The Maine House 119 Water Street, Hallowell, ME 04347

"One of the best date-night locations in central Maine. Excellent cocktails and mocktails. Great food (outsourced from the Liberal Cup, next door.) I do wish they had a few more tables and service can be a bit slow at times. However, I highly recommend!"

"Bartender is dismissive. If you want to tie one on then stop here bc their drinks are straight alcohol. Seems odd to complain about a strong drink but you can't even taste the drink. It's literally alcohol only which is why these 2 completely different drinks tasted exactly the same. A cross between alcohol and orange peels which there may have just been waaay to mich orange flavor in them. I heard ppl go there to pregame before other bars and I see why. It would be decent if they actually took the time to make a decent cocktail instead of just inundating you with alcohol. I keep considering giving them another chance but at 15.00 a drink, I'm hesitate"

"Best cocktail bar around! Super friendly staff, great vibe, amazing cocktails and solid eats. Do not pass this place up if they are open. They even have live music from time to time!"

"We love stopping here! It’s a must for us every time we come to Maine! This year we had our little one with us and I’ve never felt so welcome anywhere with a baby. They brought him toys and talked to him and even the other patrons seemed…just not annoyed that there was a child. We’ve always loved stopping here and this visit really makes me want to come back. Also the drinks are insanely delicious, I’ve never ordered anything here I haven’t liked!"
