The Portland Hunt & Alpine Club

"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

"Briana Volk, co-owner of Portland, Maine’s Hunt and Alpine Club, is a parent of two young children. Volk’s restaurant started seating guests outside in May 2020." - Kristen Hawley

"As the owner of Hunt + Alpine in Portland, Maine, I’ve worked hard to communicate with our staff of 12 front- and back-of-house employees to keep them informed on how the pandemic impacts personal safety, the business’s finances, and, particularly, how it affects their lives." - Andrew Volk

"The Portland Hunt + Alpine Club in Portland, Maine closed on March 16, two days before the official order came from the government: The cocktail bar is only 2,500 square feet and was designed to fit roughly 60 customers close together; social distancing was out of the question." - Tove Danovich

"The Portland Hunt and Alpine Club is somewhere between a restaurant with great drinks and a cocktail bar with excellent food, and as a result, it works great as either. This Scandinavian spot near the Old Port serves small plates and snack boards, which include things like gravlax, Swedish meatballs, and parmesan and green chili popcorn, the latter of which is reason enough to come here. Cocktail-wise, they take their drinks very seriously and the bartenders will happily walk you through their extensive cocktail list, or make something custom for you. If that’s not enough, there are more than 60 different whiskeys you can try too." - Team Infatuation
