Dog & Pony Tavern

I love D&P its a different set up then most bars but they go above and beyond to make sure people have a good time. There's really no good bars around Ellsworth so if you want a good time go to Bar Harbor this place is year-round I believe except the porch good food good drinks good atmosphere

On our first night in Bar Harbor hubby & I ate at a nearby restaurant but I couldn't help but be intrigued by the music and camaraderie amongst the crowd at the Dog & Pony so hubby and I came back the next night for a late night dinner. Monday night football was well underway but we were able to find a booth and minutes later, Lynn, the bartender, came over and took our orders hubby - hubby went with the brisket sandwich and I got the sweet chili wings. Hubby's brisket was tender and flavorful and my wings were juicy and on the large side and the sweet chili was sheer perfection - sticky sweet with just enough heat, so meaty I couldn't finish them all so I took the rest to go. When Lynn dropped off our check she had a few moments so we chatted about the area and she gave us some wonderful tips, we thoroughly enjoyed her company and our meal and if time had allowed we would have stopped by again, definitely have it on my list for our visit next year. If you want to hang out and just chill and let your hair down this is the place for you, on the weekend they even had the patio bar open and the public parking lot is right outside their door.

Super cool bar to check out while staying in Acadia! Cheap drinks and they have Wii bowling. Sat inside but they had nice outdoor area too. Didn't eat but the food looked great.

Food is surprisingly good. Decent beer selection. Pulled pork sandwich and tater tots for $13.50 + tip. Better than some of the more expensive restaurants and bars in the area.

This is good for cheap eats in the area. Lots of fun games to play around the bar too!

4 stars because there's always room for improvement ;)

Very good food. Enjoyed the cheese curds and lobster roll very much. The lobster bisque was a little bland but the very kind waitress took it off the bill for me stating "I want you to enjoy what you order". Great service. Clean place. Smells good as soon as you walk in.
