Leisure Time Cocktail Co., a Thompson’s Point bar specializing in small-batch draft cocktails, announced Wednesday that it will close after this weekend so the company can focus on its new line of canned cocktails.

Co-owner Kai Parrott-Wolfe said the bar, which launched in July 2024, had always been intended as the “first stage” for the company’s canned craft cocktails.

“The bar was our tasting room, our lab,” he said. “It was always going to be the raft that got us to the canning. That was the goal of the project. Our closing party is our can launch party.”

Leisure Time’s canned cocktails, produced in Dover, N.H., will be available in Maine stores as soon as next week, Parrott-Wolfe said. The cans come in four flavors of vodka-based drinks: passionfruit and vanilla (porn star martini-style); cranberry-mango; blueberry-mint; and a cucumber-ginger mule. The company plans to expand the line to include drinks using bourbon and locally-produced Goldie’s gin as well.

Parrott-Wolfe’s Instagram post suggested the Leisure Time team may eventually reopen a bar in “some hole in the wall” downtown. “We’d love to do something like that in the future,” he said.

Leisure Time’s final day at Thompson’s Point will be Sunday.
