The Great Lost Bear

Wow this place is a beauty. Cabin vibes on steroids. Big boy mason jars full of beer!! C’mon. I know it ain’t Iowa, must be heaven. All the food looked incredible. The Guinness in mason jar vessel was excellent. I found a home at the Great Lost Bear. Stoked to return.

A Portland classic serving worthy brewpub food and an ample selection of beer. On this occasion orderer the wings which came out as a generous serving of actual full wings. The salt and vingar flavor was tangy and unique.

We flew into town and were so hungry! We did a quick search from "places to eat near me" and the Great Lost Bear was one of the results. It didn't look like much from the outside, but the inside was very clean and had a great atmosphere! We ordered wings, their version of fries (more like a flat slab of potato), a hamburger, and a melt. The wings were so good! Be aware that the 2 pound serving size is A LOT of chicken wings! We were very impressed with the large serving sizes of everything. The hamburger and the melt were also enjoyable (although I could've used some more sauce on the melt). Our server, Ryan, was quick, efficient, and friendly. Thank you for a great first experience in Maine!

We came in for a mid-day Saturday meal and were promptly seated outside. However, nobody came to our table for over 20 minutes to take our order. We had to go inside and ask someone to serve us. The food was okay, I’ve had both better and worse.

What a great stop! They had a good variety of beers and food. The PB & J Bird sandwich was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I was skeptical about the flavors, but it worked so well and had just the right amount of heat. Ella was a thorough and attentive server!
