The End of Portland Maine

Known For
Waterfront golden hour views from Portland's edge
The End of Portland Maine earns its name — it's perched where the city meets the water, and the outdoor seating captures golden hour light in a way that feels almost unfair to describe. The moody atmosphere inside swaps salt air for something warmer and more intimate.
🕐Best time to visit: Just before sunset on a clear evening
Our Take
The End earns its name with a terrace that catches the last of the evening light over the water — golden-hour cocktails here feel like a proper event. With a near-perfect rating but a very small review pool, it's a promising find that's still building its story.
