Reviews for Finback Alehouse in Bar Harbor, ME
One of our favorite lunch places in BH. This time we had the smashburger and the lobster stew. Both were excellent and the fries... were yummy. We had wanted to order fish and chips but they only serve them after 4pm. Seems like a staple dish that would beavailable at lunch. Read more
My wife had the jambalaya which was supposed to be over rice but I'm pretty sure it was quinoa. It was definitely not what we... were expecting and not to her (or my) appetite. I got the lobster scampi and unfortunately that was not what I was expectingeither. There were so many diced peppers, peas, and tomatoes it resembled a vegetable spaghetti. The scampi sauce didn't tastethe way I've come to know either. I also had the clam chowder which was good, very soupy rather than thicker. The service wasgood and I'm not saying the food was bad, just definitely not what we were hoping for / expecting when we ordered... and it wasover $100 with tip. Read more
While the rest of Bar Harbor closes at 9, this place is open late. Food service stops at 9, but people keep on coming in because... there bartender is brilliant! He knows all stuff about the town, all while making drinks and welcoming everyone as they walk in.We spent two nights there. Wednesday they have some of the only music around with open mic night. Definitely worth the stop fora night time drink. Read more

We loved it here! Cool vibes. The turkey sandwich was great and my husband liked his smash burger too. There was a new bartender... (I forget his name, sorry!) and he was awesome! Attentive and personable. Read more
Ordered some rosemary fries, mussels, and a pretzel along with a few cocktails. Everything had high quality ingredients and was... delicious. Great selection of craft beer to try, cocktails were interesting, well balanced and well made. Hats off to thebartender! Great place to stop for a drink, don't overlook the food, it is quite good!

Service was average at best, but food was amazing as was the atmosphere. We waited at the door for about 5 minutes before we... were acknowledged and placed on the wait. The wait was reasonable at about 30 minutes. Once we were sat it took a few minutesfor the server to stop by. From what I could tell they had 2 servers for the entire restaurant, and they handling the hostingalso. Food came reasonably quick. The burger was really good, and their waffle fries were amazing. I would suggest avoiding theturkey sandwich. The turkey was incredibly dry and there was not enough garnishment on the sandwich to mask how dry the meatwas. Read more
