50 Best Sports Bars near Essex

“Hannah was so great. Never had to wait for anything. She was on top of it all“

“Nothing like the Birdland; ½ lb steamed shrimp 🦐 & ½ lb wings 🐔— the perfect combo. Had to get a ½ dozen crabs too 🦀 Great food, even better company, and top-tier service every time, thanks to Stephanie! We truly love being able to have dinner here!“

“I want to preface by saying the food was amazinggg. I’m quite picky but out of the 4 things we picked off the menu, nothing disappointed. Chicken Caesar wrap with fries, a seafood quesadilla, wings, and crab dip. Two appetizers but everything came out at the same time unfortunately.The location is nice for a sunny day and they have a live band on Sundays, we just missed them since they stop playing at 5pm. The service however, was the worst I’ve ever experienced. You can seat yourselves and then a random server will come and greet you to. Seemed that the servers do not have a designated section like most restaurants do. Dallas came to greet us, ask what drinks we want. Told her a marg and my partner wanted a beer. Took her 15 minutes to bring it. By the time she brought it, we already knew what we wanted from the menu. It was not packed, lotsss of empty tables. Told me she couldn’t find the strawberry puree that the drink called for so she used a “discontinued” syrup. Offered to make me a new one if I didn’t like it. Seems nice of her until that was the very last time we saw her for another HOUR. NO I am NOT exaggerating. To no surprise the drink tasted disgusting, couldn’t even finish a sip. After waiting 45 minutes for our food, and a busser bringing it to us. Still no waitress in sight. I now have no drink for my meal and neither does my boyfriend because who needs 45 minutes to finish one beer bottle. We were almost finished eating when she decided to finally join us. I’m not saying she had to babysit us but damn come ask me if we want refills especially since you offered to remake it or ask if our food even came out right. Me and my partner go to restaurants on average twice a week and we have never been so neglected. It’s funny because we would see her talking to other tables and whatnot here and there but she couldn’t be bothered by us. Also the other tables around us had the kindest servers that were actually doing their job & I had to bother them so we could get containers to go. Would go back for the food but definitely asking for anyone but Dallas. Guess she doesn’t care of the service she gives or even showing face to us because of the automatic gratuity added to the bill. I’m not sure about anyone else, but I only get paid if I do my job. And if you get paid to do nothing please let me know so I can quit my job & join you.“

“Great entertainment! Awaken & Surreal“

“Excellent staff and very polite! Food is a great value & the portions are more than fair. Overall I would recommend The Tempo Lounge!“

“It was very quite. And the bar person working seemed very nice and friendly. Will stop in again sometime.“

“Wow! We ordered carryout from Ellie’s Tavern and were absolutely blown away. The food was incredible — huge portions, hand-cut fries, house-made blue cheese, and perfectly hand-breaded chicken tenders. The Crab Rangoon dip and Buffalo Cauliflower were outstanding. The service was awesome — fast and friendly — even while busy. We can’t wait to dine in next time. What an awesome Canton neighborhood gem!“

“Good service good people lots of good pool shooters bartending Mike good people“

“Sports pub with some pet friendly outdoor seating. My husband loved his burger & fries. I really enjoyed the 3 shrimp tacos. Preferring their fried shell over the soft. The beans & rice were very flavorful but dry. Had our dog with us so we sat at a sidewalk table. Server was very friendly and helpful.“

“great service, great music, great atmosphere“

“We had my sons 30th Suprise birthday party at Stuggy's food and drink were awesome. Matt and his staff were awesome. Would highly recommend you going to Stuggy's. You won't be disappointed.“

“Fantastic spot ! DJ approved, Definitely worth a visit. Friendly service.“

“Always a great time, fun crowd, excellent food, and the best service!“

“I love going to this place but my husband to go dancing or just to do some karaoke even or even maybe some pool who doesn't love to shoot pool but best of all it's a great life Club Hispanic music American music they know how to mix it up I guarantee you if you're a clubber and you go one time you will continue great prices as well you won't regret it check it out for yourself“

“Love this place! Great atmosphere, great staff, very friendly place.“

“When Slim was alive and the front and back of the bar were connected, you could eat fried chicken cooked in black cast iron skillets; listen to Slim talk about gambling back in the day, and dance the night away.Alot has changed but what remains are good people enjoying Ravens Football, pulsating rythems, and beverage.A great example of the Baltimore neiborhood bar.“

“(Translated by Google) The best place to have a good time I recommend it I invite you very friendly and very good to spend with the family to have a drink(Original)El mejor lugar para pasar una buena lo recomiendo los invito muy amigable y muy bueno para pasar en familia para tomar“

“Absolutely delicious soup!
The broth is rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced — not spicy at all, just right. The meat is without any fat or tough veins, and that is extremely important to me. It tastes very fresh, not like deep-frozen meat, and it’s incredibly soft and tender.
The soup is simply excellent. I actually hunt for authentic Mexican soups like this! I’m a truck driver, and most of the food I come across on the road is terrible… but this place is a big exception.
Thank you so much for serving real, high-quality food!“

