The bar features warm wood and stone details, historic character, and a large roll-up door that opens directly over the water. Just outside, the covered pavilion provides a flexible space for dining, dancing, or simply enjoying the tide’s rhythm. Guests can gather by the fire, take in the sunset, or head inside for a lively private party. The bar is fully equipped for caterers, making it easy to create a seamless reception experience tailored to your vision. Once a working property rooted in Maine’s coastal heritage, it has been thoughtfully renovated to breathe new life into its structures while preserving their authentic character.
