Rising Tide Review

Wide selection of brews, outdoor seating, and even a corn hole setup!

Very typical industrial brewery feel with a good amount of seating. Great beer selection that was heavy on IPA's. Beer was high quality and quite tasty the surrounding area was industrial but was just a short walk from the downtown.

Good service and beers were decent but they did have a large selection so you would easily find one you like.

Great wide open space. Dog friendly. When we came there was a food truck and live music too. Even at it's busiest (according to Google) the service was fast and seats available. I also loved all of the beers in the flight I had (I'm a fan of IPAs).

Great ambiance. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Nice patio to sit and enjoy the delicious beer. And cornhole to entertain the kids or adults. :)

Their oyster nights are amazing! The beer selection is great. Their sours are delicious.

Good beer selection and friendly staff. Very dog friendly

This place is great. Exactly what I expect from a brewery (and a little more). Friendly and craft beer oriented, it was a great place to hang out for a couple hours. Outdoor seating (dog-friendly), a food truck and bean-bag toss. Excited to go back here next time I'm in Maine.

Update 2019: went back last week and had a great time. Employees were friendly and the beer is great! Brought our dog and he loved it. Will be back again next time.

Loved coming here for the firs time last month. The beer is delicious, lots of space to sit and food truck options to soak up the alcohol. Loved it so much I purchased their canned options at the grocery store!

The staff here are so friendly and down to Earth. We took a tour and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The beer was great and we greatly enjoyed sitting on the patio listening to live music. This place is also dog friendly on the patio, so we met lots of cool dogs! Great relaxing atmosphere and great prices! We bought a bunch of cans to take home too! We will definitely be back!

Awesome place!!! My husband and I go pretty much every weekend!!! Fun atmosphere, great selection of beer and a very friendly, knowledgable staff...feels like home!!! Perfect place to relax and enjoy!!!

Great variety of styles, and each of them was spot on. So glad I stopped there. The food truck parked in front made it total bliss.

Enjoyed the place. Went on a Tuesday and there wasn't a lot of people so we could relax and roam a bit. large outdoor seating area with picnic tables and umbrellas. Enjoyed a flight and a couple good beers that I hadn't heard of yet. We played some corn hole and watched the brewers in action on the canning line.

Very well organized with lots of seats outside and great gift shop. Of course there's always the wonderful beers.

This is my go-to in Portland. I love the beer, live music and the staff are very nice. We enjoy sitting outside and trying different flights of beer. We always have our dogs there and they are always welcome outside.
Like the snacks and no food trucks his time though. Give it a try the next time your are in Portland.

The beer was uniformly above average. Only issue was the weather was really hot and so was the tasting room.

Awesome outdoor space with a nice selection of beer. I had the Fort Gorges and it was really good. They had really good merchandise, too. The bartender was quick to serve us.

Beer is ok. Had a flash of brilliance with the rotating IPA. Staff was nice.

Really nice, pet friendly brewery. Loved the Polaris.

Outstanding tasting room! We've had 4 types of beer and they all tasted great, even exotic. And the price was just right. The empanadas they had available were good too.

We had a wonderful experience! A bit of a wait, but it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, so I'm not surprised. They had an app that allowed us to keep track of where we were in line. When we sat down, the hostess ran us through the safety rules, and there was a bottle of hand sanitizer for us to use on the table. The drinks were amazing, and the nachos were incredibly tasty. I'd definitely love to come back!

Nice spot, decent beers. Loud generator next to the food truck

Very chill environment with games and an inviting social environment. Busy at times but worth a wait, be sure to bring good friends along.

There was a short wait but it was worth it. The beer was good. Fast service and the place was clean. We ordered the nachos which exceeded expectations. The vibe of the place is great, there was a DJ playing. Would return again.

They have a sour IPA and it s really nice! I forgot the name of it!

Consistently great beer served in an Awesome space, run by awesome people.

Awesome beer range, a decent wine list, and the dumplings are awesome! Lighting, however, is poor (no one over their thirties wants to be in the brightest lite place around). Basically, the place needs to work on its atmosphere. Having said that, I'd return for the food. UPDATE - waiting staff took our order for extra dumplings, only to come back and tell us the kitchen was no longer making dumplings - this is something that should NEVER happen in any restaurant - if your waiting staff are taking orders, you MUST fulfil them - waiting staff should all be informed when the kitchen is changing its status from full menu to reduced menu; reduced my rating from 4 to 3 stars on that basis.

What a great brewery! Stumbled upon it by accident the first time we came to Portland and had to return. The staff are friendly and genuine--you can tell they enjoy what they do. Great selection of different beers, including a barleywine that was so good we bought a bottle to go. In the summer, the front of the building opens to plenty of (dog-friendly) outdoor seating. They don't offer a lot of food but food trucks and other small food businesses frequently offer food. Overall, a great place to relax and drink some great beer from a great company.

These weren t my favorite beers but I really like the energy of this place. Our service was great. They have visiting food trucks everyday so you can get a bite to eat and the options are rotating. Cornhole would have been fun but it was too hot for me! It s also nice how dog-friendly the place is. Bring your pup and hang out outside!

Not bad. I would say that some of the other breweries in the area are better but definitely worth a stop. They seemed to get pretty busy because they have a lot of exposure and a lot of the brew buses stop by. Beer was good!

Great staff, great beer! Local music and local food trucks. A go-to place.

Fantastic outdoor space with a selection of games to entertain. Swing by to try rotating food trucks and try the newly released Drift American Sour Ale.

When you escape the northern winter.
Bring some home flavor with you.

