50 Best Bars near Brooklyn Park

“Great Value!!!!! Great neighborhood bar“

“I organized a work event that was held there today. The service and experience were amazing. From start to finish they were true professionals and all the attendees had a great time. I highly recommend having your next corporate event here and can’t wait to come back.“

“Buffalo arancini spring salad w egg lemon curd dessert“

“My husband and I have been here at least a dozen times, have taken other friends as well. We are always greeted and told about the 20% being included in each drink order and we’re fine with that because the mixologists are fabulous, the atmosphere is wonderful and we will continue to patronize this wonderful establishment and support the city of Baltimore and a small business in the process.“

“My husband and I stopped by for a drink, and ordered the cream of crab soup, gf fried shrimp, and the honey maple brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious! Special thanks to the bartender, Lee, who was very attentive!“

“Drinks were good, the ambience was very romantic

I wish the music was slightly quieter, the bar was empty when we entered but it was still hard to hear each other well

We came around 7:30pm on a Thursday and only a few people were there but by 9:30 it was bumpin, no more seats available“

“Miss this place a lot. I used to go a lot when I worked closer to it. Highly recommend trying the Wings of Destiny on your first first visit but there are so many flavors, you will surely find a favorite. And the bartenders there are always super cool.“

“Wow! We ordered carryout from Ellie’s Tavern and were absolutely blown away. The food was incredible — huge portions, hand-cut fries, house-made blue cheese, and perfectly hand-breaded chicken tenders. The Crab Rangoon dip and Buffalo Cauliflower were outstanding. The service was awesome — fast and friendly — even while busy. We can’t wait to dine in next time. What an awesome Canton neighborhood gem!“

“The is a true local gem. The bar is decorated in a 1970’s theme. They offer old timey beers like Stroh’s and Schaefer as well as inventive cocktails. The menu consists of unique pizzas, sandwiches and salads. Their wings are tender, tasty and delicious. The bar has a pub like quality and the clientele is friendly and welcoming. The Dive is a wonderful new addition to the neighborhood“

“Knotty Pine is a great neighborhood bar & grill in Brewers Hill with a laid-back, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to kick back with friends anytime. Locals praise its friendly service and casual atmosphere — it’s the kind of spot where you can grab a cold beer, catch a game on the TVs, and hang out for hours without feeling rushed.

The menu is surprisingly strong for a bar: smash burgers (especially the Knotty Pine Burger), wings, sweet potato fries, fried pickles, crab dip, and flatbread pizzas are all crowd favorites, and the portions are generous. You’ll also find fun twists like tacos or burrito bowls, so there’s something for different cravings.

The atmosphere feels casual yet lively — perfect for a chill dinner, a few drinks after work, or weekend hangs. A few folks mention parking can be a little tight sometimes, but that small inconvenience doesn’t dim the overall experience.

Overall: Knotty Pine is a friendly, relaxed neighborhood staple with solid pub food, tasty burgers, and a welcoming bar vibe — easy to recommend for laid-back nights in Baltimore.“

“The Backyard is the best neighborhood bar in Baltimore. Expertly curated wine and spirit list, knowledgeable and friendly staff with amazing food and cocktails that are all very reasonably priced. It is am absolute hidden gem!“

“Doug is the best. This is our favorite neighborhood spot. Cocktails are on point, wine selection is simple but good and reasonably priced, and the smash burgers are f-ing fire 🔥 and we love Doug’s company, and Kirsten’s, and all of his staff. We love Southpaw!“

“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 atmosphere is friendly and lively. the cocktails were interesting, and may have even converted my gin-hating husband. The bartenders, Ted especially, really rounded out the experience. one of the best places in the city!!!!!“

“Fantastic, legit cheesesteaks on Amoroso rolls“

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

“So I went to blooms on a slow Saturday night. Inside is super nice, & I do love the vintage 70s aesthetic of it all. Idk if they take reservations, but I just walked in &. A hostess sat me down. The velvet couches are a nice touch, though they aren't the most comfortable IMO. It's small, can probably hold about 50 ppl total. But for it to be a slow night, the service was even slower, surprisingly. Getting my waiter's attention felt like the hunger games :( she served me and would disappear for 30 minutes. It took nearly another 30 minutes just to get the check after I asked. I'd go back, but I wouldn't get a table. I'd just stand at the bar, where the service seems quicker. My drinks were very good! On the pricey side but that's to be expected with cocktail bars these days.“

“It made me feel like home! 😍“

“Great neighborhood hang out. Patrons are totally chill and everyone is there for a good time. Bar tenders are awesome. Reasonably priced with lots of events. 10/10“

“One of our Favs! Wine tastings with Wayne❤️Meg rocks. Tristan is the best.“

“Worked there years ago for John. He has passed but the memories are still there. Oh the things I did on that pool table. LOL Great memories.“

“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.“

“Excellent service and great cocktails!“

“Our new favorite spot in Fells Point.“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“great venue, very friendly and professional staff. first venue I've ever been to that let me take my merch haul out to my car so I didn't have to worry about lugging it around or standing in line waiting after the show ended. Also quick to respond to questions. Thank you for a great show experience!“

