Tap & Barrel Tavern

My husband and I enjoyed dinner and drinks here on a busy Friday night. The place was busy but a few outdoor spots with heaters were available on the deck and a table opened up inside for us as well. It was a very cozy and fun atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and gave great drink and food recommendation. The tap burger and the scallops with street corn were both delicious! The bourbon mule cocktail was great too. The bartender recommended a beer to my husband based on what he likes and he loved that as well. Felt like we found a gem in bar harbor and will absolutely be back! Highly recommend!

THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE!! the food, the service, omg the food! The scallops corn I will be thinking about for the rest of my life. Josh was so welcoming and friendly, and the chef takes pride in his dishes! Everything was delicious. Lobster grilled cheese was so fresh, and the fish sandwich was so tasty! The fries were homemade, lightly fried & perfectly salted. Hardly saw this place talked about when looking for food, it didnt dissapoint. Go here away from the tourist traps.

SO incredible, this might just be our new favorite spot in Bar Harbor!! the sour beer selection is truly unmatched, & the food was delicious. I got the Ditalini & Cheese, and my husband got the Kimchi burger, and we both talked about how good the food was here the rest of our trip. fun sports bar vibe, and the bartenders were all upbeat & nice. loved watching a Bruins game here & hanging out at the bar.

Dog friendly patio! Tina, our server, was phenomenal & kind. The food is AMAZING. It beats out several of the meals we have had in large cities. It’s a must for anyone in bar harbor.

When traveling, very rarely do I return to a restaurant for a second meal… let alone the exact same meal. My husband and I were visiting Bar Harbor, looking for a casual lunch spot. Tap & Barrel looked like more of a drink place, that happened to have food. But let me tell you, the food deserves to be in the spotlight! They advertise “largest bourbon list North Portland”, but they don’t advertise “best burger and fries North of Portland”. Their Big Tap Burger and Parmesan Fries were truly outstanding. Perfect bun, perfectly cooked burger, with amazing special sauce, all next to hand cut fries with Parmesan, thyme, and a dash of lemon. Insanely good quality. Browse the menu, and you’ll quickly pick up on that it was crafted by a chef who has an appreciation for the art of food. If you’re in