Awesome beer!! Loved the Nikita Russian Imperial Stout!
Great laid back atmosphere. My son and husband got into a Bags Challenge! This was Kade s game face!
They don t have food other than chips and popcorn, however Mr. Tuna s food truck was serving sushi burritos that looked amazing!

Great local brewery. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

Lovely little spot with some fantastic brews. if you're looking for something beyond the usual New England IPA this is your spot, fantastic stuff.

Great beer, outdoor area is nice, live music was great

The beers we're awesome.
The space is really unique as it gives you both indoor and outdoor seating. They had some Cornhole and connect four outside which was a nice touch. And they allowed dogs outside! Can't get much better than that! Definitely make rising tide a stop on your beer tour of Portland!

Snazzy vibe, comfy space, fun beertender. Gnarly beer, especially the Cutter.

Really laid back, nice guys. Super good beer. Try the MITA.

Outdoor seating with heaters, music, tasting flights and a pizza food truck...fun date night outing.

Fantastic local brewery. new location downtown. German style ales - everything is delicious. You can't go wrong.

Perfect spot for dogs, social distancing, and oysters!

Nothing negative to say here, the oysters and beer are delicious. They are super dog friendly. And have juice boxes for the kiddos.

Great place. Awesome vibe. Joe gives s great tour and his passion is infectious. Plus great beer.

Very friendly. Great beer. Open air setting. Great T-shirt design.

Enjoyable venue, easy parking, nice location, friendly staff. Next time I'm in Portland, I'd be happy to come here and enjoy some good beer.

We had the Welcome Party for our wedding weekend at Rising Tide. The beer was (of course) awesome, the space was perfect, our guests loved experiencing Portland, and all the staff were easy to work with and good at communicating throughout the planning process!

Awesome atmosphere. Great people. Best we
Waiter (kit) best bar tenders (robby & kasey) best service fun times

Went on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't too busy. There was a lot of outdoor seating and a small food truck. Enjoyed the flight of beers I split with my husband. Our favorite was the Pisces. Would definitely recommend as a good spot to kill a free afternoon. The bartender, Josh, was really nice and helpful.

Couple of corn hole games, food truck, and tap room made for Great time

Really enjoyed the atmosphere here at rising Tide. Very friendly and very clean and easy to find.

They have an awesome selection of specialty brews. There is plenty of seating inside and out. A fun place to come and hang out!

Monica is hands down one of my favorite bartender's in Portland. She is rad and Cutter may be my favorite beer. Just sayin

Very good spot to taste some solid brews. Relaxed, laid back atmosphere, the way it should be.

Clean, organized, safe and a great local spot to enjoy delicious beer.

Rising Tide has a great, open atmosphere. We really enjoyed being able to have the warm summer breeze flow through the bar area. The selection of beers was amazing. I really enjoyed having a "flight" (4 samples) of beer to sample before deciding on a full size version. I'll be going back!

Great spot in Portland! Outdoor space with seating and cornhole. Awesome beer and always a good time.

Great beer and great atmosphere. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, there was cornhole, a food truck, live music, and free tours. We got a flight and the beers were very good. It seems like it can get crowded on a nice summer day, so I'd try to get there early.

Good beer. The server I had was not the best. He ignored me for a good 10 minutes before taking my order. However, I still recommend getting a beer here

Stop by for a single beer or a sampling flight. Great brew offerings, outside seating with a food truck to satisfy your hunger. They also have corn hole available for you spot minded beer conisueirs.

Support your local independent brewery! Solid beers all around.

Loved this place! Thought it looked more chill than the brewery next door but would have tried both if we could. Shared 8 samplers with the BF and we enjoyed them all! Almost ordered a flatbread. Wish we had.

Good service, cool venue, dog friendly but wasn't a huge fan of the beers

Loved the place, beers, food. Bought one of their beer glasses.

This place is very cool.. Lots of choice microbrews, friendly staff.. And in the summer it's a great outdoor bar, which often has some good bands and excellent food trucks.

Loved the vibe at this place. Was a great brewery to try!

The young lady at the bar was awesome. Let us try several beers, ran up and down stairs for souvenirs, and was very KnOwledgeable. Great time.

Mocha beer flavor/ #4 was pretty good and we will be back

Great beers. Tried all 8 in a flight. Food truck and tables out the front. Popular spot and for good reason.

Great brewery, lots of seating and friendly staff. Has a different vibe from other breweries. I preferred the Austin street beers over this brewery.

Besides the beer being fresh, flavorful, and all around amazing. The staff made this place a joy to be at. The open air feel & design made us feel totally relaxed, and made it hard to leave. Makes me want to plan another trip to Portland already!

I hosted an event at Rising Tide a couple of months ago and had a great experience. There's plenty of parking and the space is great. The staff was extremely friendly and the beer was greatly enjoyed by all!

Enjoyed the food from Fish N Ship, great music from Vinyl Tap and most important is amazing Beer! We took a growler home with us!

Neat small brewery. Outdoor seating shared with the distillery next door. Beers are good. No food. They have flights. Good place to hang out for a while and try some beers.

Great beers and a fun atmosphere. You can play corn hole and sip on one of Rising Tides delicious and reasonably priced beer flights.

Good beer, nice atmosphere, lots of outdoor seating

We had a great time visiting here for the first time. The staff is really friendly and nice. We liked sitting outside listening to a live band they had (who sounded great, by the way). There's plenty of space to hang out and the vibe is relaxed and friendly. We'd return here on another trip to try what's new and enjoy the space. Bathrooms were clean!
