This place deserves an A plus. For the effort put in to restore the historic building located in downtown Rangeley. I have not tried the food yet how ever been to the bar on several occasions. Always very friendly and eclectic mix of individuals and a well stocked bar. Bartender was very friendly the place feels very authentic. It’s just as it should be as being located in mountains of Maine.

Strange experience. Dark atmosphere, not what you expected from the outside. Our waitress was not knowledgeable, fumbled to explain the beers on tap, and took 10 minutes to run out check. Even though dining room was empty, hostess sat us right next to the only other table. Food was not«tavern» food. Really expensive and not worth it. $ 15 appetizer that was supposed to include artisanal cheeses and meats but consisted of goat cheese and prosciutto. Would not go back. They need to figure out their image and atmosphere. Either be fancy and make it worth the price or be a tavern. They are in limbo somewhere in between.

We felt welcomed by the hospitable staff at the Rangeley Tavern. The décor is warm and cozy and we could feel the sense of history from the well documented photos from the past. Jim Fargo, the head chef, did an exceptional job of creating a menu that had something for everyone. With a family of three teenagers it can be a struggle to find something to accommodate all tastes, however, the Tavern’s burgers suited the kids well and the refreshing bacon wrapped citrus halibut and Cubano sandwich left us all feeling very satisfied.
