17 Best Bars near Winter Harbor

“We loved our experience at The Treehouse Seaside Grill! Friendly staff, amazing food, beautiful building, and all around great atmosphere. I went with my family of 8 for a birthday celebration and it was the best time! I highly recommend!!“

“We had the haddock tacos and street corn this evening and they were so good. Highly recommend trying them, all ingredients were really fresh.“

“Dog friendly even with their own menu…the entire staff here is amazing as are the oysters!! Awesome spot!!“

“Their late-night happy hour was a highlight of my last trip. The oysters were so fresh, and their mignonette put every other I’ve ever had to complete shame.“

“Perfect restaurant to take a young family. We have an infant and a 3 year old and you were so accommodating. The oysters (with delicious mignotte’s) chowder and lobster roll were on point. Thanks will definitely come back next trip to Bar Harbor.“

“You must eat here! The atmosphere is lovely and laid back. The drinks (and mocktails) are wonderful. The food... the food is fantastic! You can't go wrong with the apps, but the Dilly Pickled Veg is the perfect little zippy snack while you wait for your dinner. The entire dinner menu is truly inspired. The bang bang fried chicken is always a personal go to... but I opted for the Crab BLT tonight and was blown away! My hubby had the Lamb Shwarma and practically licked his plate... the pita alone was a light, fluffy delight. If you order the fries, which you most certainly should, get the garlic aioli... you'll thank me later, it's also good with the lamb. ;)“

“We loved our stop at Bunkers Seafood! The view is beautiful and we enjoyed the waterside picnic tables. We had appetizers and a drink and all were great! Staff was also awesome. We hope to be back someday!“

“Great food with an attentive staff. Just enjoyed a wonderful meal with our out of town friends.“

“Nice place with very vibrant atmosphere. Very few vegetarian options , the quinoa burger was not available, but salads and hummus plate were good. Other members in our group had fish n chip and chicken salad , and they loved it. Would be good place for sea food lovers. They have some draft beers which are also nice. Overall a good experience in a prime bar harbor downtown.“

“Best vaca find ever! Superb cocktails, tremendous food AND live music? Shut the front door. This place is great!“

“I was hesitant about taking my young family here, but the loft did not disappoint! It's a new family favorite in Bar Harbor, and I have converted to loving seafood and the raw menu because of the loft! The ahi tuna nachos were a hit all around and a big recommendation to try! We can't wait to go back! The staff and food was amazing, and they even catered to my two children (1yr and 4yrs old).“

“Yesterday my daughter and I were excited to take my husband to Blaze as we had such a great experience previously. We had our lab/Pyranese mix Tucker Lee with us. Sam, the bartender greeted us and she proceeded to take our orders/make us drinks. We enjoyed our meal and enjoyed the music next door. Tucker Lee Sat at our feet watching his surroundings and waiting for some treats from us. He let out a little bark 3 times. They were quick minor barks looking to go make friends and he quickly settled back down. No one was near us and no one in the surrounding tables even flinched as we were in a dog friendly town/bar or so we thought. Sam decided she no longer wanted us there. With my drink still half full she told us she was going to get our bill together as she was uncomfortable and that we should not have a reactive dog in public. She then went on to tell us she works with animals. This same dog that apparently made her uncomfortable with a quick minor bark was greeted at other restaurants in Maine with open arms, a bowl of water and lots of petting. He was also greeted in Bar Harbor along the walkways and trails by many people wanting to pet and interact with him. The guy with the parrots had Tucker Lee interact with them. It is her loss and now Blaze's loss. I hope she enjoyed the generous tip I left to ensure the others were compensated as it will sadly be the last time we visit Blaze or recommend it. Great food and drinks is one thing but friendly and decent service is an absolute must. You cannot insult your customers especially their beloved pets. Also if you are going to be a dog friendly bar be sure your bartender greets all dogs with water, a treat maybe and an acknowledgement. Tucker Lee got none of those. Only a judgement on his size. Big dogs deserve love too!“

“We ate at Pats last night and had such a great evening. We had Kernel as our service and he was wonderful, even gave us some great family advice. The pizza was great and the garlic knots were even better! It was the perfect place to let loose and enjoy with the kids! Thanks Pats and super thanks Kernel!“

“Me, my fiancé and two friends went to Side Street last week for lunch before our elopement up in Acadia, and we had a fantastic experience! We brought one of our dogs and it was no problem at all to eat out on the deck! Everyone was so nice and welcoming, and the food and drinks were incredible! My fiancé came here before and recommended it, and this place did not disappoint! We also had trouble finding a place for a reception so we resorted to looking into local restaurants to cater, and when we reached out, Tiffany was very kind and responsive to redirect me to Jon Dumaine, who is Side Street’s Culinary Director. Jon was AWESOME and you can tell how good he is at his job when he lays everything out to you! From the first email, to our phone call, and picking it up, we had a phenomenal experience, and highly recommend Side Street Cafe’s catering to everyone! Everyone absolutely loved the food, especially the chicken picatta, mac and cheese, polenta and Mediterranean dips!! We cannot wait to come back again and visit!!!“

“Great food great staff 🦞🦞🦞“

“love coming here. great staff. wonderfull food and drinks.“

“Great location within the strip of shops. There is plenty of outdoor seating. We went around 3 pm, so after lunch rush. We waited for around 5 minutes (they had to clean a table). Our server was nice. He took our drink order, and it came out in just a few minutes. We ordered our food, and it came out within 10 minutes. The shrimp po'boy was good. The sauce had flavor but just a little much on the sandwich (it was hard to pick up and put down, got soggy). The chicken salad sandwich was pretty good and light. The lobster roll was a good portion size and didn't have too much mayo. The potato chips had light salt, which tasted good with the sandwiches. The lobster salad was basically a bunless lobster roll. The portion was large and came with a vinaigrette dressing. I ordered a blueberry frizz. It was very sour and didn't taste much like blueberry. Handicapped accessibility would be limited; no ramp (that I saw) to eat inside, you could eat outside 1st floor, which is under cover. The bathroom is tricky, getting in and out with 2 doors that open the same way.

Parking: Street parking that can be difficult to find a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Limited to outside, under cover.“
