Mathew's Pub, Portland's oldest pub, listed for sale
Mathew's Pub, which has operated in Portland, Maine, since 1872, is currently part of a real estate listing for sale. The listing includes an 8,000-square-foot block at 133 Free Street, comprising the pub's space and eight fully-leased apartments.
The property is listed at $2,465,000 and is described as being prime for redevelopment. While the business could potentially be included in the sale if a buyer chooses, the future of the city's oldest pub remains uncertain.
This development follows a period of significant turnover in Portland's dining scene, where several long-standing establishments, such as the Old Port Tavern and Anania's, have closed in recent years.
