15 Best Bars in Old Orchard Beach

“What a great find! Booked a table after reading the reviews. The meal was perfect, the new to us cocktail was potent and delicious, the servers were amazing, the owner was gracious. Thank you Barb, Dot and Dawn. We will be returning next year at the same time to celebrate my 70th!! Seems it will only allow 1 picture.“

“Such a fun bar to check out if you are ever in the OOB area. Drinks were delish and came out quick. the staff were super friendly and on top of things. Loved the mix of seating areas and views of the beach. Perfect place to unwind with friends or catch some live music!!!“

“The Whaler in Old Orchard Beach ⛱ Maine. First let me just say I really like this bar. Its got 3 fish tanks in it. Imagine a bar with fish tanks? There are two billiards 🎱 tables placed in a cool way. They have live music frequently at night. The bar has a whale theme from the pictures, carvings, and overall theme. Its really a cool sight. The bar is the closest to the Amtrak platform in OOB. It makes it my last stop after visiting. This is one of the few Bar locations that is open year round around The Pier in OOB. Its across the street from the platform. I take the train a lot and will be visiting when the tourist season slows down. Its a fun historic place to settle into.“

“Big Daddy’s has the best food, staff and atmosphere. I could go on and on….but there’s no need to. Simply the BEST! Never had a bad meal, drink or bad experience.“

“I love this place so much“

“So awesome at the Brunswick that we actually bought a condo here because we love the bands, dancing, and bar! 🎶“

No!! there was none! anyways .was charged for whole belly basket and that was that..will be trying other places next time .“

“It was a busy Wednesday night in OOB and lots of places had very long waits. We took our chances on Myst and they were able to seat our group of 7 on the deck within 5 minutes although they were busy too. The service was excellent, we had Kaitlyn (sorry if I’m spelling that wrong) who was very attentive, the food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. We have eaten at a few local spots and this was so far the best.“

“Two thumbs up � � great service, great food!!“

“Best NY style pie in all of Maine right now. Drove 6 hours one way for it on opening weekend! If we lived nearby, I’d be in serious trouble 🤤“

“Fried chicken burger and hamburger where delicious. Our server was sweet but running around ragged. We had to wait quite a bit for everything. Live music was good. The outside chairs were a bit uncomfortable but the atmosphere made up for it.“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Old Orchard Beach, slightly away from the pier, The Gally is your spot.

It definitely has those classic dive-bar vibes, but with really good pizza, a fun atmosphere, and awesome staff. Honestly, this is probably low-key my favorite bar in Old Orchard Beach.

I almost didn’t want to write this review because I kind of like keeping it a secret. But the staff were fantastic. I believe our server’s name was Kelsey, and she was terrific she really made the whole experience even better.

And the pizza? Probably the best pizza in Old Orchard Beach.🍕

No frills. No pretension. Just good pizza, great service, a fun location, and the right kind of dive-bar atmosphere.

Definitely worth checking out.“

“This is our go-to dinner spot every time we come to OOB. Consistently good food and excellent service. Love the casual atmosphere. We’ve had Kayla for our server a number of times and she is top notch! Simply the best!“

“Atmosphere and food is amazing! We will definitely return and highly recommend!“

“Ambrosia was amazing! Food was fantastic as well! Highly recommended! Will be back in the future!“
