A perfect week is on tap.

'Happy Hour' from noon to 5pm every day.

Fresh and hearty lunch and dinner all day and all night.

Three nights of live music to get you out of the house and enhance your social life. Time to put on the party hats.

It's a long way to the top on a Sunday afternoon, but 'Anthem Road' showed us the way.

The three hour set was a religious experience.

The olive has its roots in a traditional Mediterranean diet, but it’s enjoyed worldwide these days. So National Olive Day on June 1 is a great opportunity to find a way to incorporate some olives into your diet!

James Bond made the switch to an olive garnished martini in the famous spy’s movie, 'Spectre'.

National Olive Day is a great day to eat some new varieties of olives, and also a great day for learning the magic trick for getting pimento inside the green olive! (A high speed machine pits the olive and then stuffs in pimento, which, unfortunately, isn’t all that magical.)

Live music is as important as fresh house-made meals, premium liquor, our range of beer and fine wine and welcoming customer service at Black Moon Public House.

We give every musician an opportunity to perform on our stage. In the showbiz tradition, we say "show us what you got."

One of our customers told us about a band that was rehearsing in his garage. He spoke highly of their work ethic, regular rehearsal schedule and how they were getting noticeably better and better.
This got our attention. A classic "garage band." Say no more. We love giving an unknown band a chance, and being part of their rising career should they prove to have what it takes to do so.

Having music 4, sometimes 5 nights a week we don't have the budget to pay what many acts need or deserve, but we paid what we could. If the band showed promise, our generous customers would shower them with tips, and better yet, become fans.

T.O.M.B. was that band. They brought their show, their friends and family, a rehearsed two hour show, merch and rock'n'roll swagger to Black Moon.

Since that first show, they have not looked back. Instead they have booked more shows around the state and continue to grow as musicians and showmen. Sadly, they may outgrow regular shows at Black Moon, as they become more popular and in demand. We recognize the upward trajectory of their career and are thrilled to be part of their well-deserved success.

Yeah, it was a fantastic night last night.

A thunderous rhythm section of drums and bass lock into a heavy, driving groove that rattles chest cavities. Subtle guitar riffs and melodies instantly hook the audience. A commanding vocalist moves slowly about the stage with effortless swagger, feeding off the crowd's energy. The band delivers anthemic sing-alongs prompting the entire room to sing out loud. Beams of crimson, violet, and electric blue blaze about the room as mood-shifting colors puncture the darkness. The audience, a sea of raised hands and moving bodies, sways and bounces together in collective rhythm fully captivated.
It's T.O.M.B.

Contrary to recent speculation, the concrete barricades at the Franklin Street Parklet were not part of the Berlin Wall.

Sections of the Berlin Wall are scattered across cities worldwide serving as enduring monuments to freedom, historical tokens of diplomatic gratitude, and highly valued collector's items, however Ellsworth was not one of the gifted cities.

For those who may be interested, after the barrier was breached in 1989, the newly unified German government, local municipalities, and individual citizens systematically dismantled the 96-mile-long concrete structure. While millions of tons were crushed for industrial use, approximately 600 full concrete segments were intentionally preserved and dispersed across six continents.

The smell of fresh vinyl at midnight. Ahhhh.
