22 Best Bars near Waterville

“Absolutely the place to be. Great bar great people, nothing like hearing WAP and the national anthem played back to back. No better place to play a game of billiards while slamming a few with the boys. Neighborhood gem. If you're looking for the real Waterville experience you've gotta hit this place up. 10/10“

“Local bar with dog-friendly outdoor patio. Servers were great. We got appetizers and drinks for the humans. Potato skins were loaded with bacon. Chicken strips were pounded thin but tasted great. Great experience. I would happily go back when we're in the area.“

“Great musicians and bands. Phenomenal pizza. Needs more seating space, but from the owners point of view, that's probably a good problem to have. By the way, the owner... she's hot. I mean, she's a true smoke show. Just saying if you ever want to go out on a date, I'll take you for pizza at the Village Idiot.“

“This was our first time at SamB's, and we have two young girls (3 and 6). The atmosphere is perfect - it is extremely nice, you can hear the music but it isn't too loud that you can't talk. And it wasn't so quiet we felt our girls had to be too quiet. Our server (Grace) was phenomenal!! She recommended the Chicken Marsala for me, and it was the best Marsala I've had. My husband got Alfredo (-spinach) and he absolutely loved it! Our girls enjoyed the kids meals, and for the price it honestly was a great value. We were all satisfied when we left! You have to try the Peanut Butter Mousse Cake!“

“Good food, not great, took away some of the items that were reasons why we went. If you're going to list the specials, it would be nice if they were available. Not our server's fault by any means, but it didn't help with the attitude.“

“Amazing!! Absolutely Amazing!! Service was wonderful!! But the food- off the charts FANTASTIC!! Common food, with unique twists and homemade qualities. Which creates perfection on the plate and fireworks in your mouth!! I can't wait to come back!!“

“Went during happy hour. Service was great and was definitely fast service. Took off a star simply because the first taco “Bad Habit” had 2 pieces of steak. It was delicious though. Margaritas were awesome but that second taco had more steak and it was a bop for me and my honey. The street corn was good on the side and on “the heater” taco prices were good as well 2 tacos and to top shelf margaritas less than $30“

“Went to Levi and Lilac for the first time Saturday. Such a fun atmosphere. The building and its history always intrigued me. The evening started off fun with a wonderful Lemon Curd Brie Cheese with Baguette. The Cocktails were outstanding. We had Old Fashions, Whisky Sour and a whisky with a red wine float. The place was tastefully done with an outstanding assortment of whiskies. My Burger was outstanding. French Fries were even better. Now the salad on the other hand looked like it was created on a Taco Bell line with shredded lettuce and small pieces of chicken. The Salad was a disappointment but we still had fun. We were originally seated in the main room with music. The singer was good but had the amplifier up too loud for a small room. We couldn't hear each other so we had to move to the upper lounge. It was still very loud so we couldn't visit and chat with each other much until he took breaks between songs. All in all it was a fun evening.“

“I Love this bar every time I go to this bar my food is good my service is perfect I love the lady that's behind the bar I think she has blonde hair she's an older lady but she's so awesome like she's so reasonable she has good communication and she's always treated me so this bar is amazing the drinks are amazing the atmosphere is amazing I recommend this barr“

“Went with a large group between 50-60 people. The staff did an amazing job with the entire dinner service! From drinks, food orders, food delivery to the right parties within the group and the checks! Will definitely go back!! I got a Pína Colada drink with the Chori-Pollo & my husband ordered Steak Fundido. Everything we ordered was really delicious ?!Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian combos that include 5 options, a salad selection on top of the traditional vegetarian options offered at a Mexican restaurant.Parking: They have a parking lot right next to their building.Kid-friendliness: They have 7 total options under their kid menu, 3 Mexican and 4 American dishes.“

“Husband's Salmon was really good. I had seen on the web site menu had Halibut but when we arrived we found they don't serve Halibut and have not for some time. I had lobster tail which was good but not great. Desserts were amazing. 3 stars instead of 4 was due to disappointed menu and no halibut“

“Took four 13 year old boys here for my son’s little bday celebration. The bartenders were friendly considering I was bringing kids in. We had to leave by 9pm because they are under 18yrs old, but it wasn’t getting busy until then anyways. They have lots to do, pool, darts, ping pong, little arcade area. The food was good and delivered to the table hot. Will go again with my boys.“

“My husband and I and a friend had lunch on Saturday at 2pm at the Heather Downs location. and it was fantastic. Our server Katie was phenomenal. The food was delish. The only thing we had an issue with was how loud the house music was. We could barely hear each other over it. However we will definitely be back. So good!“

“I give it five stars all around. The food was great, service great and atmosphere was nice. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. I got to say it might be the best I’ve had. It was not dry and the taste was great. Warning though, can be messy. My friend got the French dip. She said it was good and it looked good. Check em out.“

“We had friends in for the Eclips... came in later in the evening and had a wonderful time. The food was great, we had the shrimp and samon. I ordered a new to the menu drink... a spicy watermelon and cucumber drink (highly recommend both). The inside room temp was a bit cool so if you get cold easily bring a light jacket. Will definitely be back!“

“Stopped in on a Friday night. Place was packed with only 1 bartender, but she was awesome. Everybody got their drinks in a timely fashion. Cool mixed crowd with different genres of music playing in the jukebox. Good prices on drinks, didn't try any food but it smelled really good. Had a good time, will be back “

“I love this place every time! The atmosphere is excellent, the food is always delicious and you can eat outside on the patio when the weather is nice! Everything I look for in a restaurant/bar this place has! Come enjoy the atmosphere and the food!!“

“Haven't had Mr. Spots in 20 years. It's the same as I remember!!! I went on National Cheesesteak day and they were giving away prizes with the spin of a wheel!!! I came out with a delicious sandwich and a gift card!! Highly recommend eating here!! I have also heard the wings are good, but I haven't gotten any yet.“

“I stopped in and I said Wow. Impressive pinballs -Bar -bathroom-Change machine. Bartender extremely professional. Played Venom - Lady next to me was playing Sopranos which too funny ?? kept saying Fuc# all the time. Too funny. She and I were laughing. Jeffrey you are not allowed to have that one. Will be back. Good exercise - going up and down the stairs.“

“This place is Great!!! The food is amazing and the staff do a FANTASTIC job!They do a really cool thing for the local music scene too! Open Jams on the first Thursday of every month! If you've not been to one, I highly recommend it! Grab some dinner downstairs, then head upstairs for drinks and live music!“

“Went here this weekend with a large group. They were all BG alumni from years ago. Beer was cold, staff friendly and we had a blast just like old times. Hasn't changed much which is a good thing! Don't change! Just keep serving cold beer!“

“Just a neighborhood dive bar with a drunk uncle on the bar stool and decor and prices from the 80s. I can't complain when I can get a beer and a double of Jameson for 6.50. It's a bunch of neighborhood drunkards on barstools shooting the shit after an honest day's work. What's not to love? Decent service and cold CHEAP drinks.“
