Tailgate Bar & Grill

Great spot for an after work bite! Service is excellent. It's a cozy local spot that's been in Yarmouth for decades, just periodically changed names. I'm told there's a DJ and Karaoke on Fridays, though I wasn't able to stay for it.

Amazing place, food and service! We ordered a lot of pizza for my son’s birthday party and they made it so easy. I ordered and paid over the phone and my husband picked it up. Everyone at the party loved the pizza and we are so thankful they could accommodate a large order of take out pizzas! Thank you for helping my son’s birthday party go off amazingly!

Wanted to go out with friends and try something new…We are bar people. We like Cold Beers ,,Good Bar Food and Fun !!!! Well this place definitely did not disappoint!!!! The perfect local bar with friendly people and amazing service……Would recommend the Appetizer Sampler and Pizza both were very good….The staff was awesome and welcoming….I like too talk and meet new people. Well Brain & Sue the Owners were awesome !!!!! Its not easy to make a business successful in Maine….. But I can see why this one is. Great Nite with some new friends. May just be our new Hangout. 💯. Thank You all for A Very Fun Night !!!!

Classic dive bar - awesome community - fantastic open mic

Food was fantastic, and very reasonably priced. Good beer selection and again, prices were great. Nice lil bar and grill. Came on a Tuesday night on way to the Oxford casino.

Everyone is super kind, sue and Brian the owners make it clear to let them know if you have any issues or feel uncomfortable. Definitely feel like it’s a safe space to go out with your friends etc. plus it’s affordable. Love it

Tailgate is a great place to come and relax. A nice outside deck with picnic tables. Live music, karaoke, open blues jam, great food great people great fun

Went with a friend last night just to grab a drink, we were incredibly uncomfortable. The place was very empty, it was just us and a handful of older men who watched us the whole time. Two of the men were nice in a non-creepy way, but they left shortly after we got there. One of the old men was actually quite aggressive, touching my friend on her shoulder after she declined to shake his hand, and later pointing in her face and slurring that he was in love with her as he was stumbling out to his car. The whole place smelled like cigarette smoke even though no one was smoking. It wasn’t a safe relaxing space for my friend and I to catch up, and I was so embarassed that it was my idea to go there, off of a google search.

My husband and I were in the area and decided to try lunch here. When you walk in, you immediately think dive bar, and you're right, but that's not a bad thing! It was Blues Jam on Sunday and an older crowd of locals. Great music from several bands each playing a set. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful with drink orders and food choices. If you like cider, go for the Downeast Cider on draft - delicious and not overly sweet. Special on Sunday of $9 Bud Light pitchers. We mainly came in for lunch more so than for drinks. Another Sunday special is $.95 apiece wings. We got 8 extra crispy with the sweet chili sauce. Highly recommend! Main entree was a cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms, and peppers with side of onion rings, and hubby had a Reuben with sweet potato fries. The burger was small but really good. Onion rings were crispy and not greasy. The Reuben was crisp on outside with good flavor. Although the portions weren't huge, you couldn't beat the price at $9.95 per meal. Everything is made to order by Ron in the back. If you are in a hurry for your meal and not planning to sit around and drink for the afternoon, just tell your waitress and I'm sure things will come out faster for you. Would come back again!

Lots of fun, good food, great entertainment, friendly atmosphere, good drink, dance floor is to small and not enough seats , but still a good time

Nice local bar with daily specials. Friendly staff and ongoing trivia. Good pizza and decent prices

Came in for dinner and to play pool since website said they just put in new tables. Very nice tables and they were brand new. Had to settle for just a few drinks since sadly the cook fell on the ice earlier that evening. Met the owner who was very very friendly and the bartender was also very nice and helpful. Felt like a cheers type of place. We will be back to try the food and shoot some more pool

Great place to hang out with friends and listen to some of the best music that Maine bands has to offer. Tonight was my first night after many encouragement from hubby to hang out and listen to local bands. After a long week at work all I want to do was to rest and cuddle with the dogs. But I went and it turned out to be a great time with awesome music. Great place, and I am sure great foods. Next time I will be ready to order foods. Great atmosphere. Great seats. Great bands and no cover charge. Call to see the schedule of local bands .Support local business and local bands of Maine!

The best place to get a fancy cocktail And a 5 star burger. Great staff very friendly and a solid atmosphere.

This review is not of food, because after waiting 60+ minutes we got neither our appetizers nor dinners we ordered and had somewhere else to be. Now if it was busy, I'd understand, but I think it is more bad kitchen management as there was only one other table, who came in after us (15 min or so) but got their food (not sure how that happens)? Especially since we ordered our apps the minute we sat down. Will I go back? No, no, no

Stopped in for a beer and the bar folks were nice and kind. Beer was good and plenty of people having fun listening-to a B lies bar. NASCAR on the TV getting ready for game 7 Celtics vs Cavs. I'll come back here

The Pizza was absolutely terrible extremely salty and overpriced. The Calamari was prepared to order and came out soggy and Rubbery. By far the biggest disappointment of the trip. I WOULD AVOID THIS PLACE.

