Portland's formal entertainment possibilities range from the tiny and adventurous Mad Horse Theater Company at 92 Oak St (tel 207/828-1270,
) up to the large productions at the Portland Performing Arts Center, 25A Forest Ave (tel 207/774-0465,
). Maine's biggest gigs take place each summer roughly ten miles south of Portland at
Old Orchard Beach
. The free
Portland Phoenix
has weekly listings of local events.
Fore Play Sports Pub 436 Fore St tel 207/780-1111. Popular sports bar with acres of pool tables, darts and enough TVs to satiate the most ardent sports fan. Gritty McDuff's 396 Fore St tel 207/772-2739. Portland's first brewpub, serving food and their own Portland Head Pale Ale and Black Fly Stout at long wooden benches. There's sometimes folk music, and the friendly (if a little self-consciously British) atmosphere gets rowdy on Saturday night.
Three Dollar Dewey's
241 Commercial St tel 207/772-3310. Raucous beer hall, with a wide selection of draft beers and good food. Other useful information
