Portland & SoPo Hidden Treasures
Portland is a great little city full of art, music, ocean views, great beer, and incredible food. Our little neighborhood in South Portland (SoPo) has much to offer! Here are some of the best places on both sides of the Casco Bay Bridge!
This is our neighborhood spot. Sam and I are very proudly "regulars" here. The food is great and the space and staff are almost too cool. This little brewery has incredible beer. They make it on-site and the tap rotations are ever-changing. They are really taking off, and have recently started canning! Stop by for an insanely good meal, a flight, and take some cans home with you!!
