As another summer wraps up in Portland, Maine, the search for indoor activities begins as the weather cools outside.
Portland is home to museums, art galleries, movie theaters, concert halls, breweries and more. But you could make an argument the city needed a little something else to satisfy locals and visitors.
That something else may be a combination indoor mini golf course and sports bar. And it’s almost here.
Minibar in Portland, Maine, Sets Grand Opening Date
According to Portland Food Map, a portion of the old World’s Gym space at 265 Marginal Way has been built out to become Portland’s first indoor mini golf course within city limits.
It’s called Minibar and the owners have been working tirelessly for most of the year to get the highly anticipated spot ready for a grand opening.
That opening date is officially set for Thursday, October 16 at 3pm.
Minibar Will Serve As a Massive Sports Bar As Well
The other void is a sports bar. Since both Binga’s Stadium and Rivalries closed in recent years, sports fan in and around Portland haven’t had many places to congregate and watch a big game with friends.
Minibar will offer a large dining area with 32 televisions perfect for any and all sports viewing. Minibar will feature a menu with both classic sports bar offerings and some that have been slightly reimagined.
They’ll even feature Sea Dog Biscuits as part of their dessert menu.
Minibar Will Feature a Custom-Designed 18-hole Mini Golf Course
The top draw to Minibar for many will be their indoor mini golf course.
Minibar has put together an entirely custom 18-hole course that is themed behind the state of Maine.
Visitors can even book a tee time in advance to ensure they’re hitting the course exactly when they want to.
