“ Small friendly local pub. Mixed crowd of patrons that are social. Basic beers and cocktails, cheap and tasty food (Handmade pizza only 7). Outdoor beer garden with cornhole and tables. ”
“ Stopped here while we’re looking for some things to do in Portland before the day got going. Super cool little local pub with friendly staff and super quick service. Plenty of drink options and great atmosphere inside as well as a large outdoor deck if the weather is nice. Highly recommend if you’ve got some free time on your hands and want to check out a local’s place. ”
“ My husband grew up on Munjoy Hill. We were driving around on a rainy Saturday and decided to pop in here. The bartender was super friendly and everyone in the bar treated us like family. Great little neighborhood spot! ”
“ This place reminded me of my hometown, a cool little hole in the wall that opens up into a very cozy bar with friendly service and locals who are happy to strike up conversation with you. We enjoyed meeting the owner and just chatting. The drinks here are strong and well poured. In the evening, they have music on the back deck. ”
“ The food is amazing! It's beautiful in there. You can sit and look out over the ocean and look at Portland. It's very clean. I recommend trying the haddock bites. There's a picture that I put up. Very tasty and cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend it ”
“ Megan made me feel at home. The patrons were friendly and I don't know if they serve food normally (it was near closing time) but the chicken and mac n cheese were an awesome way to finish the evening! If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'm definitely stopping in. ”
“ Munjoy Hill Tavern was the perfect dive bar we were in search of in Portland. We came in later on a Friday night and were able to sit at the bar and enjoy 3 Miller High Life, something every dive should have. The bartender was friendly and let us take over the TouchTunes, to which we discovered we had 50 credits. Needless to say we took full advantage. The bar also has live music on other nights and a full back patio deck. Overall, great Portland dive! ”
“ Very cool place! Spent a week in Portland and this ended up being a favorite. Returned multiple times during my stay. Megan, Tiana, & Tanya were great! All of the regular patrons are very friendly and will strike up a conversation with anyone. Also met the owner! Really great spot with great drinks at the best price. A real gem. ”
