50 Best Bars near Cockeysville

“The band last night Saturday, September 5th, was AWFUL!! We walked out after having a delicious Margarita Pizza. That lead singer with her stupid cat ears headband could not sing a note!!! They were not who you had advertised to play. What a disappointment!!!!“

“Went to Ashland Cafe last Saturday night... The food was great the band was great but our waitress was exceptional...Becca went above and beyond with her service.... She needs a raise... Well definitely be back!!!“

“My waitress/host GiGi was absolutely amazing! The personality the excellent service the the professionalism and so attentive! Made sure we were good and checking on us made sure the food was great. GiGi truly is the one for this environment. Absolutely represented this company well. I will be back because of this great service. Dr. E Holmes! Ed. D“

“This is a typical bar with with bar food. No Different than TGI Friday, except a little better. The service is "OK" the servers are untrained as to waiting on tables. The first thing that should be brought to tables is eating utensils and napkins, the water. The tables dont have slat & pepper available for their patrons, you need to ask for it. The menus are not placed in front of customers upside down. (And I even brought it to her attention and she still didn’t correct it) ?? All in all the server was trying very hard to be attentive. The food was not terrible, it's typical bar food, and dont expect anything more. The Boom Boom shrimp are pre breaded frozen shrimp with the tails on and then fried and covered in some type of sauce. My daughter liked the boneless chicken wings with hot sauce. The onion rings I thought were good. I ordered the toasted Italian sub and wasn't offered the option to get tater tots -vs- fries. I didn’t realize this till later and the fries were soggy. I think this is an "OK" spot for someone looking for a bar atmosphere and same for the food & service.“

“It made me feel like home! 😍“

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

“Great brunch. The food and service was c the best!“

“Best live music band and craft beer.“

“Downtown location is excellent. Food is great at both locations. Service at Owings Mills location was the worst I have ever experienced. Go Downtown. Owings Mills service was dreadful. It wasn't crowded. Just really bad service. Worst service.“

“My friend and I visited this lounge for the first time last month. It is a BEAUTIFUL lounge. A great atmosphere and gorgeous ambiance. The bartender was very nice. However, our experience could have been better for a couple reasons: First, a lot of the items on the food menu were unavailable! Maybe the lounge was waiting for a food inventory delivery? Who knows? My friend tried to order three food items off the menu, and for each item the bartender said “I have to check with the kitchen to see if we have it!” They didn’t have the three items. My friend settled for the steamed shrimp. 🤷🏾‍♀️ My second and last issue/complaint: We both ordered a delicious pink martini-style drink (I forgot the exact name). The drink was good but it was mainly juice/sugar/grenadine— it hardly had any alcohol. It tasted like we were drinking a really good pink lemonade beverage lol. I will give this lounge another chance and most likely several more chances because it’s near my house. They should just stop skimping on the alcohol and have most menu items in stock!“

“Great locals dive bar / pub that is a fun atmosphere and good down to earth friendly people on both sides of the bar. Karaoke 🎤 was going on later in night for St Patricks Day and a great time was had by all!!!! Check out this spot if you're in the Parkville/Carney area hun!!!!“

“THE ATMOSPHERE IS SOO NICE CLEAN BOUGIE ! And upper class small but very cool to go to ! The bartender is very nice and good at her job, she makes very good drinks and she has good energy! I rate 10-10 period no discrimination or stereotyping us she was very respectful and nice I love her will come back found my new bar best old fashioned I ever had man“

“Best Burger I've ever had!“

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

“We live right around the corner and drive past this place constantly. We've lived in Parkville for five years and came here for a Bluey brunch sometime last summer with our toddler. We decided to try the actual restaurant part tonight for dinner. The food was outstanding and our waiter was attentive and very friendly. Very lively, festive atmosphere, but my one complaint is, MAN, was it loud in there. My daughter spent the first 10 minutes after we got there holding her ears because it was so noisy. But I guess that's to be expected from one of the most popular local restaurants in town. Will most definitely be back!“

“Definitely enjoyed myself. Danced and ate my food. Food took a little long but I will say one thing still had a good time. Felt comfortable.“

“Great Dive bar- .50 cent pool tables- cheap drinks and good eats - locals hangout-“

“Absolutely horrible breakfast food! Got an order from Uber Eats and tried to call and they said all I could do was bring the food back for them to make a new one!! Absolutely not! First, I don’t have a car, that’s why I ordered Uber eats!!! Second, I don’t want your nasty food after you try to pass off AN ENGLISH MUFFIN as my BUTTERMILK BISCUITS AND GRAVY! Trash food and no accountability. Terrible experience. The burrito is four ingredients and they still forgot the cheese! Scrapple like a soggy chunk of uncooked meat“

“Enjoyed breakfast this morning… the energy was everything ✨The vibes were amazing and the customer service was truly top tier 👏🏽 I ordered the shrimp 🍤 & grits along with the the Mr had French toast 🍞 — absolutely delicious! Thanks Taylin for the for the outstanding service...“

“I Loved the Atmosphere and Friendliness from the Owner. I had my Baby-shower here in March. He has a space in the Backyard and it can accommodate at least 50 people. He was very kind, he made it an open cash bar since I couldn’t have alcohol but that was totally fine. He takes the trash out at the end of the night so all I had to do was clean up. I am definitely having a Party here and the space was Affordable. Thank you for everything! I will be back soon!“

