28 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bar Harbor

“🦞 The BEST Lobster I had while in Maine, The Travelin’ Lobster in Bar Harbor. All the locals were here, so I knew I wanted to eat here. It was melt in your mouth delicious!!“

“The strawberry Rhubarb pie was amazing! My fiancé and I stopped by on our way back home and we were amazed by the customer service and the pie. We wish we were closer so we could get pie more often. You must visit!“

“Dog friendly even with their own menu…the entire staff here is amazing as are the oysters!! Awesome spot!!“

“Great bar. Outside with the pups and fire pit table!“

“First time here. FANTASTIC PLACE!!! The host was so friendly and welcoming, our server was courteous and efficient and the food was delectable!! I tried their daily special of shakshuka. SO GOOD!! My partner and I split an order of their peach pancakes for "dessert". Also very yum! We'll definitely be back!!“

“We were here on vacation from Indiana and loved the atmosphere! Happy hour oysters and drinks were awesome (the gin blueberry special drink is great). Staff was very nice, Skylar and Amy (Aimee) were very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Delicious, fun atmosphere, would eat here again.“

“perfect steamers today. will be back tomorrow for lobsters!“

“You must eat here! The atmosphere is lovely and laid back. The drinks (and mocktails) are wonderful. The food... the food is fantastic! You can't go wrong with the apps, but the Dilly Pickled Veg is the perfect little zippy snack while you wait for your dinner. The entire dinner menu is truly inspired. The bang bang fried chicken is always a personal go to... but I opted for the Crab BLT tonight and was blown away! My hubby had the Lamb Shwarma and practically licked his plate... the pita alone was a light, fluffy delight. If you order the fries, which you most certainly should, get the garlic aioli... you'll thank me later, it's also good with the lamb. ;)“

“A fantastic meal! The owner sat down with us to help us figure out how to best open the lobster because we hadn’t done it many times. He and the staff were extremely friendly. Very reasonably priced and the food was incredible! Highly recommended! Thank you!“

“Best haddock sandwich in Bar Harbor! All the food is so fresh. Love the patio seating area. It’s been great having them open all year round. 10/10 recommend“

“Great vibes all around. I had the chicken salad sandwich BLT recommended from our waitress and I’m still dreaming about it, so delicious! Food was great, but service was even better with the host and waitress checking in on us consistently. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The Barnacle Oyster Bar and Spirits in Bar Harbor, Maine, is the go-to spot for fresh oysters, quality beer, and expertly crafted cocktails. With limited seating and a devoted following of locals and visitors alike, it’s best to arrive early. We started our visit with a dozen of Maine’s finest oysters, each brimming with freshness, followed by perfectly balanced Black Manhattans. What truly stood out was the bartender’s impressive skill and efficiency—single-handedly managing the bar, crafting exceptional cocktails, and sharing extensive knowledge on the menu offerings. Adding a unique touch, the kitchen operates from the basement, with a red light signaling when food is ready to be served by a vintage dumb-waiter. If you’re in Bar Harbor and seeking a standout oyster and cocktail experience, The Barnacle should be at the top of your list.“

“very nice wines, good price for the tasting and the bottles.“

“This place is awesome! Cold brew was delicious and so were the bagels! I love the heavy cream option! Go support this local business you won’t regret it.“

“Amazing food! Simply delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. Five stars for sure.“

“An AMAZING breakfast find in the Bar Harbor area! The food was so delicious that I was/will be a regular whenever I'm in Bar Harbor. The food tastes homemade and super fresh. The biscuit was moist and delicious and the homemade strawberry butter was insanely delicious! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!“

“I recently had the pleasure of photographing the NYE party at Side Street Cafe. I was so impressed with the crew behind the scenes that I just have to leave a review! Having dined at Side Street in the past I already recommend this establishment to my clients traveling to Acadia for good food and adventure. But now that I have worked alongside their staff what an amazing restaurant! Attentive, kind, welcoming, are just a few words I’d use to describe Side Street and her Crew. They truly have the Bar Harbor vibe perfected! You won’t be disappointed you visited! Great food, great service, fun and wonderful atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Friendly service, amazing crew, great food and the owners are local which adds an extra vibe of knowing your customers and what they like!!!!!! ❤️“

“This place is a gem in Bar Harbor. The spider roll was delicious and the sticky rice with mango was amazing. The staff is very attentive and offered great service. Highly recommend.“

“Excelente atención todo limpio y muy hermoso y su personal muy amable, me encanta todo esto ,❤️❤️❤️👍🏻🥂“

“I was in town to photograph the NYE party at Side Street Cafe for the evening. My second photographer and I decided to treat ourselves to a reservation at McKays for dinner before we had to be to work and I can confidently say it was a great choice as usual! We both sipped on a delicious Hibiscus 75 (new favorite??). Our server was attentive, kind, and soft spoken. We thoroughly enjoyed his service! For dinner I had the seafood risotto and OH MY was that dish delicious!! Everything was cooked perfectly and I cannot wait to go back again.“

“Wonderful! Great food and drinks!“

“Great beautiful place :) !“

“Great location within the strip of shops. There is plenty of outdoor seating. We went around 3 pm, so after lunch rush. We waited for around 5 minutes (they had to clean a table). Our server was nice. He took our drink order, and it came out in just a few minutes. We ordered our food, and it came out within 10 minutes. The shrimp po'boy was good. The sauce had flavor but just a little much on the sandwich (it was hard to pick up and put down, got soggy). The chicken salad sandwich was pretty good and light. The lobster roll was a good portion size and didn't have too much mayo. The potato chips had light salt, which tasted good with the sandwiches. The lobster salad was basically a bunless lobster roll. The portion was large and came with a vinaigrette dressing. I ordered a blueberry frizz. It was very sour and didn't taste much like blueberry. Handicapped accessibility would be limited; no ramp (that I saw) to eat inside, you could eat outside 1st floor, which is under cover. The bathroom is tricky, getting in and out with 2 doors that open the same way.

Parking: Street parking that can be difficult to find a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Limited to outside, under cover.“

“Always amazing food and excellent service. Intimate atmosphere just on the edge of downtown, one of our favorite dinner spots.“

“Chocolates, fried dough, ice cream, and a whole lot more. If you can’t find something you like here, there’s no hope for you!“
