Took a visit to the Black Friar Pub several times over the summer to listen to some good local folk music. First off, the interior is very nice. It's like being in an old English pub in some small UK town. It can be crowded, but it's perfect for a nice old fashion bar setting. In the back is a...

We ate there the last weekend of the season. The service was outstanding. (well, there was that incident about the bartender supplying mead instead of chardonnay). The beer & burgers were great, the scallops only so so. The setting was neat. If the food had been as good as the rest, it'd be a "can't miss' place.
I have to completely disagree with an earlier reviewer - fried food is not a necessity in an English pub but good beer is! We found the pub part way through our stay in Bar Harbor and were lucky enough to coincide with some live music. We sat at the bar and ate an excellent meal - the chef was...

Nice, corner-pub atmosphere on a side street away from the packed tourist places. Healthy, tasty food in a quiet atmosphere.
The B&B has a pub that serves excellent food and drinks. Had the Lobster that was fantastic! Cozy atmosphere and reasonably priced. Service was great, too.
This is a great little pub reminiscent of an English pub. Small in scale but big on great dinner and pub fare selections. Food was very good - well prepared and attractively served. Staff was very friendly and warm to customers. A short walk from heart of downtown on a quiet side street. Make reservations as the place is small....

NO fried foods? How can this be called a pub? I got the chicken wings and there was still feathers on the wings, I posted a picture they were not even browned........The scallop hash had a fishy taste and was watery, top was brown but it needed cooked on both sides.. ugg......the service was good and the place was clean....

Black Friar is proud to offer fresh and unique dishes. Yes we do not have fried foods and this is by choice. There are plenty of restaurants in Bar Harbor that offer the fried food menu but not ours. Does this not make us a pub? The Friar offers an atmosphere and food choices not found anywhere else in the...

Nice place, not real fancy, off the beaten track in fact I read some folks had trouble finding it. We went for dinner. Food was fresh and tasty. Atmosphere is nice and warm, not like some main street places. Appeared to be a fair amount of locals there which is usually a good sign. Try it, I'd say.
We had hoped to stay at the Black Friar but it was booked. So we made a point of going for dinner. It's not elegant, it's a GREAT replica of a British Pub. The kitchen is small, and right off the bar, but don't let size fool you! The food was fantastic! The Drinks large and well made.
We had...
