If ever you are in the Portland area you must check out The Galley! Live entertainment in the Boathouse, amazing sunset views from the roof top patio and a very friendly bar that displays one of the coolest bar tops I have ever seen. A real Florida Keys vibe that must be experienced. Steve H

This location is one of the best on the Rideau system. The Servers and Sheri the bartender are nothing short of excellent. It’s a basic fun spot with locals, boaters and visitors from afar. Sit up above or watch the drinks being prepared from the bar below. It’s a great location and it has great people to make you feel welcome.

The fries I had were not very good, seemed like old fries, and the beer pitcher had too much of a head on it.

Number of items listed on menu were not available. Service was very slow…, more staff is needed. Fish Chowder was nothing more than corn and potatoes in a clear broth. We’ve had many great meals at the Galley but this time was a miss all around.
