Host An Event

The Foreside Tavern, Side Bar, Outdoor Patio and Fireside Room all offer a variety of unique options for planning an event or special celebration. We are able to host birthday and holiday parties, bridal or baby showers, rehearsal dinners, retirement parties, or even a “Just for the hell of it” event. No matter what the celebration, we are able to use one of our four seated areas to provide the perfect atmosphere to meet your vision. Our Fireside Room is great for private functions filled with comfortable leather furniture, a cozy fireplace, and a 60-inch HD TV that can be great for watching big games or commemorative slideshows or video.  The area can comfortably accommodate parties up to thirty-five people for a sit down dinner and forty for a cocktail event. Call us at 207-781-4255 to discuss your next event.

Event Menus

We can customize our menu to meet the individual needs for any event.  You may order off the menu, tailor your menu down, or pre-order for your gathering.  To be inspired, we have listed below a selection of appetizer platters and passed hors d'oeuvres that you can choose from.

Each party will be priced out individually, based on the needs of your function. For parties that will last more than 1.5 hours, we require a minimum of $600 to be spent inside the room which can be accomplished any way the host chooses, (i.e. a host check, individual bar tabs etc.) so that we may properly staff the event and have prior knowledge of the estimated volume of food and beverage that will be required to satisfy your event.  During the holiday season, (December & January) or if renting the patio, the minimum requirement is raised to $800. If your actual bill does not reach the minimum, the remaining sum will be added onto your check.  After planning your party, a contract will be written by the Foreside Tavern to be reviewed and signed by you so that all parties involved have a clear understanding of what is expected. A gratuity of 18% will be added to your final bill.

We are confident that the food and service will speak for itself and, in the words of one happy patron, you will "host an event at The Foreside Tavern again in a heartbeat."
