Commander Samuel Blyth and Lt. William Burrows
"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."
Customer Reviews
Friendly bartender, cool atmosphere.
Interesting drinks. Didn’t eat so cant comment on food. Cool space.
Interesting little place to pop in for great drinks!
Didn’t try the food but the cocktails were amazing and the atmosphere is top notch for a cocktail bar!
There was a 15-minute wait to get in due to it being so popular, but once in, it was amazing. Really cosy atmosphere with a very cool vibe. Sat at the main bar, it was great to watch the bartender creating the cocktails, too. She was really engaging and friendly, taking the time to make people feel welcome. I had the Tom Yum Punch first, which, for me, was equally bizarre and delicious. My stand-out favourite! It's a must try for any cocktail enthusiast. The ice cube in the drink was stamped/branded too, which was a nice touch.The snacks were really good, too.I'd say the prices were reasonable and reflective of the excellent quality.Highly recommend 👌
To die for atmosphere! It's like being back in the 1920's. We sat at the upstairs bar, they have 2 bars, and the drinks are fantastic! Atmosphere and interior design are amazing. This bar is not huge but the memorable experience definitely stands out as one of the better bars in Portland that I will definitely be going back to. Get there early because this place rocks and is extremely busy.
Atmosphere is very chill, great food, and the mixologist was AMAZING! Highly recommend.
The service here is absolutely incredible, and we find ourselves coming back multiple times a year. No matter what changes, it always feels like home. While the menu is top-notch, we truly love the creativity of the bartenders. We often let them take the reins and recommend something, and they’ve never disappointed us. This is hands down our favorite spot in Portland, and we hope it stays that way for many years to come!
This cocktail bar is exceptional. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. The bartenders are skilled and knowledgeable, crafting drinks with precision and creativity. Every cocktail I tried was perfectly balanced, with high-quality ingredients and unique flavors that elevate the experience. The service is attentive without being intrusive, making it a great place for both a casual drink or a special night out. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates top-tier cocktails and a fantastic ambiance.
Went for oysters, shrimp and crab claws. Service was outstanding
Awesome small bar (1 upper level and 1 lower level bar). Great atmosphere with lore behind the name, two interesting men from the War of 1812.
The Ship Captain Crew cocktail was stellar!
