This is the second time I've been here. Absolutely love it! The live music was great tonight. Had some lemonades, the Lamb Burger with their russet potato fries and honey mustard, and got an appetizer. Ordered the small serving of Irish Nachos and then added corned beef. My new favorite appetizer. I've had the Irish Quesadilla too, but I think the Nachos are better. Good parking, great service. Can't wait to try more items!

Nice to have her back and the place open again.
We have been going to this same location since Jane opened it as Sullie's Pub & Grill many years ago. It was smaller and excellent then and it is much bigger and nearing excellence again, having just opened a month ago.
She ran the original pub in a single family home converted into a restaurant and bar. The food was excellent and we brought many a friend a relative to dine there. Sometime, in the early teens she sought to expand the place, ran into a bunch of hurdles, we believe, and she moved on. Then Woody's took over and expanded the restaurant and parking lot. Covid took its toll and Woody moved on, and another owner operated it with the same sports bar atmosphere. It languished when he could not staff it.
Now Jane is back in the saddle again. Renovations have been made, the interior spruced up, and a bit of a woman's touch has been added to the place, as well as an Irish flavor to the menu choices. The addition, which was never fully utilized by the interim operators has now been converted to dining space, which I suspect will be fully utilized once the word gets out, the weather improves, and the summer tourist invade Maine again.
Our first meals were good, our subsequent ones even better as the opening kinks were worked out. Funny story: my wife thought they messed up her Haddock Rachel sandwich and they had given her a haddock dinner instead. As it turned out, on closer inspection, the piece of haddock was so big, it completely obliterated the normal sized bun beneath it.
Last but not least, the wait staff and bartenders are very pleasant and accommodating and Jane can be seen pitching in
We look forward to many more IPAs, Margaritas, and fine meals at 38 West. We have no qualms about bringing family and friends along when the occasion arises. We wish Jane and her team all the success and accolades that they deserve. "Laughter is brightest where food is the best". Slainte!

We gave 38 west a try. The service was great . The atmosphere was great. TV'S all over so we could watch sports. Clean. Our drinks were very well made. Our food ( mine haddock sandwich with onion rings, my husband haddock and scallops fries) was cooked very well. Fresh. They had a sign on the door to let people know that kitchen help was short, so some items were not available. I appreciated that. Not a big menu. Give them a try. Local restaurant. I recommend it.

Our new favorite spot! A must have appetizer is the spicy mussels, followed by the land stuffed mushroom caps. it was hard to choose what to try, it all sounded good! Great local beers on tap, the Lollipop wild blueberry sour ale was my favorite. We will be back for sure!

Not taking to-go orders 🙄 Not what you want to hear when you're craving hot wings and you finally found a place nearby that says they have them and also does take out. Makes me want to go, sit down, order, then request a doggie bag because seriously...what's the difference?!?!

I was here with my mom on mother's day. This place was great. The food was good. The place was nice and clean. I also noticed that the owner, Jane, (who was bartending) was one who cares about good customer experience.
The previous restaurant in this building (Woody's) was good while while they lasted. This new place (which was bought back by Jane) is definitely a good spot to dine as well.
This was our 3rd time here since early March. I have never not finished a plate. Every meal was excellent the drinks stiff but not too strong. The place was clean and friendly and they remembered us. I think the woman behind the bar was the owner or at least the manager but she was amazing the only way she could have been more busy was if she was spinning plates, but she always got us fresh drinks before they were empty. Thumbs up!

Food was good but everyone in the group remarked how uncomfortable sitting is. We are tall but not large people. Just thought restaurant should know this.
