Stopped in here for an after-dinner drink on a chilly Saturday night and couldn't have asked for a warmer, more inviting atmosphere. It's definitely a cozy environment - the tables are pretty close together and the space is small - but that only adds to the close-knit, local feeling of the bar. The ambiance was completed by a talented local performer doing an acoustic set with lots of familiar tunes on the setlist. We kept it simple and ordered a couple of Guinesses and ciders, sat back, and enjoyed the evening and the conversation.

We spent so much time here on our weekend trip to Kennebunkport because it felt like home! Such a welcoming bar with incredible and true Irish staff. A lot of beverage choices and live music. The outdoor patio is a great hangout spot.

I give this a 4.5. Might be a little biased with the last name, but the waitress came right too us was wicked friendly and the beer came out fast. We put up a dollar to add to the traditional which is very cool. Very welcoming and recommend. Only downside I'm sweating my balls off. #GoRyanGo

Ryan's is THE spot in Kennebunk. Classic Irish pub feel on the inside and a beautiful patio with lots of outdoor seating. It's definitively casual but classy enough to bring the whole family; you feel comfortable and welcome. Phenomenal food and drinks (10/10 recommend the chocolate hazelnut martini) and friendly, attentive service. We visited on a weekend when they had live music and the energy was magnetic. We walked around the whole town but kept coming back to Ryan's because no other place compared. Long after other businesses had slowed for the night this place kept drawing people in and the party was still thriving when we left. If you want good food and a good time in Kennebunk, Ryan's is it.

Love this place! Very cozy bar/restaurant and a great find in the off season. They've got dollar bills pinned to the walls - and they offer magic markers and thumbtacks for anyone who chooses to leave their mark. The beers are delicious and the food was great. We loved the potatoe skins with cheddar, bacon and other good things. The fish and chips were were excellent and the chicken tenders satisfied our younger diner. My husband noticed someone having the bangers and mash at a nearby table and wants to go back before we leave Maine. The wait staff and people in the bar were warm and friendly. Highly recommend.

Whenever I am in Maine, I make it a point to visit this establishment. We love the fish and chips. Service was good. Food was good. If you eat here or stop for a drink do not sit at the top of the steps. The smell of grease will stay on you all day. They prepare the food downstairs and must not have good ventilation. It is best to sit outside when the weather allows. Sit by the front door if eating inside so you stay out of the path of the grease fumes. Staff is friendly. We will visit here again when we can eat outdoors.

What a cozy charming spot! The ceilings are low but I'm 5'2 so fine for me! Men over 6' were ducking! There are dollar bills everywhere. Service was great. I had French onion soup. Piping hot savory onions and yummy cheese. My son had fish and chips. Fish wasn't seasoned well but the fries. The fries. So crispy and yummy. Give it a try!

Authentic Irish pub! Great food & service. Try the house made bread pudding and don't forget to add your dollar bill to the decor!

Absolutely loved this Irish pub right in the he heart of downtown. Large outdoor tent right in front for extra seating, we however sat right at the bar. Smaller L shaped bar only 10 seats but so cozy. Bartender has been there since the beginning. She was so nice, lots of locals in here. I went with a harp draft. So delicious, gel like was back in Ireland! The entire small pub is decorated with signed bills. Lots of fun flair in this place.
