16 Best Cocktail Bars near Kennebunkport

“Had an awesome dinner here. Great cocktails. Started with the salmon rillette which was a refreshing light bite. I had the lobster vol au vent and my husband the pollock Wellington, both delicious. Desserts were great, definitely worth the stop!“

“Just went for cocktails and bites from the Veranda menu. It was pretty windy outside, so they let us sit in the living room. But we still had an incredible view of the ocean at sunset! The drinks and food were amazing. I loved the Thyme 75 and the deviled eggs (perfect smokey paprika and crispy shallots). It was quiet and not crowded during the off-season. The service was perfect. Attentive and kind, but let us enjoy our quiet time with the waves. We will definitely be back!“

“Fine quality food, especially the lobster roll. Very good service and scenic location“

“This resort was stunning, both the grounds and facilities. The highlight for my wife and I was working with Louise at the front desk. Louise was exceptional in booking my stay and for recommendations. Louise helped me book a room that met my desires and it did not disappoint. I also worked with Louise for local dining recommendations, day and night time activities along with planning the best scenic routes while traveling around the area. Louise was a wealth of knowledge, her professionalism was unmatched and she was genuinely a joy to talk to. People like Louise are what build great reputations for establishments like the Nonantum, my wife and I will certainly stay at the Nonantum again, and we look forward to seeing and working with Louise in the future.“

“An incredible fine-dining seafood spot hidden in Kennebunkport! Beautiful views, amazing food!!“

“Lovely atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I loved the lobster salad, fresh and tasty.“

“During our four-night stay at The Tides Beach Club, we found ourselves irresistibly drawn back to their restaurant, not once, but twice, a testament in itself to its magnetic charm.

On both evenings, we were attended by Ruel, whose service embodied the art of hospitality: attentive without intrusion, polished yet warmly personable. His grace and professionalism elevated the dining experience to something truly memorable.

The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional, each plate thoughtfully composed, balancing coastal freshness with refined execution. Cocktails were crafted with precision, showcasing top-shelf ingredients and a deft hand behind the bar.

Set against the serene backdrop of the seaside, the restaurant invites lingering conversation and quiet indulgence. The Tides Beach Club Restaurant is not merely a hotel dining option, it’s a destination unto itself, and one well worth savoring.“

“If you like Ginn you have to try this place!!“

“The best…The new Peruvian comfort food menu & the drink menu is 11/10!“

“Christopher at the bar is amazing and the owner Jake was so accommodating to our group. We literally brought a wedding party here last minute on a holiday weekend and they made the night! Thank you Jake a Christopher! ❤️“

“The owner/bartender makes the best cocktails I've had in Maine. His drinks are super balanced, authentic and presented well with a focus on early 20th century classics. The environment offers the best ambiance around with a lounge, outdoor deck and a ton of "vintage" game systems to play with. I would tell more people about it, but I'm afraid once word gets out there will be a line to get in and a cover charge. 10/10“

“Love it! So great! Amazing drinks!“

“Had a great visit at Coastal Wines. The tasting had GENEROUS pours of some amazing wines. Great atmosphere, highly recommend“

“We had an amazing time at the drag show, and the girls coming together and serenading me “Happy Birthday” was awesome. I also have to tell you about the fancy grilled cheese sandwich, it has goat cheese | sharp cheddar | brie | oaxaca | honey | sweet peppers… it was amazing….. wonderful food, great people and fabulous atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!!“

“This place! It’s so awesome! The food the staff and the adorable atmosphere are so great!“
