Bartender has got serious problems. Went in today for a beer after work. I’m 24, and don’t look very old, but the bartender looked at my ID for not even 5 seconds, and snapped it in half and told me it’s fake. I live in Maine and have a Maine ID. Never had an issue like this. Now I have a broken ID and likely can’t get a beer anywhere until I go to BMV to get a new ID. Howies Pub owes me a new ID. I will be filing a police report if I don’t get a response.

Howies is a great neighborhood bar. You feel at home and everyone is nice and welcoming there. There are no cliques or gangs or people that would look you up and down, it's just a great place to hangout for a couple drinks and catch up with friends. The plus side is Salvatore's hoagies has a home there Thursday - Sunday and we try to get a hoagie on a weekly visit! You have to get everything! We haven't had a bad meal or a disappointment!

The Salvatore's experience is having Marissa Tomei make you the biggest and best sando you have ever had. Go let her feed you their unique creations and make sure to add sliced cherry peppers.

Sorry haven't posted any food pics in awhile, been taking a slight break. BUUUUT, had to share about @salvatoreshoagieshop located in Howie's Pub in Portland Maine. I was craving a proper Italian hoagie and miraculously we found Salvatore's. (Tip: a bit hard to find, search for Howie's pub, and if you're coming off hwy 295, hang a rt on veranda st and pull into driveway on the rt). Owned and run by a cool wife and husband team, who bake their own bread and use high quality meats, my craving was satisfied. Large soft sesame roll overflowing w meat, cheese and veggies, paired w a basket of mozz sticks, was plenty for the 2 of us.

Great local spot with cold beer and surprisingly tasty food. Really nice people too. Nothing fancy but for a casual bite after a busy day it's perfect.

Really dig this place. Cocktails come in a tall glass with a small price tag. That's always a winning combo. They have very basic bar food made by the bartender (pizza, fries etc.) Definitely nothing fancy, but the service was great and prices excellent. Will definitely return.

Amazing neighborhood bar with friendly bartenders/owners, reasonably priced drinks, and great food truck offerings. Unlike most dives in and around my MA town, all of the regulars and locals were super easy going. Came to Portland for a failed bachelor party (groom got Covid) and our time at Howie’s was definitely the highlight of the trip.
