32 Best Bars in Annapolis

“Incredible food, great service, and a great atmosphere.“

“Cindy and Ashley are amazing they never stop moving“

“I adored this place. It gives me London pub vibes which is quaint and charming. It’s nice and small but worth going into. The bartendress was kind and their fall drink Pumpkin Spice White Ukrainian was very good, just like a Starbucks fall beverage but with liquor.“

“Wonderful customer service. Our 2 year old decided to have a meltdown mid meal, which upset another patron, while we were outside calming her down the staff gathered a few books, stickers and crayons for her to play with when we sat back down. It was very thoughtful and helped to make the rest of our evening with family even more enjoyable. Thank you!“

“Great small plates and cocktails. Love the rooftop atmosphere“

“This is the third time my son has requested this restaurant for his birthday dinner and it never disappoints! Great wine, delectable apps, options for vegetarians, meatatarians, picky kids and those with food allergies. Great desserts as well! And the service has always been absolutely over-the-top fabulous! Also the vibe is awesome. We always request to “sit by the tree” and are always accommodated. Thanks Tuscan Prime!“

“Unique food focused on local products and sustainability. The food is like nothing I’ve had before. Highly recommend the crispy kale appetizer. Love the homemade “sodas” especially the citrus soda and ginger soda.“

“Such a fun place with special cocktails and the coolest owners!!“

“I regularly visit both the café and dining locations, and both have a wonderful ambiance for solo working (reading, studying, etc.), as well as meeting with friends for coffee. Scrumptious and interesting food fare, and truly warm and memorable service. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been lovely, but special mention to Eric, Daniel, and Grant, whose hospitality has been inviting and impeccable every time. Always looking forward to my next visit!“

“Yum, great service and great atmosphere“

“Great food. Friendly staff“

“We travel from Delaware just for the crab cakes and atmosphere!! The crab cakes are arguably the best around.

Riley was our server and she was fantastic.

We will be back next month (or sooner) for our monthly brunch/lunch and beverage!!“

“The warm brie, shepherds pie,Irish Reuben were our favorites today. First time visit but definitely not the last time.“

“I had a large catering order for a construction meeting in DC. They asked for something new. Since I love Julep's, I brought some for my customers. Emily was great from start to finish and helped me make a good menu. I asked for the order to be ready by 1030am and they made it happen. Everyone loved the food. You don't win friends with salad. Highly recommend!“

“Wow! My tastebuds went into overload! I ordered a BLT sandwich recommendation from our server (who was great!) and it was the best I’ve ever had! So juicy and unique! The onion rings are definitely over the top as well! Everything coming out of the kitchen from their soups, salads and sandwiches looked amazing! One of my new favorite spots😊“

“Heroes Pub is my new favorite spot! Had lunch there yesterday and Kristi was great! Can't wait to go back!“

“Good food. Beer was cold. Perfect location. Nice people !“

“Some of the best pizza we’ve had! Tried the Marissa and Traditional White and both were amazing. Cool atmosphere, but loud, so be prepared. Staff was very friendly.“

“I have been a patron at McGarvey's for years. I love your food and service. However, first time I have a complaint. I was anxious to try the crab balls, as pictured in your menu. Although they weren't horrible, they looked nothing like the picture on your menu, very disappointed. I expected pieces of white crab meat and we got very crusted, fried little round balls. I bragged to my grandson about the picture on your menu and it was certainly not what we got. I must say, it is the first thing I have been disappointed with. Either change the picture or take them off your menu.“

“I’ve been coming here since they’ve opened and I haven’t been disappointed. Yeah, there are times just like any restaurant where things might not be perfect or what you’d expect. But since I am a chef and I’ve worked in several restaurants, the difference between how something is cooked one day can be a difference between who’s working that day. They do make some of the best pizzas around! They have a bar, game nights, special pizza nights, buy one get one on Tuesday and even Social nights where you can cook things in the kitchen. What I recommend about Neo Pizza? Everything! It’s a good restaurant, not too overpriced. A great place to hang, socialize, have a beer and enjoy good times with friends or family.“

