A Bangor, Maine Bar Will Close For Good On Saturday Night

Just a few days left to enjoy a popular Bangor nightlife destination.

Big changes are coming to Downtown Bangor's nightlife very soon.

Mark Greenleaf, has been the owner of Carolina's Sports & Spirits, for more than 20 years, but he is ready to step down, selling the business to a new owner.

As the final days tick away, you can still stop in to enjoy their incredible food menu, or just have a cocktail and watch some sports on one of their 9 TVs.

It is a safe bet that the place will be rocking for the University of Maine hockey game on Friday night.

Carolina's will lock up its doors for good at the end of business hours on Saturday night/Sunday morning, after what is sure to be a big farewell bash.

The location at 16 Union Street, has been a nightlife destination for years. It was previously open as "The Waterfront" and "Legends" before Greenleaf took control.
