At tucked-away Novare Res Bier Café, choose from some three dozen rotating drafts and about 500 bottled brews. Relax on an expansive deck, munch on antipasti, or share a meat-and-cheese plate. Maine craft beers occupy at least eight of the taps at any given time, and the rest span the globe, with an emphasis on Belgian and Trappist ales.

Scandinavian-inspired dishes and serious craft cocktails drive this hip locale that also offers excellent charcuterie and seafood boards. If it's free, grab a seat in the intimate alpine-style hut, off to the side of the main room. And don't miss the excellent happy hour, weekdays 1–6.

This hip, craft cocktail–centric hole-in-the-wall has tons of charm and a speakeasy vibe (indeed, there's no sign on the door). Sip a dainty glass of potent French absinthe, or one of the many creative concoctions on the ever-changing cocktail list. Rotating bar snacks include things like house meatballs, turmeric pickles, and candied popcorn with bacon butter and cayenne pepper. Once named "The Bearded Lady's Jewel Box," the bar's bearded owner has been known don beautiful dresses. Check out the massive and ornate, hand-painted mural on the wall that pays homage to that, depicting some elegant bearded ladies

Sophisticated and blessed with stunning views of the city and waterfront, Luna has plenty to recommend as a spot to grab drinks before or after an evening stroll around the city. Perched atop the Canopy by Hilton Portland Waterfront, its talented bar staff pour creative cocktails and the kitchen turns out enough filling small plates to snack on or make a dinner out of. (The eclectic menu spotlights petite lobster rolls; tuna tataki; Korean BBQ beef sliders; and desserts like ricotta lavender fritters.)

In a Victorian-era bank building with arched windows overlooking an Old Port square, this stylish bar and lounge packs in the late-night crowd. It has quite a list of cocktails, many of which use house-infused liquors—try the chili tequila. Bluegrass and funk bands play on Thursday, and there's a DJ on Saturday. Their Latin American cuisine is a winner, too; at night you can order lighter fare like a poblano cheeseburger with yam fries, as well as entrées like the braised brisket enchilada. On weekends, brunch is served 10–3, and the kitchen stays open until 10:30 pm.

Opened in 1980 under Alan Eames, Three Dollar Deweys was reputed to be the very first place in town to pour a pint. The cozy, brick-lined bar changed hands a number of times since then—including ownership by famed actor Judd Nelson—and even closed once in 2018, only to be reopened again under the current owner. The tap lines have now been extended to 36 and eats like pizza, and nachos have been added to the menu.

The old-fashioned soda fountain gets a modern update at Vena's Fizz House, where flavors like cucumber mint, chocolate-cherry cordial, and frothy blood orange go into delicious, fizzy "mocktails," while the cocktails feature artisanal ingredients such as Maine pine bitters, saffron syrup, and ghost pepper extract. Just as interesting as the beverages is the space itself; it's housed in a beautifully renovated church.
