    Beer list

    The kings head is a great spot on the wharf in Portland great beer selection great food tried brunch for the first time was going to go with the biscuits and gravy but the server recommended the chicken and waffles and boy was she right the waffles were amazing the star of the show chicken was good the eggs were perfectly poached but those waffles I can still dream about them !

    Steak and cheese w/out bread + salad

    We visited on a Saturday and the restaurant was fairly empty. We were surprised because it was quite busy in Portland. The restaurant itself has really high ceilings making it feel open and even emptier than it was. The food was extraordinary. I had the steak and cheese. I believe they used the same meat that's used in the short rib tacos. The steak practically melts in your mouth. The salad was fresh and the pickles were delicious! My husband loved the tacos.

    Deliciousness overload!! Do get the steak tacos, the meat was so juicy and tender. Too bad they ran out of most of the beer I was ordering but I'll come back another night for that. Server was great and attentive. Kind of like the brick wall, next to the water place. TIP- it's in a alley by the parking lot , we almost missed it twice while walking there.

    Stopped in for a beer and a snack. Staff is super friendly, clam chowder was delicious and local beers on tap. Would recommend and would return!

    Fun little pub with really great food. They have a large bar and then another room with lots of seating. We got a table for 10 people and we had plenty of room. The service was really great. They don't split the bill if it's over 6 people so just make sure you know that. They have so many beers on tap and ciders as well. The drinks are good too. I got the burger and it was really great. Everyone liked their food! A fun spot!

    I came here with my boyfriend on a road trip to Maine. We love this place. Everything we ordered was good. He liked the lamb burger and the mussels are definitely one of the best I've ever had. The haddock chowder is also one of the best in Maine. It's not common for us to find a Scotch egg anywhere near us, so it was nice to finally get to order and taste one. And it was delicious. The atmosphere is really cool with the old building brickwork, rustic bar, etc. It's also right by the water, which is neat. The beer list is pretty long with a good selection of different types of beer. The service was good. We had a great time.

    Despite visiting here a few times, I somehow have not posted a review after these visits. It's been…read morequite the mainstay bar/pub in the Old Port for quite a long while now since 1980. It has old school vibes when you step inside with plenty of exposed brick walls and art/decor on many of the walls too. As well as quite a few TVs like you'd expect most bars/pubs to have. It certainly has a vibe overall where I can understand those who live nearby would make it their go-to choice for a beer or a bite to eat by themselves or with friends or to catch a game on the TVs. The visits me and my wife have had including bringing out of state family to visit have been good service wise with minimal complaints but at times waits for food have been longer than expected even when restaurant was not busy. Could use some improvement but minimal. Food wise I have had a burger from them, their mac n cheese, as well as some other sandwiches. I would kind of classify the food in a similar way as the service. It is good but doesn't leave me wowed or thinking I need to return for the meal. It's solid for bar/pub food. If you set your expectations in that manner, I think you will leave quite pleased. A great spot to pop in from commercial street after a day of walking around for a cold drink and a bite to eat.

    I live in Denver so this entire meal was an unusual treat. Maybe I am not the best judge for this…read moretype of fare, but I do know when something tastes amazing. The bun was toasted to perfection and the lobster was fresh. I absolutely love beer cheese and pretzels and - again - have a hard time finding them in Denver. These were PERFECT. Service was great, too!
