“Would like to give a huge shout out to Sarah the bartender we were in there on Saturday place was very busy. even though the cook was swamped Sarah handled it like a champ will certainly return“

“The waitress staff is the best in the area. Never wait for a refill or to be served. They all come over and recognize that you are back and greet you accordingly. The afternoon staff for lunch is the best. I’m not sure of their names but they are the best!!“

“Love Banditos. My very picky 3 year old loves the cheese quesadilla. Everyone is always super friendly. I get the tacos and my 2 favs are Rus & Gus and bang bang shrimp.“

“I had a 50th Birthday party for my brother on Saturday, April 8th, 2023 in the evening. The atmosphere at the restaurant was amazing, food was fresh and hot. The best part was our server "Ciara R", she was excellent and provided the best service to my party guest. I would definitely have another event here and would request to have Ciara again. Overall, Great Time!!“

“Buffalo arancini spring salad w egg lemon curd dessert“

“I organized a work event that was held there today. The service and experience were amazing. From start to finish they were true professionals and all the attendees had a great time. I highly recommend having your next corporate event here and can’t wait to come back.“

“My husband and I stopped by for a drink, and ordered the cream of crab soup, gf fried shrimp, and the honey maple brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious! Special thanks to the bartender, Lee, who was very attentive!“

“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!“

“The is a true local gem. The bar is decorated in a 1970’s theme. They offer old timey beers like Stroh’s and Schaefer as well as inventive cocktails. The menu consists of unique pizzas, sandwiches and salads. Their wings are tender, tasty and delicious. The bar has a pub like quality and the clientele is friendly and welcoming. The Dive is a wonderful new addition to the neighborhood“

“Knotty Pine is a great neighborhood bar & grill in Brewers Hill with a laid-back, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to kick back with friends anytime. Locals praise its friendly service and casual atmosphere — it’s the kind of spot where you can grab a cold beer, catch a game on the TVs, and hang out for hours without feeling rushed.

The menu is surprisingly strong for a bar: smash burgers (especially the Knotty Pine Burger), wings, sweet potato fries, fried pickles, crab dip, and flatbread pizzas are all crowd favorites, and the portions are generous. You’ll also find fun twists like tacos or burrito bowls, so there’s something for different cravings.

The atmosphere feels casual yet lively — perfect for a chill dinner, a few drinks after work, or weekend hangs. A few folks mention parking can be a little tight sometimes, but that small inconvenience doesn’t dim the overall experience.

Overall: Knotty Pine is a friendly, relaxed neighborhood staple with solid pub food, tasty burgers, and a welcoming bar vibe — easy to recommend for laid-back nights in Baltimore.“

“Doug is the best. This is our favorite neighborhood spot. Cocktails are on point, wine selection is simple but good and reasonably priced, and the smash burgers are f-ing fire 🔥 and we love Doug’s company, and Kirsten’s, and all of his staff. We love Southpaw!“

“I heard the stories about this place and it had been closed for a couple of years as the hotel it's in underwent renovation and ownership changes but it's back open and I couldn't be happier.

Steve the bartender is currently a one man show and we were there on the weekend it reopened and he was so happy to be back in his happy place. The man is a cocktail maven who loves his craft and what he does and his customers as well.

There is currently no menu here you ask for what you want or can tell Steve what you are in the mood for and he will make something amazing!

I got a smoked old fashioned that he smokes with his own blend of wood and spices and it was easily in the Top 5 of best old fashioneds I've ever had.

If you are in Fells Point looking for a cocktail and Anchor Tavern is open make sure you visit!“

“Our new favorite spot in Fells Point.“

“Excellent service and great cocktails!“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“good food.good staff. awsome drinks“

“Best bar ever. Incredible food. Friendly!!!“

“For a bar on the outside it’s not like a looker but don’t let that steer you away. They have a small food menu but they do it Good. I got chicken tenders and a chicken cheesesteak both were yummy. If you want a cool afternoon drink and lunch with a chill vibe this is the spot. The bar tender Sharon was very polite and sweet and the cook even came out to deliver the food to us. I would highly recommend this bar for budget food and drink for a good buck👍🤟“

“Excellence Love Love Tim dale Phil“

“Great food and free live music. Friendly staff.“

“If they have the seafood quesadilla on special it was delicious! It was filled with shrimp, crab meat and cheese. Muy deliciosis! 👌“

“Great entertainment! Awaken & Surreal“

“This place is so cozy and adorable. The food was truly so tasty. The tendies and fries were clearly much more elevated than your standard pub version. Great mocktails too! Friendly service and a really fun idea to be able to buy art to do at a bar. A Baltimore must go!“

“Always a great time at Pig & Rooster! The beer selection is varied, the pizza is sooo satisfying, and the vibes are impeccable. I also recommend the Caesar salad - it’s got a yummy honey mustard flavor that makes it a delightful departure from your typical bar salad. Go for music trivia on thursdays, it’s a great time!!“

“Fantastic, legit cheesesteaks on Amoroso rolls“

“Best live music band and craft beer.“

“This is the spot to be!!!! Great bartenders.“

“Max's Taphouse is one of my favorite spots in Fells Point sometimes service can be a little tough here because there's usually only one bartender however it is a fantastic spot and one of the oldest bars in Fells Point I highly recommend you at least visit once in order to check it out there's so many bars in Fells Point it's hard to hit them all but this is one of my favorites the food is fantastic beer selection is great however I did ask the bartender about cider and he immediately said we only have it in cans which was wrong they had two different ciders on draft so maybe just read the menu for yourself since it seems to bartender may not know exactly what's on draft. If you are a cider fan I highly recommend you check out the DownEast fall cider it is delicious and on draft I'll recommend it since the bartender didn't even seem to know!“

“Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“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.“

“This place is very low key and inviting. The drinks were amazing, the cool part about this place is that they have the NA version of the drinks as well. ABC cocktail is very very good. This is the first place I liked the hot cocktail. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great vibes and great music and love the bartender Maria ♥️“

“Great Dive bar- .50 cent pool tables- cheap drinks and good eats - locals hangout-“

“Just stopped in to cool off and enjoy some brews! Loved the selection of whiskey and beers on tap🍻. Makes me want to listen to Irish ☘️ music as soon as we walked in! Bartender was very nice and professional. ✌️👍👍must check this one out 🫵🚗💨“

“Had brunch there this morning and it was super yummy. The only complaint is that the bar chairs are not comfortable. I was in jeans and I was constantly sliding forward. I used my feet to push me back on and hold me there; I shouldn’t have to engage my muscles to sit in a bar chair. Other than that, it was great. Good food, good service, and good bartenders.“

“My friend and I visited this lounge for the first time last month. It is a BEAUTIFUL lounge. A great atmosphere and gorgeous ambiance. The bartender was very nice. However, our experience could have been better for a couple reasons: First, a lot of the items on the food menu were unavailable! Maybe the lounge was waiting for a food inventory delivery? Who knows? My friend tried to order three food items off the menu, and for each item the bartender said “I have to check with the kitchen to see if we have it!” They didn’t have the three items. My friend settled for the steamed shrimp. 🤷🏾‍♀️ My second and last issue/complaint: We both ordered a delicious pink martini-style drink (I forgot the exact name). The drink was good but it was mainly juice/sugar/grenadine— it hardly had any alcohol. It tasted like we were drinking a really good pink lemonade beverage lol. I will give this lounge another chance and most likely several more chances because it’s near my house. They should just stop skimping on the alcohol and have most menu items in stock!“

“10 out of 10! Great food, amazing service and delicious drinks. Can't wait to go back!“

“Hey there! 🙌 So, I dropped by this spot the other day to catch the Ravens game since ticket prices have gone sky high. 💰 I just wanted a cool place to hang, kick back, and enjoy the game without blowing my budget. And boy, did I hit the jackpot! 🎉 This place was beyond amazing! The lady in charge of the kitchen, even with all the buzzing business, was incredibly pleasant. She even managed to keep my friend, who was quite enjoying the reasonably priced cold beers 🍻 and starting to toss around some colorful language, in check. All with the kindest demeanor. Loved it! This is definitely a family-friendly and safe spot to chill at. 👌👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 A huge thank you to the team there for the amazing time. When I'm back in the area, y'all are absolutely my first choice. 🙏 Stay safe everyone and Go Ravens! 🏈💜✨“

“Excellent experience! While my bestie was having brain surgery at Johns Hopkins I walked down to this neighborhood bar. I met the manger Dave and the bartender Merideth. Awesome people they listened to what I was going through and they were so kind and understanding. The environment is awesome and so is the clientele. Good music everything from punk, rock, and pop. But it definitely wasn’t to loud. A total non judgement zone. All different walks of life. Great pool table also. I will be visiting this bar every time I’m in Baltimore. This is definitely a hidden gem in charm city! Thanx Spirit Tavern!“

“Honig Napa Cab… it was an honorable visit with a friend from Israel, who said that she felt very safe and comfortable and totally enjoyed then experience at this establishment. She felt “no racism here” her words .. we had a good time … I had the Honig Cab X2 … or 3… I lost count …she had Negroni. Great service … amazing experience. They have a Moet vending machine as shown. Please forgive me. I did not try the food. I just was focused on drinks on this visit.“

“Si es un lugar muy bueno para salir de la rutina , la comida rica muy bien todo yo soy mexicana y me encanta ese lugar 💃🏻💃🏻🍹🥂🍹“

“I hosted a surprise 30th birthday for my husband at HYC last night. Everyone I dealt with from the moment I reached out to inquire about hosting an event there up until the end of the event last night were fantastic. I ordered food from the catering menu and everyone in attendance commented on how great the food was. Our bartender and server were great as well and I was checked on several times to make sure that everything was going well. We had a great time with great food and drinks and I would highly recommend hosting an event here!“

“I love this place. The restrooms and bar aea are always spotless. The beer is cold, and the cutie on duty Delores is such a pleasure to talk to. I wish all bars had a cutie on duty with such style, class, and personality like Delores. The owner is very nice and always carries a smile. He brought my friend and I a drink last time.“

“I went for the first time yesterday for happy hour. I've been craving oysters. I was not disappointed. The bartender was great, the bar crowd was fun, food fantastic and drinks were perfect. Will definitely be a regular at this spot!“

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

“Venice Tavern is absolutely the best dive bar in Baltimore ��“

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

“I Loved the Atmosphere and Friendliness from the Owner. I had my Baby-shower here in March. He has a space in the Backyard and it can accommodate at least 50 people. He was very kind, he made it an open cash bar since I couldn’t have alcohol but that was totally fine. He takes the trash out at the end of the night so all I had to do was clean up. I am definitely having a Party here and the space was Affordable. Thank you for everything! I will be back soon!“
