Dog Friendly Restaurants Southwest Harbor

“Blown away. We are spending a month in Bass Harbor and I was giddy when I found this place. I spoke with the owner who was as pleasant and knowledgeable as can be. THE Sandwich is probably the best egg sandwich I’ve ever had. So thankful they are here for the down season.“

“This a MUST if you’re visiting the Bar Harbor area. Not going to lie, we did overlook this place on our first day but we have some regrets about that. On our first trip, we ordered a giant chocolate chip cookie, a blueberry donut, BYO breakfast sandwich +spicy mayo, a lemon and sugar crepe, and hot chocolate. EVERY item was absolutely delicious from the quality of spicy mayo to the 2 eggs soufflés on the sandwich, and the cookie was enormous. The lemon and sugar crepe was excellent and the best crepe I’ve had in awhile. My girlfriend and I came back the next morning before we left and ordered 1 blueberry donut that we ate immediately and had to order another. They are THAT good. We requested a slight accommodation for them to put their famous blueberry jam on the lemon and sugar crepe, and they were more that happy to satisfy our request. My girlfriend ordered the precipice latte and she loved it. I’m not a coffee lover so I tried the chai tea and was pleasantly surprised however it was not my favorite item. I wish I could give more stars because all of the employees are rockstars! ? Just a bunch of kind, genuine people. Super professional and willing to go above and beyond for the customer. We cannot wait to visit Bar Harbor again!!“

“Amazing little spot in Bar Harbor. As the name implies, this little hole in the wall features great tap beers and an unbelievable Bourbon selection that has been personally curated by the bar owner. That plus the friendly, welcoming vibe make it my favorite spot in BH.“

“Side Street Café is our favorite place to eat in Bar Harbor. This cafe has really great vibes and the service staff is always attentive and friendly. Their cocktails and mocktails are all superb and the "Born to Rum" cocktail is easily the best rum cocktail I've ever had. My wife and I really appreciate that Side Street Café offers a number of vegetarian and vegan options. These can be hard to come by at other restaurants in the area, but the veggie options here are to-die-for! We always get the Brussel sprouts starter. The maple bourbon glaze is the perfect balance of savory and sweet. We've had the hummus platter a few times and love it as a healthy starter before the meal. My recent go-to has been the Lean Machine veggie burger with a side of the house fries. The fries have a delicious salty seasoning and the burger features a delicious earthy flavor that balances well with the sweet spice of the mustard and the creaminess of the avocado. My wife loves the Emilia wrap. The hummus and basil pesto blend nicely with the fresh vegetables which also contribute to a very aesthetic, colorful meal. Whether you're sitting inside or out on the patio, the Side Street Café is the perfect way to celebrate a successful hike, bike ride, or cap off a day of shopping. If you haven't been to this Bar Harbor staple, you need to add it to your list.“

“Had our first pie yesterday and am now having leftovers for breakfast . Holy Wow! Pie perfection ❤️Substantial and flaky crust. Ordered over the phone and so friendly and helpful . Apple salted caramel is divine . Can’t wait to try the savory hand pies !“

“This is a real intimate space with great service wonderful food and an atmosphere that's fun.Vegetarian options: Dessert would be the only vegetarian optionDietary restrictions: They have fish dip oysters fish and a cobblerParking: This is Bar Harbor parking is insane.Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't bring kids here it's mainly a bar.“

“Didn't realize it was vegetarian and vegan only, but don't let that scare you off. Great flavors and some of the best shishito peppers I've ever had. The only thing a little off is the fact that there is no waiter or counter to order from, you seat yourself, order from a QR code and bus the tables yourself, but even with that, I recommend it. Will be back again while I'm in Bar Harbor.“

“Hello there! We discovered your brand at the Maine Culinary Festival in Augusta last month and we LOVE your coffee! We were very loyal customers of another local coffee brand in our area for years, but after trying your products we switched to Coffee Hound coffee. Thank you for making such a delicious product right here in Maine! Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Leah &Todd M. Phillips, Maine“

