“Great deal on happy hour oysters that were huge and tasted fresh. The lobster roll was also delicious and had a good amount of meat.

The bartender was friendly and got us the food out quickly. Overall a great experience in a nice location. 5 stars!“

“We worked mostly with Christopher to supply cider, beer, and wine for our wedding this past Sunday. My husband and I really wanted to keep it as local and sustainable as possible and he helped make it possible. He had expert knowledge of pretty much everything in stock and the breweries they came from. My husband and I aren't big drinkers so we really appreciated his guidance. It was so great working with him that we invited him to crash the reception and at least get some cake.“

“Fantastic menu! I felt like I just walked into a glamorous pub in England when I saw the menu choices. The cocktail list is loaded with great drinks AND there are two happy hours daily! I had a delicious toasted cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato —so huge I could barely finish half. It came with a heap of perfectly fried hand cut potatoes. My sister got a lovely bowl of French onion soup to start and the steak frites as a main course. There was a big sliced steak done to perfection! We will return regularly! *****“

“Great dive/ cocktail bar off the beaten path. Was recommended from a couple we’d met. And passing along the recommendation. Delicious espresso martini. One of the most amazing pretzels we’d ever had. And the Kraut dog, wow!!! Great place to stop by while on Portland“

“What can you say?? It's New England's first craft brewery, opened a few months before that MA patriot one. :D They keep it simple with a quaint tasting room, plenty of seating outside in great weather, very comfortable and still fantastic brews!! Definitely recommend!“

“Best brewery I have been to in Maine don’t pass up going there. Staff is amazing“

“We wandered in today and sat at the bar. We were so impressed with both the service and the food. The bartender was cordial, friendly, and extremely attentive. We had a flatbread that was absolutely delicious and chicken, bacon ranch salad with house made ranch that was exceptional. Closer than any. We don’t have a flatbread company near our home sure wish we did.“

“What a great place to discover!! One of my new favorites! Loved the cool vibe, incredible food, and special cocktails! Can’t wait to go back!!“

“I love this place and go maybe once a month with my son. We get a cigar, a beer or two, and usually burgers or some similar food.\nWhile the menu is not extensive, portions and prices are fair and the food is surprisingly good. I never come away from here hungry. \nI have been going here since I moved to maine in 1995 and now that I live 50 miles away in NH, after nearly 30 years i still enjoy coming to this place. Ali, the owner, is there every day, and is a fascinating guy to chat with. \nThe beauty of Calabash, is that it is not PC, this is a place that has managed to survive despite asinine regulations and restrictions on adult behavior; there is, to me, something civilized about having a cigar with a good meal. Support it.“

“Absolutely love this place! The selection of arcade games, vibe, food & overall atmosphere are all 10/10“
