Pointe Afta

I love this place. They have good drinks and a good staff. The food is good but the menus is difficult to figure out. They have a lot of local music in the evenings.

I am still waiting for my food, 2 hrs later! 10 minutes and we are outta here! It took 2 hrs and 4 minutes to get our food. Ridiculous.

Great apps and beer, watching the Pats on the big screen! Great Local sports bar, super friendly! The New England sports paraphernalia and trivia on the wall is the best!!!

LOVE The Pointe! Would highly recommend it for sports lovers or big groups. You can snowmobile here in the winter, too. That’s pretty sweet.

This is a great friendly bar with typical bar fare, very good wings, etc… Several soups on menu, the special seafood stew was excellent. Regardless of the food which was all good, this is a fun place with amazing atmosphere at least tonight for birthday celebration for Mike. Could not have picked a better place. Fun for kids and adults, I’ll come back even if they don’t take American Express…

I just love the Point Afta! Recently moved back to central Maine and am so excited to make it my regular spot. My Mom works in Waterville and for the past 2 – 3 years it has been our favorite meeting spot. My Wife and I just love driving to Winslow for the cold beer and great menu. It’s the best sports bar in the area and full of fun Maine related sports memorabilia. They also have outside seating which is always a plus. I recommend the buffalo wings and the Cindy Blodgett. Oh, and the actually have pretty tasty pizza!

Why the Pointe Afta bar and restaurant has never been reviewed on Unilocal is beyond me. It has been around for longer then I can remember and over the past few years I have come to love the atmosphere, the people and the food. This is not your clean cut, spotless classy neighborhood restaurant. In fact I’ll be up front in saying the outside has seen better days and the restrooms could use some TLC. But when you walk through the door you are immediately taken back to a time when you could go to your favorite spot to watch the game on the TV with your friends over a cold beer (or twelve) and talk about the old times. There is New England sports memorabilia all over the walls, arcade games, a couple different rooms for functions and an outdoor patio. Another great thing about this place is Stan, the owner who always chats it up with customers and keeps watch over his business each and everyday (I never have seen him in the evenings for some reason). Once you get to know Stan you will always feel welcomed at his bar. So what about the food? Its consistently good bar food essentials such as wings, nachos and mozzarella sticks along with a huge selection of burgers and sandwiches named after local New England and Maine athletes and coaches. My suggestion would be the Scott Wood. This is my go to hot baked sandwich, Grilled Teriyaki Chicken, Mozzarella, mushrooms and Mayo. The melted cheese, the gooey tangy mayonnaise, the sweet Teriyaki and smokey grilled chicken are a delicious combination. On the side you can’t go wrong with spicy curly fries or onion rings (not homemade but always crispy). On this trip, Simone and I discovered a new favorite– Dirty Chips. A potato take on the classic Buffalo style wing. House made thick cut potato chips are served extra crunchy topped with melted Monterrey Jack cheese, bacon bits, Blue Cheese, Ranch Dressing and Hot Sauce. These are dirty because they will remind you of great sex– hot, messy, dare I say oragasmic and when its over you’ll be wanting more. These are a meal by themselves (which would be good to know before you order your meal). After finishing a delicious dirty plate of these addictive chips we ended up having to take most of entrees home. Simone ordered a sandwich special consisting of Grilled Chicken Breast, Bacon, Swiss and Honey Mustard on Foccacia. This sandwich was basic but well prepared and although Simone could only eat a quarter of it after all the chips it was enjoyed again for dinner along with the remainder of my Scott Wood sandwich. I would recommend The Pointe Afta to all of you. There is a reason it has been in business forever. Good Service, Good Atmosphere, Great Food and cold beer adds up to 4 stars and many return visits.
