Blue Ox Saloon

This Saloon is a mini museum of all things Maine, a must visit if your from out of town!!! I had my first Maine milkshake ( milk and coffee liqueur) it was delicious 😋 I also ordered food to be delivered from Katadin Gen. Luckily the friendly ox owner had place mats, plates, silver wear, and dressing ( since KGen left out my dressing) The Owner, his dog Jack,and customers were all very welcoming. What a wonderful experience!!

Fantastic eclectic little bar. Tom is a classic! Tom's dog will sometimes roam around the bar and nudge you for a pat on the head. Just a cool place.

The Blue Ox Saloon, is a cozy small town bar. The bartender and patrons are friendly and willing to chat with people from out of town. The decorations make for an interesting backdrop. It's worth stopping in for a drink when in Millinocket, Maine.

Great little old fashioned bar. Complete with eclectic decor and plenty of stories from the owner and good 🍺 beer.

What a beautiful friendly place that looks after the customer with a friendly smile. Had the Honor to meet "Susan" one of the co-owners of the Blue Ox. The Hospitality of this place is above and beyond any bar or small pub/saloon. The place is a hid-a-way worth the trip to see and worth the time while enjoying the atmosphere.

Loved meeting Tom, the owner/bartender who's an all-around awesome dude. The Blue Ox was the only place in town open late, especially on Sundays/Mondays. I highly recommend anyone passing through the town to go check out the vibes and get a game of pool in! The Ox will not disappoint!

Tom, the owner/bartender, was just a pleasure to talk to and learn about all things Millinocket! This bar had so much small town charm and definitely was one of the highlights of our trip! We will definitely be back

Tom is a highlight of our trip to Millenocket. His hospitality is unmatched, and he’s so happy to chat and tell stories about the town and the history of the bar. The Blue OX has so much history and charm, if you’re coming through town you have to stop and meet Tom. We can’t wait to come back!

Tom does it right. He'll tell you all about the history about the bar and the building and the area. Definitely worth stopping by.

So you are up in Northern Maine looking to hang out at a friendly spot. Consider the Blue ox saloon. It's a friendly spot filled with charm and nice people. Think of The northern great lost bear ( for you southern maine folks). It's an eclectic combination of museum stuff ( they have a real cash register) and neighborhood pub. Bring cash though - they don't take credit cards. I was here during the eclipse and the place was hopping. I don't think it's typically this busy, but on this particular Sunday, it was packed. Nice bar, good hike box music, a pub of a gone by era.

My shoes brought me here.. they smelled the gin.. great place! Popcorn and conversation

Walked in, no other choices for dinner on a Monday night in Millinocket, and felt like I was making a mistake, but decided to stay for a beer. Had the ambience of a place long past it's prime, much like me. Struck up a conversation with the owner/ bartender who is a fascinating, entertaining and accommodating character. He convinced me to order a pizza from down the street and have it delivered to the bar, great idea! He moved to Millinocket from upstate NY twenty years ago and built the bar himself. He explained that Millinocket was the town with the highest per capita income and Budweiser consumption in the 1990's. So much so that the town was visited by the Clydesdales .... then the paper mill closed 12 years ago. Now it's a mixture of hard-on-their-luck locals, and those on there way to and from Baxter State park. Worth the visit just to talk to the owner. If Millinocket had a museum, he would be the curator.

Good spot for a beer! Dive bar with an outside fireplace. Pool tables are not level but neither was I ;)

Great atmosphere. Great prices and atmosphere. Probably my favorite bar in Maine. Most definitely best bar in northern Maine.

This place drips character. Atmosphere is very cool, Tom the owner is an incredible source of knowledge. If you are staying in Millinocket, this is the place.... Or do what we did and stop by on your way out of the park and have a beer

I've only gotten food from the Blue Ox once. I was working nearby and we decided to get a pizza. The owner was rude and the pizza was not very good. Mostly, the Blue Ox is a bar. Since I don't drink, it's not the sort of place that I'd go to anyhow.
