Bentley's Saloon Sightings!
Have you or have you seen someone spotted in another state or country wearing a Bentley's Saloon tee, sweatshirt, hat, leather or seen a sticker? Since 2011, we've been collecting these photos and posting them in our photo gallery and highlighting one weekly in our newsletter. Our gallery contains more than 1,200 pictures! Bentley bought the front bar in 2004 and never dreamed it would turn into a destination place! The best is hearing the friendships developed when people meet each other for the first time when they spot someone else wearing a Bentley's tee! We appreciate the support!

3RD ANNUAL TRUCK SHOW, AUGUST 17, 2024
==========
Our Third Annual Truck Show's weather was definitely not in our favor as it started to rain at showtime, but we were happy with the turnout of 40 trucks, some Bentley's. The day was grey and cloudy; however, a very special day with a reunion of friends, meeting new friends and the Twisted Tea promo girls who brought the Twisted Tea truck and gave away swag. Bentley took a few guests for a ride in his backwards truck, and Whiskey- 6, (fan voted) New England Country Music “Group of the Year” last year put on an excellent performance on our outside stage!

Wounded Heroes Ride: America The Beautiful
Huge thank you to all the supporters, police escorts, volunteers, our staff and community that joined us Saturday for the America the Beautiful Ride arranged by Pam Payeur with the Wounded Heroes Program of Maine. We visited heroes at the Maine Veteran's Home in Scarborough and returned to the saloon for a beautiful ceremony. To see the smiles on their faces was priceless and to see 200 motorcycles with American flags attached led by twelve police escorts headed back to the saloon was priceless!
