Tucked-away Belgian beer cafe in Canal Plaza with one of New England's deepest tap and bottle lists, a warm cellar atmosphere, and a beloved outdoor porch.
Novare Res Bier Cafe is a Belgian-inspired beer cafe tucked away in Canal Plaza in Portland's Old Port — long considered one of the most important beer bars in New England. The warm, cellar-like interior pairs with a beloved outdoor porch in season. The tap and bottle list reaches deep into Maine, the rest of the U.S., and Belgium, with rare and aged bottles regularly on offer. Charcuterie, cheese boards, and pub fare round out the menu.
A curated companion to Maine's independent businesses — makers, retailers, and the products they carry.
