Weddings and Events
We love celebrating with our guests, whether it’s a wedding reception, a birthday party or a company celebration, our goal is to make your event special. For the past 9 years we have hosted parties inside our space at Hunt + Alpine. Open, airy and conveniently located in the heart of Portland’s Old Port it has been loved as an event space from Day One.
This year we have also added an Airstream travel trailer to our team so we can now offer offsite catering anywhere in Maine and across New England. With Hunt + Alpine’s Airstream, which we have lovingly named Barnacle, we can provide food and cocktails for events up to 200 people. As long as you have flat ground for us to park, we will be there!
Whether you would like to celebrate at our space in the Old Port or are planning your celebration elsewhere, we would love to bring our beloved cocktails and delicious food to you.
Portland Hunt + Alpine Club is a Scandinavian-influenced cocktail bar and restaurant. Since opening in 2013, we have been a multi-James Beard Foundation semi-finalist for “Outstanding Bar Program” and have been named one of the Best Cocktail Bars in America by Bon Appétit (2014), Eater (2015 & 2017), Thrillist (2020), Imbibe (2014 & 2017), Maxim (2019) and more. Owner, Andrew Volk, was named one of Food & Wine’s “Best Mixologists” in 2016. Both he and partner Briana were named to Wine Enthusiast’s “40 Under 40 Tastemakers of 2020”.
