7 Best Brewpubs near Ellicott City

“Food is great. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is local and welcoming“

“Very welcoming place. Unpretentious. Drinks were delish. Espresso martini! We love seeing people of varied cultures, just hanging and talking with each other. I was reluctant to get the ribs because I read a review saying they were dry. Mine were delicious. It wasn’t a saucy rib, and that’s how I like it. I’m sure you could ask for sauce. Husband had steak and rice. The staff is very accommodating. The onion rings were great. Wish I had some left! Plenty of TV’s to see a game in the bar area. There is also a dining room area away from the tv/bar area. Comparing this experience to a Navy Yard sports bar yesterday, we enjoyed today’s Bare Bones meal over yesterday’s DC sports bar hands down. Our server was great. Friendly, quick and respectful. It was like going to your friend’s house for a meal. We’ll be back…Definitely to watch some football this season. I’ll have to try something else next time to see if their other dishes fare as well.“

“Five stars for Frisco and the Reckless Shepherd Brew Pub! The Mushroom/Truffle Oil Pizza and Chef Salad were excellent! Super staff. We also enjoyed Trivia Night with family members during our visit to Columbia, Maryland. Easy parking; spacious; casual environment; lots of screens for entertainment. Indoor/outdoor seating.“

“I felt like I was eating pizza at Buddy’s in Detroit. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the brussels sprouts, AWESOME. My food was delivered and was delicious. I look forward to actually going to the tap room and trying other things on the menu. Did I say the food was awesome?😎“

“Awesome beer, friendly staff, delicious food, owners are very cool and kind. Looking forward to coming back!“

“We have made jailbreak one of our favorite spots when we are in the area. We recently had a dry aged fish and a steak board. To say we were amazed and impressed doesn’t even describe how fantastic the food was and how much we enjoyed it. In addition to the excellent food the staff was top notch to make sure we knew what each item on the boards were. It is something we will definitely do again.“

“Made a stop at the Flying Dog during a layover. The burger was delicious! When I was halfway to my gate, I realized that I left my jacket behind. I ran back to the restaurant but Sam the server had taken my jacket and brought it to the gate. She went over and above. Thanks Sam!!!“
