Fodor's Expert Review The Black Birch

This artful bar in happening Kittery Foreside district has an excellent selection of mostly local brews on tap, as well as a rotating menu of fun cocktails. Equally praiseworthy is its upscale-but-still-approachable pub fare, which includes buffalo fried oysters, ratatouille, and bar snacks like deviled eggs with pickled watermelon rind.
