  1. A

    Great Lost Bear

    Hands down the best place in town for a draft is this cozy wood-and-brick tavern, located 2 miles north of the Old Port. At last count, GLB had over 50 beers on tap, with 15 Maine microbrews, as well as New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts selections. Live music on weekends continues to draw the crowds.

    Lompoc Café

    This homey restaurant and bar hosts a variety of performers playing bluegrass, indie rock, jazz and folk on the patio. Step up to the bar and order a glass of Bar Harbor Real Ale. Blueberry ale may satisfy the intrepid.

    Bull Feeney’s

    Despite the mediocre food, Bull Feeney’s remains a local favorite for its central location, warm ambience (it spills over two floors, with a crackling fire in one room) and a garrulous crowd. Live bands play Thursday through Saturday.
