Brew the Coop Newish…read more(ca. 2019) Brewpub located in the heart of Downtown Rangeley that's located in a historic (ca. 1912) tavern. Not only do they sport their own brews, but they have a killer brick pizza oven to boot. The Good: *Huge outdoor space but oddly they don't have any coverings, like umbrellas, to keep you out of the sun. *Great views of the lake and people watching. *Service was friendly and pleasant (see below) *Nice selection of their own brews and other micro and macro brews on-tap, as well as fermented grapes, as well as a full bar. *Tater Kegs were delicious and a very unique item; if cheese and ham stuffed tater tots doesn't get you torqued up, then it's time to turn in your foodie card. *Bison burger was excellent and cooked perfectly medium. The concomitant brioche bun and bacon jam really sealed the deal, as well. The fries were pretty bomb, too. The Meh: *"No Pet Policy" is kinda wild, but kinda ubiquitous here in Rangeley. Which, to tell the truth, is sorta strange because it's usually rich people who like to schlep their dogs around and what do rich people like to do? Ski, boat, and fish--three things synonymous with Rangeley. Interesting, eh? *Interior isn't as big as it looks from the outside, but is still fairly ample. *They seemed overwhelmed on our visit and very short-staffed, as the food took a looooong time to come out. Fortunately, we were in vacation mode--and I had a beer in-hand--so it was all good on our end, but if you're looking for a quick meal, this might not be it. The Ugly: *The fact that they actually have to have a "Bee Policy" (see pic) is crazy. If I have to explain it to you, then you're part of the problem. *Their "website" (aka The Facebooks) is kinda funny place to be posting people with their dead deer carcasses. 0_o Conclusion: A couple of iffy deals here, but the food was fantastic--and that's what matters.

Stopped here with a group of 6 after a day of snowshoeing. We came in with a big appetite and…read moreFurbish took care of us! Food was good! Big menu with something for everyone. We shared appetizers (tots, truffle fries, pickle chips) and then some pizzas. Pizzas were creative and larger than expected! We had plenty of leftovers for midnight snacks. My favorite was the blueberry pork pizza. It was an unexpected pizza combo, but it works!!! Drink selection is vast! I had a canned blueberry sour and I was super pleased. I will say we asked for water when we ordered drinks, and again when we order meals and we never got them. I understand we were a bigger group, but it would have been a perfect experience if we could have gotten water with our meal. I liked this place! I'll come back the next time I'm in Rangeley and try more pizzas.

Renovated back in 2018, this charming family-friendly sports bar is located in the heart of Downtown Rangeley and serves up the usual cavalcade of Pub food, from fish and chips to burgers and even pizza. You know, the four food groups. :8) The Good: *Terrific service by our waitress, Miranda *Outdoor dining (not sure if it's dog-friendly) *Tons of TVs for sports viewing action *Free street parking and you can also park in the nearby lot to the park. *Very reasonable prices (we're from Cali so take that fwiw) *Great selection of local micro and macro brews on-tap *Onion Rings were worth the extra upcharge *Carissa ordered some kinda haddock chowder and couldn't stop raving about it. *Pastrami Reuben was outstanding. The Pastrami was piled high and sliced nice and thin; the bread (marbled rye ofc) was crispy and toasted perfectly; and it had just the right amount of Swiss, 1000 island, & sauerkraut to make it perfection. The Meh: *Interior is a little loud The Ugly: *Not the place to be if you're looking for health food. I mean, yeah, they got a few salads on the menu, but not much else beyond. Conclusion: Terrific pub fare and drinks in a family-friendly environment. Highly recommended.

The chef makes dressings, deserts and everything on site. There is an extensive bar with seasonal cocktails and a friendly bar tender. I had the Caprese salad and fish tacos, with a strawberry basil margarita. Everything was sublime. Great place to stop for a drink after a day on Rangeley Lake, you can get there by boat and dock at the Loon Lodge Inn dock. The decor is rustic and warm and there is a wonderful view of Rangeley Lake. Would definitely come back again.

