Awesome spot! We went in the evening, and it was super busy, but well worth it. The bartender was working double time and did amazing, props to her for managing the whole joint so well. Mixed drinks were excellent, plenty of beers to choose from as well. The local oysters were amazing, their mignonette was very tasty! Also give the trout dip a try, it was delicious. Overall highly recommend this place!
Oysters, beer, whiskey?! Need I say more?! After a long day hiking this place is awesome.
We only stopped in for drinks on a recommendation from a friend. It was also the only bar we found that didn’t have screaming children inside :)
The two bartenders, I believe Trevor was one, were so kind and the drinks were delicious. One of our favorite drinks is kahlua and milk and it’s rare places carry both ingredients at the bar. Well, this one did and it was made perfectly. Can’t comment on the food, but we would return for drinks!

The Barnacle is an intimate spot with a fun atmosphere, offering excellent service and locally sourced menu options. Known for some of the best oysters on the planet, they are perfectly shucked and showcase the skill of the staff. The cocktails are also delicious, prepared by a master mixologist. With a well-balanced selection of beer and spirits, and ready-to-eat sausages available late at night, it has become an ideal first stop for new travelers to Bar Harbor and Maine.
The attentive service, regardless of who is working, is some of the most hospitable experienced in years, making it a must-visit destination. The atmosphere is cool, and they also have an impressive selection of whiskey, tequila, and bourbon. It's a great spot in town to enjoy fresh oysters with a glass of wine or a delicious cocktail, and the perfect place to unwind and savor seafood and drinks.
