The front area is a classy, chill modern restaurant, and the back has games and TVs. There's a great lounge upstairs. Great beer and cocktail selection. Try the heirloom tomato salad!

This place is one-of-a-kind and I highly recommend giving it a visit because there is nothing like it in your hometown. They were accomodating to my large group and even made us an off cocktail menu that we were interested in trying. The prices are reasonable, but lean on the upper spectrum of what you would pay for brunch, but it’s worth it just to take in the details and decorations out into this interior. Dress can be casual here, but maybe would recommend some some weekend dress-up.

This place is amazing. An over the top brewery that feels more like a high end bar at a ski resort in Aspen with fireplaces and mounted Moose heads on the wall. Great private rooms that can be curtains off, upstairs balcony seating that overlooks the bar and a back bar and have room - this place is awesome!

Highly recommend this place if you want to hangout with a big group of friends and family. They have a good selection of good brunch and dinner. It’s very creative and they have a big space for friends to have fun and do things. The foods were also really good.

I love this place! Fantastic Beer choices, more than just IPA's. Food was delicious! We got a pulled pork sandwich and a chicken sandwich. Atmosphere was awesome, creative touches every where you looked. Game area to hang out at if you choose. Dylan was very helpful with information.

Great atmosphere! Made a reservation via Opentable for a late lunch. Wide range of food option for the size of menu. Lots of gluten free options available such as pizza dough, buns, and they use a separate fryer for fries. All good pictured we got GF. Staff was very helping in finding out information on our food allergies to ensure our meal was safe!GF potato pizza was delicious. The crust was very herb’y.GF bun was actually soft! We enjoyed the BBQ chicken sandwich but did ask for more sauce as it was a bit dry overall. Fries were delicious.House chips and onion dip were great! Savory and GF.

Establishments like Batson River are the reason I hesitate to give 5 star reviews. If I gave 5 star reviews for restaurants that are just "alright" you wouldn't be able to delineate just how incredible this place is.It epitomizes excellence in every way.The venue is decorated with authentic pieces. I had to close my eyes as I ate the haddock tacos. It was like experiencing live classical music. Service was top notch. Dylan was super welcoming and made for an excellent experience.HIGHLY recommend.I'd come back to Maine for many reasons, but Batson River alone would make the trip worth it.

After a tiny wedding ceremony, the couples family walked over to Batson River for a meal. We had always commented personally how lovely the light is inside this building and thankfully we got to photograph clients in it eventually! Its a great spot for a celebration.
