If it were not for Susan, I'd love to hang out there tonight.
In fact, her son is a very high-quality American young man! May God bless him forever!
Her husband was always decent towards me and is a good kid in my Book!

We have tried many times to find joy in this establishment on weekends. Brought many friends, and every time, we are met with hostility. My friends have been ridiculed for their makeup, clothes etc. Waitresses/Bartenders have been rude every time. Talking about customers right in front of them. It’s such a beautiful space and it’s very sad it’s run the way it is. So many people warned me, but i wanted to experience it myself and was met with exactly what I was warned of. $2 for a CUP of water also? Insane. Popcorn doesn’t make up for treating customers so badly and literally making fun of your customers, the REASON you make $$. The older gentleman at the front door is the ONLY kindness we have had going here. He is ALWAYS such a kind soul! I wish the entire place was that way. How can you even treat people the way the workers are? How do you feel okay with yourself treating people like that? It’s demoralizing. To yourself. You are a BAR, you’re not a doctor, God, you just run a BAR. Maybe find some damn kindness in your broken hearts. People go out to find some joy and comfort in hard times. Every time we have tried to come and find that joy, it’s nothing but hostility.

Best hospitality- you can tell the owners take pride in making sure the atmosphere is safe and friendly and clean. We love this place more than any other bar- it’s like being home!! I wish the tavern nothing but the best!!

$7 for a PBR that smelled like sewer water. Place seems very mismanaged.

Pool tables have the wrong balls. The bartenders were charging me different prices. One had me paying $3.75 for seltzer and the other gave it to me free. Cash only bar was annoying.
Slow service for not only my tab but my friend’s as well. A problem occurred and was taken care of very unprofessionally. When drinks were received, they were weak. Also, open some weekends and then not, not consistent whatsoever. Customer service was trash aside from the woman stamping our hands to let us in. This is my third time being there and I haven’t been pleased once due to terrible customer service. Disgusted with this “tavern”.

Fast service. Nice owners who tend the bar. Plenty of parking in the back of the pub. Good Prices. The oldest tavern in Bangor and maybe in the State of Maine. Three generations (same family) have run the Business.
Parking: Huge parking lot in back of the pub.

The Main Tavern is an iconic pub in downtown Bangor. I particularly like the chicken wings with a glass of white wine. The service is fast and the ambiance is terrific. There is plenty of parking in back of the pub so you do not have to search for a parking space. There is a parking lot entrance on Main Street right beside the lit Hopeful Sign.
This pub is the oldest family run business in Bangor. The Main Tavern maybe the oldest continuously run pub in the State of Maine. The patrons and owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met. This is a "must do" stop on your way to Bar Harbor and to the coast.
I am not much of a drinker but I like the people and the atmosphere. I definitely will be back soon. Thanks Debbie and Peter for always making us feel welcome. We appreciate you. Support downtown Bangor and family run businesses!
