“I’ve been here multiple times and every time I come, the experience has been great. The wings are delicious and there are so many different sauce flavors to choose from. The service has also always been great, as the workers are super nice and they get your food and drinks out to you quickly.“

“Unfortunately it just is that good. We went on a Monday, and there was no line. We had the back room to ourselves. The bartender was like “oh yeah when the owner is here he does magic I just like to cook so I do whatever in mondays just so we have food but really the good food is the other days” and then proceeded to serve us one of the best sandwiches of our lives. So, would recommend Mondays.“

“Great pizza and bourbon selection“

“Best bar in Fell’s Point!“

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

“Joe made our visit to The Horse You Came In On Saloon unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, he treated us like regulars instead of first-time visitors. His genuine hospitality, friendly personality, and incredible attention to detail created an experience that went far beyond great service.

Joe has a rare ability to make every guest feel welcome while effortlessly managing everything around him. He was knowledgeable about the bar’s rich history, made excellent recommendations, and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. His positive attitude and enthusiasm were contagious and truly elevated our entire experience.

In an industry where exceptional customer service can be hard to find, Joe sets the standard. He is a tremendous asset to The Horse You Came In On Saloon and a big reason we’ll be coming back anytime we’re in Baltimore. If you’re lucky enough to have Joe taking care of you, you’re in for an outstanding experience.

Thank you, Joe, for your professionalism, kindness, and world-class hospitality. You turned a stop at a historic bar into one of the highlights of our trip. Five stars isn’t enough!“

“If you are looking for a nice casual restaurant with a wide variety of good food, an excellent selection of beer on tap and friendly service pay SGP in Elkridge a visit. I recommend Smithwicks and if your lucky Kenny will be your bartender. Cheers and Roll Tide!!“

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

“I got the spicy pork and the dumplings, both were excellent. I asked the kitchen to really add a lot of spice and it was PERFECT, they didn't hold back. The dish had some real kick without overwhelming the rest of seasoning. We will definitely be going back.“

“Such a cute little spot in Baltimore. Vibe is rustic and fun - the place has a lot of spirit. Food was delicious, we just wish the crab dip had more chunks of crab! Beer and cocktails were amazing, and the service was amazing. we even bought a cup to take home :) We will definitely be back!!!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“It is located in a very cool area of Ellicott City.. So much talent to witness on the Popup jazz night. I hate to say this but the servers are not friendly and the good is average but drinks are great and every who comes to listen are friendly.“

“So after reading the reviews for CVP I had to check them out for myself. And I must admit. This place was definitely a 10/10! Down to the young lady that was our server singing Whitney Houston lol! My coworker and I shared the nachos and wings and both were 🔥. My entree was the 12 oz NY strip and it was so good! He had the ribs which were seasoned really well and very tender. We also had the margaritas which was probably one of the best I had in a while. Oh and the portions were very generous! Overall I have 0 complaints. I usually take my staff to Fraziers on Friday nights after work. But looks like I found a new spot.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Excellence Love Love Tim dale Phil“

“Family owned and kid friendly Riverside park staple. This place is a gem!“

“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.“

“Home of Ravens Roost 138.“

“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 🫵🚗💨“

“If you love great beer, sports, and top-tier pizza, I highly recommend checking this place out. I visited to watch the NBA Finals, and the atmosphere was fantastic and the service was excellent.

Their pizza is absolutely delicious, and their beer options are delightful with so many different flavors to choose from. They also have a super clever setup where the beers come in pairs, which is a really great touch.

If you are looking for the ultimate spot to catch a game and grab a bite, this is it. I highly recommend Pub Dog and will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always a train wreck available. Choo Choo“

“My wife and I are working on visiting all 30 MLB stadiums, and one thing I’ve learned is that the whole point of traveling is to experience something you can’t get back home. If every restaurant serves the same food and drinks as everywhere else, why leave home? That’s why I think every restaurant should have a few signature dishes and cocktails that define the place.

That was really my only disappointment here. When I asked what the house specialties were, our waiter simply said, “Everything’s good.” He was a fun guy and did recommend a great local beer, but I’d love to see Pickles Pub highlight its must-try items for first-time visitors.

Thankfully, we found one on our own. My wife ordered the Old Bay fries, which were good, but the butter and Old Bay wings were absolutely phenomenal. I’m a huge wing fan—my parents owned a popular wing restaurant for over 20 years, and I even owned a wing business myself—so I always judge a place by its wings. I’d never had wings with butter and Old Bay before, and they were outstanding. They were exactly the kind of unique local experience we travel for.

The atmosphere before an Orioles game is fantastic—it’s one big baseball party and a great way to kick off a visit to Camden Yards. We even tried the Pickleback shot, which was a fun experience.

If you’re heading to an Orioles game, I definitely recommend stopping at Pickles Pub. Just make sure you order the butter and Old Bay wings!“

“wonderful sauces and love their specials and then you can always go back to the menu for dependable favorites“

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

“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.“

“We were here for the M3 after party on Friday night and the staff were all friendly and amazing. We had the sound rocking, the place was packed and the service was still fast. Great Venue with in minutes of Merry Weather Post Pavilion We look forward to working with you again for future events.“

“Always have a great time with friends“

“My go to spot when on jury duty. Stop in for a quick bite. Friendly and attentive staff. The pub was lively with live performance! Chili was delicious with nice touch of heat! Steamed shrimp were fresh, plump and seasoned with old bay, Bmore style! Ice cold Blue Moon off the tap! Nice treat my go to spot in Towson!😋“

“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“
