About The End of Portland Maine
The End of Portland Maine is easiest to recommend as a late-night Congress Street drinks stop rather than a food-led destination. Go for a flexible second round, a casual date extension, or a small group nightcap; cross-shop more defined Portland bars if the evening needs a clearer wine, beer, oyster, or lounge focus.
For The End of Portland Maine in Portland, the verified facts are limited but useful for planning: it is open until 1 AM every day, opens at 4 PM on most days, opens at 12 PM on Saturday, and lists a smart casual dress code. That makes it easiest to place in an evening itinerary when timing matters more than a detailed public profile.
Because no verified price range, cuisine, menu format, chef, awards, seating details, or service details are available here, the safest recommendation is to judge it by schedule and occasion. If your plan needs a Portland stop that stays open late, The End of Portland Maine is worth considering. If the decision depends on a specific food, drink, or budget expectation, confirm directly with the venue before building the night around it.
Use it when timing is the clearest priority
The strongest verified case is the schedule. The End of Portland Maine runs 4 PM–1 AM Monday through Friday, 12 PM–1 AM on Saturday, and 4 PM–1 AM on Sunday. That gives it a clear role for plans that may start later or continue after an earlier reservation elsewhere in Portland.
The smart casual dress code is also worth noting. Beyond that, the available verified details do not support claims about cuisine, a signature drinks program, a particular service style, or a food-led occasion. Treat it as a Portland venue to verify directly if those specifics matter to your group.
Where it fits in a Portland night out
Compared with more specifically documented choices, this is the flexible timing play. Readers building a broader itinerary should use the full Portland bars guide for alternatives, then branch into Portland restaurants, Portland hotels, Portland wineries, or Portland experiences if the plan needs more structure around the stop.

Value and atmosphere against nearby picks
The End of Portland Maine is the practical choice for a loose late-night round. Terlingua is the better fit when dinner and drinks need to happen together, while Oxbow Blending & Bottling makes more sense for a beer-led group.
Maine & Loire is the stronger pick for wine focus, and The Shop by Island Creek Oysters is the clearer call when oysters are part of the budget. AC Lounge suits travelers who want a polished hotel-bar fallback.
If this is not the right fit
Choose Terlingua if the night needs food built in, or Oxbow Blending & Bottling if the group is happier with beer as the main event. For a quieter, bottle-focused plan, Maine & Loire is the cleaner cross-shop.
How it compares for a Portland drinks plan
Pick The End of Portland Maine when timing matters more than a defined theme. Its 1 AM close every night makes it easier for a late round than Maine & Loire if the night is centered on wine shopping or a focused bottle conversation, and easier than The Shop by Island Creek Oysters if seafood is not the point of the evening.
For a more specific experience, choose Terlingua when food is part of the plan, Oxbow Blending & Bottling when beer is the anchor, or AC Lounge when the group wants a hotel-bar setting. The End is the lower-commitment call: useful for an easy late stop, less compelling as the only venue of the night.
