some people in these reviews clearly are not of the upper echelons of society who appreciate bubbas for being the best place to get down aside from a spacetrip to mars. Sorry to all the sourpusses, please stay in the old port. Bubbas for life! All it takes is a sweet disco shirt to get in free on fridays, maybe a positive attitude at the door...
80s night isn’t the fun time it used to be, it’s just a power trip for the door staff. My friends and I showed up looking like extras from ‘Stranger Things’, some of us in outfits we had successfully worn in before, but the door guy said we had to pay. When we countered that we were dressed for the theme he said that all of our outfits either weren’t the right decade or weren’t involved enough, and that if we didn’t like his ruling then we could leave. Yet the guy in line before us got in for free wearing a 70’s polyester button up, cargo pants, and skate sneakers. Where‘s the consistency? Did 80’s night change to a combined disco/90’s night that was never announced?It also feels like half of the music played on 80’s night is actually from the 90’s, so the whole 80’s theme is pointless.2 stars instead of 1 because the drinks are still good, the light up dance floor is still as fun as ever, and the newer bathrooms are a great addition.
Very cool spot for people that love antiques and shaking their a**. A novel experience for sure.
Retro bar, Friday nights are 80's night. New restrooms-big improvement!! Great music! Bring cash or there's an ATM.
Meh. The back bar bartenders do a great job and iit's a good place to dance and people watch. It has a strange musty smell and I would dread seeing the inside in full light. I feel as though it hasn't been deep cleaned since 1989. Can be fun if you go with the right people. Security is definitely not trained very well. It's obvious they lack the proper skill sets, the door guy seems to be the exception to this though.
The bouncer is on some sort of power trip. After showing a valid ID/drivers license they would not allow us in. The bouncer admitted to not being able to check fake IDs so I would not be surprised if they let underage people in. This place is sketchy & the bouncer was completely unreasonable & rude. I would never go here or recommend anyone to go here
What can I say, this is LITERALLY Maine. Antiques and young peeps dancing. Definitely check out the THIRD LIGHT-UP DANCEFLOOR!!!
Best place to drink dance and sweat! Always a great vibe !
So fun, 80s night! I think danced every song. Would have liked to hear some edgier mor alternative songs also. The Cure, new order,. the cult, prince, psychedelic furs
There is no better place to dance than bubbas! I love that both young and young at heart all have a grand time together! The music is great and the bar service is top notch!
