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."

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.
High end bar with good oysters and cocktails
Response from the owner:Thanks Doreen.
The speakeasy is hidden in the back with 2 ways to get to it. But I'm not gonna tell you where bc that's part of the fun lol The drinks were surprisingly very delicious even tho I didn't know what most of the ingredients were. The pretzel balls were on point, and the bartenders were actually very attentive considering how busy they were. Idk about the rest of the week, but expect to be packed in like sardines on a weekend. There's very limited seating, so go in with patience, a good attitude, and an expectation of standing for a bit. And it gets very loud in there, but you can still have a conversation with the person next to you. Go in with the right expectations and an adventurous attitude, and you'll have a great time.
Response from the owner:Thanks Amanda for appreciating what we are about and for taking the time to review us.
Very neat and creative cocktails. Tom yum punch!? Soup in a cocktail..bruh 10/10 go there if you like nice things
Response from the owner:Corey, thanks for trying the Tom Yum Punch. You get us!!
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.
Very nice hipster bar. Tight and cozy. Nice interior upstairs with real oil lamps. Great cocktails and raw bar.
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.
Great cocktails and snacks
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.
Very nice restaurant which has a great cocktail menu. Egg white whiskey sours were perfect. The deviled eggs we're right on the mark, the lobster roll was just okay. Oysters spot on, recommend!
Great environment and great food and drinks. Service was awesome too.
