"Portland’s most unique beer bar! 🍻 We’ve been coming here since before we even moved to Portland. The draft and bottle list is extensive, with a strong European focus alongside fun North American favorites, many of which are hard to find elsewhere. We love the addition of a few Quebec beers 🇨🇦 The atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a traditional European tavern, complete with long German-style beer hall tables. In the summer, the outdoor patio is an added bonus and a great place to linger. The beer menu changes often, which is all the more reason to keep coming back. A true gem for beer lovers like us!"

"One of the best beer bars I've ever been to. They had a large selection of beers from all over the world, and yet still seemed to shine a light on New England breweries. The building itself was a true cellar. Super cozy and decked out with memorabilia. The staff made me feel right at home, and had a vast knowledge of craft beer. I forget the woman's name, but she could go toe to toe with any beer nerd. What made it even better was the proper glassware. They used the same brand of glasses to match the brand of beer. That dedication to craft is second to none. Can't wait to visit again."

"Grabbed some seats by the cozy bar on a chilly November evening and was absolutely blown away by the extent and quality of the beer list- particularly when it came to rare lambics and other hard to source imports. Staff were knowledgeable and attentive. Novare Res is a must visit destination for any beer nerd when in Portland!"

"Always a great visit. Love the outdoor patio nestled in the trees and among the brick buildings of the Old Port. Fantastic European beer selection. And servers are super kind and friendly. Love their merch, too."

"Lacy was the best taste bud tour guide! She was fast, funny, witty and extremely knowledgeable. She knew what I wanted before I did. I’m not a big beer drinker and she cracked the code for me fast! The mortadella sandwich was incredible!! Deviled eggs were unique and yummy. The cheese selection was rad!! Also, SO many beer options!!"
