Will be traveling for work; and I had heard there was a neat B&B in the Bangor area- big fireplace in the lobby... but don't know the name of it- anyone out there that might know?

anyone?

Look through here and see it you see it. I don't know it but would start my search on sites that show you B & B in Bangor.

Hello. The only inn that I can think of is the Lucerne Inn in Lucerne-in-Maine which is a 15 minute drive from downtown Bangor south on Route 1A. The setting is gorgeous overlooking the lake. Other than that, there are the familiar chains close to the mall. You might try the Bangor Chamber of Commerce or the Maine Innkeepers Assoc. As I recall, there used to be a small, historic hotel downtown. Have a nice trip - the University of Maine in Orono is closeby if you are looking for music, etc. and Acadia National Park is a little more than an hour.

i live just outside bangor and really don't know where you are speaking of. however, i found this place and think it looks quite nice. it is about 15 mins west of downtown.

none of iloveinns b&b's are actually anywhere near bangor.
the web site for the inn is www.lucerneinn.com this is a very nice place but not a b&b.

a couple restaurant ideas. captain nick's near the airport is good. the seadog brewing company near the river downtown is good and really fun on their deck in the summer months. also downtown is thistle's. and a new texas roadhouse near the mall.
