Reclaiming Fore Street: Prost!
The buzz of Novare Res is sure to damper the shine of Prost! International Tap House, considering it opened first and Prost! will constantly be compared to the revolution that is the Res. Lucky for you and Prost!, I can't make those comparisons because I've yet to visit the Res. Been meaning to, but I've heard the venue randomly closes, shooing away what may have been loyal customers. Plus they don't serve Maine micro-brews. And now I'm turned off.
Fall in love all over again: Portland
Whew! It's been quite a run in my hometown of Portland, but my time here at Blethen Maine is done. I am moving out o' town, but fear not, grizzled drinkers. Amy Martin, of the Switch and Maine Roller Derby, will be taking over my 1 a.m. Curfew duties. I am sure she will do a much better job than I did. (Also, how 'bout a hand for the Celtics, best thing I have ever seen).
An Old Port Classic: Rosie's
Owning a bar is like a tinkering with an equation. What combination of services do you offer that will create the ideal atmosphere, the right customers and the steadiest stream of dollars?
Revolution: Novare Res
Portland's beer selection just got bigger. A lot bigger.
