Munjoy Hill Tavern

My husband grew up on Munjoy Hill. We were driving around on a rainy Saturday and decided to pop in here. The bartender was super friendly and everyone in the bar treated us like family. Great little neighborhood spot!

Great atmosphere, fun servers, quaint neighborhood bar with an eclectic clientele.

Awesome hidden bar with great people, nice place to connect with locals

Megan made me feel at home. The patrons were friendly and I don't know if they serve food normally (it was near closing time) but the chicken and mac n cheese were an awesome way to finish the evening! If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'm definitely stopping in.

I was walking by this place on my way to get dinner when I noticed they were hosting trivia later that evening. Came in for a beer and ended up staying several hours for trivia and conversation. Food wasn't anything that stood out, but since this place kept me there past my planned dinner down the road it was good enough to satisfy my hunger. Place was full and got even fuller when trivia started. Was a fun night and had some great conversations with the locals. I was passing through town, and I always love it when the locals freely are curious to strike up a conversation.

Very cool place! Spent a week in Portland and this ended up being a favorite. Returned multiple times during my stay. Megan, Tiana, & Tanya were great! All of the regular patrons are very friendly and will strike up a conversation with anyone. Also met the owner! Really great spot with great drinks at the best price. A real gem.

I hate to give this a 1 star experience because it has so much going for it, but that’s truthfully what it was. We just moved 1 block from this establishment, so my wife and I were really excited to have a spot so close to us. However, the experience was terrible. The bartender was very mean to it group. First, she told us she wouldn’t serve us because she already did last call….we showed up 50 minutes before close and it was packed. Then we got like 4 bud lights, in bottles. We tipped her $3, and she lost her mind on us. Considering it was my wife’s surprise birthday party that I threw, I was not happy that the bartender was telling us not to come back because we don’t tip. First, opening a couple of bottles of beer requires almost no skill, so no I will not tip $10+ which is what she wanted. Second, you don’t tell the patron, especially one whose birthday it is, that they’re cheap and need to leave. I’ve literally never experienced this before in my life, and I bartended for years in Portland. Totally bizarre and disappointing. Do not go here.

This place reminded me of my hometown, a cool little hole in the wall that opens up into a very cozy bar with friendly service and locals who are happy to strike up conversation with you. We enjoyed meeting the owner and just chatting. The drinks here are strong and well poured. In the evening, they have music on the back deck.
