Papa Bear: “No, it comes with our Buttermilk Hotcakes and our Creme Brûlée Stuffed French Toast.”

Brother Bear: “But Papa, there’s usually an up charge for real maple syrup and by default, the other stuff is given”.

Papa Bear: “What is ‘other stuff’?

Brother Bear: “I’m not sure, it’s like maple syrup but maybe different.”

Papa Bear: “You mean it’s not real?”

Brother Bear: “Nevermimd, Papa! Way to keep it real”

Papa Bear: “Every single day in every single way, that’s the only way to keep it, son.”

We’re ready to stop keeping it a secret now🥴: The Bear now opens at 8am every day of its service week (Thursday-Monday). In other words, the Bearscuits now come out of the oven at 8am when that Gorham Town Bell rings eight times in the morning.😁

Of course, these mushrooms go great in our omelettes but you're going to have to try the new Soup Staple at The Bear, our Mushroom Bisque! 😋🐻

$5 Pours on all tap beers &
