I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, I guess I'm going to have wait a little longer. The food and the entertainment looks great via their on-line presence. I'll get there eventually and have time to do a full review.

Especially since they started the new menu this place is rocking it. Awesome comedy and music shows downstairs. Staff work very hard and the atmosphere is super fun. It is some of the best bar food in Portland and the chef really cares.Kid-friendliness: Lots of space. Some games for them to play. Relaxed atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Ramps and elevators specifically for the wheelchair bound are here and working.

Was not expecting such an amazing meal. I just grabbed a fried chicken sandwich, but wow, was it tender...So this place hosts a lot of live entertainment. They have a huge downstairs area for concerts, and a large area upstairs where I've seen them host comedy shows. They call the lower venue, The Cavern.menu changed since the last time I was here, so I had no idea what to expect. I think they were training so.eone new, because it took me 25 minutes to get a refill.

We didn't eat on our visit, but drinks were good. The downstairs concert place was a bit chaotic. It wasn't properly stocked, the bartenders were running back and forth and missing for long periods of time, wasn't many options either. Maybe understaffed? The upstairs is beautiful and the taxidermy and driftwood art is awesome.

This was a cool place - the bands sounded good and it was a chill vibe, I was dancing with myself ❤️??Parking: Just the next block down is a garage I paid $20 for 3.5 hours, the street level crowded lot was $40

They have Bailey any options, the food is too greasy not the best. It is definitely a place to go to grab a drink and eat something. Not a good place to get dinner with the family.

Great place for dinner & lunch. Very nice, friendly, helpful waitstaff. Nice atmosphere to watch sports games on tv. Easy access from the hockey arena. Lots of board games available.

Came in with some freinds tonight to catch the Celtics game and I must say it was a great experience all around. We were greeted by a staff member when we walked in and she sat us at the dry bar. Place has more than enough TVs and the food and drinks were great. We mostly got beers (of which there was a great selection) but one of us got the Sugar Cookie and I got the Frostbite (highly recommended if you like tequila). We then got the dip trio and the smoked wings which were great. Most of us got the burger afterwards which everyone raved about however I got the meatloaf sandwich which was phenomenal aswell. Super chill spot and the staff was attentive and personable even though it was a busy Friday night. I'm definitely coming back!

Always a good time at one of the many shows I have attended here. Great food, drinks and
New crew in the kitchen is absolutely killing it. Wings are smoked to perfection and covered in whatever you want. Birria tacos are the best I've had in Maine. Period. Food comes out fast and fresh. 10/10

In their defense, it was an ‘off’ night, so there weren’t any servers. It took us awhile to track down a bartender to take our order. However, once he took the order everything came out quickly. Meatloaf sandwich and fries were great comfort food, but the birria tacos were very greasy. Beer selection was decent.

I have coordinated with Mike on setting up an event and he has been great to work with. I was initially hesitant to work with Free Street based on past reviews. However, with Rivalries closed the options were limited for locations near the Cross Center for a group. Cross Center staff said that Free Street was under new management and that they have turned things around. So I gave it a shot and I am pleasantly surprised.

Visited for a show, decided to give the smash burger a try with some additions. Hands-down one of the best smash burgers I've ever had, and certainly the best I've had in greater Portland. Fries were pretty great too. Color me impressed, would definitely eat here again.
