The Dog and Pony Tavern

Specialties

The Dog and Pony Tavern is located slightly off the beaten path, which is why it has become a local favorite! You can enjoy a beer or cocktail inside or outside in our treehouse patio and gazebo bar!

We serve food from 11:30 am until 12:30 am; we are one of the latest places to get food in Bar Harbor! We also have a takeout window that open from 1 am until around 2 am.

Everything is at local prices, even if you’re from away! Try a burger, lobster roll, steak caesar salad, poutine, or one of our other tasty bites! There is table service until 9 pm, but you can still order after that!

We have up to 15 beers on draft and carry a variety of local brews!

History

Established in 2007.

Started by three friends, the Dog and Pony Tavern was established in a location that had failed as many other businesses. Island native Amanda, husband Dustin, and their Canadian friend Garrett put their heads together to create the tavern they would want to go to and eat, drink, and chat with friends. To make it all work, the trio were the only people working at the Dog and Pony it’s first year in 2007. Five seasons later, and Amanda, Dustin, and Garrett now have a great staff of servers and cooks, but you will still see them working there every week! Happy hour, which they dubbed «awesome hour», brings in a great crowd of locals! Ask one about the place and you may here them refer to the Dog and Pony as the «D– n –P.»
