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."

Amazing cocktails but small menu. All day happy hours in Wednesday is a great deal.
Great cocktails and comfortable atmosphere, we got some oysters to tag along with the drinks and it was well worth it. Definitely worth a visit.
$1 Oysters on Wednesdays?! Um, yes...!

And the best oyster shooters I've ever had - plus the drinks here are creative and on point.
Most unique but also just all around best cocktails I had in Portland! That Tom Yum drink is truly mind blowing. The oyster shots are also outstanding.if you see a pho cocktail on there in the future just know that was inspired by me!
Such a fun little place to find. People were walking out from it and told us we should check out the door down the alley. Very happy we followed the advice of those strangers.
I asked for a mocktail, dealers choice and I got a very yummy drink and the other two drinks my friends got were delicious also.
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.
Walking in just like that and had best drinks and believe me .. let Brandon make u drinks.. just the best
Great service and drinks!
Delicious cocktails!
