Maine’s first, in-person sports-betting bar is officially open. “Oddfellahs” opened on Market Street on Friday…

The bar has partnered with Caesars Sportsbook, one of two sportsbooks authorized under Maine’s new law to run sports betting, the other being DraftKings.

The founder of “Oddfellahs” says there’s more to the bar than just sports betting.

“Set aside the betting, Portland hasn’t really had a fully dedicated sports bar. There are some great places to watch sports in Portland but having something that’s fully dedicated to watching games is something I think the city is missing and hopefully, people take advantage of it,” said founder Michael Cianchette.
