The Dog and Pony Tavern

The lobster bisque soup i ordered was fantastic ! Never had such a delicious soup before ! Must try in cold weather ! Service is good, try chicken wing with house sauce !

The lobstah roll was delicious. $ 12.49. LOADED with tender big pieces of fresh lobster! Nice wait staff too!

Great food. I wanted to try a place of the main drag and tried this place. Happy I did.

I really can’t speak about the food here as I just came here for drinks but from what I saw the food look well prepared and elevated beyond simple bar food. My fiancé and I ended up here from a recommendation from the guy working at the Bar Harbor Brewing Company who said it was were locals tend to end up in the Bar Harbor area rather than one of the many tourist spots. We certainly didn’t go around taking notes about where everyone was from but from what we could tell it certainly seemed like a laid back local kind of place more than a tourist spot. Though they have plenty of indoor space we stayed in their spacious backyard patio deck which also has a full bar, plenty of seating, and darts. Prices were significantly better than places like Stewmans while the location was very easy to walk to from any other place in BarHarbor. I believe most of the beers were $ 5ish and though the taps outside were limited, what they did have were a great selection of seasonal craft beers. The deck also has several large flat screen TVs playing sports so there’s no need to have to choose between being outside and watching whatever game you wanted to check out. I definitely enjoyed stopping by here while I was in the area and will definitely be back when or if I come back to the area.

The BEST lobster roll on the island!!! And the price can not be beat! My roll was sooooo loaded it was falling off, big chunks and so FRESH! Will always come here for my lobster roll fix.

A great sports pub, right downtown yet out of the way on a side street. Nice assortment of drafts and a good selection of mostly pub-​type food. Prices are great, especially so when considering that this is Bar Harbor. They’re open year round, and as such is truly a local’s hangout. The atmosphere is lively, and although not a quiet place, is great for unwinding after your day’s adventures.
Quality of our haddock sandwich and lobster roll was excellent. (Gotta love a place that has a bottle of malt vinegar on every table!)About the lobster roll. Not only is it about the lowest priced in town, but it’s beyond doubt the freshest. Turns out that the owner’s father is a lobsterman, and what you’re eating is part of his day’s catch.
This place is truly worth searching out. I only wish we had discovered it earlier in our trip.

Nice little spot. Locals mostly. Better that way.
TVs for sports/​games.
Bar food, decent. Didn’t have them, but the wings and tater tots looked good.
Nice selection of beers on tap too.
Outdoor gazebo bar in good weather with a big screen tv.

Place was fine for a quick meal — inside was supposedly air conditioned still way toooooo hot — one little AC unit for entire place. Food was good. My son had lobster roll which he said was very good. I had skirt steak which was average/​good Wife and other son had the chicken which was good. son # 3 had fried haddock sandwich which is what you would expect. Would have rated it. 4 for the pub food but way too hot — which to be honest isn’t normally an issue in Maine

Service good food not so much
Ordered wings came to table w/​o blue cheese as requested. …cool at the bone… asked the wait staff to correct so what did they do… they dumped the wings into the fryer as is and over cooked them… see my pic. yikes! !

We stopped here after having over-​priced cocktails on the waterfront. High fives on beer selection, friendly bartenders and wait staff! The best lobster roll in town; not only quality but price! Stay away from the pretentious, expensive tourist places and stop here instead… you will not be disappointed!

Douchey bartender has adhd and pretends he’s a dj. Good luck hearing and entire song.

Had a few drinks here on 2 different nights and had a great time. The bartenders were very attentive and accommodating, the draft selection was great, and they had darts out back. Quite a mixed crowd, too. Definitely recommend for those visiting like we were.

We came here after a recommendation from a local we met at Maine-​ly Meat/​Atlantic Brewing Company earlier in the day. We were looking for a place in Bar Harbor that would have TVs as the first USWNT game as well as a Blackhawks playoff game were on and we are Chicagoans who like soccer!
This place was great for what we wanted — good pub food, good draft list, and the bartender was very nice and attentive. He knew we wanted to watch the game and actually changed a TV to the game without us having to ask which was great (we were craning to see the game on a different TV). We each had the mac & cheese which, while not spectacular, was pretty good, large, and only $ 6.
It had a cool looking outdoor area as well but we wanted the TVs and the weather was also pretty crappy at the time so we stayed in.

I loved this bar. The outside was a cool environment and they had a good drink selection. They have some TVs for sports games.
Toodly doo

The people who work here and own this bar are the biggest assholes we have ever met. We flew in from Texas and were excited when our hotel told us there was a place to eat that was still open. All 8 of our group walking in at 9 pm and were not allowed to enter because my 67 year old mother did not have her ID. I understand there are rules and laws that must be followed, but by the complete rudeness and lack of reasonableness of this bar they lost 8 customers.

As always, a great stop for burgers, beer, and stew. My 5 year old «upped the ante» with her favourite lobster role on MDI.

I was a little skeptical of this lunch spot at first but I’m glad I gave it a chance! My boyfriend and I split the lobster roll and I think it’s my new favorite food. It wasn’t drowning in mayo and had such a good flavor. The clam chowder was more runny than chowder-​y, which is a plus to me. The tots were crispy and delicious. I would come here again if I come back to Maine!

Thinking back on our visit, I gotta go 5 stars. Food, service, and atmosphere were all awesome.

Only average. Do not get the gloppy, poorly constructed nachos. Processed cheese sauce, not much chili, a few jalapeños. Not a good start. Pretty good beer selection but could have more locals.
The standout was that I had my cheapest ($ 12.95) and best lobster roll. Served on bun and lettuce. Not mayo’d up… but mostly great chunks of meat. The lobster bisque was good.
My wife’s salad looked only average. My boys chicken nuggets and fries pleased him.
I like the back patio a lot. Good parking. A pub… not bad… not great.

Can’t comment on the food, although my buddies liked the tater tots. We came here for drinks twice and both times had a good time. Place was hopping on a Saturday night, both inside and out. Bartenders were responsive and made good drinks. Definitely the place for young people to get drinks in Bar Harbor.
