The Independent Ice Co.

If you're into whiskey and you're in Portland, just go. What an amazing place with huge selection of bourbon, so glad a did the Maine bourbon flight to experience the local taste. Service was fantastic as well and the vibe is great.

Comfortable, but classy, bar. Attractive bience and decor.

This is one of my favorite, go-to bars in downtown Portland. They have an impressive collection of whiskeys in addition to signature whiskey-based cocktails (e.g., a chocolate bourbon martini!). They also serve food to order; I wouldn’t call it a full-service kitchen, but the menu will definitely fill you up - not to mention it’s absolutely delicious. I recommend visiting to anyone who will listen.

Kristal was very friendly and knowledgeable. She also made the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. We were sad to learn this is her last week there. However, we will be back.

Excellent drinks and food. Great atmosphere. Recommend highly. Try the smoked Manhattan. You won't be disappointed.

Nice place missing a few key whisky's and scotch's other then that pretty nifty

The selection is great and the service was friendly, but the prices were shockingly high across the board, at least for single malt Scotch. Essentially a single dram is 1/3 the retail price of an entire bottle, which is easily over double the going rate at every other bar in Portland. Lagavulin 16 is $26 a dram here, and $12 just a couple of blocks away. You obviously expect a markup over retail when drinking at a bar, but not to this degree - not even close to this degree. This is true for all of the Malts. If you go, I hope you have deep pockets.

Friendly service. They were very busy but staff made sure to check in on us. I had a burger and it was delicious. They're cocktails were yummy and creative as well. Highly recommend.

Amazing bar! Gary, the General Manager, is amazing and makes quality drinks. 10/10 would recommend!

Top notch. Friendly staff, knowledgeable barkeep, great ambiance. I had time to take my friend visiting from Sweden to one place in the Old Port- this was it (he's a big whiskey guy and totally loved it).

The food was very good. It was a fairly small menu but what they did was top notch. The drinks were good. Fine selection and great atmosphere. Our server was probably one of the best I've ever had. Fantastic service. Really no criticisms I can think of!

We have discovered our new Old Port bar, what a find! Can hardly wait to return and try a bourbon or 2, food looked great, and the bartender was very knowledgeable, host (Gary) is very accommodating. Love this place!

On a cold day there was nothing better than a warmed Old-fashioned and spicy fries. Highly recommended

Gary and the crew are amazo. We had our wedding after party here and it was perfect. Such a beautiful location on wharf street and drinks are great. There’s outdoor patio and indoor event area. It was the best day ever for us! Thank you!

Alex the bartender was awesome. And the food was delish.
