21 Best Bars near Saco

“Awesome pinball arcade with a great selection of canned beer. The owner is very kind, and passionate about what he does; he will talk with you at length about pins, their maintenance, purchasing, etc. The 40-odd machines at this arcade seem to be rotated out regularly with the other 60-odd machines he keeps at home.I would totally come more regularly if not so far away from work/home. But this place is worth a visit if you're within 2 hours, for sure.“

“The drinks are appropriately priced and so delicious!!! I got a blueberry mule and it was incredible. The vibes are immaculate too, the lighting is so nice and the deck is amazing too to get some fresh air. The bartender Jacob is so welcoming and friendly, really elevates the experience :)“

“Our server Kurt was so attentive and kind and made our evening out to celebrate a very special experience! The seafood stew wasn't exactly what we expected, we found the Thai broth flavor to be a bit overwhelming but the seafood was cooked perfectly! The halibut main dish was amazingly delicious, the scallops literally melted in my mouth and the doughnuts (as always) were heaven! We will definitely be back!“

“This is a gemstone of a local business in Biddeford, ME. My mother and I went here for their second Sunday of the month silent book club. We have the people and atmosphere. Many unique readers joined the event. The staff members were friendly. My mother said her coffee was excellent and I attest that my ginger orange tea was soothing and flavorful. It was worth the drive.“

“My boyfriend and I came in for the first time today and will definitely be returning! There is a huge selection of games and ample, comfortable seating. The space is very clean and well-lit, the bathroom was clean and even had a container of tampons for people to grab if needed! I think that’s so kind. There was an impressive drink selection. The owner was really nice, upbeat, and informative. We can’t wait to come back when we have some more time to spare!“

“We always make it to Joseph's by the Sea without fail yearly during our OOB vacation. Bonus that's it close to the house we rent. Great atmosphere inside and outside, delicious food and drinks, great service, and the best live music. Always a fun time!“

“First of all, this restaurant is stunningly beautiful and the location is too. It’s just beautiful. Our dinner was delicious. We had the tomato salad, the scallops and the filet. We also had the asparagus and potatoes as sides. Service was great. I’ll be thinking of this dinner for a long time!“

“Lovely Cafe in the Kennebunk area. Stopped by here for breakfast before heading back home to New Jersey. The atmosphere inside was just amazing. It was so comfortable, and there were lots of books and board games for the customers to enjoy. The staff was also incredibly polite and helpful. My family thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and visit.“

“George was the only server/bartender there on a summer night. He was amazing, great and attentive service. Food was terrific and the drinks he recommended were perfect- not too sweet as requested.Kid-friendliness: There were table games and kid friendly food.“

“Came in not knowing what wines to bring to Thanksgiving and left with two really cool bottles that I'll be excited to share with my relatives. Next time I would love to try some food and wine, and maybe get into some natural wine! It's nice knowing there's a place where you can go in no matter how well versed you are in wines. I'm looking forward to returning in the future.“

“First time dining tonight, and it was phenomenal. Plenty of chips on the table, server was excellent and fast, food came out in minutes from ordering! The atmosphere was clean and the staff was so kind. The chimichangas we ordered were perfectly crispy and they accommodated change of sides! They even make guacamole in front of you. I am so impressed and will be back.“

“Shared a exciting and elated night out here on old orchard beach Maine. I’ve visited OOB many times but yet had crossed this one off the list. Definitely a great time and live music was sensational. If your in the old orchard beach area get down here!“

“After getting subpar and expensive drinks at the Pier we Googled “Dive Bars” and this place popped up! Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders and amazing prices. Take the walk off the beaten path of the downtown craziness- you will have a great time!“

“Lovely place we had our wedding venue and daughters birthday party upstairs. Very nice and a good price for everything. Communication with owner could be a little better but she always responded back when texting. Very nice lady and enjoyed ourselves ?“

“You guys seriously need to get touch tunes and get rid of that horrible jukebox you have now that's just way to over priced and is not that eye appealing, but Shay and the townhouse girl were amazing and made mine and my friends night great! But seriously touch tunes. Get it got it good.“

“Went here for breakfast and great food! The cook brought out my food and realized I had not gotten toast - she offered me the BEST GLUTEN FREE toast! I was so impressed with this observation and the asking about how to toast it for me based on allergies. The eggs were so light and fluffy and the home fries with a good crisp. Would definitely recommend for a breakfast!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and Dairy free“

“I love this place! As you’re walking along the street with all the shops it doesn’t look like anything special, but I wanted to go in and check it out anyway. I’m so glad we did. It’s like a little store with a deli, bakery and coffee shop plus other odds and ends. They make everything in their deli and bakery. Coffee options are also great. They have a small seating area where we sat to eat our lunch. The dessert options are amazing. I had the Greek salad and for dessert I got their homemade Blueberry bar with crumbles. The bar has a thick crust with the blueberries on top. It was amazing! My husband got their hot sandwich with Turkey, bacon and cheese. They had it in their grab n go section. It was also cool to see a wall of pictures with the owner and various Bush family members. Great history in those pics.“

“Came here as it was close to a party we were going to. No knowledge of the place whatsoever. Boy, we were surprised! Simply excellent!I had the Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch and she had the California BLT. Both were tasty and at the right temperature.Our server / bartender, Sarah, was picking them up and moving the out! She did a really great job!Highly recommend the River Tap and hope to be back soon!“

“Your friendly, local Biddeford watering hole. We've only been living in Biddeford since the pandemic so we haven't been able to go out as much as we like, but we stopped in here over the summer and sat out in the back smoking area for a few drinks. It wasn't quite the "record scratch" when we walked in, but everyone knows everyone here. Just the nicest group of people though, at least on our visit. So many people introduced themselves to us and by the time we left we felt like a character on Cheers. Cash only and cheap as hell drinks and beers. As soon as things get back to normal we'll be stopping in here a lot more. Thanks for a good time from Jake and the Pizz.“

“We had met some of the staff earlier in the day when we stopped for a quick drink after checking in to the Kennebunkport Inn. When we came back later that night we were greeted like friends and that meant a lot. The food was delicious, the service couldn't have been better and the ambiance was just what we were hoping for.“

“Today was their first day serving breakfast, and it was delicious. We were heading to a different place, saw the sign saying they were open for breakfast, so we stopped. Very glad we did. It was so good we decided to walk back and have lunch.“
