36 Best Pubs in Baltimore

“Wonderful staff! Friendly and on point. Food was amazing!“

“My friend and I have been trying Pubs and eateries in the Baltimore area and this one popped up on Trip Advisor. We decided to give it a try and we are glad we did. This is a friendly neighborhood Pub and Grill that screams good food & service. The lady running the grill should be named a grill master with everything she makes. The burgers are at least ¾ of a pound of quality beef and made exactly the way you ask and the fries are freshly cut and prepared. I also had the Jerk Chicken strips, which were delicious (Not the quantity I expected for $12.00) but very good. I saw the wings come out for someone else and they looked good too. The young lady making drinks was exceptional with her knowledge of mixology. I am going to make it a point to bring my neighbor and her boyfriend here next time. I live on the North side of Baltimore city, but this is worth the drive.“

“This bar is the perfect mix of nostalgia, eclectic funk, and delightful interesting people. Came here on a Sunday afternoon to listen to some live music. Everybody is friends here they have tons of beer on tap, yummy cocktail. And the type of decor that keeps you discovering something every minute. Shout out to David and Morgan for taking such good care of their patrons. Will be spending my whole summer here! Rock on! 🤘 💕🙌🏽“

“Great pizza and bourbon selection“

“Wonderful food and drinks, as expected based on past experiences at Le Comptoir du Vin. However, our meal was dampened by the attitude of the bartender the night we visited. Simple requests and questions earned us snarky responses, and we were scolded for resting the drink menu on the bar a certain way. We were walking on eggshells by the end of the meal. I understand that heavy crowds and short staffing make things difficult, but give your customers some grace.“

“Had the crab cakes they were phenomenal very lump and perfectly made“

“I was on vacation and visited “The Horse You Came in On” and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. The atmosphere was incredible, from the moment I walked in, the energy of the crowd and the vibe of the space made it feel special. The staff were friendly and helpful, and grabbing a drink at the bar was quick and easy!! Can’t wait to visit again! The Owner Eric is a great guy as well!!“

“Came for only a few nights to Baltimore from Texas. People are friendly.. staff is also as well as attentive. Ruben sandwich was great according to my take next to me the blt was just as good. Prices are average but atmosphere and people make it better! Will come back tomorrow before I leave!“

“Great food, good drinks. The bartender was awesome. I think she is the manager as well.“

“Let me start off by saying I visited this quaint little pub for the first time on 2/25. It's not located in the greatest of neighborhoods but it is well worth the risk of bodily harm to visit. The beer is cold, the bartender was a peach and like a previous reviewer stated, there is even a friendly little fella that lives on a dog bed there. I think he is more of a beer gnome than a hobbit though. He wasn't so friendly at first but once he got a few beers in him he cheered right up. Great place, 5 stars for sure“

“Stumbled upon this place after a Ravens game. What a great pub. Jim the owner and Mandy behind the bar were great. Good times were had. Will be back!“

“I go to foleys all the time and I love it there! The wings are amazing and I love all the Guinness combos they have. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a tv in place of the chalkboard that is above the middle of the bar. If you’re sitting in the middle of the bar you have to crane your neck around to watch anything, having a tv there would be awesome!“

“Great food, people and environment! Always consistent.“

“Very nice place ! Very friendly staff! Great food !! Great service!! Highly recommend!!“

“I heard the stories about this place and it had been closed for a couple of years as the hotel it's in underwent renovation and ownership changes but it's back open and I couldn't be happier.

Steve the bartender is currently a one man show and we were there on the weekend it reopened and he was so happy to be back in his happy place. The man is a cocktail maven who loves his craft and what he does and his customers as well.

There is currently no menu here you ask for what you want or can tell Steve what you are in the mood for and he will make something amazing!

I got a smoked old fashioned that he smokes with his own blend of wood and spices and it was easily in the Top 5 of best old fashioneds I've ever had.

