Alisson's has been a fixture on Dock Square since 1976, making it one of the most enduring establishments in Kennebunkport. The bar is long and well-stocked, the atmosphere is genuine (a rarity right on the Square), and it attracts a mix of locals, summer regulars, and first-time visitors. Good Maine craft beers on tap, decent pub food, and a room that doesn't try too hard.
The outdoor deck is popular in summer evenings. Service is consistent and unhurried. It's the right place for a beer after a day at the beach, or for a casual dinner that doesn't require a reservation two weeks in advance.
