5 Best Cocktail Bars near Northport

“We were in area on a Monday night and found the Hoot as an option. Was told they do a special menu every Monday night for industry night. The night we were there was Southern Food. We almost left as we aren’t big meat eaters, but we decided to stay and try out the ribs. Holy smokes. They were amazing. The bartender was also our server and he was a great person to chat with about the area and the menu. Thanks!“

“Warm and welcoming, and Red knows her stuff. Wish we lived closer so we could drop in easily.“

“Satori is a cozy, consistently excellent Japanese restaurant in the heart of Belfast — a town you might not immediately associate with fresh sushi, thoughtful cocktails, and a refined dining experience, but it absolutely delivers on all fronts.

The fish is reliably fresh, the sashimi is clean and delicate, and the signature rolls — especially the Miso Hungry — are well-balanced and deeply satisfying. Their cocktail menu is outstanding, and the sake list includes everything from approachable bottles to premium selections that show they take their drink program seriously.

The interior is warm and intimate, with a smart layout that gives every table its own space. The lighting is perfectly tuned — not too dim, not too bright — just the kind of low-key glow that makes a dinner feel relaxed and personal without losing any clarity. It’s one of those places where you immediately feel at ease.

The service has been excellent every time we’ve gone. The staff are professional, attentive, and clearly care about creating a good experience. We drive an hour to get here, usually once a month, and we’ve never left disappointed.

Located right by the water in the most inviting part of town, Satori fits naturally into the rhythm of Belfast — a place that already feels like classic coastal Maine. If you’re anywhere in the Midcoast area and want good sushi served with care in a space that feels genuine and thoughtfully run, Satori is well worth the trip.“

“A very pleasant and tasty dinner!
The waitress was outstanding, Service was fast and clean!
