21 Best Dive Bars near Catonsville

“Very nice! The steak and cheese sub was one of the best I've ever had! Give it a try - it's not the old Morsbergers - but retains much of the Catonsville charm and ambience. Very well done!“

“Great local bar and pool hall with a jukebox in the back.
The spot has two pool tables, and the bartender poured some great drinks to get you a ripped for a fun evening.
Played a couple of games with some people and had a genuinely GREAT night.
It's definitely a valid low-key "chill spot" in Bmore.“

“Excellent crabcake. Classic Bmore corner tavern. Great spot.“

“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“

“My wife and I went here for the first time while visiting spots in Baltimore associated with Edgar Allen Poe. This place is advertised as one of his last stops before he mysteriously died and we visited here on the same day we visited the house he lived in for 2 years between 1833-35 and after visiting his grave site in Baltimore. While food and service were excellent, we were also excited to enjoy live music while we ate. This is a bar and is probably the reason for how dimly lit it was in places in the bar, but that's why I rated the atmosphere as 4 stars. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our wine, food and the time we visited and will definitely come back.“

“Best bar in bmore.....Hey Tim...Jerome“

“Idle Hour is a Baltimore gem 💎
And when DJ Mudbone is on the 1s and 2s, it’s next-level. His deep crate picks and seamless genre-blending set the perfect vibe for a smooth, silky, and fun night. 🎶
🍹The Jungle Bird cocktail? Crafted to perfection, as always. Whether you’re here for the vinyl, the cocktails, or both Idle Hour never misses. Highly recommend!“

“Great Place for locals and those who happen to wander in there one night for which I’m both. Small, friendly, intimate spot with an old school feel. Cheap drinks and food complimented by pool tables, jukebox, karaoke, and great bartenders.“

“Convenient neighborhood liquor store, the only one in the area open on Sundays! Friendly staff are always helpful. Good selection with reasonable prices.

Parking: Parking available on both sides of the street directly outside the store and lounge. Also, a couple of spots on the side of the building.“

“No food, it's a bar. A good neighborhood dive. A place where everyone is welcomed and I've seen it all. Stop in for one of the best drinks in town. Don't get me started about cost. You'll never drink anywhere else. They have an private outdoor space as big as the indoor area with seating and tables. I love this place..“

“Excellent experience! While my bestie was having brain surgery at Johns Hopkins I walked down to this neighborhood bar. I met the manger Dave and the bartender Merideth. Awesome people they listened to what I was going through and they were so kind and understanding. The environment is awesome and so is the clientele. Good music everything from punk, rock, and pop. But it definitely wasn’t to loud. A total non judgement zone. All different walks of life. Great pool table also. I will be visiting this bar every time I’m in Baltimore. This is definitely a hidden gem in charm city! Thanx Spirit Tavern!“

“I never been but I heard it's very nice there the food is awesome I will be ther“

“One of the friendliest dive/neighbor hood bars on Federal Hill! We were just visiting and they treated us like family. Stop in if you're in Baltimore.“

“I have known the owner my entire life! Margaret is an upstanding woman dedicated to the diverse clientele of Baltimore City by various music genres, great service and a warm and inviting atmosphere! Her business has stood the test of time nearing almost 30 years in business!“

“A bar that makes you feel cool even when you don’t want to !! Something seductive here… a “be yourself” clause unspoken at the door that grants you a quilt of easy tranquility. The bartender ,doorman, Chas movie scenario feels like a movie you directed for yourself to be the main character watching the world go by as unique evening soap operas!“

“They're open on Sundays. I've never encountered a liquor store where the expect a tip...especially just for turning around and getting a bottle off of the shelf, but here we are.

At least they're open on Sundays.“

“Did not have the food here, but Jimmy is great! We came late on a Sunday and he showed us a great time. Drinks are priced well. We've been here before, but Jimmy created a welcoming atmosphere and offered great conversation. They're making a real effort to appeal to a higher end customer; the bathrooms are newly renovated. Looking forward to seeing upgrades. Will be returning!“

“I would also like to add that I disagree with Evilia Santa Cruz’s comments and nonsensical comments of that nature. I’ve never met her but I can assure you by her review alone that she can’t be trusted. And then for her to leave a hurtful review for being the instigator in the first place is so out of line.“

“They open at 6 a.m. and they close at 2 a.m., but be there before 1:40 am. They tend to close early due to regulations and fines. Don't show up at 1:50 am. Trust me, you won't get served!!! Also the store tends to be busy early mornings and Sundays.“

“If you're looking for a local dive bar where everyone knows your name, Henny Mack's has been a local staple in the Glen Burnie area since 1989.Bonnie and Lin the barmaids are Great!!
The bar itself is nothing but a hole in the wall place they have no drafts but can make a nice Rita the food is pizza, wings, onion rings, mozzarella sticks the basics and they have pool, darts, keno and all the other distractions you'd expect but if you're looking for a place with all the bells and whistles keep going but if you're in the mood for a cold drink in a dark dank place this is it. 😜😁“

“Thank you Yolanda for all of your help today. You ladies made a very disappointing day into a good one. Thank you for the exceptional customer service. Most of all thank you restaurant for being a place I can come to and get my fix for curry goat and ox tails“
