Known For

Nordic-inspired cocktails in a warmly lit corner of Congress Street

Hunt & Alpine is a cocktail bar with a cozy nook sensibility and a Scandinavian-influenced menu that somehow works perfectly against the golden hour light that floods the space late afternoon. The garden vibes patio out back is a well-guarded warm-weather secret.

🕐Best time to visit: Afternoons in May when the patio first opens for the season

75 Market St, Portland, ME 04101, USA

Our Take

Hunt & Alpine's Scandinavian-inflected cocktail program — precise, spirit-forward, and genuinely thoughtful — is the draw, served in a room with good light and better company. This is a solidly destination-worthy bar, the kind of place you'd specifically plan an evening around.