If you are in Fells Point looking for a cocktail and Anchor Tavern is open make sure you visit!“

“The cheeseburger was fantastic! The bartender was superb for drinks and conversation. Dive bar excellence.“

“My wife and I were in Baltimore for a wedding and stayed the night. The next morning we found Ale Mary's for brunch, and it was incredible. The prices are so reasonable, the food was delicious and the service was so friendly. We live in Northern Virginia but this place is seriously worth the trip up 95.“

“We were a little surprised to start the evening by ringing a doorbell to get in, but the warm welcome that followed put us at ease right away. The atmosphere is fantastically unique, quirky, and full of character. The bartenders were genuinely friendly and the service was quick.

We ordered the Mac ’n’ Cheese with Jerk Chicken, Yuca Bites, Chorizo con Arroz y Gandules and the Cinnamon Mini Donuts. Everything was perfectly seasoned (especially great if you enjoy a bit of heat like we do). The only downside was that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side.

It also looks like they host a lot of interesting events like book readings, sip-and-paints, comedy shows and more. We didn’t get a chance to attend one this time, but it definitely added to the charm and made us want to come back.“

“This place is a must for all Poe lovers! Go for the love of Poe and stay for the atmosphere, wonderful staff, and delicious food. We will be back ASAP ❤️“

“Very nice neighborhood watering hole!! Staff friendly food is fabulous and the music guest this evening was great too!!! We had a very nice evening for being out on a Sunday nigh! Definitely be back!!“

“For a bar on the outside it’s not like a looker but don’t let that steer you away. They have a small food menu but they do it Good. I got chicken tenders and a chicken cheesesteak both were yummy. If you want a cool afternoon drink and lunch with a chill vibe this is the spot. The bar tender Sharon was very polite and sweet and the cook even came out to deliver the food to us. I would highly recommend this bar for budget food and drink for a good buck👍🤟“

“Excellence Love Love Tim dale Phil“

“This is a great local bar with a lot of character. You won't find friendlier people anywhere. Classic old school decor inside and on the night we were there, DJs spinning the disks at your request. Wander upstairs and check out the record store while you're there. This is a must hang in Baltimore.“

“Great place to have dinner with friends“

“This is the spot to be!!!! Great bartenders.“

“My friends and I popped in here for some food and drinks before a show and we fell in love. Laura and all the staff were so much fun and provided excellent service and great night. The food was amazing and we would go back 10/10 times. Thank you so much for being awesome!“

“Just stopped in to cool off and enjoy some brews! Loved the selection of whiskey and beers on tap🍻. Makes me want to listen to Irish ☘️ music as soon as we walked in! Bartender was very nice and professional. ✌️👍👍must check this one out 🫵🚗💨“

“Last week We decided to try pubdog for the first time post covid. The food was just as delicious as I remembered, we got the Thai chicken pizza and the dog pound (I think 🤔 It had pepperoni, sausage, chicken it was great) they're beer selection was different than I remember, a few of the house ciders were missing from the menu though it may just be a seasonal thing, Hopefully. That being said best thing was staff they were so kind & accommodating.“

“I had an emotionlly weird day until Aryel and D gave me the best service! They work well together, as a previous bartender/waitress myself you can spot top tier chemistry! The teamwork makes the dream“

“Cool place, brews were good and the appetizer was delicious. Definitely worth checking it out“

“Wow leaving from City Line now 😢 friend recommended City Line for a Re Pass and City Line did us wrong Overcharged Everybody just because you never seen none of Us before we only live 20 minutes away but we are never coming back the waitresses make up their own prices DJ was good but we can't f*** with that“

“Almost a 5 star rating. very close. The staff was fun an attentive, the atmosphere is the type of dive bar I appreciate. And the food was good, but not great.

The fried pickle BLT was good an I would order it again, but this is crab territory, the crab dip should have been better. I would NOT order that again.

But, the pickle BLT ... 100% ... order it.“

“Nice Little Neighborhood Cozy Spot To Get Your Drink On. They Do Not Serve Food On The Regular Except On Taco Tuesdays But Bartenders Are Friendly And The Beer Ice Cold. It's A Little Small Inside So I Suggest You Come Early If You Want A Seat.“

“Tasha and E are two of the most attentive and friendly bartenders in Baltimore!!“

“Great bar and a friendly staff!“

“Wonderful wait staff and amazing food definitely worth coming back for“