“Everything. love the staff.“

“Gretta was great. Had 1 bad crab out of 12 Kate replaced no problem and no questions asked.“

“Thank Hamilton Sports Bar & Grill for allowing me to host my June book signing tour!“

“I’ve visited Silks Sports Bar a few times now, and each experience has been consistently great. The service by Abby is always on point, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the drinks are well-made. Definitely a spot I look forward to returning to.“

“A wonderful find, just a short, safe walk from the cruise terminal where our ship had just docked on Monday night.Large choice of beers and a good, lively atmosphere with music and sports on the tvs. We didn’t eat but the food looked good.“

“This place is wild. You can have some very good food, ice cold beer/drink, great service and bet all at the same time. WOW“

“Went to Fantasies for the first time the other day and was really impressed. Met a couple really amazing dancers. Victoria, Brooke, Cara, Sol and several others are as good as you’ll find anywhere in the country! Also had some fantastic chicken tenders!!“

“The service provided was first class. I went with a group of friends to watch the NFL DRAFT. The food was great and the staff were awesome. I would highly recommend this restaurant. we will be going back.“

“The girl who waited on us was AWESOME😉😉 Friendly and very helpful!! been there a few times..going back soon“

“We went to dinner here this evening with a large party of 10. While we enjoyed our food and our server was great our overall experience was not 🤦🏼‍♀️. I don’t know if we just had an evening of bad luck or what. First after sitting there a bit a VERY large picture fell off of the wall directly onto me and my 18 month old daughter, then there was a gnat in our drink, and my dad walked outside and a piece of shingle fell off and hit him in the head. Like, I seriously couldn’t make this up. 🤣 like I said food was good and so was our waiter but I feel like a little more could have been done after the picture situation. A cupcake and free drink didn’t really cut it. Had it just fallen on me I wouldn’t have been so upset but the fact that it fell on my daughter made my soul leave my body. We will give it another shot at some point and chock tonight up to the full moon or something just be careful where you sit your kiddos.“

“absolutely the best dinner i’ve had in a longgggg time. we split the steak and crab cake and we were so completely satisfied!!! will come back soon and often!!“

“good food.good staff. awsome drinks“

“The Worthington is an awesome bar in Canton square, we will for sure be coming back. Not only was the food and drinks really good but so was our service by our bartender Leo!

Leo was an outstanding bartender he was welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about what he does! He did a great job at explaining the many drinks they had and offering his advice on if we would like them or not. Because of his recommendations we tried our first espresso martini (highly recommend) he also made great food recommendations. We ended getting the fondue Burger and the Buffalo wings, the fondue burger I highly recommend! The wings were also good. After eating here and having drinks we will for sure be coming back
What really stood out above the food and drinks was Leo’s friendly personality and attention to detail during our lunch at the Worthington. It is hard to find a bartender who actually cares about the patrons these days but Leo made sure to be vested in the conversation you were having with him and even if something pulled him away from the conversation we were having he made sure to comeback and pick it back up where we left off!“

“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.“

“I just wanted to say what an awesome experience Barracudas and Billy provided for my family. We held a surprise 90th birthday party for my Mom there on Saturday and it was perfect. The food was delicious as usual and the service was phenomenal. Abby did a great job taking care of us. Big shout out to the kitchen staff and everyone else who assisted in making my Mom feel loved and appreciated. I live 2 hours from the restaurant, but I make it a point to stop in almost everytime for food and drinks. Everyone has their own opinion concerning the restaurant and staff. In 10 years I have never had a bad experience here or seen anything out of the ordinary reacting to the staff or ownership. I have seen intoxicated patrons but that's it. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal or a drink. You won't be disappointed.“

“Great place to play pool and have some drinks. Owner is laid back and is very aware of what is happening. Takes good care of the place. There are several pool tournaments and league play. Good people patronize this place. Everyone gets along. Bar tenders are very attentive.“

“Always a good time. Great drinks & food.“

“I love Sharky’s and Jen is AMAZING!!!!! Best bartender in all of Baltimore. My favorite human“

“It was dollar 🦀 chill spot drinks was nice would go again“

“Awesome place. Good beer. Great atmosphere.“

“If you are looking for a place to be harassed for your ethnicity and the way you speak COME HERE. The bartenders (girls) will make sure to make you feel like you don’t belong here.“

“Cool place. Great beer selection. Great owners and awesome bar staff.“

“I recently dined at your establishment with my fiancee ..... I ordered the filet minon medium/well and it was cooked perfectly. we will definitely be back!“

“Got pizza, nachos and wine delivered. Such yums and friendly delivery.“

“Amazing food and wonderful service.“

“The overall experience was excellent“

“IND Luncheon class of "71. The food was excellent, and the service was very good. The ladies were all saying how good the food was! We did in March and coming back in April. I would recommend Bowman. I eat there every Monday in the bar. I am never disappointed.“

“Perfect whole in the wall with the best wings in the city!

Been coming here for years and always on remains top tier wings. If you like spice, I recommend chef style cooked hard with suicide and inferno sauce. Will not disappoint, enjoy!“

“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“
