What User likes about The Barnacle:
The Barnacle dishes and drinks were all I expected at Bar Harbor last night! The picturesque, clean room, the jazz music and the gentle lighting created a beautiful ambience for a drink (or a few! in the city). We have celebrated a wonderful week in Maine with our allagash beers, fresh port oysters and fun talks with new friends. View all feedback.

What James Kelemen doesn't like about The Barnacle:
Trevor, the bartender, turned away my friends and I with one glance, barely looking at us in the eye, and said they “didn’t have kids menus and crayons,” and that “tour groups are not welcome.” We are all 25+ and the majority of the group is Asian. Please do not patronize this racist, rude establishment where everyone is certainly not welcome. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 View all feedback.
