These days, there are plenty of places to enjoy outdoor dining here in Maine. From igloos to fire pits, local restaurants have gone out of their way to make sure that people can continue to enjoy a meal out without having to feel uncomfortable or cramped inside. One of our favorite versions is what this local brewery and distillery has created!

Batson River Brewing & Distilling in Kennebunk might sit in the most quintessential Maine part of town! Overlooking the water and close to the center of town, there's a lot to love about this place.

From now through the winter you can enjoy dining in a typical Maine fish shack! These look just like the ones that you'll see all over the state on lakes and ponds throughout the winter. Each shack can seat up to six people, which makes it perfect to visit with your household or those in your pod.
