Leary's

The owners live upstairs.

Leary's Landing has held down 156 Main Street, across from the Village Green, since 2007. Summer crowds come and go; the pub stays open every day of the year.

Cody and Lina Gordon run the room and live right above it. He was a bartender and she was a server when they met in Bar Harbor, and the place still runs that way, with the owners on the floor.

The kitchen makes plenty in house: fish chowder, lobster bisque, tomato jam, blueberry jam for the cocktails, and every hand-cut fry. Guinness braised lamb shares the menu with fresh Maine lobster and blueberry barbecue wings.
