“amazing food, best sours on the east coast, fantastic friendly staff. what more could you ask for?“

“I had the pleasure of participating in the tour (Guided Tour & Tasting - Brewing Focus in Baltimore) which I highly recommend. The tour guide representative was friendly, energetic and funny. The facility itself is state of the art and breathtaking. I highly recommend doing one of the tours they provide and it is family friendly with restaurants and they have their store.

I purchased a Guinness T-Shirt for my younger brother but I misplaced this at the store. I emailed customer service and the retail manager (she knows who she is) was very kind to send a new T-Shirt free of charge by overnight mail to my hotel in Baltimore. This was truly a class act and my hats goes off to her and her wonderful team that she manages. Thank you for a great day.“

“Very good beer flavors beer on tab. They serve and sell hand crafted beers with unique flavors. Very chill indoor bar with a large room that serves as a party/event area. When I went they had a food vendor there and the food was top notch.
Pricing was affordable and on point with the high quality beers. Staff was attractive and kind as well as knowledgeable“

“We had a great time....but almost left before we got started. We had reservations, got a table right away, and then sat...and sat....15 min's later one of our group went to find a waiter and we were told to use a QR code to order....ok we are pretty with it, but we all had to get out our phones, our reading glasses, attempt to sign in to find the menu, we had questions about the beers and about the food, we had to try to figure out how to join the table group so we didn't have 5 bills...and just as we were getting fully flustered a very helpful young man came over and said he would be glad to help us...whew!! He was helpful and knowledgeable! He saved the day! We had great beer, delicious food, and a fun time!! Just a suggestion, when you see a more mature group, you may want to send help fast! We order a lot if we get to speak human!“

“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. “

“Excellent place for HH. They have Toast tab so everyone can be separate. They have long tables so a large group. They have games like cornhole and pool. The drinks are QUICK. This is the regular HH spot for my job. It’s just so easy. Also lots of parking.“

“Out of the way location, actually somewhat hard to find even for Google maps. The layout is kind of a separate bar and food truck format, which is fine. Chique industrial vibe. Every single person I encountered that worked there was more than awesome, they stood out above everything. The food... My wife got the Chicken strips, I got the 75 day dry aged burger, upgraded to o truffle fries. Their fries are good but very pungent with garlic. We actually took a lot of them home and recooked them in our air fryer and both agreed they were far better. The chicken strips were soft, moist, crispy batter, but the extra batter flavor was just hard to place, we agreed that it tasted like it was trying to be fancy. Same with the burger. The burger I ordered was medium, I'd say it was closer to medium rare / rare which I'm fine with, but when you're buying a $30 burger... I personally found the burger to be extremely unique and really liked it. My wife could have passed on the bay leaf blend. I really liked the unique flavors. It's not a large burger and not something I'd get again but I did enjoy it. Oh, their beer is awesome on every level so there's that!“

“Today is my son’s birthday, and he goes to BJ’s every year to celebrate. The food is great and the service is good . Every year during the holidays, their restaurant has a promotion where you get a $20 bonus card for every $100 gift card you buy—I love it!“
