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.

Went to Portland for the weekend, after reading Charlie Parker's description of the beat had to go the book does not do justice to this place. Great food, great beer, and the staff went out of their way to make you welcomed. A big thanks to bartender Mary above the rest and one of the best!!!

Fun atmosphere, great food & vegetarian friendly. I'm not old enough to drink yet but I'll be coming here on my 21st for sure ;) They have so many beers on tap- many from local breweries. I get the fish & chips often which is always great, and comes with such a big portion that I end up sharing with someone or taking some home. I always leave satisfied.
