We love! dog friendly Batson River Brewing! They also have an outposts in Portland and Wells but this spot was perfect after a beach day in Kennebunk! Staff was great! Family friendly and doggo friendly with food and craft cocktails for everyone. We will be back!

We'd heard from friends that this place was amazing but found it somewhat underwhelming. Beer was great, atmosphere is relaxed, but the smashed patty burger was a bit greasy and far too many fries (looked to be about three potatoes worth). Not much emphasis on the distilling side, but maybe the Kennebunk location is but the best of you're interested in that.

Beer is cold, food is delicious, and the staff are awesome! Beautiful patio view in a beautiful town! We always stop in for a beer when we are in the area.

The Nightmare Before Christmas was way better than expected. Apps were tasty.

Last Saturday we met family from out of town at Batson River for lunch and it was a fantastic experience. They sat us in a terrific spot that allowed for our 10 month old to walk around us while the adults could talk and catch up. Food was spot on and very much enjoyed our beers recommended to us. We will be back in the future!

We dined here for lunch on Saturday afternoon.They have a nice selection of beer and cocktails.We shared the Shishito Peppers, Duck Fat Corn Bread and the smash burger.Everything was excellent but my only complaint is that everything came out at once. It is very hard to eat when that happens and I prefer things to come more slowly- appetizers then mains etc.

Went there to have a holiday drink while taking in the lovely town of Kennebunkport. The drinks were good but when we got the bill I was taken aback. There is no mention of an upcharge for getting their inhouse liquor, You know the one they produce themselves. So we ended up with a $17 drink and a $19 drink. I had to go in just to get a server to help us and we still waited for quite a while to be served.

Place is currently all decked out for Christmas! Lots of fire pits to keep your warm on the deck. Inside is fully decorated and has the coziest of vibes. Drinks were tasty and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this spot.

1st time visitor - spent a day in Kennebunkport with my wife and wanted to try out Batson's beer. Didn't realize they were a distillery as well.Tried the Easternmost IPA and was very pleased!

Cool atmosphere. We had a few drinks in the Kennebunkport Batson. Staff were very nice, though they knew nothing about the alcohol made there. You have some really nice products, but staff needs to be trained and knowledgeable of the rum, gin, vodka, and bourbon. The bourbon was completely different to my pallet and they could not tell me anything about it. They were very nice and gave me a cheat sheet which explained to me why it tasted the way it did (wheat based). Train your staff and get 5 stars. A very cool place to relax and enjoy.

Decent food and cocktail but the blonde bartender was rude…I mean we spend $250 and we are nice…maybe just pretend you like your customers…she basically wanted us to leave so she could talk to her friend…go somewhere

Honest Review: we waited 40 minutes which was fine to tour downtown Kennebunkport and said we don’t mind sitting outside or inside. We arrived and was l directed immediately inside without being offered outside, and offered corner barstools and an unclean high top table. We took the corner bar stools. The atmosphere was Halloween which was fine, decorations were appropriate but somewhat child like and disheveled. Service took at least 15 minutes to get water only. In addition, they serve food on whichever comes out first so if you order apps and entrees together whichever is made first will come out first so I suggest ordering apps only then entrees. Cocktails are delicious. Wine is average. The barstool corner area where we were was so dark I couldn’t tell what I was eating or ordering without a flashlight on my phone. The food was average, the service was okay and the atmosphere wasn’t good.

I had heard recommendations to visit the Portland location. We didn't have time, so I was excited to see this location during our visit to Kennebunkport. My boyfriend and I stopped in for a few drinks. He enjoyed a couple different beers, and I enjoyed two cocktails - both were expertly crafted and well balanced! The "Night Creatures Call" came in a fun skeleton glass and was exactly as described - an adult chai latte. My favorite was the Potion No. 9 - a spin on a gin sour. Cocktails run about $15 each, pretty similar to what we're used to in CA. Must visit!
