We were looking for a place to sit outside in Portland where we could enjoy some NA drinks and Paper Tiger did not disappoint! The service was incredible and the drinks (we ordered the Dr. No and Good Day DEMA) were extraordinary! That Dr. No was phenomenal!! Fun menu presentation, as well. Alcohol-free options.
We stopped here after doing an escape room to grab some drinks. The food looked so good that we decided we needed to try some. The coconut wings were amazing and I would highly suggest them. The oysters were described to me as"better than Eventide" so I would say that's pretty high marks. The fries and the banana lumpas were both very good and I wouldn't hesitate to get them again.The drinks were all good but if I came back I'd probably get one if the shared drinks, they looked really fun.
It’s a cool small place to hang out in old port, staffs are nice and the drinks are good, food is not bad. The Brussels sprouts is tastiest
Bar staff was friendly, engaging, and seemed excited about the menu. Burger & fries were great. Drinks were fun as well!
This place it’s my new favorite place in Portland, Maine!The food it’s delicious, fresh, unique and innovative.The staff is very friendly and super chilled, yet very professional and on top of things.The place is hip and relaxed but edgy and it has a nice ambiance.Definitely recommend it!
The food here is absolutely unique and delicious! I had oysters, whole sea bass (stuffed with rice), green beans with feta, eggplant ... each dish distinctive and perfectly prepared. It's got to be one of the best restaurants in Portland.
Apparently no relation to the amazing Paper Tiger in Austin, the first thing it has going for it is that all it has to top is a Five Guys and some ill-fated lobster shack thing that previously held the space.We popped in on an off-season weeknight so were able to sit at the bar. I can tell they have been extremely busy out of the gate for a couple reasons: the staff was "curt" and direct and it wasn't so much a casual bar seating as, "you sit here", both of which I'm sure were from dealing with busy nights and trying to utilize all seats before it gets that way. We moved to a window seat which is prime people watching on Fore Street.Anyhow, brass tacks. The drink menu is creative, fun, and delicious and I appreciate a $12 average pricetag as opposed to $15. The raw oysters (Flying Point? Can't remember) were expertly shucked and very fresh/good. The roasted oysters I didn't enjoy as much but that's probably me. The Papaya salad (Tiger Salad) was interesting, felt healthy and refreshing and was pretty dang spicy. The fried chicken sandwich was expertly constructed and a nice take, especially with the bacon/mango jam. Fries, delish.What I really enjoy most about this Paper Tiger is that while many new establishments are relying on lots of small plates that leave you hungry after a $100 bill, here you can still get some of those, but you can also get a great sandwich, or an interesting entree, and the prices are not exorbitant for the quality and presentation of the food.
Spectacular food and super attentive service! And the drinks were awesome too. Truly a can't miss if you are in Portland.
This was the best bar I’ve ever been to. The staff are amazing, the drinks and food delicious, the atmosphere entirely unique. I’d come back to Portland just for this.
Cocktails are so good, the food needs a little more salt in my opinion. Definitely will try again!
