The Great Lost Bear

Known for a very large tap list and eclectic atmosphere, this place is an institution. Order the buffalo wings or cheese steak , and wash it down with some Maine beer . FYI parking is a pain!!

Come here with an open mind and empty stomach, there are a huge variety of food and drink options. Try the nachos with a blueberry beer !

An icon in Portland for a couple of decades. Craft beer and great burgers is their thing. Many, many taps, if your into craft brew on draught , it's worth the trip to Portland to experience TGLB.

Just a giant bar with 80 taps on deck. Has a a parking lot . Good staff and food is infused with some of the beer . The prices were fair . Def would come back. Different nights have different events .

Awesome draught beer list . 80+ taps , more than 1/2 from Maine or New England. The pub grub menu has a vegetarian section, too.

Had the Slab - Crab - Slab...basically a grilled cheese with crab inside. Most excellent I must say. And craft beer selection to die for.

This place has a fantastic beer selection . I usually sit at the bar , and service can be slow but always friendly . Food is pub style, but wings & nachos are great!

Amazing selection of beers on tap and a menu to die for, this place is THE BEST hang out, pub , and restaurant with a fun Grateful Dead-like feel. 4 stars every time! (via Scoville) Read more

A Portland staple out of the old port . Beer selection is massive. Get the nachos or the hot mess. A personal favorite.

Great ???? stop in the area. For local beers and food. Small parking lot . Prices are really good.

Try "The substance" by Bissell brothers Brewery ... Hands down one of the best IPA 'S I've ever had. Even better than heady topper IMHO.

Huge menu and beer selection . Do a flight of whatever beers are on tap for a taste of all they have to offer.

A good cozy place, with solid pub food options. The cheesesteak 's cheese is made in-house.

Ask for the Cheesus Christ Superstar (secret burger , not on the menu ) a burger served with everything between two cheese sandwiches . For the faint of heart try the regular chesus (on the menu)

Highly recommend the Almighty Cheesus Burger ! It's a burger with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun !

Atmosphere is somewhat lacking but the Maine-focused tap list makes up for that. Food is average pub grub but you shouldn't come here for the food. It's all about the beer . Drink something Bissell.

The quesadillas are delicious. Great brews too!

Everything on the menu is awesome. Try the flight if you're a beer lover.

Mac and cheese is super yum but the cake in a jar should NOT be missed! Wings are also really awesome

Amazing spot for craft beer lovers. Extensive, local selection. Food is okay.

If the weather is nice for can dine and/or drink al fresco at their outdoor terrace .

A Portland and Maine institution. Great wings ... tons of local beers to try.

Yes, the burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches is as delicious as it sounds.

The buffalo mac n' cheese will knock your socks off. Also there are like a million beers on tap .

Buffalo sauce is great! However, the tuna melt down isn't what it seems. I would order something different next time. Great atmosphere though.

Rodeo burger is spot on. Would buy again 10/10

Probably the best buffalo cauliflower I've ever had.

The chili is awesome. Can’t go wrong with the wings .

Lots of beer choices . Great food. Big portions

Delish wings , but actual wing and drum connected---no Tyson frozen here. Also great beer .

I've had many friends get food poisioning here....but that dont stop me from stuffing my face!!!!!!

Great place to meet up with friends after class/work for happy hour .

A wide-ranging menu makes this a great place for groups and meet-ups

The Downeast cider , blue cheeseburger and pb&j burger .

Super selection of craft beers on tap . Something for everyone! Great burgers and yummy fries !

The Cheesus Christ Superstar is a burger stashed between two grilled cheese sandwiches . You will see the true face of god

Go for the burgers or chili and you won’t go wrong.

the thai tempora roll up is amazing! great veg menu and great beer selection , always my first stop in portland.

There's a burger between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and it was epic

Great food and superb beer selection

Maine's best Craft Beer selection of draft . If you love beer , this is an absolute must. Otherwise, you already know.
