Commander Samuel Blyth and Lt. William Burrows
"The captain of HMS Boxer, Commander Samuel Blyth, was killed early in the action by a cannonball; had he lived he might have defended his ship more desperately, but it is not probable with more success. It was his fate now to receive like courtesy at the hands of his enemy. His remains, in company with those of the brave Lieutenant William Burrows, were brought to Portland, where they were interred with military honours in Eastern Cemetery. It was a striking and affecting sight, to behold two gallant commanders, who had lately been arrayed in deadly hostility against each other, descending into one quiet grave, there to mingle their dust peacefully together."
Customer Reviews
Love!!! Came here for a cozy girls night out, and even though we were dressed up for the winter chill (think beanies and blundstones) we didn't feel out of place in this well-appointed bar. Anna was spot on with her recommendations and so personable, and I'm still thinking about the drinks weeks later - it was absolutely a highlight for us in Portland.
One of the best drinks we’ve had in the states. Almost Japan level cocktails. First time having Tom Yum cocktail and the smoked whiskey was also fire. Proper ice program with clear branded cubes. Impressive bar and bottle collection. Please check this bar out if your in Portland
Hands down best service, drinks + bites of our long weekend in Portland. The space is moody with warm lighting but with plenty of plants and quirky oddities to give the space a fun personality. Our bartender was exceptionally knowledgeable about the drinks and every bottle on the shelf (thanks to her, found a new favorite gin in Barr Hill which is a VT based sustainable distillery who wants to save the bees! Me too). The bees knees was the best I’ve had and my husband’s drink, the Ship Captain Crew, was delightfully smoky. The Mussels Escabeche were transcendent. Highly recommend this spot to anyone with good taste.
Amei minha bebida super suave e perfeita, vai e legal, lugar muito pequeno então lota fácil difícil achar disponíbilidade de mesas ou bar
Wow, the staff and cocktails are amazing.
Terrific atmosphere, top notch original, inventive cocktails and great service! Highly recommend.
Happened upon this gem of a bar while walking in downtown Portland Maine on a rainy day in October! It just happened to be Wednesday at 4pm, so husband was able to snag a dozen delicious oysters for $1 a piece while I enjoyed a clarified cocktail, shrimp cocktail and some other snacks. A very special place to which we will return!
The Shanghai Nudes is an amazing cocktail! Bartender was very nice and attentive.
Great music and atmosphere to go with even better cocktails. We had wonderful oysters on the halfshell, crab claws, shrimp cocktail as well and would recommend those to anyone
Awesome bar. Great staff, very busy. Delicious, different and unique drinks. Go check them out. Tell em Barsnobs sent ya
I love this place. Excellent drinks (I'm a sucker for clarified cocktails) and a nice relaxed moody vibe.
I visited Blyth & Burrows on 2 separate occasions. The first time I went to the main bar and the second time I stopped into the Broken Dram. Both visits were fantastic. All of the cocktails I tried were delicious and inventive, the food was tasty, and the atmosphere was fun. The staff were talkative and excited to share their craft. If I visit Portland again, I will definitely stop back in.
