Atlantic Brewing Midtown – American Craft Brewery & New American

Midtown beer shop storefront housed in a modern glass-and-grey building in Acadia National Park.

The rooftop deck pairs with a cityscape backdrop for a vivid Bar Harbor vibe. Blueberry Ale pours with a bright blueberry aroma, while the Lobster Roll arrives warm and briny, tucked in a buttery bun. Duck Wings add a crispy, peppery counterpoint to the seafood and beer lineup. It’s a bustling, live-music setting where the beer steals the show and the food holds its own.