“Love the atmosphere here, everyone is so nice, and love the Trash Panda!“

“If I could give them more than 5 stars, I 100000% would!😁
I absolutely loved the show, ambience & vibe and the drinks. Spencer was nothing short of incredible! Every single act was jaw-dropping, but what really set the night apart was how much comedy and audience interaction there was. From start to finish, he kept pulling people into the experience, making everyone feel like part of the illusions rather than just be mere spectators. It was so natural, so fun, and honestly there was never a dull moment.
What I appreciated most was how genuine and down-to-earth he felt on stage. The humour, the timing, the surprises, it all flowed perfectly and kept the entire room buzzing!😁 You could tell he truly loves what he does, and that energy was contagious!🤩
And a big shout-out to Nicole behind the bar — she was fantastic and made the night even better with great service and a warm, friendly vibe! And the drinks were spectacular too!😁

Highly recommend this show if you’re looking for an unforgettable night full of laughs, amazement, and nonstop entertainment 🤩“

“Excellent service and great food!!“

“What a great local spot! Harry is the best!! Vegas loves u!“

“good food.good staff. awsome drinks“

“On The Rocks Bar & Grill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently hosted a birthday party at On The Rocks in Millersville, and it was truly an amazing experience from beginning to end. The owners were absolutely incredible — attentive the entire time and genuinely invested in making the celebration special. They went above and beyond to personalize the event, even helping us display a slideshow on the television screens, which added such a meaningful and fun touch for our guests. The food was fantastic and consistently replenished throughout the party — no one ever felt like they were waiting or missing out. And the drinks? On point all night long. 🍸👏 What really stood out was how hands-on and accommodating they were. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in making events seamless and memorable. If you’re looking for a place to host a birthday, celebration, or private gathering in the Millersville area, I highly recommend On The Rocks. We felt completely taken care of and were able to relax and enjoy every moment. We’ll definitely be back! 🎉🥂“

“Great food and free live music. Friendly staff.“

“Excellence Love Love Tim dale Phil“

“If they have the seafood quesadilla on special it was delicious! It was filled with shrimp, crab meat and cheese. Muy deliciosis! 👌“

“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.“

“Cozy spot with a laid back vibe, good cocktails, nice beer selection, and amazing music.“

“Amazing bar ! Great drinks 🍹 great customer service! Great atmosphere“

“Section 771 helped to raise nearly $5000 for the Wishlist Foundation! Thank you for hosting the Pearl Jam PreParty! Your staff was friendly, fast, and kind. Best bar bathrooms in Baltimore! Super clean facility. Check them out before Orioles and Ravens games. Thank you for supporting the community!“

“Great entertainment! Awaken & Surreal“

“Always a great time at Pig & Rooster! The beer selection is varied, the pizza is sooo satisfying, and the vibes are impeccable. I also recommend the Caesar salad - it’s got a yummy honey mustard flavor that makes it a delightful departure from your typical bar salad. Go for music trivia on thursdays, it’s a great time!!“

“Hospitality is alive and well at Meander Art Bar. The cocktails are impeccable, and the food is delicious. But the shining star is the bartender, Maggie, who not only remembered us after several days between visits but also remember our cocktail orders from the previous visit. The art bar concept is also super creative and fun. If I could put this bar in my pocket and take it back to where I live, I'd do it in a second. It's unpretentious and the perfect neighborhood haunt. Oh, and try the umami cocktail ftw.“

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

“Great place for all genres of music worshippers to come together and JAM !“

“The service provided was first class. I went with a group of friends to watch the NFL DRAFT. The food was great and the staff were awesome. I would highly recommend this restaurant. we will be going back.“

“This place is very low key and inviting. The drinks were amazing, the cool part about this place is that they have the NA version of the drinks as well. ABC cocktail is very very good. This is the first place I liked the hot cocktail. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this place.“

“Max's Taphouse is one of my favorite spots in Fells Point sometimes service can be a little tough here because there's usually only one bartender however it is a fantastic spot and one of the oldest bars in Fells Point I highly recommend you at least visit once in order to check it out there's so many bars in Fells Point it's hard to hit them all but this is one of my favorites the food is fantastic beer selection is great however I did ask the bartender about cider and he immediately said we only have it in cans which was wrong they had two different ciders on draft so maybe just read the menu for yourself since it seems to bartender may not know exactly what's on draft. If you are a cider fan I highly recommend you check out the DownEast fall cider it is delicious and on draft I'll recommend it since the bartender didn't even seem to know!“

“I really enjoyed myself I can’t wait to come back“

“Octobar is one of my favorite spots in Federal Hill! Not only for its incredible food and drink selection, but for its truly outstanding service. I had to plan a last-minute going-away party, and Octavio made the entire process completely seamless. He handled every detail, from arranging the bartender to creating a custom drink menu featuring our favorite cocktails, and even made it easy for everyone to pay their tabs individually. The experience was truly one of a kind. I highly recommend booking Octobar whether you’re planning a night out for dinner and drinks or hosting a special gathering.“

“Great vibes and great music and love the bartender Maria ♥️“
