This is a wonderful brewery in Maine. We had their beer at a lobster place earlier in the day and were delighted to try their own brewery while we were there. We ordered a flight with different ones but I remember the blueberry ale and the chocolate stout being a crowd fav. We were stuffed from our earlier meals so did not order any food but had a good time here. The vibe is casual, decor is nice and there is plenty of seating for large groups too. Do check their hours as they do close for the winter. All in all a great atmosphere and a huge fan of their beers. Cheers! read more

Came here for dinner and drinks. They have two floors and a nice outdoor patio on the second floor. We were seated there and enjoyed the sunset views. Everything is quite pricey as expected. Reuben was pretty good. No complaints there. For drinks, I'd recommend getting the flight of beers. We got a Real Ale, Blueberry Ale, Mountain Hopper IPA, Cadillac Mountain Stout, and Summer Ale. I really liked the Blueberry Ale and Mountain Hopper IPA. The IPA was super refreshing and not too bitter. The blueberry ale was fruity and had a good balance of flavors. They were all very good, though! read more

Everything was excellent! Cannot recommend it enough...beer is great, food is awesome, and service is fast and friendly. We had the pickle plate, meat and cheese platter, jumbo pretzels, steak sandwich, and beat salad....flavors are as good as it gets. We will be back tomorrow. read more

Quick service at the bar. Was able to get seated right away. The sour was perfectly barreled aged ...didn't taste like raspberry but still was very impressed! read more

Loved this place. Great service. Great food. Great BEER! We were in Maine so we had to try the blueberry beer. It was good enough to buy a six pack! I'll tell you what else was great... their Rootbeer. I'm a bit of a Rootbeer snob and this was amazing. read more

Beer is great. Skip the food. It was way better when it wasn't downtown. Service wasn't good.

My wife and I were on a week long road trip to Maine.We ended up in Bar Harbor, which is a nice little town on the water. Atlantic was a stop we took on our walk through the town. I sat down and ordered an IPA and it was very solid. Our server was great and it was a great couple of beers. If you want a few beers for a break during a long Maine day, give Atlantic a try. They have stickers too! read more

Cool version of the brewery in the downtown area vs. the original about 15 min outside of downtown. The server for the upstairs patio was hustling and doing a great job. Beers are good, I recommend Mountain Topper or the Blueberry Ale. Food looked great but we didn't eat while we were here. read more

Our party of six went two flights of draft beers at $13 per flight. The beers were excellent, we liked all of them. The foods were a different story. Our table shared three appetizers and each dish was small. The taste was ok, nothing special. My youngest daughter ordered the BLT and it contained only two thin slices of bacon. Oldest daughter and I went with the bratwurst and tasted just ok. We would definitely go back for the beer, but not the foods. read more

The beers were great and the brewers board was fun! Could have done with more cheese on the board and less pretzel (one pretzel would have been plenty!) my kids liked the chicken nuggets kids meal, which came with chips and at only $5 it was an easy dinner for our family. read more

Two adult couples in search of good food and cold tasty beer. Vibe was....well,it was weird. Not angry, but not super friendly either. The food was just okay. Even with low brewery food expectations, it still fell short. Beer was also just okay. Nothing memorable about this place. Great location though. read more

The wind was blowing slow and chill, the weather unfriendly and almost boring in its not threatening humidity. We made our way slowly through the colorful Bar Harbor streets, until this sleek, modern, warehouse styled establishment caught our eyes. They were semi-crowded so instead of waiting at the desk we sat up at the bar, which was promptly cleaned by a friendly barman. The selection of beers is focused and locally made, and the two we tasted (a brown ale and an amber blueberry concoction) were so good my wife got an extra long pour on the spot. The garlic fries did exactly what their preparer intended them to do, not overshadowing the drinks but providing needed substance to drink upon. A joyful and satisfying stop. read more

So this is a really nice place. Great venue. Annnnnd, that's where it ends. Dude at the front whispers, so can barely understand what he was saying. Speak up my dude! Getting him to repeat himself he stated we couldn't get a seat if we were just drinking beer. Could drink at the bar, or sit outside. Not inside, nor upstairs on the roof top. Which was bummer because that looked cool. But, since the bar was full, it was outside. So, had a pint and left. The beer was ok. I really liked that blueberry beer, but we had a flight and there was nothing earth shattering. Staff, well you saw the comments above about check in guy. The bartender? Seemed overly stressed (and they weren't packed), so a bit of an a$$hat. If you're looking for a recommendation, nah, not hear. Try other places to drink local. read more

The beer is fine. Nothing that I would consider award winning but certainly drinkable. The issue here is not with the beer. I've never been in a brewery that you struggle to sit and have a beer. You are forced to the bar if you are just having a beer. If the bar is full, out front you go. If that is taken you're out of luck. Not sure if we caught the employees on a bad day but they were clearly "annoyed". Just simply not friendly. Even at the bar, the bartender kept yelling at everyone who came up to order at the only open spot, the waitress station. I'm fine going where ever they want, but maybe make a spot for people to order if they are not sitting at the bar? Just a poor experience. I'll pass next time. read more

