Forest Gardens - Cliff Island

Cash only, but they have an ATM. Food is delicious and more affordable than a lot of places in the area. Everyone behind the bar has always been very friendly, starting with Rick who retired a few years and carrying on with the new bartenders. I also love that it’s been around since the 1930s, as one of the first bars around to reopen after prohibition. It’s definitely a neighborhood gem!

A visit to an old stomping grounds to meet up with long time friends. A great place for a beer and burger. A stop with Father Piacentini after our 50th graduation. Great place to meet friends

This is the best local bar in the entire city. If you want to hang out with old men, watch sports games, and get a classic clam or hamburger with a side of fries, This is definitely a must go to.

Force gardens is the best down to earth bar in all of Portland Maine. This place reminds me of my my late grandmother and the best part is their extremely well priced food and classic pub fell. FYI they don't blast music so loud that you can't even hear yourself think it's actually a nice mellow place to grab a beer and meet people.

Dive bar atmosphere, great prices on the food, reminded me of NY street meat.
