Bissell Brothers

The service was great once we got to the table, it was very busy so the wait was longer than usual, the meals all arrived cold and honestly boring. It was a fun visit but not for the food. Even the fries were cold. We did not mention anything to the waiter as it was very busy and did not want to wait any longer. The drink selection was good and served just like our food, cold

Always delicious beers, especially the hops. I fall in the Swish > Substance crowd (how is this even a debate?? No contest imo) But on this recent visit (from Texas) I was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing Swish Lite, and I have been known to get down with some blueberry Substance when available. *loved* their hop water! Next door to the superfun Cryptozoology Museum (way less hokey than I imagined). Large fee-based parking lot.

An excellent experience overall. The food is good if a little bit expensive - I wouldn’t say I was disappointed with it, but did expect a little more. The beers were excellent and the staff very friendly. A pleasant experience.

🌿 Good God, the Garden is gold! 💰 Although we're regulars at Bissell Brothers (up the hearts! 🌲❤️🫶), this was our first visit to The Garden, and you all must check it out! 🍽️ The Garden is Bissell's 21+ space👏, boasting a phenomenal food and beverage menu. It might just be one of the best restaurants in Maine—don’t sleep on it! 🌟 My husband started with the scallops, and the flavor combinations were out of this world! 🐚✨ We decided to share our main courses, and while the gnocchi was great (though there’s stiff competition in town for phenomenal pasta), the pork coppa steak was exceptional. 🍑🍖 The grilled radicchio, onions, and popcorn purée created the perfect trio. 🌽🧅 If you’re looking for an intimate evening out, this is the place to be! 🕯️🍷

Bissell Bros, an experience as good as I already knew their beers to be. As someone from the NYC area, I've only had Bissell Bros beer occasionally, so this was the first stop on my trip to Maine. Plenty of beers on tap and even more offerings in bottles and to-go cans. The food menu is limited for choices but all 3 items we ordered were top notch. I highly suggest adding fries to whatever you order, perfectly fried and seasoned. I also loved the fact that they had table service areas, but also a self seating area where you can order from the bar on your own. Even when this place was full (there was a concert across the street) I still got good service quickly.

I visit here every year when we vacation in the Portland area. This year I find that they have expanded... a store area next door has become a dedicated bar area. The original space has much more room to sit and eat. Still the same excellent beers with, perhaps, a bit more variety than my last visit... much appreciated!

Amazing indoor space with high seilings and great vibes with an artistic touch. Great beers and good service. Easy parking makes it nice!
