498 Belfast Augusta Rd, Liberty ME 04949
“A gas station situated between a shop with the best ice cream in Maine (and beyond) and a brew pub with one of the better beers in New England. And a decent restaurant next door. The gas is usually lower in price than Augusta or Belfast and they always have clean windshield solvent for your glass. The store stocks essentials, but short on produce. There are not many stores in this area, but great beer and ice cream nearby make this a great destination stop. Stock up on your beer for Acadia while filling the tank. This Liberty "Metroplex" (Waldo County version) is all there is around here for a city center. Gas, pizza, beer, ice cream and a restaurant that serves fresh fish, all in one place.”
