Brewery Profile

Jack Russell's Steakhouse and Brewery / Maine Coast Brewing Co.

In Bar Harbor’s beer landscape, this is a restaurant-led stop rather than a brewery built only around a taproom counter. Jack Russell’s Steakhouse and Brewery operates as Maine Coast Brewing Co., and it has been part of the local dining scene since 1997. A visitor should expect the steakhouse identity to be immediately clear: the menu is centered on prime cuts of beef, with the beer program functioning alongside the kitchen instead of apart from it. The on-site brewing gives the restaurant a local-beer component, so the visit is less about touring a production facility and more about sitting down for a meal with house-made beer available at the same address.

Travelers spending time along the Maine coast often look for places that connect a regional stop with something brewed locally, especially after a day built around sightseeing, walking, or dining out in town. This operation fits that pattern by giving visitors a way to try beer made on-site without needing to separate the brewery visit from dinner. The specific beer lineup is not defined here, so it is best approached as a place to see what Maine Coast Brewing Co. is pouring at the moment rather than arriving for a named flagship or a documented specialty style. Its strength as a visitor stop is the direct pairing of house beer with a steakhouse menu, which makes it practical for groups whose main priority is a full meal.

For planning purposes, the known amenities are straightforward: this is a steakhouse that brews and serves its own craft beers on-site. Details such as current beer names, serving formats, hours, reservations, parking, outdoor seating, or brewery tours should be confirmed directly before visiting, because they are not established here. The taproom or restaurant bar is the place to confirm the day’s pours, and the dining room is where the broader experience is centered. Visitors looking for a standalone production-brewery atmosphere may find the format different from that expectation, while those who want a local beer with a beef-focused meal will understand the setup quickly. As with many restaurant-brewery stops, checking the current menu and availability before arriving is the safest way to match expectations to the day’s service.

Jack Russell's Steakhouse and Brewery, operating as Maine Coast Brewing Co., has been a fixture in Bar Harbor, Maine, since its establishment in 1997. The facility functions primarily as a steakhouse, offering a menu centered on prime cuts of beef. Alongside its culinary offerings, the location brews and serves its own line of craft beers on-site. This dual focus allows the operation to pair its house-made brews directly with its restaurant menu.
