McKay's Public House

I was going to eat at a different restaurant, but they were booked up. So we ended up here. And honestly, I'm glad it worked out the way it did. This was the best restaurant we ate at in Bar Harbor. It has a superb atmosphere and delicious food. It's also quite reasonably priced. My whole family loved this place. Give them a try.

Vegetarian options: The winter squash was incredible! The winter salad and stew both looked very tempting.

I’m not sure why this place gets dinged in reviews, we thought it was quite good. Wonderful outdoor dining space. The service is very good. We ordered crab cakes 4/5, Caesar salad 4.5/5, Gulf of Maine Salmon 4/5, Truffled Seafood Risotto 4/5, and sticky toffee pudding 5/5. Good adult beverage options

My Lobster and Oysters were good. My partner’s clam chowder was awful and the fish and chips were the worst. I will say the waitstaff were accommodating and tried to make it right.

Great, friendly service, and the seafood risotto was delicious!
