"The captain of HMS Boxer, Commander Samuel Blyth, was killed early in the action by a cannonball; had he lived he might have defended his ship more desperately, but it is not probable with more success. It was his fate now to receive like courtesy at the hands of his enemy. His remains, in company with those of the brave Lieutenant William Burrows, were brought to Portland, where they were interred with military honours in Eastern Cemetery. It was a striking and affecting sight, to behold two gallant commanders, who had lately been arrayed in deadly hostility against each other, descending into one quiet grave, there to mingle their dust peacefully together."
Cool cocktail spot with a hidden speakeasy in the back. Great drinks. Great service. Quaint but not necessarily quiet. Very cool place I highly recommend.
Some of the most creative and delicious cocktails I’ve ever had. We got the Hefeweizen and SNBTS. They were both incredible and we regret not coming back after dinner.
Cool spot with some amazing drinks and food. Our party had several of their signature drinks and appetizers. Highly recommend as everything we had was great! Service was top notch too
Phenomenal drinks, atmosphere and service. Hard to hit all 3 and they’ve got it. Wish I came earlier in the day while they were serving food but will definitely circle back on my next visit to Portland!
Stopped in for a late night cocktail and were in awe. The various crafted drinks were excellent as were the suggestions by the serving staff. A great finale to any evening!
Quaint, creative gem for drinks In Portland. Stopped here for after dinner drinks and glad we did! Super creative, fun beverage selection, quick service and reasonable prices. Noticed and loved how the bartenders were very meticulous about their drink preparations and really cared about how the end production looked and tasted. Highly recommend
Had some fantastic cocktails here. Lots of really unique and interesting options. Seems like Wednesday is the day to go - they have a special punch and some great deals on the raw bar. We walked in and got a seat around 4:45 but it definitely seemed like there was a good wait later on.
