Rhum Food + Grog

Portland, Maine, United States

Rhum Food + Grog opened in February 2016, in the Old Port neighborhood of Portland. The focus was on "elevated" versions of traditional food from Polynesian restaurants, with an emphasis on seafood. There was a flaming pupu platter on the menu. The drink menu was a mix of classics and new tropicals, with many served in tiki mugs made by a local ceramicist.

Reportedly, many of the specialty mugs for this location were stolen by unscrupulous customers, and the aggravation (and cost) of having to replace these was a significant factor in their decision to close.
