“Had an amazing time at Brewers! I haven’t been here in years and let me tell you the time I had phenomenal. When I walked in the live music from the band was great!! Everyone was dancing, our server Jessica did above and beyond !! She allowed us to still order crabs 20 mins after they stopped steaming crabs , all of our food was perfect and she was very attentive. THE BEST SERVICE I’ve had in years. I’m happy to return to Brewers after years of neglecting this place. If you go there ask for Jessica I promise you won’t regret it!!!“

“Thursday evening was my first time there. We made a reservation and were seated right away. We were there for steamed crabs. Our server immediately put our order in and brought our drinks. Our crabs came out pretty quickly. I can’t say enough about the two ladies that were serving us. They were very attentive but not to the extreme. Both were very friendly. Our crabs were excellent! Not one light crab. We will definitely go back again. If you’re looking for great food, excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere, Bird River Inn is your place to go. Their food prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge!“

“Stopped in yesterday for the first time!!! I have never felt more comfortable in a bar before. ..I can not wait to go back!! The owner is a wonderful person and the grilled cheese was one of the best I have ever had. I could go on and on....again I am already planning my next trip!!“

“I was out running errands and instead of going for fast food or other popular restaurants, I went to this bar because they had corned beef and cabbage on St Patrick's day which was awesome so I tried their spaghetti and meat sauce. It took a while to get waited on, food was was good. The sides they listed on menu board were extra cost and do not come with your meal which I thought was odd. They didn't have any parmesan cheese for my meal which I missed having. They have plenty of tv's to watch the O's. Pool tables,shuffleboard, several beers on tap. I will go back because I try to support local bussinesses. I think I caught them on an off day thus the reason I gave 4 stars.“

“We discovered this place while visiting and it was great! Excellent atmosphere and the crabby tots were so good! Will definitely be back!“

“Excellence Love Love Tim dale Phil“

“Great shrimp, fries and drinks. Lovely people“

“Speakeasy vibe but kid friendly! Superb food!!!! Standouts were the white bean chili, the guacamole, and the deviled eggs. My two kiddos loved the exquisite wooden ping pong table with leather net, the shuffleboard, and pool tables and the atmosphere was relaxed enough for them to sample all the games while we were waiting for our delicious food. The server was excellent, attentive, kind, friendly. We will def be back!“

They do a lot to keep the customers happy and it's a great place to watch the games...Orioles, Ravens, Caps, etc. Karaoke on Sunday nights is the best; everyone always has a great time. Oh, and the pickle shots...BOOM! I love it here.“

“The server named Rain was the best server I ever had. Her personality was so fun and joyful.. She made sure that we were happy and that we had an amazing time. Her mock tails were delicious... Just the right amount of ginger and lime over that crushed ice.... mmmm We loved the food and it came just in time... The food was hot and tasteful... Prices were reasonable... Our server came back to check on us to make sure we were good. 5 stars.....Rain deserves a big raise.. Her service is worth it. She made the experience.. The Charles Restaurant is blessed to have her as a manager🙂❤️“

“Fun place to watch the Buffalo Bills games!!! Mel, bartender was friendly and very helpful! 🏈🦬“

“Being honest, I had little confidence in the Seahorse Inn, but I can tell you, the food was awesome. The tuna was perfectly cooked. The salad was very fresh and crispy. The green beans seemed cooked from fresh and I thought the red potatoes were exceptionally seasoned. The crab cake was good, and this is coming from a life long Marylander. The reason I rated the inn as a 4 star (almost a 3) is because of the service. I do not fault Katie the bartender. She had 7 tables & the outside bar. Her only help was a 13 year old busboy who she constantly had to go get after bussing the table herself. This place has really excellent food. Ditch the packets of Ken’s dressing & the butter squares and get some more help. You may become that little gem people are always looking for.“

“Love the food, Friends, and Fun!“

“Great place to drink, eat and watch your favorite games. Very clean!“

The bar tender was a sweetheart and took good care of everyone that I was with. She kept the drinks coming and provided some good finger food when we asked her last min.“

“We stopped on a whim today 7/20/25 for a bite to eat. Tony was our bar tender and had great recommendations. We had a cowboy burger and black mussels! It’s a nice clean place and atmosphere. We will be back! Krista & Brad“

“Trading cryptocurrency with a trusted account manager is what can make your dreams come through. For me Edna Albert has the best trading strategies to win. I never believed on any post recommending online trading until I gave her a try and the outcome was great for me. Made a whole lot of profit for me.“

“Food & Drink was Good 😋😛😝😜🍹🍹🍹🍹💃✌️“

“I have been attending the bar for some time and it is like everything is quiet. There is karaoke with an annex and there is security and very good secretaries. The atmosphere and the music very well. But they have to put order in the men's room. Too many people inside a small and dirty bathroom. Great Latin club. DJ on Saturdays plays great music. Everyone was nice, friendly, and welcoming. I had a great time dancing.“

“Under New Management lot of new upgrades in bar excellent food friendly people very nice place to go to“

“We went for a MSU Homecoming event. A very Nice place but the prices for drinks are outrageous. $11 for a beer and $15 for drink is crazy. 🤦🏽‍♂️
The Hookah lady was extremely pleasant.
Awesome music. Just drink before there and or after you leave.“
