Commander Samuel Blyth and Lt. William Burrows

"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."

This is a must stop if visiting by land or by sea. The food and service desires nothing. You will not be disappointed. A rare find was the reuben hotdog, it is an experience you must have.

We stumbled upon this gem while on a walkabout during our cruise. We came here on a mission to find a lobster rolls but left forever changed after experiencing the Reuben Hotdog. The Ahoy, Kernel was a gorgeous and refreshing compliment to our meal. Great service! Highly recommend!

Really cool drink spot all around! We ended up visiting on back to back days because we enjoyed it so much! The Tom Yum drink is one I'll be thinking about for quite a while!! Can't go wrong with whatever you order!

One of my Favorite nautical themed bars in the Old Port. True craft cocktails are made by seasoned Pros! Very attentive bartenders who know their craft. Had an Old Fashioned and then the Amazing Tom Thumb Cocktail.

When you want a cocktail in Portland, this is the place to go. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and a really cool spot. P.S. — don’t forget to check the bookshelf. 🤷🏻‍♂️🍸

If you sneak around back, down a very cool hidden alley. A speakeasy awaits you with interesting, fun and delicious cocktails. A must visit in Portland.

Stopped by for a nightcap.. had their Ahoy Kernel - a very odd taste but not in a bad way.. the cocktail flavors play with your head a little bit.. but i liked it.. our party also had a few other cocktails and all of us were somewhat surprised by what our cocktails tasted like. Definitely recommend trying this place.

The drink menu here is creative and innovative, featuring many ingredients I’d never heard of but was glad to learn about. Our server Rachel was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions with ease. She sensed that what I truly wanted wasn’t even on the menu, and walked me through ordering something I didn’t even know I wanted (spoiler: it was perfect). The drinks were delicious, creative, and truly interesting- three things that are hard to pull off all at once. I also really enjoyed the ambiance, which felt brooding and sophisticated but also comfortable and authentic. One more thing of note- as I was waiting for an uber outside, I saw a gentleman down on his luck wander up to the outside of the restaurant. An employee came out, handed him a soda, and asked how his night had been. She listened to him as he talked about his recent troubles, and seemed to genuinely care about what he had to say. Blyth and Burrows obviously hires caring, lovely staff, who are just as kind and helpful to paying customers as struggling locals. I hope that upper management recognizes what a great team they have here. Please keep up the good work.
