Dock Fore Tavern, situated in the historic Old Port neighborhood, is an iconic local sports bar and pub known for their gourmet jello shots and low key atmosphere.

This beloved establishment, around for over four decades, is a quaint and unpretentious spot that’s ideal for a relaxing pint. The pub originally opened its doors in 1980, taking over the space that was once the famous Zeitman’s Grocery Store, becoming a part of the city’s rich cultural heritage.

During summer, patrons can soak up the sun in the outdoor parklet while indulging mimosas, margaritas and draft beers. Enjoy some of the local cuisine with fresh crab and lobster on the menu.

Dock Fore is a popular destination for bachelorette parties and attracts a diverse crowd of locals and visitors alike. The establishment’s drink specials include:

Daily: 3-7pm: $1.95 Pints 3-7pm
Daily: 7pm-Close: $3.95 20 oz Drafts
Wednesday: 3pm-Close: $4.95 House Margaritas
Saturday & Sunday: 12 -7pm: $3.95 Mimosas

No frills locals bar, with great prices and great service. Jello shots are a must. Also the CLEANEST bar I have ever been to, even though it looks like an time capsule from the late 80s.

Best happy hour pricing in all of Portland! In a sea of gentrification and increasing land/rent prices this is a breath of fresh air in the Old Port! Good honest drinks at good honest prices.