Beer flights, big fresh salads and great fries. What's not to love? We sat outside and hubs had a flight while I ordered the blueberry ale. So fresh and crisp! We had the Thai chicken sandwich with garlic fries, and the poached pear salad. We shared all food and everything was excellent, the salad was a real stand out. Fresh mixed greens with lots of Gorgonzola and the house made poached pear, house made Dijon dressing.. yum. The Thai chicken was generous and full of flavor. Fries were good too, but the salad was the real star. Great service and nice atmosphere. read more

This place had a great atmosphere and was fun. Do plan on waiting for 1+ hour if you get here at about 6ish during the summer. There are high ceilings, and senate connected store, and they also have an upstairs. I don't drink, but others in my party seemed to enjoy the flight of beer tasting, as there was a variety of different beers. For an appetizer, we had the burrata and peaches plate which was quite good. I love burrata, and this burrata was creamy and on point. Also came with some slightly toasted bread and peaches. They all went together well. For my main entree, I had the Thai chicken sandwich with side salad. I thought the chicken may have been slightly undercooked, but it was still tasty, and had a peanut dressing that I enjoyed. Side salad had tomatoes, carrots, and onions, and was fine. All in all, it was a great experience here and would definitely return if I am in Bar Harbor. read more

Even though I am not a huge beer fan (I mostly like sours and ciders), I enjoy trying flights at various breweries. Overall I was disappointed by the beers at Atlantic Brewing though. Of the 5/6 beers in my custom flight, I enjoyed 2. Just not for me. read more

Favorite brewery around the area. Beer is great and the atmosphere is unbeatable. I always leave with a lot of merch as well

One of many great dining experiences in Bar Harbor! My wife is not a beer drinker, but for me, she agreed to hit this place for a late lunch. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food surprisingly good! I started off with the custom flight of beers: five 5 oz pours for $13. Luckily for my wife, they had some decent wine by the glass. We shared the midtown classic salad and the Panko Crusted Haddock Fish & Chips. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned. The fish was super crispy! Great place for beer and non beer drinkers alike. read more

Hubby liked his beer sampler. My favorite was the blueberry beer. The Japanese Chicken app was pretty good. Very clean, sparse, contemporary environment. Really good service. They do sell Old Soaker Blueberry Soda by the case. Big plus. Will definitely be back to bring some home. read more

Came here for a group dinner. We tried the beer taster, but honestly, the blueberry beer was by far the best and we should've just ordered that one of those directly. I had the beet salad that was good, but a little on the sweet side, especially with the candied pecans. The chicken karage was a bit dry and only saved by the spicy mayo they served it with. The truffle fries were quite good. read more

After visiting Acadia National Park in the morning, I was on the lookout for lunch. It turns out that several of the restaurants that are usually open on Fridays were closed (either due to happenstance or the fact that Bar Harbor shops start closing after the Acadia visiting season is reaching its tail end), but luckily for me, Atlantic Brewing was open! I walked in and was confused by how I got a table. It turns out there is table service upstairs; the downstairs level is bar service (i.e. you won't have waitstaff). I went upstairs hoping to be seated, but no one was available to help. I started to get the sense that service may be an issue, possibly due to the fact that their waitstaff covers a lot of ground. I was able to order a cheeseburger and one of their beers at my seat, but if I needed any additional service (water, for example), I had to go ask at the bar. The burger and fries were both good, and my beer was refreshing. I just realized that the bar service concept only works if you are sitting right at the bar; if you are at any of the lower level tables, be prepared to feel invisible. read more

This is a total tourist town and this area is a very touristy spot but Atlantic Brewing was a great stop. I went with my 7 year old daughter and they had a great kids menu but she opted for the large pretzel which she loved! I got the lobster roll and it was incredibly delicious and fresh with lots of lobster. The waiter we had was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place was busy but we were served in good timing. The place was very clean and they don't overcrowd the seating so it doesn't feel too crowded. I got a blueberry beer which was a perfect companion to the lobster roll. My sister and dad went to the Thirsty Whale and were very disappointed... I highly recommend eating at Atlantic Brewery! read more

We stopped in for for brew and food, so glad we did! We had the lobster roll( sorry I ate it before I remember to take a photo) it was so worth the $35 My husband had the chicken sandwich and he said it was delicious, the best he has ever had. Our cousin had the Reuben and he said the best on the planet! The bread used for the lobster roll and sandwiches was so soft and perfect! Go here you will not be disappointed Oh yeah and the beer was perfect with our meal! read more

The beer, yes we enjoyed the beer. The blueberry was my favorite of the night. The beet salad was the hit for me. Perfect exactly as served. My husband wasn't very hungry and got the soft pretzel. Oops, it was huge. He liked the beer cheese and I was all about the spicy mustard. Enjoyable evening. read more

It's a good place to stop by for a beer or two or even a flight! My husband had the real ale, which is a dark beer and tasty. I had the flight, which included the real ale, the blueberry ale, a chocolate stout and two others. Very tasty. read more

