Novare Res Bier Cafe

This bar rocks! Extensive draft and bottle list. Bar specialized in european beers . Very few places match this caliber of beer bar and the selection is da bomb!

Perhaps the best beer bar in Maine (which says a lot!). Tap-list is unreal - so well balanced between quality locals and obscure, though well curated, imports.

Simply the best beer bar in the state of Maine. No kitchen, so eat a solid meal before you go, and maybe arrange to walk or get a sober driver as the incomparable beer list has many high octanes

This is one of the few bars in Portland where I recommend NOT trying a local beer but instead learning about some of the amazing ones they have from around the world.

We came hungry which was a mistake, this joint is definitely beer-centric with some grub thrown in. That said, great vibes, friendly bar staff and more beer options than you can handle.

A recommendation from a beer lover friend. Not too hard to find but had an underground feel. Great outdoor space & beer list w/ Belgians. Not my fave since I’m a cocktail gal & they have none. :(

Cool, Belgian-inspired international beer bar. Did I get that right? Great place to sample some amazing beer and nerd out with the bartender about great beer .

an exhaustive beer selection for even the most discerning beer snob. a must-visit in Portland

Interesting crowd and knowledgable bartenders . Cellar like inside but large space . Impressive Belgian Beer/Local selection with appropriate glassware . Bites- cheeses , wild boar salami , lobster roll

Directions to Novare: Fly to the Portland (PWM). Get a taxi . Enjoy a big beer or two. Big = 22 oz+, 9%+. Best in Portland, 2nd best in Maine. Best is Ebenezer's Pub Lovell, Maine.

Tucked into the basement level of a back alley, this place feels like the best kind of secret. Order something local at the bar , then head to the back room (yep, there's a back room).

The quintessential beer bar in downtown Portland. Bottle list is off the hook, but check out the taps first. Outdoor deck during the summer is where to be!

Amazing beer (draft and rate bottle) selection, knowledgeable staff , expansive outdoor patio , and overall good vibes.

This is a great place with awesome people and really tasty beers . Only service dogs allowed

One of the best places in town for a beer . Great staff . Huge inventory of rare bottles as well as an exceptional draught offering.

A beer lovers must-do in a city for beer lovers. Open the menu, point to something new and enjoy. Share with your trust network here: http://bit.ly/19XsRgw

By far the largest selection of beer in Portland. Stop in to try beers you've never heard of and some of your favorite hard-to-find brews!

Awesome low key bar with great beer selections both foreign and domestic. If you love beer and are in Portland, definitely think you need to check this place out

It’s a rustic , brick-walled beer hall with 25 rotating taps, two hand pumps, and over 500 bottled beers . Offering range from popular American craft brews . - © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc

One of the few, select American bars that has bottles of Cantillon frequently available to the public. Pricey but incredible.

Drink a bottle of Cantillon lambic . I recommend St. Lamvinus or Vigneronne. Not cheap , but so worth it. Cheers.

Great beer selection and a quieter scene than the rest of the old port . You can talk without having to yell.

The Crab Rangoon grilled cheese is amazing. Savory, creamy...buttery. Yum. The Foie is awesome as is the jerk tacos .

Best beer bar in Maine ! I highly recommend going! You will find beers that you have never heard of before. Novare's food is also exquisite!

Simply the best beer bar in Maine . Novare Res changed everything in terms of what the definition of a beer bar is. Bravo.

beautiful comfortable space , both indoors and outdoors. killer beer list

Everything about this bar is AMAZING!!! The beer selection , the food, and the staff , LOVE it all!!! Definitely awesome!!!

HUGE menu. Loved it!! Underground and dark with a big patio outside.

Beer list is incredible. Atmosphere is warm and intoxicating. The artisan cheeses were dynamite.

Impressive beer list with a pretty good amount of Belgians. Great meat & cheese plate !

Super hipster . If you don’t have a sleeve or a beard your not welcome. Slow service m. They have a dungeon style bar room or a shaded patio . The selection is saison to citrus to sour.

Cool underground location. Outdoor seating of it's warm enough. Nice, friendly , and knowledgeable staff .

Unbelievable beer selection . Be sure to sit outside in the beer garden and be sure to bring friends!

Great beer bar offering a large selection. The deck is a great place to hang out.

One of the best beer bars in New England - what else is there to say?!?!

Corn hole and an amazing beer selection . Look out for their tap takeovers.

Classic beer bar . Belgian heaven! Orval & Dieu du Ciel Peche day.

To the individual (self proclaimed dick) there are non alcoholic options. I suggest some of the delicious sodas . When in doubt you could sways read the menu before ordering. Just saying...

Awesome beer list ...incredible beer garden ! Great spot to soak up some suds and sun!

This place isn't messing around. Get a beer . Sit at a garten style table. Read the menu. It's funny. And it's even funnier after your second biere . Prost.

A beer drinkers haven. Check what's on draft , but don't be afraid to venture into the full beer menu . Some potent potables.

Fantastic place. Great beer and atmosphere!

Recommended by local chef Erik Desjarlais: "They have Maine beers , but consider the world local. Their keg system is more complex than most computer hard drives."

Make your way up to the bar and order a brew from Marshal Wharf. Stop by and thank us after.

Chill vibe. Great beer selection . Try their Mead

Bartenders are fabulous! Have them pour you something you've never tried before.

Make sure you know the price before you get them the bottle open for you;)... Its always good, but could be pricy .

If you are in Portland and you love beer , this is a MUST. Great selection of beers .
