"A Scandinavian‑style cocktail bar credited with helping launch the city's cocktail scene in the mid‑2010s; the Bone Crusher, described as spicy and smoky, is cited as a perennial favorite." - Stasia Brewczynski
"The Experience at Portland Hunt + Alpine starts with a toast from some of the most knowledgeable bartenders in the city:If you're going to lie, lie to save a friend If you're going to cheat, cheat death. If you're going to steal, steal a pretty girl's heart. And if you're going to drink, drink with me" - Mainelyseo

"As the owner of a Portland restaurant and cocktail bar, I used my platform at Portland Hunt + Alpine Club to share favorite industry haunts and must-eat picks beyond the city; the note identifies the venue as a restaurant and cocktail bar in Portland, Maine and positions me (Briana Volk) as the guide for those recommendations." - Eater Staff

"Since beginning outdoor seating in May 2020, under co-owner Briana Volk (a parent of two), the restaurant has seen a marked increase in family diners; staff have been trained to better interact with young guests and the venue uses simple, practical touches — like offering free apple juice to children while parents look at the menu — to make the space more welcoming and easier for families to enjoy dining out." - Kristen Hawley

"I sample Portland Hunt & Alpine Club’s smoky-tart bonecrusher cocktail for a restorative, spirited interlude before dinner." - Stasia Brewczynski
