Bayside Liquors

Visited on a Bar Harbor trip back in 2013. This is the liquor store in Bar Harbor. You’re going to go here. You’re going to buy a few things from the fairly good (for a vacation town) selection. The people are friendly, and the prices reasonable. The place is charming and quaint, but as you’re likely going to end up here on a longer stay in Bar Harbor anyway, that doesn’t matter all that much.

Eh not much going on here. Just a regular liquor store that has a couple small shelves dedicated to craft beer. Some local stuff, some imports, some other micros. There aren’t any great places to get bottles in Bar Harbor and if you aren’t from Maine this might be a worthwhile place to stop in to pick up a few bottles.

Établissement visité le mercredi 14 octobre vers 17h. Ambiance: Petit magasin qui sert surtout à dépanner les touristes du secteur. Service: Sympathique sans plus. Sélection: Quelques microbrasseries du Maine ainsi que quelques bières européennes. (138e rating d’établissement)

Nice little store with an pretty good selection. Lots of local brews available but a couple coolers of the improts and micros. Prices are pretty decent.

Smaller liquor store tucked away from the main drag of Main Street. Average selection at best, mostly some local beers from the Bar Harbor area and a few decent imports. Meh, not really worthwhile unless you really want to buy some local beers that you can get from the source a short drive away or some imports that you can probably get at home

Je ne pensais pas d’y aller là, surtout que je n’avais pas leur adresse, mais je l’ai trouvé et j’ai rentré. C’est une assez bonne sélection, quelque importation et oui, il y avait de l’Allagash, la 11e anniversaire!

Decent little liquor store in an alley branching out of Bar Harbor’s main drag. They had an satisfying selection of Maine beers, with the cruel exception of Allagash beers. They also do not carry Maine Coast beers, even though the brewery is a mile or so from their store. Odd, once again. Other than that, the import selection was quite small, which is normal for Maine, but I did get a 4-pack of Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru, which was quite pleasing. Nothing special here really, but it’s most probably the best store selection you’ll find on Mount Desert Island.

I found this store by accident when my sister wondered down an alley. It has a nice selection of all the local brews. I picked up a Bar Harbor brew as well as a beer from Orono.

Tiny little store (every store in BH is tiny, though) with a nice little beer selection highlighting most everything that’s available in the area -- you can get all the Bar Harbor and Atlantic stuff here, as well as touristy Maine crap. Friendly service.