“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“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Citron Baltimore while celebrating a friend’s birthday! The owner, Charles, and his wife were incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The food was nothing short of amazing—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was incredible, with a perfect blend of elegance and warmth that made the celebration extra special. Highly recommend this gem of a spot—can’t wait to come back!“

“Great fish and chips and Irish stew. Always a fun, lively atmosphere. A little known nugget- they have a free parking lot behind! 🍀🇮🇪“

“We went there on a humble for my son's Birthday. The food was delicious. The service was top notch. My aunt didn't like her food and the management went above and beyond to correct the issue. I will definitely eat there again and recommend. The atmosphere is very warm. I highly recommend.“

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

“Friendly staff. Food was delicious. Pretty sure every server in the restaurant dropped something off at our table.“

“The staff was polite and the food came out very fast. There’s a lot of options on the build your own taco paper and they will also accommodate you if you don’t want any ingredient listed. Plus if it hadn’t been raining they have an outdoor covered seating area. It was just raining pretty bad when I visited.“

“Shawn J very attentive to our group“

“Real food the way Baltimoreans like it. Regular white sandwich bread for soft crabs Fried Liver and onions with bacon also. Rare Prime Rib. Just good home cooked food.They miss on a few items but,I've been going for 45 years and it doesn't disappoint. Service is friendly and excellent. Hope it never changes.“

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

“I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I had oxtails, mac and cheese, and cabbage. For what I was eating, i think the price was fair. I rarely eat all of my food but my plate was clean when I was done. The music is played in a separate area that is close enough to hear from the bar but far enough that you can hear while talking to friends. There weren't many people there when we arrived (shortly after opening) but the crowd grew quickly. When I return to the area, I'll visit again.“

“Home cooking. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“haven't been there for quite a while but when I used to go which was not that long ago I enjoyed it a lot it's a small quaint bar with you can have machines you can have darts you can and it's fun fun nice people they only have a small menu but the hot dogs are good homemade soups which are delicious“

“Excellent Food!! And great atmosphere!!“

“I’m the bartender & if you liked it back then stop in there now !!! All vibes Karaoke Tuesday night Game nights on Wednesday Toxic Thursdays with a dj Friday & Saturday with a dj & sundays n mondays slow jams & chill vibes“

“Yesterday, I had a 'surprise" 25th wedding anniversary party for my daughter-and son-in-law. It was amazing. Everyone raved about the food. We used a "happy hour" set-up. The private room was set up perfectly. Michael and Kayleigh were attentive to any request of our guests. . The food was superb. The display was appealing to the eye. Everyone had so much fun. I highly recommend Casa Mia's for a casual dinner or a catered party. I thanks to Leah and Mark for all of their in the planning and on the day of the party. Casa Mia's made this a celebration to remember.“

“Best Kenyan Nyama Choma (Grilled Meat) on the east coast hands down. So we all love a good hole in the wall eatery and thats definitely the vibe here. Covid killed the traffic into this place but that's fine cuz there's less of a wait. THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! Simple menu but sooo good. The ambiance is lacking but my eyes were closed as I capture the flavour of the food in every bite so it didn't matter. I meet the owner and he was so nice, inviting and extremely accommodating. Take away is also always an option. If your contemplating getting food from here just stop reading reviews and place your order now, then thank me later. This man knows his craft. Things to remember: at the moment its cash only and since your getting real authentic african style grilled meat there will be a wait but it will be worth every second. Your Welcome.“

“Great shrimp, fries and drinks. Lovely people“

“Great variety of Tacos and house made sauces as well as other Mexican favorites. Tacos were nicely filled with meat and toppings.“

“Food & Drink was Good 😋😛😝😜🍹🍹🍹🍹💃✌️“

“I'd never been to the bar side before, love the liquor store, and decided to stop in. As I was walking in 2 different patrons complimented my hair and jeans. :) I had one drink at the bar and decided to head out. As I was walking to my car the table that had complimented me invited me over to have a drink. Its a friendly place with a friendly atmosphere.“

“this is my favorite bar ever, employyees are super normal and inclusive, would come again!! I love trivia night. and karaoke also is really fun bring your family and kids here definitely!!!! i always see rick here and he is the best. great vegetarian optioms also:)“

“This story is worth sharing. Our Lax team had a tournament in Baltimore, Md this weekend. We stayed at a Holiday Inn that so happened to have a Chili’s Restaurant attached. Our crew wound up at the Chili’s for dinner yesterday evening and met an AMAZING server named Bobby. Our boys raved about Bobby’s service, and invited him to their Sunday…9am…90 degree game. Well, Bobby showed up at their game, with his big personality and smile. He wound up leaving such a great impression on the boys, coaches, and parents that he was part of our team for the day! He complimented the parents on our boys manners and said he wouldn’t miss their game for anything. Despite loosing 1 game and winning another, Bobby was the winner here today! Chili’s Restaurant has a fabulous employee, and Jersey Express 26’ team has a new buddy! I call that a win in my book all day long!“

“My family went to Hightopps tonight for a small memorial for my uncle. The food was delicious, our waitress Bree was great, the general manager, Kirk, was one of my uncles best friends, thank you for your kindness! I never met the owner but I can tell he is an excellent person. Thank you to all of my uncles friends that cared so much for him & for Hightopps wonderful service and kindness as well. I give this place a 10 out of 10. It reminds me a little like Seacrets in OC. Love the atmosphere and outside is so pretty.“

“Had a great server... Helped us make a great choice. friendly and efficient. Thank you Kristen!“