Stopped in here around july 1/2020 days of covid... social distanced and all... had a few pops & some food upstairs at a table overlooking sidewalk! great view... friendly servers... solid beer options... would come again just for beer... but what prompted this review was my lobster roll...! my god this thing still haunts my waking dreams... it was served with drawn butter in place of typical mayo... and it knocked my socks off... in vermont where i live michelin star type eateries (thats being optimistic i know) but the best little eateries in vermont couldn't hold this lobster rolls garter... if you catch my drift... cant wait to go back.. hopefully next summer and no pandemic... keep it up atlantic... youve got a good thing going definite 4.5 stars... read more

Great ambiance inside, as the whole place is glass windows, so it's soaked in light, the bar faces the brewing operation which you can see through the windows there, pretty high ceilings and spaced out seating which is excellent. Also upstairs rooftop area. Menu is diverse, fun, and priced really well, so my wife and I even though we were there for the beer tried a few options. LOVED them all. First a crab roll, which was a nice change up from lobster rolls (which they also had), real refreshing (lemon on top) and packed with meat. Then we got the chicken karage, which was maybe 6 slices of fried up chicken dipped lightly in two delightful sauces, one a spicy one that I used the chicken as a paint brush like vessel to pallet my mouth in what was a true work of art (it was real good). Lastly, because again, the menu is fun and full of interesting options, we got some deviled eggs in old bay sauce, I mean, perfect to go with some brews. And oh did we have some nice brews. I got a flight, which comes with 5, 5oz pours for I believe $13 bucks (nice!) and such a good mix of light and refreshing, to IPA, to even a stout. The blueberry ale is divine, the stout not too heavy and my favorite, but not a bad beer in the bunch! Service, jovial and sweet people, they were attentive but not over on top of us, and food came out quickly but staged well. Loved it. Lastly there is a merch area on other side with some great stuff, including their beers! Oh and clean bathroom with full changing station. A+, must got to, don't miss it. read more

Overall I had a great experience here. The burger was great, the truffle fries were FIRE, and (most of) the beers were delicious (I am generally not a fan of IPAs. The waiter was also super friendly. My only complaint was that on a low 50° high 40° windy, rainy day, they had the entrance and another door wide open, so it was quite cold sitting and eating. I had 4 layers on and was still quite cold. (I'm from New England so I'm acclimated to the cold too) read more

While visiting Bar Harbor, we walked by the Atlantic Brewing Company tasting room. We love to try new beers so we stopped in. We were greeted right away and were told to choose a table. After sitting down we were given a menu of the beers to try. Our host was very enthusiastic about the beers and they offered about 9 beers of different styles. We ordered a flight with the Blueberry Ale, Real Ale, A Bigger Boat, Faust and SOB. All were good but we really enjoyed the Blueberry and A Bigger Boat which is a NE IPA. They also offer food although we did not order anything. It is a nice place to relax with a beer. read more

This review is from the service in the beer/bar area as we did not try the food while we were there. We stopped here a few weekends back and walked into a nice spacious area that appeared to be a sit yourself area. The hostess appeared to be set up for those interested in more of a dining option and we had already eaten. So we sat for a bit of time and decided on the beers we wanted to try and walked up to order at the bar. After a few minutes of standing and making last decisions for beer based off the tap list, a worker came up to us. He rudely told us "they won't take your order at the bar" and that we need to sit down and wait for him to take our order. We were taken aback by how rude he was in telling us this, so needless to say that made our first impressions go towards the negative. It was surprising that no one had mentioned the fact a waiter would take our order since we had been sitting previously and were ignored. The place wasn't empty but also would not say that it is busy. He finally did take our order and we started to understand where the rudeness came from. The worker had little to no personality and seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else. Not a great quality for anyone in the service industry, but even worse for someone in a huge tourist town at the start of summer. Thanks to the service (or lack of) we drank the beers quite quickly and paid so we could get out sooner rather than later. On the positive side, Atlantic Brewing saved the visit because of their beer. Not saying it belongs in the upper echelon of Maine breweries, but they do make some good quality beers. So that explains why I am giving it 2 stars. read more

Pretzel and meatballs were yummy! All beer we tried were good, I personally liked the blueberry!

We stopped in for a beer before dinner and got their flight of house beers. Mountain Hopper and Cadillac Mountain Stout were our favorite we tried. Would recommend getting the fries as a snack if you're hungry! They are pretty limited on space so we sat outside. They had 3 sets of 2 chairs, all occupied. It was fun and very casual. read more

Beer was alright, food was disappointing, staff was neglectful and management needs a reeducation. The pictures showed French fries. But as we sit down with our party, no fries! Then our waitress gets our order, give us a water and beer and then disappears. We had to refill our own water and walk down to the bar to get more beer. Waitress came back about twenty minutes later to ask if we want more beer. Management was not at all understanding or amenable to addressing the situation. If you are starving after a bike ride, this is not the place. If you want seafood, definitely not the place. Better food and beer can be found elsewhere at Bar Harbor. Management needs a housecleaning. read more
