The Best of NileGuide
- The Portland area's nightlife aptly reflects the high energy and urban sophistication of Maine's top commercial and cultural destination which features top notch Portland museums, including the world-class Portland Museum of Art. Here, it is possible to find a nightclub, lounge or bar that meets a diversity of tastes and interests. At the Space Gallery, you can muse over the dynamic visions of ground breaking artists while enjoying indie music and cocktails. Meanwhile, patrons enjoy the best in independent music at One Longfellow Square, a superb small concert venue. Portland's vibrant blues, soul and jazz scenes can be heard in all their musical glory at The Big Easy. Nearby, the Maine beaches region's legendary entertainment hot spots come alive in the busy summer tourist season. Inn on the Blues showcases top name blues and soul talent in York Beach while Jonathan's Restaurant features a plush, comfortable atmosphere and creative cocktails that nicely complement such headliners as comedian Paula Poundstone, singer Judy Collins and musician Leon Redbone who regularly perform at this Ogunquit landmark. The Union Bluff Pub, located within York's landmark Union Bluff Hotel, more than satisfies with the relaxing atmosphere of its comfortable lounge featuring craft beers and top shelf liquor, plush leather seating and fireplace. And at Federal Jack's in Kennebunk, beer aficionados can sip freshly brewed Shipyard craft ales while enjoying the pastoral views of the Kennebunk River. Music, great food and spirits, get a taste of Portland's nightlife.
