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."

We went to the back bar through the alley and it was awesome. Super attentive, friendly, and skilled two man team at the bar. We also LOVED the pita, hummus, oysters, and shrimp cocktail. Felt wild to have such elevated food in such a speakeasy/alley bar vibe. Best of both worlds that is Portland ME. The smoked old fashioned, Negroni, and Sazerac riff were stand outs. Also love the old movies projected on the wall too FWIW.

Amazing drinks! Very interesting cocktails across the board, and the small bites were yummy as well. Bar was pretty full even at 5:30pm on a Friday

Hopped in for a bite to eat, but unfortunately we arrived too late. So we decided to get a drink and we enjoyed them both. The decor and vibe was super chill. We had heard good things about the food, but we had to go elsewhere since it was later at night.

Between the main bar and the speakeasy in the back, the vibes are great and the drinks are amazing. SBNTS and capesized are the faves. Highly recommend!

Lovely drinks and service, gorgeous ambience. Some nights can get really loud and crowded; if you're sensitive to crowds or noise, try a quieter night and/or sit outside. The drinks are always interesting and beautiful!