“Fantastic staff and the owners are the best!“

“I want to recommend all to visit this Maggiano’s location for their great service,awesome food, and atmosphere. They invited my daughter and our family to visit for her birthday and went above and beyond to make her feel special. The manager Ahilan and his team could not have made my daughter feel anymore special than she did and it was truly a night to remember! Mussels were delicious and the desserts were incredible!“

“We arrived within 30 minutes of closing. We were seated quickly, and the service was excellent. The food was also good. I've been to other locations that I'd never return to ( Greenbelt), but this location was a good choice all the way around.“

“Level is our favorite spot in Annapolis! It’s perfect for a romantic date night or for a casual dinner, you can truly dress up or down and fit in here. The food is always amazing, even our family (who can be tough critics) were very happy with their food choices. The menu rotates a little seasonally and it’s always fun to try the new items and revisit the permanent items. The cocktails are super creative and you can’t really go wrong with any of them! Some of our current favorites: Harvest Mule, Agave Please for drinks and for food… house fries, tuna poke, ribs, brussel sprouts, and the oysters! Crab Mac and cheese is a must if it’s on the menu! Oh and don’t forget to leave room for dessert, we love all the choices but banana bread pudding is our favorite! 11/10 love coming here.“

“Great selection, good portions of food. Yummy dessert and ever flowing selections of beer. Oh did I mention great attentive service! First time we visited here to try something new and we will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊“

“Incredible Maryland style crab cakes and crab soup, perhaps the best in all of downtown Annapolis. Many other great food choices too. It really is that good. Friendly service as well. Recommended!“

“Artaviap2022, stop it with the black thing and stop using your race as a crutch for everything that goes wrong in your life, as I'm sure you do! Just like the majority of your race. Im sick of it. Everything is a black thing with blacks! I'm white, and I have had the same bad experiences that you've mentioned in many restaurants! I guess it's all the fault of people of color! Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? So does what you've written! You are what's wrong with the racial problems in this country! People like you, who refuse to let go of history that happened when neither one of us was alive, yet, you're constantly looking for reparations for something that no one alive is responsible for. Just list your complaint, and leave the race out of it! People like you make me sick! It's people like you that make me dislike blacks, as that word was mentioned in your post! People of color don't typically drag the fact that they are people of color into a conversation! However, blacks make sure to say they are black when complaining about the perceived injustices that have happened to them! Just say what you have to say, and leave the fact that you're black out of the conversation! If you didn't like Buddy's, then just list your complaints and leave your race out of it! You should contact Black Lives Matter about your issue! Oooooops, I forgot, they ran off with your money and are nowhere to be found now!“

“ambiance. ✔️ drinks ✔️ food ✔️“

“Wonderful establishment. Great wine selection and the pizza and bartending staff are awesome.“

“Food was very good. Each of our group (4) ordered something different, and were all very pleased. Service was good, wait staff pleasant. Outdoor patio is large and accommodating. This is a great p[lace to eat and hang out before a show next door.“

“The Annapolis Crab sandwich was really good! And we also tried the soft sell crab special sandwich and it was super crispy and nice !!! True crab meat with nice sauces and fries.
The service was great and fast. My only suggestion is that the bathrooms need some maintenance 🫣“

“It is 1:47pm on Thanksgiving Day, and my mother and I saunter in 17 minutes late for our reservation and my *beloved* mother points at the exact table she decides she wants. By the fireplace.
🤦🏼‍♀️
To be fair: It's the exact table that I want, and she's a 70+year old cancer patient, so I let her go.
I'm so sorry, host boy. 👃🏻 I know you're doing the best you can.
I mess with the host boy and tell him we're a party of 8. He doesn't bat an eye and is about to figure out how to make a party of 8 happen when I tell him I'm kidding and apologize.
We get seated at *my Mom's desired table,* and I look around, and realize our poor server has been *at least* triple sat. I tell my Mom it's gonna be a minute before we get our iced teas, but the support kid filled our waters; and not gonna lie, kiddo is not only on top of things, but also above-average eye candy.
Don't tell my Mom I said that.
We get our soups - Oyster Stew - rich and river-y (if you know, you know). Five oysters in each crock, and our server even found us *the right* crackers. Seriously - Give Frisco a raise.
Our turkey dinners were fantastic and the sides were even better.
We took our dessert to go.
This was the best Thanksgiving I've had with my mom in a long time. Thank you for making that possible.“
