Our Origin Story
From a nationally celebrated mocktail bar to a beloved e-commerce brand bringing handcrafted cocktail magic into homes nationwide.
Vena’s Fizz House opened its doors in 2013 as one of the country’s first dedicated mocktail bars — a visionary idea at the time. Nestled on Fore Street in Portland, ME, our little bar quickly gained national attention with features in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, CNN, DownEast Magazine, and many more. Visitors from all over came to experience our creative use of botanicals, bitters, and natural ingredients.As our signature drinks grew in popularity, so did the demand for our unique flavors beyond the bar. What started as handcrafted cocktails served across a counter naturally evolved into products customers could take home — Spirit Infusion Jars, Botanical Bitters, and our iconic Maine Pine Syrup.When the bar closed its physical doors, Vena’s transitioned fully into an e-commerce brand — carrying forward the heart, craft, and creativity that made the original bar special. Every jar, bottle, and blend we create is rooted in the recipes and techniques developed in our early days, infused with the same passion that defined our beginnings.Today, Vena’s Fizz House continues to celebrate the art of flavor, helping people craft memorable drinks and moments at home — just like we did behind the bar in Portland.
