My boyfriend, his son and I went here for lunch on a Sunday. We sat inside and were told to seat ourselves, which we did. It was not crowded inside, yet it took almost 40 minutes to even be acknowledged that we were there (and that was ONLY after I got up and told someone). Another 20-30 minutes to get our food, which was sub-par and bland. People around us were leaving because they weren't being acknowledged or served. There was no organization at all. Our bill was much higher than it should've been for the amount & quality of food we got. As we were leaving, my boyfriend politely suggested to a manager that more staff or a better system would be helpful. He was completely ignored - no response at all. I realize this is Old Orchard Beach and many restaurants are going to serve mediocre food for insane amounts of money. But this whole experience was ridiculous & frustrating. Service was terrible, food wasn't good, drunk & obnoxious people were coming inside to use the restrooms. We had plenty of good meals at reasonable prices elsewhere while staying in OOB. This was definitely not one of them.

Buckets of liquor for $15 are pretty good. Mudslide was $12, it was delicious but way overpriced. Band music appealed to an older crowd with newer DJ music in between sets. Right on the beach which is cool but not my favorite place.

Not sure about the food..BUT..an absolute blast to go here and see a band out back any night of the week during the Summer!! LOOOVE this place. Will not miss it every Summer we're here!!

Four stars for the GREAT atmosphere. I loved walking down the stairs from the hotel, into what seemed like a beach party. Live bands play here, and the view is gorgeous. Due to the scorching sun that summer day, we opted to sit in a covered area outside. There's huge windows towards the beach that still give you the outdoor feel without the direct sunlight. The waitress was attentive and funny. The piña colada tasted amazing in the heat of the day. The lobster roll was good, not great. Lacked the hearty flavor that other ones have. The bacon wrapped scallops were also good but I almost burned my tongue off... my own fault. :) All in all, I will definitely come back to this place. We all had a great time!

NO AIR -CONDITIONING INSTALLED......... room was clean and cleaners were courteous. Room we were given was above the band and you HAD to have the windows open to get a breeze. TOO LOUD till 1 AM. Would not recommend unless it was in the winter..

Looking for a fun fabulous great time outside? Then this is the spot for you. Two outdoor bars. Dance floor. Live music outside and a dj inside;huge inside. Looks out to the ocean and you walk right in from the beach w sand in your toes and have some cold drinks. Good times!

This is a meat market for all ages. If you're looking for good looking women, good live music and an overall great time, then this is the place. Don't waste your time at any other bars in OOB, maybe the end of the pier is ok, but this place is a guaranteed good time. Parking is a problem, so getting someone to either drop you off or pay for parking would be the ideal situation. Staff are helpful enough and the place is run well. The bartenders don't really no how to make drinks but the owner employs hot chicks to pour drinks, not bartenders. Plus, you won't need good drinks to have a good time at this place.

I was here after the Beach Raid obstacle course race. They were a little overwhelmed by racers turning in free beer tickets. Most of those people had no cash or cards and so weren't buying anything else or evening tipping, so the staff could have been quite apathetic to those of us wearing race bibs. My team and I did order some appetizers and drinks not covered by the bib tickets. The drinks came fairly quickly, but there was a long wait for the food. Even so, the waitress was good about checking in on us and finally went back to the kitchen to make sure we got our food. It was a wait, but she did a good job under the circumstances. I'd be willing to go back because she was so good about everything.

have spent the odd Sunday afternoon here in the sun on the patio with live music and a cold beverage, and that to me is what summer in old orchard is all about . I f%&$ing love the place.

After our long drive up to Maine, we met my husband's family for a drink at the Brunswick. We have been here every summer for the last three years. I am not a huge fan of the atmosphere. I don't know why. Maybe it is just me. It is often crowded outside on the patio and it takes some time to get your drinks if you aren't pushy. It does have a nice view of the fire works on Thursday nights though.

