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."
Customer Reviews
The service here is absolutely incredible, and we find ourselves coming back multiple times a year. No matter what changes, it always feels like home. While the menu is top-notch, we truly love the creativity of the bartenders. We often let them take the reins and recommend something, and they’ve never disappointed us. This is hands down our favorite spot in Portland, and we hope it stays that way for many years to come!
This cocktail bar is exceptional. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. The bartenders are skilled and knowledgeable, crafting drinks with precision and creativity. Every cocktail I tried was perfectly balanced, with high-quality ingredients and unique flavors that elevate the experience. The service is attentive without being intrusive, making it a great place for both a casual drink or a special night out. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates top-tier cocktails and a fantastic ambiance.
Went for oysters, shrimp and crab claws. Service was outstanding
Awesome small bar (1 upper level and 1 lower level bar). Great atmosphere with lore behind the name, two interesting men from the War of 1812.

For the discerning traveller.The devilled eggs were stunning.The best pretzel bites of my life.Cocktails are very on point.Staff were stellar.
Amazing vibes, this place has got. Great music! Couldn’t try much food as their kitchen had closed, but ordered pretzels which were so good.
Good atmosphere and cocktails. It was packed on a Saturday evening so we ended up in the “speakeasy” out back. It was fun and I’d recommend it.
