Had a terrible experience with the bleached blonde hair bartender at this joint. Im 28 years old and havent been carded (unless a place requires it at the door) since I was 23 because I definitely (and alas, unfortunately) do not look that young. I came in here with my 65 year-old parents after a long day of hiking in the rain and was really looking forward to a drink to warm me up. She asked for my ID and I realized I didnt have it with me, so I told her my age and explained that my purse was in the car and I could go walk four blocks to get it. My parents also vouched for my age. That was when I was hoping for the sympathetic, "oh dont worry about it" response, but instead, she became extremely rude and combative, and suddenly seemed to take real personal offense, despite the fact that we werent being aggressive with her at all. Anyway, I resigned myself to just sitting outside without a drink because my parents had already ordered and I didnt feel like walking back to the car in the rain. We were out of sight of the bar, but apparently she was still watching us like a hawk, so that as soon as I took a SIP of my mothers beer, she came out and starting yelling at us. What really ground my gears was that she was yelling at my sweet-as-can-be 65 year-old parents, who were still kind and patient with her even though she continued to treat us like we were scum. I know, the law is the law... however, by a more common-sense, down-to-earth standard, her reaction was completely unnecessary. Ive never encountered a bartender who is that much of a stickler when someone who is almost 30 years old has a sip of beer at a bar, nor have I encountered anyone who would be so crass as to yell at a sweet 65 year-old couple. In conclusion, that lady is an ill-mannered drama queen, and Im sure there are plenty of good, kind people who own businesses in Bar Harbor who deserve your money more.

Absolutely loved this place. This place is literally a hole in the wall, but dont let the size deceive you. I was recommended this place when I was visiting a small town one hour north of Bar Harbor and Im so glad it was recommended. The cocktails are phenomenal and I fell in love with the Bees Knees; I couldnt have just one. Evidently the Moscow Mule is great too!

Excellent specialty drink bar. If youre looking for something beyond a coors light and margarita this is a top choice. While they have a variety of beers, a majority of there mixed drinks are individually crafted by there lead bartender Tessa who is extremely well versed in mixology. If you get a chance ask her about the bat picture of the entrance. Enjoy

We stood at the bar for a solid 15 minutes and not one employee said hi... we will be right with you..... or we are super busy and wont serve you. Will never go back and if I could give a negative star I would. There are plenty of bars near by and its not worth the wait!

Happy to have this place to go to. Craft cocktail selection is sorta standard but no complaints from me, I was glad to have them available. Free popcorn is a nice touch.. We had a local IPA, bees knees with lavender, Mezcal with hellfire bitters

We had an awesome time here. The drinks were amazing and the service was awesome. You should definitely plan to try more than one of the craft cocktails. Its a small place, but cozy and you might make a new friend. #lovemaineadventures

We stop here every time were in Bar Harbor. The drinks are fun and different. Definitely suggest heading in for a cocktail and some pop corn with old bay seasoning.

Been stopping in here every season when im down on the island and if its the owner tending bar she mixes some delicious specialty drinks. Bees knees is bomb

Prohibition era drinks. Ordered Bees Knees and Ward 8 (not on menu). The watermelon crawl looked delicious as well. Intimate ambience.

Delicious ME beers. Hot bartender that actually knows how to mix. Chill vibes. My kind of dive bar. Will be back next time.