It's been a long minute since I've written a YELP review, but I feel that places like this that…read moredon't get a lot of online reviews deserve a little effort when then deliver. I tend to lower my expectations a little bit when I find myself in smaller towns in rural areas, and this spot did a nice job exceeding them. My first time at the Black Pearl and I'll call it a fantastic addition to Rangeley, great space that felt well lit and comfy in a cold late winter night. Sat at the bar and had a really tasty blue cheese burger with an upgrade to risotto. Highlight of the night was the St. Paddy's special Guinness espresso martini. I had no plans for 3 of anything like this, but I had 3! Service was fantastic taboot!

More sauce on the fish would have been a 10/10. The blueberry margarita was great as well. the wings were okay, a little too overcooked and i would've liked to see some homemade ranch. The chicken parm was absolutely terrible unfortunately. Flavorless, the chicken was too thick, pasta was stale, and it was freezing cold. I haven't sent back a dish in over 5+ years and unfortunately I had to send the chicken parm back it was inedible. the vibe of the restaurant was not great as well. We overheard other tables talking about how poor their food was. for example "freezing cold chowder" "my burger is cold" "i could cook better at home" "i'm not paying for this". it definitely added a negative vibe to the experience. This place needs WORK and needs it asap. The wait times were okay, but the kitchen has a lot of work to do. I hope the new owners step it up, we love rangeley and come yearly, but for this place to survive they need passion and some blood sweat and tears to get this place up to par compared to the other restaurants.

When you enter you see a beautiful room, filled with yellow tables and chairs, and huge windows to see the rest of the mountain. It's warm, inviting, and great for groups. We were all impressed by how stunning the place looked as we walked in. I came with a group of 6 people after a morning of skiing. We were cold, hungry, and ready to eat. Nest more than met our expectations. We had an assortment of cocktails, cocoas, chilis, and sandwiches. I personally loved the Cubano sandwich. It is huge! I recommend sharing with a friend. It's not like a typical Cubano, but it's a fun twist. The bread was a perfect texture and the dijon mustard added great flavor. I was impressed by how well plated the food was for being on a ski mountain. Cocktails were good, but pricey. Hot cocoas were cheaper and more delicious! Overall the food was awesome, great for sharing, and reasonably priced. I don't ski at Saddleback often, but when I come back I will make a point to stop for lunch again. High recommend!

You can't drive here. You can ski or snowmobile. You're greeted by a stark wooden building with a truly green roof off the trails. Once you walk inside, it's a totally different story. Some is the most gorgeous mountain views in the East, with Rangeley Lake in the background, Mount Washington to the West, Sugarloaf Mountain to the North, and an upscale, modern and welcoming place. The beer selection is ample although only cans - kind of hard to get kegs 2,000 feet up - and the menu is quite extensive - from ramen to a delightful recreation of a Cuban Sandwich - an enormous serving. Definitely a great place to eat while T Saddleback.

There is comfortable table seating and seating at the bar in the bar area. They have a good selection of bottled beer. No draft beer. Bummer, eh! They really need to get draft beer. The menu has a small selection to choose from and it is a little expensive but the quality is really good and worth the price. Good burgers featuring, of course, the Errol Burger. Good stuff. They feature chicken, steak and sea food for dinner. Bring the family! Their specialty, at least from my perspective, is their pizza. Way good. I mean way, way good! You can build your own or choose one of their specialty pizzas. Oh yeah! I'd be remiss if I did not mention Big Al's wait staff. They are friendly, efficient and cute. Give your waitress a good tip! Big Al's is a good 4-star rating. The 5th star will come when they get draft beer.

The plan was to bowl, play arcade games, and maybe some pool. Bowling was fun- you pay by the person per hour, so it was $52 for four of us for 1 hour. The kids really wanted to play pool, but we learned that the area where the pool tables are located is 21and up. Disappointing. We then went over to the arcade area, which was closed down promptly at 7 PM for no particular reason. Also, again very disappointing. Why this area is not kept open for the evening is beyond me. Since there was really nothing else for us to do with the kids, we ended up leaving. With really nothing else to do in Rangely in the evening for anyone under the age of 21, we thought that Moose Alley was going to be our option. Apparently not, and they definitely are more of a bar/drinking establishment geared for adults.

Lots of locals there, which tells you it's consistently solid.