I'm being friendly here. Tailgate is like hanging out in your friends basement with booze and a pool table. It's furnished, but mom and dad won't put the good stuff down here because we going to mess it up anyway. It was supposed to be a man cave, but dad didn't finish it. So it's sorta done sorta not, but what the hell its a place to hang out. I will say, staff and people were interesting and made it worth going. They all were friendly and had stories to tell. The more drinks went around the more stories were told. I didn't eat so I have no idea about food. Prices were super reasonable. Games and pool were easy to jump on. Music, well I couldn't really hear because I was laugh by too hard as people kept telling stories. Wasn't the "cleanest", seems like it's seen a few bar brawls or late night parties. Easy to miss though, so keep your eyes out. Definitely say, if your going to be up this way, stop by and check out. Forget the margaritas, this is beer, shot, or rocks country. So saddle up, light your cig off the fire going on outside (in a barrel=awesome!) and hang out and stumble out! Just drive safe!

Excellent food, fabulous bartender, generous pours from well stocked bar. Will definitely come back for more & listen to the live music too.

Not very well managed. They've been caught putting cheap liquor in expensive bottles, adding unserved drinks to bar tabs, stealing tips, and cooking food at home to serve at the bar.

Coldest beer in town! Great food. Staff is friendly and always willing to chat! Pool tables, dartboard, pinball machine, golden tee and more!!! Check it out!!!

Good local bar...by far best bartender is Dustan...decent selection of beer and liquor. food is ok cheese fries are by far the best.

5 stars for the Sunday jam musicians, 1 star for the place. Dilapidated and neglected, go to the end of the bar and take a peek in the kitchen before ordering food - yuk. Also use your bathroom at home before going there, enough said. Staff very nice. In house owners not so much and lacking in pride. Its a dive, its kinda gross, go for the music, take your chances on the rest.

Website says opens at noon. We went for lunch on a Tuesday at 1:00 and were told kitchen didn't open until 3:00.

POW POW POW....Nothing like spending good times up north shredding the gnar, with great people. On our trek back to to little Rhody we need some kind of grub to fuel ourselves up. Driving on the route there wasn't much so we took a gamble on this place. Let me tell you....GREAT FIND. There is no place like home and this place made my friends and I feel right at home. Very cool hang out with pool tables and complimentary popcorn. They even have blues jams every day 4-8; however, we just missed the jam sesh. We were about an hour in our ride when we stopped at this tucked away location. The female waitress who waited on us was friendly, polite and very accommodating for my little nugget of a friend who had some allergies. I'm a HUGE pizza guy and had to go with the large olive and mushroom pizza. The pretty girl to the right of me opted for the smaller portion of that very same pizza. VERY CHEESY and i don't regret my choice in anyway. Another friend ordered some spectacular wings and we split on the BBQ chicken nachos. Another ordered the cheese bread and a cheese pizza (she's really cheesy sometimes). Lastly, the nugget ordered a salad (she's a plain Jane sometimes). Smiles all around the table because of the pleasant service and mouth watering food. Great spot to come and hang out with friends. I wish we had more time to stay here longer to enjoy the full experience. Next time I make the trek back to Maine or whenever I am in the area I will be sure to stop in. Don't let the chance to come here pass you by!

I love this place! Come here at least once a week (for trivia) and it's always great. The service is great, always friendly and quick. Food is delicious, never been disappointed. Recommend the Tailgate to all of my local friends whenever I can.

This is the best hidden jewel in the area. I live in old orchard and am now looking for excuses to come back up this way. Great staff, the kind of people you Maine is famous for. We had the bbq nachos- delicious and great portions. The outdoor area is great. Perfect stop for a beer and nice meal. I'm looking forward to checking out this spot at night- I hear there is great music and fun trivia nights. Looks like a good environment for it.

Great food! Great service! Great owner! Great music. Went in to check it out on a Sunday and the blues music was so good and the owner Sue was so nice we stayed for a few hours. Highly recommended for beer food and fun.

Did takeout from here on a Groupon. Initially it was a little hard to find the restaurant (it's in the back of the parking lot). It had a casual, homey feel inside and i was greeted by multiple people. It had a bit of a dive bar-vibe, so I'm not sure what it would be like later at night. I was given my pick up order promptly and we were very satisfied with our food. I was expecting basic pub grub, but our chicken fingers and steak sub were some of the best we've had in the area.

My two girl friends and I walked in and were clearly seen by the two female bartenders. We sat down, waited for a few minutes and finally grabbed our own menus. Realizing we were being blacklisted, I waited patiently at the bar while again being seen but ignored. Hungry without another nearby spot to eat I found out the bartenders name, addressed her, still had to wait and then bring our waters and will likely have to get my own food at the bar. If you want shit service at a place you've never been, come to Gray.