“You're going here for cocktails. Do they serve beer? Yes... But that's like ordering grilled cheese at a seafood place (nothing wrong with the beer selection though). Understand this, the place is busier than it looks and making great cocktails is an art. This isn't a beer slinging joint where a order is compete in 60 seconds. Be patient. You're likely on vacation anyway. If you want to see a professional mixologist/bartender/artist, go to the Cottage Street Pub. See Cassidy (dark hair, teal highlights). Enjoy her professionalism and appropriate amount of sass. Cassidy mixed up FANTASTIC cocktails for us Monday through Thursday (July 17-20,-2023) (yeah, you read that correctly, we went four nights in a row). Not only did she mix the cocktails, but she mixed up great tunes the entire time as well. Read all that again, don't waste your time on beer here, get the cocktails. Learn the bartender's name, it helps to grab their attention when they are herding 100 cats. Hope you get Cassidy as your professional bartender! I'm sure the others are great, too.“

“It was a beautiful day and we had our dog so we asked for an outside table. The view overlooking the harbor was nice but it was the food that was outstanding. We had fish tacos, a reuben sandwich, and the best roasted brussel sprouts ever. 10/10“

“Bar harbour is a dead place during the winter (it was first day of March however). Have to visit village information center to find out that only one place is regulary working - it's Dog&Pony tavern. And two more are sometimes opened. With expectations for lobster roll of course we were dissapointed but ate decent food, cesar's salad was really good.“

“Lots of bees today. This is their season. Good coffee. Way too much food. Serving eggs Benedict on very thick biscuits was too much food. The potatoes were mostly onions. But I like my annual visit. Next time coffee and biscuits and jelly will do me!“

“Absolutely delicious meal! We made a reservation for our Anniversary dinner while we were on our trip to Acadia. I loved the dark, elegant atmosphere of the place. Compared to much of the other restaurants in the area, it didn’t feel crowded at all. Our server was super helpful, but also gave us lots of space to enjoy our meal. The food was all absolutely delicious. The beef yakitori was so flavorful! The chicory salad was good, but the bacon dressing was a bit overwhelmingly sweet for me, still tasted good, just not my personal preference. The sage dumplings with rabbit confit was amazing, the rabbit was so tender. The scallops were cooked to perfection and my husband loved the trout. Although I think for both of us our favorite part of the meal was the bread. It was so puffy and sprinkled with salt and herbs on top. My dinner could have been made up of just that bread and I would have been happy. I highly recommend dinning here while in Bar Harbor!“

“We had a large carry out breakfast order that was done on time and the sandwiches were still hot even when we got on the bus. The croissant breakfast sandwiches were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better quick breakfast. thank you.“

“Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! They have so many varieties of yummy chocolate candies plus other non-chocolate candy options. Their ice cream is delicious! Its always the first stop when our grandkids visit or whenever we have a sweet craving. One plus is that they stay open through December! They make chocolate covered fresh blueberry candy that is absolutely delicious, plus I always have to get myself a bag of chocolate covered Gummi Bears too! And if you feel adventurous they have Lobster Ice Cream! This place is a must go!“

“Great local beer selection. The service and atmosphere of this place was great. Newly remodeled, A/C helps offset summer humidity.The only thing I wish to rail against is 12 oz beer serving. I understand the high tourist priced beer, but can't stand not being served pints, or at least the U.S. 16oz version.“

“The service was really poor (server came back once in our whole time there), but the food itself was EXCELLENT. Highly recommend duck panang curry.I'm assuming service is better during the spring and summer while Acadia is busy, but in the off season it wasn't great.Kid-friendliness: Very few high chairs, cavernous space so if your baby is fussy, the voice rings in the space.“

“Blaze was the first place I visited on my recent trip to Bar Harbor, and I was very appreciative of them being open on Easter after a long travel day. I was sat at the bar, and found the service to be fairly good. They were busy and were attentive to the people that were coming in, but also seemed to have issues with seating that lead to me feeling pressured to leave. The food was a highlight, I got the duck burger and it was delicious. It was thick, difficult to eat, but the flavor was amazing and the fries were crispy and flavorful. They also had a great soundtrack playing in the background, which may not mean a lot to everyone but was a bonus in my book. I would definitely recommend!“

“It is February 2024. Off-season, but luckily for us - they are open on Thursday/Friday/Saturday for dinner!!Excellent in every way. Our entree was a delicious haddock dish with sides of ceasar salad, and red potatoes. They made me a wonderful Blueberry martini.The staff were attentive and pleasant and the ambience was intimate and comfortable. Bar Harbor is the Best!!!“
