14 Best Bars near Kennebunk

“Lovely Cafe in the Kennebunk area. Stopped by here for breakfast before heading back home to New Jersey. The atmosphere inside was just amazing. It was so comfortable, and there were lots of books and board games for the customers to enjoy. The staff was also incredibly polite and helpful. My family thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and visit.“

“I love this place! As you’re walking along the street with all the shops it doesn’t look like anything special, but I wanted to go in and check it out anyway. I’m so glad we did. It’s like a little store with a deli, bakery and coffee shop plus other odds and ends. They make everything in their deli and bakery. Coffee options are also great. They have a small seating area where we sat to eat our lunch. The dessert options are amazing. I had the Greek salad and for dessert I got their homemade Blueberry bar with crumbles. The bar has a thick crust with the blueberries on top. It was amazing! My husband got their hot sandwich with Turkey, bacon and cheese. They had it in their grab n go section. It was also cool to see a wall of pictures with the owner and various Bush family members. Great history in those pics.“

“My best friend and I went to Earth for dinner last Saturday. I hadn’t been there for over a year. It was such a surprise, incredible, unexpected experience, way above our expectations.From a culinary perspective, the menu is super well balanced with dishes that are comforting and innovating. The kitchen executes it to perfection, using outstanding produce and cooking it all in a way that showcases each element on your plate, yet never managing to hide one from the other. One thing I loved was the fact that all protein was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, never needing any sauces to mask its own flavour. We had duck, fish, venison, roasts carrots, ravioli, the tuna sashimi, the scallops and the soup of the day.Portions are perfectly sized. In my opinion, outstanding value for money.The wine list is excellent. Diverse, affordable and complementary to the menu.Deserts were nice as well, especially the Opera Cake and the Pavlova (I could have had a pint of the home made raspberry sorbet that comes as a side to it!).Service was also a star milestone. We had Charlie as a waiter. It makes a huge difference when you have someone that is passionate about what he’s presenting to you, knows the dishes and can honestly tell you about what they are and make genuine recommendations, on top of being good at reading the table, being present without being fake about it, and overall just another highlight of the evening, without being intrusive or over the top (which I find can be the case in some similar restaurants that are training their staff to over sell or use key moments of the evening to interject and justify a tip, or make up for not so perfect aspects of the service).Earth’s environment keeps you relaxed in a very beautiful and elegant room that transports you to a little fairy land of an elegant lodge lost in a wintery forest in Maine. It’s very chic, yet not stuffy. It’s cozy. It has a great vibe for adults, no matter the occasion. But let the Earth’s environment set the mood, I think you should focus on the food, if you’re into it… you can have fun putting together your prix fix menu and have a jolly dinner with someone you like…The only aspect of the night that I think deserves attention from management is that we had a table next to us with a small child, 5 or 6, that was watching Nickelodeon on mum’s phone, without an earphone. My friend could hear Dora the Explora’s every move in her quest to find her backpack… but it was an early winter Saturday evening and the girl was a saint. I would however, empower staff to monitor and curb anyone using their phones on speakers, or FaceTime, while at their table.It was a GREAT dinner! Coming back soon!“

“This is a gemstone of a local business in Biddeford, ME. My mother and I went here for their second Sunday of the month silent book club. We have the people and atmosphere. Many unique readers joined the event. The staff members were friendly. My mother said her coffee was excellent and I attest that my ginger orange tea was soothing and flavorful. It was worth the drive.“

“My boyfriend and I came in for the first time today and will definitely be returning! There is a huge selection of games and ample, comfortable seating. The space is very clean and well-lit, the bathroom was clean and even had a container of tampons for people to grab if needed! I think that’s so kind. There was an impressive drink selection. The owner was really nice, upbeat, and informative. We can’t wait to come back when we have some more time to spare!“

“Super chill place to play some pinball. They have some vintage machines mixed in with the newer ones. Good atmosphere for a night out.Parking: On site parking offered, but Renys parking lot is across the street.Kid-friendliness: Minors are permitted in the company of an adult 21 or older.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking spaces and street level entrance. No automatic doors.“

“First of all, this restaurant is stunningly beautiful and the location is too. It’s just beautiful. Our dinner was delicious. We had the tomato salad, the scallops and the filet. We also had the asparagus and potatoes as sides. Service was great. I’ll be thinking of this dinner for a long time!“

“Came in not knowing what wines to bring to Thanksgiving and left with two really cool bottles that I'll be excited to share with my relatives. Next time I would love to try some food and wine, and maybe get into some natural wine! It's nice knowing there's a place where you can go in no matter how well versed you are in wines. I'm looking forward to returning in the future.“

“The drinks are appropriately priced and so delicious!!! I got a blueberry mule and it was incredible. The vibes are immaculate too, the lighting is so nice and the deck is amazing too to get some fresh air. The bartender Jacob is so welcoming and friendly, really elevates the experience :)“

“What a great spot! Cannot wait to check it out this summer and enjoy their outdoor space.We caught the tail end of their winter menu and I'm so glad we did! The jalapeno margarita was spot on.I also had the soup of the day, a mushroom cheddar, and the Italian grinder salad. Both exceptional.My husband had the burger and I was a bit jealous but was thankful to have a few bites.“

“Very good. Wells Maine in winter means many closed restaurants. This bar and grille area s definitely a locals place. We started with an order of Wagyu sliders, that were very very good. They had bacon, melted cheese and mayo on them each and came with three in the order. Then we split the grilled chicken salad, which was a basic fresh mixed green salad with a few tomatoes, a few cucumber slices, some croutons, and very small amount of shredded cheese. Dressings tasted like they were out of a bottle, but they were good. We especially liked the waitress. No nonsense and great service. We could also see what seemed to be the manager, replenishing tables, cleaning up, and helping out wherever needed. Well, it wasn't exactly fine dining, we really did like the place. I believe their lobster roll would have been great, but we've already eaten enough lobster this week. I'd go back there.“

“You guys seriously need to get touch tunes and get rid of that horrible jukebox you have now that's just way to over priced and is not that eye appealing, but Shay and the townhouse girl were amazing and made mine and my friends night great! But seriously touch tunes. Get it got it good.“

“Your friendly, local Biddeford watering hole. We've only been living in Biddeford since the pandemic so we haven't been able to go out as much as we like, but we stopped in here over the summer and sat out in the back smoking area for a few drinks. It wasn't quite the "record scratch" when we walked in, but everyone knows everyone here. Just the nicest group of people though, at least on our visit. So many people introduced themselves to us and by the time we left we felt like a character on Cheers. Cash only and cheap as hell drinks and beers. As soon as things get back to normal we'll be stopping in here a lot more. Thanks for a good time from Jake and the Pizz.“

“Great place tucked away in town. Has an upstairs patio outside and indoor seating. Food is great and reasonably priced. Also, friendly service. Definitely recommend anything to eat here.Parking: Parking is a little small and off the main road behind the main buildings in town. Not too many spaces, but there is paid street parking as well. Great restaurant overall.“
