36 Hours in Portland, Maine – HARBORSIDE
Get off the main drag to explore wharves and docks where seaweed dries on racks and gulls poke around nets and lobster pots. Stop for a drink on the deck of Portland Lobster Co., where a local band might be playing blues or rock covers, or find a seat at the long bar at Liquid Riot Bottling Co., which, besides being a restaurant and bar, is also a distillery and brewing establishment, churning out an impressive list of libations, including beer, rum, whiskey, vodka and what its website touts as “Maine’s first Fernet.”
