Shared Stories from the Best Bar in OOB!

The Last Resort, arguably the best place to cut loose in Old Orchard Beach Maine. The doors are never closed and the drinks are always flowing and on a good night you can hear their tunes from half way across town!

Best Perk, It's Always Opened!

When the bars close in OOB, the night begins at The Last Resort. Don't worry if the owners are asleep by the fire, they stand true to their "Always Open" policy as seen in the picture below. If you're one who plans ahead, its a good idea to stash some alcoholic beverages away in the enchanted forest because the stores around here close at 1am. If you don't plan ahead, no worries- the last resort always has something on reserve!



For those music lovers I've got good news for you: one of the hottest DJs in town, Dimez Baker, plays live shows exclusively from the tool shed. He's well equipped with two turn tables and an eclectic array of records ranging from Wu-Tang to Etta James. If you're lucky he might even give you a free scratch lesson.

The music is enjoyable but the real gem here is the owner himself. He goes by many names: Dean "Double Ringer" Baker, Prince Valiant, Monkey Bone, Non Soberius, the list goes on, but he is most commonly known as El Deanyo. El Deanyo steals the show every night with his unmatched dance moves. Battlers be weary- this guy has NEVER lost a dance off, even when he lost his shoes! He performs regularly at the Oasis in downtown Old Orchard but to catch a glimpse of his new moves you really got to catch him in the tool shed.

Sadly, I haven't visited The Last Resort since Winter so I am anxious to test out the new horseshoe pit. You'll surely find me here Memorial Day Weekend, hope to see you too!
