Reckless Shepherd Brewing Co. Brewpubs • $$
8895 McGaw Rd, Columbia - 5.63 miles

“A 5 star casual dining environment!

We found ourselves in the area around lunch and decided to stop in at the Reckless Shepard. I’ve heard several people refer it but hadn’t gone myself until now. For casual dining, this spot is great. Spacious and airy, it boasts several long high tops, two seater high tops for a more intimate feel, bar seating and an area for a private party.
There is a stage with ample lighting to make any night of the week; the best night. Multiple projectors spanned the room with a soft glow coming from the big distillery room. The ambience was really cool. We certainly appreciated the 90’s nostalgic playlist of music videos playing just loud enough to know your songs but continue your conversation.

We ordered a pizza, fries, wings, latkes, and a Cobb salad to go with our margarita, hazy IPA, and blue motorcycle. Everything was fresh and hot and savory. The drinks were delicious and well portioned! You scan for the menu and add your items so we only experienced the server when food was brought out but he was super nice still.
I loved the sauce on the pizza, light and tomatoey and savory as well!

The bathrooms were large and clean and the parking was ample for a Friday. We would certainly consider hosting an event or celebration here!“

“First time we went the Flatbread and fries were awesome. This time we tried the Aged Waygu, it was ok, definitely not worth the $200 bill. Overcooked, not very flavorful, maybe the chef was having a bad kitchen day. Wouldn’t mind trying something else, maybe next time.“

Guinness Store House Brewery •
5001 Washington Blvd, Halethorpe - 6.19 miles

“Going to many places, you can really see the attention to detail to the point that even the Ketchup is spiced up. The food quality is excellent and is a mix of restaurant quality while still being 'bar food'. Overall very recommended. Oh yeah, and I guess the beer is good too.

Parking: Never had issues. “

They were knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and made everything feel easy and stress-free. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in providing excellent service. It’s rare to come across a team that’s both professional and personable, but Dave and Jason nailed it. I’ll definitely be coming back because of the outstanding service they provided, highly recommend asking for them if you visit!“
