Twenty taps, of the night

A German-inspired draft haus in downtown Bangor, pouring craft beer from near and far beside simple, locally sourced plates.

Nocturnem draft haus

Not just another bar

From the beginning, Nocturnem has been about bringing quality craft beer to Bangor with a no-frills approach. You come for exactly what you get: great taps, perfectly paired food, and service that makes you come back for more.

Always something new on the board

Our draft list is a constantly evolving menu of the best beers we can find, locally and abroad. Twenty lines, well balanced and always changing for freshness. And the kitchen makes about 85% of what we serve in Haus.

Every week in The Haus

A reason to pull up a stool any day of the week.

Mon to Fri

Hours of Happiness

Happy hour in The Haus runs Monday through Friday, 4 to 6 PM.

Mondays

Industry Night

25% off all night for the folks who work in the industry.

Tuesdays

Taco Tuesday

Mama Noc’s famous taco seasoning & local beef combine to make some killer tacos. Soft flour tortilla, Haus sauce, Cheddar Jack, lettuce, tomato & sour cream. Order 1 or 100, you do you. There’s a vegetarian version and a corn tortilla option (gf) too. Guac is available, but extra.

Wednesdays

Wing Wednesday

Our famous smoked & chargrilled wings on the cheap. Sure, you can start with 4, but you know you’re gonna order 20. Haus made sauces: Haus Beer, bleu cheese, ranch, chipotle BBQ or Frank’s Buffalo. A small charge applies.

Thursdays

Burger Thursday

$11.99

Our fantastic grass-fed burger at half price. Just because it’s half price doesn’t mean we skimped on the quality or the portion. The Classic is exactly that: lettuce, tomato, American or cheddar.

A chill room in downtown Bangor, candlelit and a little gothic, with cozy seating out back.
