13 Best Bars near Orono

“Let's be real, I came into orono hungry and burnt 30 minutes before Yamas closed. They not only served us great food, the service was amazing, and I get it, no one likes customers that close to closing, but we were treated so nicely. Go there, get those nachos and cold Guinness into ya, and have a dope evening.“

“Margaritas is a UMaine college town classic. I love to go for their Trivia nights, get a flight with my friends, and share the chicken nachos, which are huge and incredible! For my gluten-free friends, be sure to ask for their gluten free tortilla chips. I always feel welcome by the staff, and recently met the manager who is super sweet and loved to talk about her time at UMaine, but it is clear Margs is her passion at the moment. Their seasonal margs are usually pretty good, but I always recommend getting a flight to try different flavors.“

“Food and service are top notch for bangor. I enjoy eating here as much as I enjoy a hot bowl of lobster bisque. But between you and me, we all know they buy the taste of inspirations brand, warm it up and throw a couple chunks of lobster in there and call it a day“

“The food was top notch. Great service. Really cool space. Menu options are elevated without being snooty and pair so well with the curated wine and cocktail menu. We had The Brandied Camembert, The Pork Belly, Chicken and Waffles, and Birria Tacos. All were delicious, thoughtful, and expertly cooked, but the pork belly was done so well, so perfect, that I foresee an addiction developing. At 8pm on a Friday night we had no problem finding street parking out front. This place is jewel on the Bangor dining scene crown and should not be missed! Don't sleep on it!“

“Best wings ever. Best kitchen staff ever. The guys in the kitchen are fun and wonderful. When the cook tells you to try the new poached burger, well…he would know, right? So glad we followed his advice. Wings and a burger- great way to kick off the weekend.“

“My favorite place to visit in Bangor to un-wind and kick back . Atmosphere is great and very clean. They have pool tables and good music . The owners run the place and are super friendly. The food is great and the drinks are made perfectly and properly priced . “

“While it does not constitute fine dining, Tailwinds offers sit down dining. You can have a burger, pasta dishes and some other meals. It also has a bar. I love that they have partnered with local breweries and feature the "refueled" for the crew of fueling military planes.“

“Food was awesome. I got the chicken bacon ranch burger but wanted fried chicken, which they were happy to do. Very accommodating kitchen staff. Bartenders are always friendly and attentive. The updated interior design is nice. Wild with live music on weekends, and a great spot to unwind after a long day during the week.“

“A friend suggested we try Brewsters and it was great! The service was very friendly and fast. I’m from near Buffalo NY and they had the best wings I’ve had since transporting to Maine! We’ve tried several different dishes and specials and have enjoyed the food and fun atmosphere of the locals. I highly recommended Brewsters.Parking: Tucked away behind the motel but lots of parking close to entrance.Kid-friendliness: Great options for food items for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: I’m not sure it has accessibility. It’s up a set of stairs on a second story. Call to find out.“

“Real cool little brewery in downtown Bangor. We drove up from Bar Harbor and glad we did. It was one of the better breweries in Maine. They had a bunch of solid NE IPA's which I enjoyed and the bartender was a cool guy. They were flooded because Phish was in town and he did a great job. Def recommend checking it out.“

“It's got it all- great BBQ, paper table cloth for our spontaneous art work, live performer played. The axe throwing lanes were booked solid but nonetheless we stayed and I'm so happy we did. Bravo! Recommend highly to families in the area to visit their kiddos at UMAINE.“

It's just a good place to go to spend a night out with your buds. Try the blt, its to die for. Looking for a new drink? Skrewball and dr.pepper. get back to me!“

“Visiting from Boston and ended up here after grabbing dinner at another establishment. My wife and I love finding the local spots when travelling, the Waverly did not disappoint. The beer was cold, the scene was awesome and the dog (Buddy) was great.“
