The Liberal Cup

Very hit and miss... Was in the area for a work trip, love trying local places when I travel. Came in a little before 7PM on a Wednesday evening, got seated fairly quickly... no issue there. Kind of dark inside, but the setup and decor were nice. My server was amazing, and the vibe from the staff as a whole was upbeat. Beer selection was good and I enjoyed my choices. I was relaxing a bit and snacking on my Appetizer, so I was in there about 15 minutes before I ordered my meal. I ordered the flat iron steak special, and it was the most disappointing part of the experience. Either it was one of the toughest steaks ever cooked, or I was given the dullest knife ever made. Flavor was fine, but it wasn't really enjoyable and I left most of it. The appetizer and sides were good, but the steak w

The Liberal Cup is a lively spot in Hallowell known for good pub food and a bustling atmosphere. The live music brings great energy, but it can get much too loud for a relaxing meal if you prefer quieter settings. The food was tasty, but service left a bit to be desired, it was just okay and not as attentive as I would have liked. If you’re looking for a happening place with music and energetic vibes, this is worth a try, but be prepared for the volume.

Wow this place is so good. We had a waiter named conner and he must be a culinary wizard with the chefs and cooks. His recommendations on all were so great. He also was a good waiter. Would recommend this place totally worth it. We had fish and chips and the fish was so big. Many photos for scale and the haddock Napoleon makes you want to sell your car and eat here for a year.

We had a reservation for six of us at 6p and, although they weren't able to seat us until 6:20p, they made up for this with excellent food and drinks, amazing service, and speedy food delivery (we had a 7:30p play reservation across the street). Our waitress was nothing short of top notch. We enjoy this restaurant so much - could be our new favorite place!

Appearance wise walking in its a pretty big building. Looking from the outside it would seem much smaller but actually going inside is clearly much bigger. There is plenty of seating, one section then another section near the bar, including the bar itself then outside seating. It's big enough so I imagine it's wheelchair accessible as well. The establishment is very maintained and clean, including the bathroom. I think the sink is nice decor, it's almost like a small waterfall sink. Kinda cute. The bathroom is very small but clean. The decor for the rest of the building could use more work but I did think the little area for the dart board was neat, maybe a pool table in the future would be a neat concept too. Just a suggestion. They have a full bar, they are a brewery, has two tv's in the
