Former Stockton Springs Yacht Club Becomes New Restaurant

STOCKTON SPRINGS, Maine (WABI) – A former Stockton Springs yacht club is now a restaurant with a view.

“Why not open a restaurant? It was kind of on a whim, but we’re having a lot of fun, ”said Jillian Liversidge, owner of Club Marina and Bar.

The Stockton Harbor yacht club left the building at the end of Dock Road in December.

In July, Liversidge converted it into a restaurant.

“For a long time, only people who were club members could enter the building so it’s good that it’s open to everyone. I really like Stockton Harbor. It’s a hidden gem, ”Liversidge said. “We have great drinks, we have organic wine, we have local beers.”

And a menu that changes frequently. Liversidge does most of the cooking, while Michael Labenski takes care of the bar.

“We’ve been really lucky to have a great group of locals who are here every week,” Liversidge said.

Sometimes you will even find live music. On Saturday, the Sail Bums made an appearance.

“We live on this boat here. Mollynogger, a 37 foot company and we travel to play shows, ”said Gaylen Smith, The Sail Bums.

They docked at the marina before bringing their unique ocean and adventure

“I have my keyboard between my legs driving it like a bronco and we hold onto everything else to make sure it doesn’t overdo it, so it’s a privilege to be able to come up to a dock and straight in a place to play, ”said Allison Bankston, The Sail Bums.

“Getting great reviews so I’m happy to be here to provide another dining option in Stockton Springs,” Liversidge said.
