It was blaring and our little one had to leave to the parking lot. The manager did apologize but we had to take our food to go, now 80 minutes into the visit. The karaoke staff was obnoxious, they even turned the music up after we complained and our son was crying. Don't sit little ones next to the speakers and crank them with no warning. There was nothing done to reduce the bill or compensate, the manager said selling drinks was a priority to balance with family comfort. The sad part is we loved mad kat. This was supposed to be a special night. Instead it was the first meal I've gone for in Maine where I didn't leave a tip in ten years. Oh well, I can see why you guys folded last time while I eat my stale sidewinders at home.

It was busy and my friends were already seated and happily enjoying their favorite libations. The menu has lots of pizza, sandwich, salad, and even calzone options. A couple of us had (Morningstar) veggie burgers, another two had sandwiches, and one person ordered a calzone. The veggie burger was good, the fries were amazing, and the calzone was larger than expected, beautifully baked, and oozed delicious-looking cheese when cut. It must have been good as well as the lucky person who ordered it ate the entire thing!! We even had a fantastic waitress who checked in on us regularly and made sure we were happy every step of the way. I am a believer - Mad Kat's is five stars all the way!

Low quality drinks and service, bad atmosphere, many better options in the area. Its a shame.read more

This place is a great playground for any age from elementary school age to retirement folks there is a little something for everyone. The men at the counter were friendly and informative. They also were kind enough to keep an eye on the bowling lanes for us as we awaited the other party guests. Walked the gaming area with my grandson and came up with a pregame plan of what games to play when everyone arrived. Have to admit, I'm a sucker for Skee ball Prices are actually reasonable, where else can you get a large cheese pizza for $15? The lanes are $50 for an hour including all shoes for each player. Some games are $1.00 others are more players choice. In the bar area there are pool tables and corn hole lanes set up. Mini golf is available weather permitting. Today is another rain soaker so not today for us. My 9 yo grandson is having the time of his life, for us, that is priceless. Recommend for parties or a place to come with friend s to chill and play some games.

(is what we screamed as we were walking up the stairs) Notes: * Right above Ipanema's, I believe another party -- but more dancy -- bar. * This is where early to mid 20s year olds get their party on. * A friend of a friend had a whole history lesson for us of why this place is called The Reverend Noble Pub. There's an actual history here, but unfortunately, I cannot remember. He had helped named the pub and thus, our trip to the party bar to check it out. * I thought service was quick. * It's a long narrow space. The bar flushed to one side, high tables and chairs to the other. We had several awkward instances of people trying to pass ("oh you're going left, oh right, oh oh"). * I'm assuming this place fulfills its mission, just not something I'd be down for on any other night.

I am pretty amazed that I am the very first to review the Reverend Noble! Affectionately referred…read moreto as "the Rev," this bar is quickly becoming my favorite watering hole in Bangor. Located upstairs from Ipanema's, the space consists of one long bar and a bunch of tables around the perimeter. Service has always been pleasant and attentive. The only downside about the space is that it tends to get pretty toasty, but luckily the windows on both ends open, allowing for some cross ventilation. I usually order beer or cider (I prefer Downeast), but last night we tried a flaming Volcano bowl, which knocks the socks off those sugary Scorpion bowls and their ilk found elsewhere. Mixed drinks also seem to be generously poured, but don't expect anything terribly out of the ordinary. An added bonus is that you can order tasty snacks from Ipanema's kitchen. I've sampled their flavorful jerk wings and crispy coconut shrimp - both were satisfying, though not life-changing. They also offer a mug club (you earn your mug by trying every beer on their extensive list). Definitely worth a stop on any tour of Bangor's growing downtown drinking scene or as a destination for a chill night of catching up with old friends! I'll be back.

But the beer wasn't quite what I was hoping that it would be. I had the Tiger Style Fierce Pale Ale and thought it was just fair. Main thing was I didn't find it all that memorable and it was just hard to get into. Flavor features with this beer are juicy, citrusy, hoppy and sweet. It also has a smooth body to it. Unfortunately I wish I could have gotten into it more and maybe the pale ale wasn't the best choice here but alas that is how it all shook out.

We started with plantain and sweet potato fritters with a mango salsa that was to die for. Next came pork belly tacos and a mushroom and brie flatbread. Both knocked our socks off.

All in all it was a great experience and being that it is so close, we will go back soon.
