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."

Cool place with amazing drinks and cocktails! We make this a stop every time we are in town. Great oysters too!
The best bar in Portland
Ahoy. Get ye lubber hide on board, and now. Ye may know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, ye'll go to it laughing. Nautical themed, not a stretch in Portland, what with Port being in the name and all. But Yar. Or Argh. Take your pick, there's no sailor accent shaming here, you sailor you friend. But there's a very very solid cocktail program and a clarified Mai Tai on the menu that'd make Trader Vic, who may or may not have been a sailor, proud. Thar means are sane, thar motive and object mad. But not mad mad, but mad good.
That's what Ahab may have said, anyway. And he was an old tar, or salt, for sure.

If you want to change up your Portland Dinner Plans, look no further that Blyth & Burrows. My wife and I say in the "shop" looking towards the restaurant.. although tight, it was intimate a made the night a little more spontaneous. We enjoyed the Deviled Egg, Puff Pastry dish (forget the name), and the Charred (superb oyster dish).
The complexity of ingredients and flavor profiles sent my buds for a ride. Portions were small but packed a punch. The cocktails were also well crafted and deliberate. We will absolutely be back next year.

Great service and drinks!
Delicious cocktails!
Our bartender was super friendly & knowledgeable and the drinks were great!
On the recommendation of our food tour guide, my husband and I stopped here for cocktails a few hours before having dinner at Papi just a couple doors down. We didn't have a reservation and it was about 4:00 pm on a Sunday, we were able to be seated immediately in the outdoor area. We ordered the homemade pretzels with mustard and beer cheese and the Jonah crab to enjoy with our cocktails. Both were fantastic. I had a cocktail called Capeside, which was a clarified, tequila-based cocktail garnished with a bruleed banana (AMAZING) and my husband had the Tom Yum Punch clarified cocktail and we were both shocked by how much it tasted like Tom Yum soup. It was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were unique, memorable, and delivered on big flavors. We would happily return!
Super cool place! We were a larger group and they let us make a reservation so we could all sit together in the parlor for drinks. Our waitress was super knowledgeable about the drinks and gave great recommendations so everyone was able to find something they enjoyed! We will definitely come back!
The place is very cozy, really liked the atmosphere and the vibe. Drinks are a little pricey, but worth the overall experience once in a while. Haven’t tried any food.
I'm not a bar person so the loud music was not for me, but the owner was amazing and kept the kitchen open for us when we got there late. The hosin meatballs and fresh hot pretzel bites were wonderful. I made them into sliders! My son loved the crab claws and they were a great price. It was a great meal and I'm so glad we went there.
