Things To Do
Novare Res Bier Cafe
Mollie brought Will here on his first trip to Portland! If you're interested in beer, this is the place to go. Large selection of domestic and international beers in a cozy spot.
Gilberts Chowder House
No-nonsense fresh seafood at reasonable prices. One of our absolute faves. Go ahead, get the bread bowl. You won't regret it!
Portland Head Light
Just across the bridge in Cape Elizabeth you'll find the Portland Head Lighthouse located in Fort Williams Park. Quintessential New England views.
Maine Maritime Museum
Located in the beautiful little town of Bath, Maine. While you're in town, you can also check out Bath Brewing Company and Byrnes Irish Pub.
Luke's Lobster Portland Pier
A little pricier than Gilbert's, but you'll get some of the freshest seafood in the city here. If you're not into lobster, Mollie highly recommends the broiled haddock *chef's kiss*
Oxbow Blending & Bottling
More beer! In the East End of the city, you'll find this eclectic taproom/beer hall with a variety of unique beers and ciders.
Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad
Take a short (approx. 35 minute) ride on the narrow gauge train along the Eastern Promenade of Casco Bay. Crew members provide historical information aboard the area. You can get off at the Fort Allen Park stop and get a bite at one of the many food trucks.
Standard Baking Co
Coffee and pastries, need we say more. Of the "morning bun" Chris Kervick said, "It's the best thing I've ever eaten." You be the judge.
