"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 a very different experience but a delightful one. The food was delicious and unique. The drinks were inspired and the staff were the best. Very attentive and friendly. An awesome night
This is a true cocktail bar. Not really a place for a meal, unless you want oysters. Then, they are definitely your place. The cocktails are super intricate. Its not my style or palate, but my spouse was really pleased. Have you had a fishy cocktail? Maybe you should. Not me. But maybe YOU should try it.
Caleb can create the adult beverage of choice, a mixologist with skills! Charred oysters and pretzel bites were on point. Best winter trip ever!
Response from the owner:Matthew, thanks for taking the time to review us and mentioning Caleb. He’s got skills for sure. So glad you got to enjoy your trip to Portland.
I almost don't want to say how amazing this speak easy was because I went to get a seat at the bar again next time I'm in town. Best cocktail I've ever had.
The drinks are unreal. They taste exactly like they say which is surprising because some of them are savory dishes and it resemblance in uncanny without feeling like you're eating a meal.
Had an amazing snack and a couple drinks. Loved the atmosphere. They have a great cocktail program and the grilled oysters were to die for. Highly recommend stopping in if you are ever in the area.
There are 3 different spaces within the bar. We were walked back to the “speakeasy” part and the experience was amazing. Place is always packed, for good reasons! If you’re a cocktail person, this is a MUST.
