The Thistle Inn Pub is a place you really want to experience while you are traveling along the southern coast of Maine. You can still find the original bar that was donated by a local doctor back in the 1960's, and to this day is the focal point of the pub -- an 18 foot dory (boat) that actually sailed the waters of Boothbay at one time. Also of interest is an antique whale harpoon and an oar signed and donated by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1965.

Our pub is charming and with the addition of a large upholstered banquet, it is also very comfortable and can accommodate large gatherings. You will certainly enjoy our five tap brews including two specialty brews: Belhaven Scottish Ale and Guinness served with a Nitro push, giving it a very rich and creamy consistency. We have a full bar that includes a wonderful selection of Single Malt Scotch. Local musicians entertain guests most weekend evenings. Please call for details.

No 19th century pub would be complete without a resident ghost, ambling about. Ours is quite harmless and very playful -- usually limited to items being pushed about the bar and kitchen. We invite you to stop in, order a pint, sit back and see what happens!

Pub opens daily at 4pm
