"The captain of HMS Boxer, Commander Samuel Blyth, was killed early in the action by a cannonball; had he lived he might have defended his ship more desperately, but it is not probable with more success. It was his fate now to receive like courtesy at the hands of his enemy. His remains, in company with those of the brave Lieutenant William Burrows, were brought to Portland, where they were interred with military honours in Eastern Cemetery. It was a striking and affecting sight, to behold two gallant commanders, who had lately been arrayed in deadly hostility against each other, descending into one quiet grave, there to mingle their dust peacefully together."
This was the cocktail highlight of my Saturday night in Portland. Every drink I had was delicious, balanced, and intriguing. Generous portioning with the soft pretzels. Service was friendly and efficient with the perfect amount of the attentiveness. My only regret is that my liver doesn't have the robust constitution needed to taste my way through the whole drink menu in one sitting. It's for the best; I'll be back for more.
Stopped here for a quick drink after dinner and it was a highlight of our trip. We sat at the bar - super friendly and quick service. I had the five second frenchie, which the location bottles themselves so even the liquor is carbonated. Don’t miss this spot!!
Went in with my very talkative grandpa, and our bartender was super sweet and talked about the shared experience of travel with him. Once we left he commented on how nice they were. The drinks are good aswell, i personally got the “Big in Japan” which has a salty sweet taste to it, highly recommended!
Cool cocktail spot with a hidden speakeasy in the back. Great drinks. Great service. Quaint but not necessarily quiet. Very cool place I highly recommend.
Some of the most creative and delicious cocktails I’ve ever had. We got the Hefeweizen and SNBTS. They were both incredible and we regret not coming back after dinner.
