The editorial take
Angoor Wine Bar runs a cocktail program that refuses to stay in one lane: a Dirty Vodka Martini and Old Fashioned share the menu with a Vino Tinto Pina Colada, frozen rosé and a jalapeño-infused Sauvignon Blanc and Bacardi drink. The wine side is Maine's only self-pour setup, with 30+ wines from around the world poured in pre-portioned servings. Mocktails and N/A options are listed on the cocktail menu, and the space hosts private events for up to 100 with customizable menus and signature cocktails.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Old Fashioned, made with Woodford Reserve and garnished with maraschino cherry and orange peel, or the Dirty Vodka Martini if you want olive-infused vodka and brine. For something wine-based, the Spicy Wine Fusion pairs Sauvignon Blanc and Bacardi with jalapeño, pineapple juice and lime. Use the self-pour system to try wines by pre-portioned serving before committing to a glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a real cocktail list and a self-pour wine system in the same visit. The Puerto Rican and Indian inspired cocktails and tapas reflect the owners' backgrounds, so it suits anyone looking for those flavors alongside classic and frozen drinks. Groups planning a private event for up to 100 will find customizable menus and signature cocktails.
- When should I go?
- Good for a private event, given the venue accommodates up to 100 guests with customizable menus and signature cocktails. Otherwise, the self-pour wine system and the cocktail menu's frozen and wine-based options make it a fit for an evening drink.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Mini Prosecco bottles can be made into a mimosa for +$2. No other pricing is listed here.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Maine's only self-pour wine bar, with 30+ self-pour wines from around the world and pre-portioned servings. The cocktail menu is unusually broad, spanning classic, wine-based, frozen, and Puerto Rican and Indian inspired drinks. A private event space for up to 100 guests with customizable menus and signature cocktails adds another layer.
