About this business

The Great Lost Bear has become a Portland institution since opening in 1979. The "Bear" is located about two miles from Portland's touristy Old Port but well worth the journey across town to the Mysterious Woodford's Area. The Great Lost Bear features an enormous eclectic menu with something for everyone: from hearty, spicy junk food to a large vegetarian selection, from steaks, salads and All American Burgers to award winning, wicked gooey desserts... all served in an entertaining atmosphere.

Fantastic burgers and a great beer selection! I come here every time I visit Portland, the staff is friendly, atmosphere is relaxed and there is always a great bar crowd.

First trip here. Food was great, drinks were good. The guy behind the bar was very friendly, however the girl working the bar was just plain rude. After being asked if we wanted a menu, my friend told her That it was my first time there, to which she responded “I just need a yes or no” I’m hoping this was a fluke, despite it being wildly uncalled for. In either case, I did enjoy the place, and do plan for to visit again, hopefully with a different bar tender.
