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."

If you're in Portland, Maine and appreciate exceptional craft cocktails, Blyth & Burrows is an absolute must-visit. This was one of many times here, and I completely fall in love with the experience every single time. Drinks: Every cocktail is thoughtfully curated by incredibly talented mixologists. The flavors are creative, balanced, and unlike anything you'll find at an average cocktail bar. Every sip feels intentional—truly top-of-the-line and exquisite. Food: Absolutely delicious! The menu pairs perfectly with the drinks, making it easy to spend an entire evening here. Ambience: One of the things I loved most is that each seating area has its own unique vibe. Whether you're at the front bar, tucked away in the intimate back bar, or enjoying the outdoor seating, every space feels warm, inviting, and special. It's the perfect setting for a date night, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying an incredible cocktail. What really elevated the experience was the staff. Everyone was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their recommendations were spot-on and made the visit even more memorable. Blyth & Burrows delivers on every level—phenomenal drinks, delicious food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. I can't wait to come back!

great, great, GREAT cocktails and appetizers! Every drink we had here was phenomena. Amazing bartender and great staff too. Upon ordering some drinks the bartender came and told us a bit more information about the liquor. Would highly recommend and the place has a great vibe!

We sat in the speakeasy in the back and it was so much fun! The Bartender was great and served us some amazing cocktails. I got a drink with a fruit roll up on top and it was delicious! We watched a movie on the wall and had such a great time.

Enjoyed a quick 3-night trip to Portland last month and had such a nice time at B & B that it was the only place we repeated!
