton this summer!“

“It was a great first time experience! Loved it :)“

“Great food & service! I like to try a variety of foods to give me a feel for what their foundation is, every item was spectacular! Highly recommend wish I'd been coming long ago! Bon appetite 💜“

“CJ’s Big Dipper is exactly what an ice cream shop should be: lots of awesome flavors, great ice cream, sherbet, and vegan options so nobody gets left behind. The servings are generous, the line moves fast, and the staff knows what they’re doing.

Are they going to spend 10 minutes making your kid feel like the 1,000th adorable customer of the day just discovered ice cream for the first time? 😂 Nope. They’re friendly, efficient, and maybe a little blunt — but in the best way. They’re there to hand you a seriously good scoop, not perform a Broadway production about it.

And honestly? I love that. Give me the delicious ice cream, the healthy portion, the quick service, and the people who clearly know their craft. CJ’s Big Dipper delivers. 🍦“

“Perfect,delicious food ,for both lunch and dinner. Great staff,great view,would love to have this gem in our neighborhood in NC.“

“Stewman’s Lobster Pound in Bar Harbor, Maine is a must visit! The whole lobster is absolutely delicious, and the shrimp is equally amazing. The views of the harbor make dining here even better, and the service is friendly and attentive. It’s a popular spot, so it can get busy definitely get there early. A perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood and soak in the charm of Bar Harbor!“

“Loved this place! The risotto is to die for! Waitress was very kind and the outdoor dining is super cute :)“

“Always amazing food and excellent service. Intimate atmosphere just on the edge of downtown, one of our favorite dinner spots.“

“Kinda pricey but nothing surprising for Bar Harbor. Service was unfortunately a bit mediocre. It was hard for me to get any server's attention. There was no one behind the bar when I went up to order, and it took me a while to find a server when I wanted to add something to my order. Still had a good time, but I certainly wasn't blown away.“
