Bangor’s timber past, set at the table

Bangor was the lumber capital of the world, with logs flowing down the Penobscot to ships bound around the globe. Timber translates that history into a modern dining room of many Maine woods, red flannel and firelight.

Work hard. Play hard. Eat better.

Our brick oven runs at 600 degrees

The signature oven cooks our flatbreads quickly, locking in flavor and leaving a light, crisp crust that can’t be duplicated. Gluten-free dough is available.

A room built of Maine wood

Multiple wood species run through the walls and furnishings, warmed by a woodstove, a custom bar, a communal table and a chef’s table over the fire. Private rooms host small gatherings.

  • The service was fast, the drinks were made very well, and the calamari was cooked to perfection. The ribeye was exactly what you would want.
