Batson River Brewing & Distilling - Kennebunk

A cozy little brewery/distillery. The food & drink menu may be minimal, but the flavor is certainly not. The drinks are mixed well by knowledgeable bartenders. However, the food was the show-stopper. Order the duck fat cornbread. Just do it. We ordered a variety of apps, and every single one was delicious. We visited in the off-season, but they still delivered great service and quality. Outside are 5-6 little private "ice fishing huts," where you can sit with a group of 4-6 people for an extra hourly rate. I will definitely visit again in the summer.

Really nice bar and bites place. The atmosphere is a bit different from the surrounding NE fishing village vibe down the street. Although the appetizer Cajun fries were nothing special the drinks, cornbread, and Mussels were fantastic. I would highly recommend for the cocktails if nothing else.

I came to the Wells, Maine location. Heather greeted me and seated me at the bar with a drink and food menu. Peter was my bartender and waiter. He suggested the Strawberry Basil Cosmo with the house made vodka. It was perfect. Me being from New Orleans it had the right amount of vodka🤫. I ordered the smoked haddock chowder, garlic + chili wings, and the glazed carrots. Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable. I enjoyed my pre-birthday dining experience!
