104 Main Public House - Brunswick

Gave 104 Main Public House a run for the first time last night 3/7/22 . Building is nice. Great location. Clean inside. Overall a good, basic watering hole; nothing too special. Whomever prices the spirits, however, should consider the community and the customers likely to visit. I am a regular drinker of Blanton?s. I buy it in Maine for $52 a bottle. I?ve had it at higher-end places for about $18 a glass (two finger pour, neat , but again, at high-end, waterfront establishment. 104 charges a whopping $20 per glass (see attached bill . As you can see, their charging system is a little strange. I called back and asked for a better explanation and, in short, they charge $7 ea. for a ?family? whiskey then another $13 ea. for Blanton?s because it?s ?top shelf? ? so $20 a glass. I don?t understand the $4 discount on my tab, but it did bring it down to $18 a glass, which, again, I would probably not make a fuss about at a high-end establishment. But at a local, grab a drink after work pub, I think they?ve out priced themselves. I will say that the service was great (I don?t mention names without permission in today's world and, although I didn?t eat, the wings looked tasty. But I don?t sit at the bar to eat! And, unfortunately, I doubt I?ll sit at this bar again to drink because it?s too expensive for my wallet. I am all about supporting small business, but not when it negatively impacts my wallet. (Even though I bought a $35 hat! They must have bought the blanks at Gillette Stadium!! I suppose in my case, it?s best to drink at home and shop Amazon!

Parking is good for a large crowd but can get over crowded on the weekends. I've been here several times and it has not disappointed! Good portions, tasty and staff have been kind. I went with some friends and ordered a snake bite it took four tries but each time the waitress was very kind. If I happen to remember to dine here with friends, I take that opportunity.

Friendly. Delicious. Good menu variety. Many gluten free options too : The whole family could eat there : This is our favorite restaurant on our vacation thus far, and we eat out at least once a day.

104 Main Public House is a great place to have a meal with family or have a business lunch. The atmosphere is Pub like, but not overly so. Candid pictures of previous patrons and wait staff adorn the walls, it lends a human feel to the place. Seating is fairly spacious and comfortable. The Noise level is on par with most restaurants, and less than most pubs. The wait staff are polite and attentive, our food was very good, and it was ready fairly quickly. My wife had a burger, it was a decent sized patty on a brioche style bun, with a blueberry sauce and blue cheese. She thoroughly enjoyed it, the fries were crispy and hot, not too much salt. My 10yo son ordered the Steak and Beer Cheese Sub, it again was a good sized portion and it was tasty. He couldn't finish the whole thing so a take out box it was. I had the Crispy Fish and Chips, the Haddock was done to perfection. Golden brown, not too greasy, just flaky white chunks of heaven. We enjoyed the meal, and would definitely go back again when in the area.

This was our first visit to 104 Main and we can both say this is and will be our new favorite place moving forward. The staff are so friendly and welcoming (Amanda rocks! . The Irish Nachos were the best I?ve ever had and the beer selection was fantastic. Also, do yourself a favor and order the ?secret? item not on the menu, Hollis Fries. You won?t be disappointed ????
