Instant favorite. "Call the Doctor" was an immediate top five cocktail for me. This place is underneath an old chamber of commerce building and has a seating area inside an old vault. Dark, cool, classy, excellent bartenders.

You should not go here. I want it all to myself. The food menu is small, but delicious. The cocktails are great, and the selection of wines and alcohol is likewise. The bartenders are good at making the cocktails, and it shows. Atmosphere is nice, but it can get too loud even without being crowded, because the brick walls do not absorb any sound. Some acoustic art would help tremendously. This place is the Alfred Hitchcock of speakeasies.

Happened to be passing through on a girls trip, and so happy we stopped. Amazing n/a cocktails and the food was great. Got a tarot card reading to boot.

A perfect spot to have stumbled upon, quite literally. We went with the charcuterie board, as well as the baked feta cheese with warm honey, roasted grapes, and walnuts. Divine. We sat on the outdoor patio, and the choice of music coming thru the speakers was very well chosen (Motown!). Will definitely be back!

Great place but hard to find. Which makes your drink feels like a reward after the wandering in cold weather! Loved that it was not decibel-deafening. The drinks were interesting.

Came here on a Wednesday for a drink before dinner. I am not too familiar with my cocktails and the staff was very kind to recommend me a drink. I really enjoyed the vibe and we had a blast hanging out with my friends.

Absolutely loved my experience at this new speakeasy bar in Maine! The atmosphere was charming and perfectly captures the hidden gem vibe. The cocktails were innovative and expertly crafted, each one a delightful surprise. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly welcoming and passionate about their vision for the bar. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into every detail. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a unique night out!

In town for a quick visit and stumbles upon this place. It was an absolute delight! the atmosphere is like a speak easy. perfectly lit- cool and romantic. We sat at the bar and watched Karli the mixologist do her magic-every employee was engaged and helpful. the drinks were delicious and the food was creative and fabulous. we got the charcuterie board -fresh and thoughfully prepared. hit the spot. we can’t wait wait to go back again. if you’re headed to bangor stay at the Phenix and go to Barlimans!

Shocked to see some of these negative reviews. Sure, these are Portland prices, but you'll quickly realize it's so worth it! The food & drink quality are unlike others in the area. Barliman's is elevating the dining scene in Bangor. One of the biggest selling points is that the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. If you are in a hurry, do not dine here. The point of this place isn't to get in and get out. It's all part of the experience!
