Here on the Seacoast, there’s no shortage of cool places to enjoy a beverage outdoors! Whether you enjoy beautiful waterfront views, imbibing aboard a schooner, or keeping things relaxed in a backyard patio on the outskirts of town, there are plenty of opportunities to sit back, relax, and enjoy an ice-cold draft beer, a glass of bubbly, or a creative cocktail outside, from the quaint town of Kennebunk to the bustling decks of Portsmouth! 

Martingale Wharf | Portsmouth, NH

Home to the largest outdoor deck in Portsmouth, Martingale Wharf also boasts some of the prettiest views of the Piscataqua River! This downtown Portsmouth establishment is located at the end of what locals call “the decks”—a lively boardwalk of outdoor restaurants and watering holes in downtown Portsmouth that hover above the river. We love that Martingale Wharf extends the outdoor season as long as possible with heat lamps, fire pits, and cozy blankets for chilly fall nights by the water!

Batson River | Kennebunk, ME

We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this new Kennebunk treasure. Batson River is first and foremost a local Maine brewery and distillery that offers so much more than what it may suggest—we’re talkin’ delicious food, games, and an unforgettable atmosphere! 

No detail is overlooked at Batson River—from the musky candles in the bathrooms and the vintage canoe hanging from the ceiling (a beautiful rustic, touch if you ask us!), to the basket of red fleece blankets on the deck just in case you get a little chill while dining outdoors. Open year-round, Batson River is a great place to hang out with friends (hello snowy evening or laid back holiday fun) and play games in the cozy upstairs area fit with darts, an extra-large scrabble board, and extra comfy seating options! 

If you visit Batson River during the warmer months, be sure to snag a seat on the outdoor patio, deck, or upstairs porch—there are plenty of options and all come with beautiful views of the bustling downtown areas! 

TIP: If you’re not in the mood to imbibe, request a mocktail with some of your favorite flavors—they’ve been known to craft some pretty incredible concoctions!