If you're looking for a younger crowd "meat market" atmosphere, this is it. Nice beach and music on the deck. Don't bring young children here! You'll hear swearing and see public intoxication...
(3)Bradley F.
this place is disgusting. The view is great, but unless you go out until the wee hours, or drink enough to sleep through the riff-raff, expect to be up all night. My own family (who lives here) said, upon exiting the elevator: "Oh my, this is atrocious!" No balconies, thread-bare towels, horrible decor, just being here made me itch -- I'll give them a pass on the lack of balconies as they seem to be working on a fix.... better bet would be to spend a few extra dollars and opt for somewhere with a bit more class.
(1)S K.
Good service and value for the food and beverages. Had a good singer/musician playing the night we were there. Great views. The waitstaff was very conscientious and provided excellent service. The only remark is that the place is due for a bit of sprucing up.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but once inside, you can rent fully-furnished condos, facing the ocean, by the night or longer. The one we rented was excellent, and far less expensive than hotels in Ogunquit, Kennebunk, or Portland. The Brunswick also features "the largest patio on the beach," featuring drinks, light food, and music (on the weekend). If you do stay on a weekend night, be prepared to hear the music until 1:00 AM, so I wouldn't recommend it to families with small children or people who seek peace and quiet. However, if you want a reasonably priced accommodation on a lovely beach in a town that appears to be making a comeback, and you don't mind a little reveling outside your window, this place is for you.

Came here with the family for Dads old memories, great live music

Gay male. Walked to the water from the bar with my boyfriend and when we returned we were told we were not welcome back in. Hadn't had more than a couple drinks, it was 6pm. Asked why we were not welcome back. No reason given. The bouncer said not to make a big deal out of it. I said it was because we were gay. He told us the owner "said so". We found out later from workers there that the owner was blacked out drunk and saw us. It ruined our final night in Maine. Disgusted.
(1)Mike T.
Nice place to have a drink and listen to music. Not a fan of the food for dinner. High priced and can't believe they have you eating with plastic forks :). Come for a drink and go eat somewhere else.

This place really surpasses every single bar in the area, clearly working hard to achieve the goal of being recognized as the "#1The Worst Sh*thole In All of Maine." That isn't to say that Jimmy The Greeks down the road isn't working hard to be worse... but clearly The Brunswick is a cut above (or below, depending on how you look at it). What's not to hate about this place? The blaring, distorted music coming out of a stereo system that sounds like it came out of a '72 Pinto? The white trash, trying to outdo each other at being loud and obnoxious? The tiny, tiny overpriced drinks? The filth? The waitstaff that gives new meaning to the word "wait"? If you do go here, just try not to stick to anything...
(1)Christine B.
Not impressed at all! Ordered buffalo wings and a couple drinks at the bar. Girls behind bar and waitresses were far more interested in dancing with each other than to make sure customers were taken care of. Wings were rubbery and undercooked. They asked for a card to put down to start a tab...we did, then paid in cash. Next day we see our card was charged! Called asked for manager and they told me they were too busy and i'd have to call back later.....thumbs down!!

If all the Quebecois in OOB can be found on the beaches rockin' their speedos and knee-high socks, then all the loud and pushy Masshole's can be found drinking at The Brunswick. But The Brunswick's patio scene is so much more than that. It's also the meeting grounds for every leathery-faced, sex-deprived cougar and - on the flipside - every overeager and desperate young twenty-something in the area. The cover bands VERY LOUDLY play everything from AC/DC to Maroon 5; the bartenders are rude and inattentive (unless, that is, you're a male Masshole paying by cash); the drinks are weak and expensive; the food is bland and overly fried; the crowd is sometimes so thick, you can't even walk through it unless you're craving an elbow to the face or ribcage by shirtless bros or divas with too much eye make-up upset you're pushing past them; and the parking is a million times worst than Boston and Portland combined. (Seriously, watch an episode of MTV's Jersey Shore... that's 100% what this place is like). But the view here rocks. And the experience is one of a kind (I do mean that sincerely; I'm glad I've had the chance to check this place out a few times, but truthfully the only time it was bearable was when I was completely hammered off pink-colored rum drinks). But if you're in the area for vacation and coming to this OOB "destination", this is everything you either a) already know or b) want to be a part of. After all: what happens in the Oooohb, stays in the Oooohb. Right?

