We didn’t eat, but sat & had a couple drinks. Our server was very knowledgeable & personable. Atmosphere was nice to just talk & enjoy the evening. Definitely going to be back.

Walked in off the street and had a fantastic experience having drinks at the bar. They had an extensive list of cocktails, of which we tried at least a handful, all of which were enjoyed.

Our go-to happy hour in Portland. Bourbon Sangria a huge hit for non bourbon drinkers and a Manhattan both on tap. With pork sliders, buffalo cauliflower, brussel sprouts, dips and plates we always start our stay satisfied. Huge selection of scotch and bourbon. Awesome service (Say hi to Mimi!). Packed during the season so get there early. You will not be disappointed.

Great experience! The staff are friendly and knowledge. Try the Smoked Manhattan, Black Walnut Old Fashioned and the Rosemary Sour. I recommend adding a side of Kennebunk fries. So good!

Great spot for whiskey – especially bourbon – drinkers. Huge selection and clear, giant ice cubes on request. Love the atmosphere inside and people watching at the Wharf St “patio” tables. Terrific, upscale bar food as well. Been there many times (for the ice, lol) but after a recent visit, found my card was triple charged the morning after. Called at 7a and left a message. I was FLOORED when I received a call from the owner WITHIN AN HOUR! Told me the two bogus charges would probably drop off within a day or two (they dropped the next day) and if not, to call him. This level of attention from management is why this place is great in all aspects.

Had a great time at the Independent, which has somewhere near 500 different types of whiskey. The waitstaff and bartenders were EXTREMELY helpful in helping us make selections amongst such a diverse selection.

We came here for dinner when visiting Portland and were very pleased! The chicken sandwich was delicious and the drinks were phenomenal (my personal favorite was the maple cider mule and my husband enjoyed their old fashioned). The ambience at the bar was also amazing and the staff were very attentive. Definitely recommend!

This is 100% my favorite place in Portland Maine. The selection of bourbon is absolutely INSANE!! Bartenders are great, super knowledgeable and the vibe inside is top notch. I’ve been here multiple times and every time is as good as the last.

Looking for a meal with a group of seven without any reservation but lucked out just having to wait 10-15 minutes for a group to finish up and leave. The host/waiter was working like crazy in every direction but stayed friendly the entire time and appeared to take his time to help out any table that needed something. Best service I have had anywhere in quite some time. If you are a big fan of bourbon/whiskey then this is a no brainer for you to stop in. Also fans of cocktails the bartenders made great drinks, especially recommend the maple syrup mule (so good!) Considering we had a group of seven the food came out in a quick manner and it was tasty. I went with the southern fried chicken sandwich. It was very tasty, but maybe not my favorite fried chicken sandwich of Portland but I would have tried everything else that my table got because it all looked tasty. Fries again were not the best of the area but still tasty. Very impressed with our dinner here from the awesome service to some good food, will be coming back.
