This is a place you may look at and go, "Nah"...well, you'd be surprised! It's a little bar and…read moregrill, but it's pretty cozy and the food, wait staff, service and atmosphere is pretty chill and very good. Everyone there were very polite and not a hugh menu, but sometimes that's pretty cool too...choosing from a booklet of food compared to a 1 page menu can be refreshing and makes choosing something way easier. We received our food on a timely manner after ordering, even as busy as it was. Now, it is a bar, so it can get loud, but not a bother to us. We love hearing people have a good time. Life is just too short and it's great to hear people fill a room with conversations and laughter. Our food was at a very good price for the portions and very, very tasty!! Loved the onion rings with honey mustard sauce - YUM! Now we're not drinkers, so we can't say anything about the bar, but I can say, there was never an empty seat! So if you're ever on Congrees Street in Portland, Maine, stop by and check this place out.

**November 2025: Thanksgiving Lunch**…read more Portland, Maine is basically closed on Thanksgiving Day so I'm really glad that I found at least one place that was served food and didn't' require a reservation during the day. My friend and I came around 1pm and it was a pretty hopping place. Unfortunately, there was only one server for the entire restaurant so we did have to wait a while for the menu and for the food itself. What we didn't know was that this bar only serves food one day a year (Thanksgiving) so it seemed like they weren't use to taking food orders. Regardless, we ordered the following to share. -Lobster Roll w/ Chips: This was fine. The lobster did taste fresh; however, just for my personal preference I enjoy my roll with a toasted bun and this was sandwiched between a room temperature. If you prefer your lobster roll cold this would fit the bill -Thanksgiving Pizza: The flavors of Turkey Day all in one perfect bite. It was cheese and the cranberry sauce gave it a nice sweetness. This is definitely a place to get a drink, but I'm glad that they served food during my visit.

Given the other options in town-I think this is THE place to be for Sunday football games. So many TVs upstairs and downstairs, and they have access to every game you could need. I think I liked sitting at the upstairs bar the most, but there was also some couch seating upstairs that seemed cozy. I was here for the Bills-Dolphins game and had the best time. It was my first time coming in, and I was a little intimidated walking in alone. Everyone was kind, and I enjoyed the selection of beers (and they have jello shots!) They do NOT have food here.

The backroom has darts, pool, and a pinball machine. We were served a seasoned, grilled fresh haddock with house-made pickled vegetables, pico de gallo and lime crema in a corn tortilla and Andy's house Lager. I thought the fish taco was okay and was probably my least favorite food item from the whole tour. Andy's house Lager was very smooth and I really enjoyed it. Our tour guide talked about the suspicious happenings and the history of Andy's Old Port Pub. Also, the tour guide talked about Harbor Fish Market which was right across from Andy's Old Port Pub.