I had heard mixed reviews.... but because late night eating is limited in Maine I was stuck trying this place. I made several critical errors. 1. I ordered take out. 2. I drove over to the place to get the take out. 3. Ordered their famous claim chowda. 4. Expected them to have a clue. When I showed up there was absolutely no parking, so I parked in a tow zone. *gasp*. I went up to the door and the staff had no idea where I would go to pick up the takeout. Really?? You work here! After checking the upper and lower bar I finally found my food. But that was not before a 6 minute wait of standing at the bar with three bartenders NOT serving people basically ignoring the person standing there who clearly was not in clubbing clothes. Got the food and headed home, not before fighting with the newly established parking lot dude who tried to scold me on my parking choice. Got home and cringed. The soup was loaded with stuff but it was so watery I was leary of it. No where near what I would consider decent chowda. My girlfriend ordered the chicken teriyaki sticks. She took one bite and spit it out. They were so salty I was thinking about hanging them outside for salt licks. The chicken parm sandwich was sad. The sauce looked like it had been sitting all day and the 'chicken' was a slab of a frozen disaster. Now to the salads. The house was decent, but it's hard to jack up a salad. The Greek was ok.... but as I got to the bottom of the salad the lettuce was not fresh by any standard. All in all... don't go there for the food.

Not you bad of a place. Mostly live bands that play. I really recommend the outdoor patio can't beat the outdoors & ocean!! Not a very big dance floor kinda crowded. The drink are sooooooo expensive and kinda weak. Def. Pre game prior to catch a buzz.
(3)E L.
If you are staying in Old Orchard Beach, it's worth having a meal here. The lobster roll was tasty and the staff is friendly. They have live music many days on the large patio which is nice. Easy spot to stroll in off the beach. We went 2x during the day - can't vouch for the scene at night.
(4)Angie M.
Where to begin. I suppose since it was winter I can give a little leniency but really, this place was terrible...because of the employees! I just checked my bank statement and see they charged me $15.50 for 1 drink! Unbenonced to me, when I paid with my debit card they are allowed to add whatever tip they like on it ($3.00)? For one drink! I would have never given that much...especially since the bartender was rude and didn't say one word to me. The bouncers were also not very friendly considering it was winter and there was hardly anyone there. We were there for a bachelorette party and let me tell you, do not go there if you want to have any kind of bachelorette party fun! They stare at you like you are crazy...no thank you! They had a band which was fun...but that was it. F-

We didn't stay here but we did eat...and I'm so happy we did! We were going to eat at the restaurant next door but pulled in to the wrong parking lot. A guy came out and asked if we were going to eat at The Brunswick. We said we weren't planning to but asked how the food was. He said they had great food, live music, and the largest beach patio in the area. So we took our chances and after reaching the patio we were immediately happy with our choice. The place was packed but we found some seats. We were served ice cold coronas with limes and koozies right away and then handed a menu with a lot of amazing menu items. We choose the Haddock fingers with tarter sauce and a teriyaki chicken sandwich with waffle fries. Within 10 minutes our plates were empty. And the final bill after 5 beers was $44! We'd recommend this place to anyone coming to Old Orchard Beach. You'll find lots of young people drinking and old people dancing to some amazing live music.

Went here last Saturday night (8/25/12) and had a lot of fun. Really good band playing on the deck. Good drinks. We had a rum drink (I don't remember what it was called but it had 5 different kinds of rum and some fruit juices)...it came in a little miniature bucket that said Southern Comfort on it. It was so good. Don't let the price fool you ($14 for one) it's at least 2 or 3 drinks in one. Worth it
(4)Heather T.
The food was excellent but a bit expensive for a bar atmosphere - they charged extra for the fries but they were delicious. Not many beers on tap but good service. They have great hot wings and delicious lobster rolls done right.
