Geddy's

Geddy's is a casual seafood spot in Bar Harbor where locals and visitors pile in for straightforward, well-executed dishes. The room's kitschy nautical decor and fun signage set a lively tone, and the bar's almost always buzzing. Service is attentive even when it's slammed, and the beer list has some surprises (hello, blueberry infused).

• Steamed lobster and seafood pie both genuinely fresh.
• Fish and chips batter is light, crispy, well-seasoned.
• Clam chowder and blueberry pie are standout sides.
• Service stays friendly and attentive when crowded.

Start with the clam chowder, which balances richness without heavy-handedness. The steamed lobster comes with a buttery sauce that lets the meat shine. Fish and chips here have a crispy, seasoned batter that works. The lobster mini bake packs a lobster roll, chowder, and a blueberry tart into one plate. If you're staying for dessert, the blueberry pie with cream and ice cream is worth the space.

Bright, kitschy, and rarely quiet. The bar is a natural gathering spot, and the whole room hums with conversation and clinking glasses. It gets packed quickly, especially on weekends.

Expect a wait on weekends and busy evenings, especially in peak season. Come early, grab a seat at the bar if tables are booked, and don't skip the blueberry pie or the lobster stew.

Guests consistently praise the freshness of the seafood and the staff's efficiency under pressure. The lobster stew comes thick with meat, and the grilled haddock and vegetables are flavorful. One recent visitor called it a highlight of their Bar Harbor trip, though another noted it's better for a good meal and fun vibes than for being knocked out by the food.
