50 Best Bars near Pikesville

“Went for breakfast today. Got eggs and scrapple. Everything cooked perfectly. First time that we've been to the new location. We loved going there when they were in Owings Mills. The space is big and the selection of prepared foods and gourmet grocery items is wonderful. Everyone that waited on us was friendly. Can't wait to go back.“

“Restaurant is clean. Four booths, one table and a couple of chairs at the sushi bar. They do NOT take reservations. Nota BYOB. They do have an Adult Beverage menu. Just ask for it.

The order came out quickly. Presentation and freshness is as good as Sushi Q2. Everything was delicious.“

“The atmosphere is friendly and lively. the cocktails were interesting, and may have even converted my gin-hating husband. The bartenders, Ted especially, really rounded out the experience. one of the best places in the city!!!!!“

“I celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday. It was a beautiful experience and budget friendly. The food was great and customer service was very good. The ambience was nice and the music was not loud. I am giving a 4 star only because we hoped the place would have a little dessert for the birthday girl. Overall my experience was great. Will recommend.“

“This place is such a hidden gem. I love that it’s in a very nondescript, mysterious location. The vibes are immaculate and I had the best cocktail of my life here (caffe pistachio) and they are delicious and reasonably priced. My only criticism is that the music was a bit odd, it felt like I was in a yoga studio. otherwise i would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique, true speakeasy vibe for an after dinner cocktail.“

“I go to foleys all the time and I love it there! The wings are amazing and I love all the Guinness combos they have. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a tv in place of the chalkboard that is above the middle of the bar. If you’re sitting in the middle of the bar you have to crane your neck around to watch anything, having a tv there would be awesome!“

“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!“

“Went on a Friday night and the drinks were bangin' and the staff very responsive. Never waited very long at rhe bar to order, and the drinks were well balanced with a diverse menu. Love this newer addition to the Clavel/WC Harlan family.“

“The Backyard is the best neighborhood bar in Baltimore. Expertly curated wine and spirit list, knowledgeable and friendly staff with amazing food and cocktails that are all very reasonably priced. It is am absolute hidden gem!“

“This is a typical bar with with bar food. No Different than TGI Friday, except a little better. The service is "OK" the servers are untrained as to waiting on tables. The first thing that should be brought to tables is eating utensils and napkins, the water. The tables dont have slat & pepper available for their patrons, you need to ask for it. The menus are not placed in front of customers upside down. (And I even brought it to her attention and she still didn’t correct it) ?? All in all the server was trying very hard to be attentive. The food was not terrible, it's typical bar food, and dont expect anything more. The Boom Boom shrimp are pre breaded frozen shrimp with the tails on and then fried and covered in some type of sauce. My daughter liked the boneless chicken wings with hot sauce. The onion rings I thought were good. I ordered the toasted Italian sub and wasn't offered the option to get tater tots -vs- fries. I didn’t realize this till later and the fries were soggy. I think this is an "OK" spot for someone looking for a bar atmosphere and same for the food & service.“

“Great neighborhood hang out. Patrons are totally chill and everyone is there for a good time. Bar tenders are awesome. Reasonably priced with lots of events. 10/10“

“I couldn’t love this place more. From all the laughter Spencer gives me to loving all the tricks and having my mind blown! Then to the other half of the show, Nicole being an awesome bartender I do believe I’m gonna make this a yearly event with my wife and always try to get more people to experience this for years to come!!!!!“

“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!“

“What a great local spot! Harry is the best!! Vegas loves u!“

“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!“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“Excellence Love Love Tim dale Phil“

“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“

“We celebrated my daughter's bachelorette party weekend at the Power plant. I'm not that much into Country music, but the PBR was definitely the best part of the trip!“

“Our new favorite spot in Fells Point.“

“I had the soup. My friends had other dishes. We love going around town to the hidden golden nuggets of Baltimore. The food excellent!
The place is a treasure. TEACHERS, This place is a great meet up location. Great seating make this place a great gathering or meeting place.
As. Notary this is closer than some major fast foods to meet with customers for their signings.“

“This is a great local bar with a lot of character. You won't find friendlier people anywhere. Classic old school decor inside and on the night we were there, DJs spinning the disks at your request. Wander upstairs and check out the record store while you're there. This is a must hang in Baltimore.“

“It made me feel like home! 😍“

“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!“

“The cheeseburger was fantastic! The bartender was superb for drinks and conversation. Dive bar excellence.“

“I came here after dinner in Fells, and it was such a cool, swanky vibe—definitely not what I expected from a hotel bar in Baltimore!

Drinks were good and reasonably priced, but it did take a while to get our order in. We didn’t have to wait for a table (even on a busy weekend), which was a win for our group of four.

Great spot for a date night or hanging out with friends. Giving it a 3.5 but rounding up because the vibes were good.“

“Awesome place. Good beer. Great atmosphere.“

“I really enjoyed myself I can’t wait to come back“

“The beer selection is great, along with wine and cocktails as well! You can grab a beer here before you browse the food options in the marketplace, which is what I do.Service is always good and friendly, and you can get a taste of a beer before you commit to a whole glass, which is always awesome.They also do beer to go! You can get a reusable container of any of the beers.

Parking: Street parking is rarely a problem! Just check the signs to confirm you're in a good spot, but in general it's not a problem at all!“

“Great place for all genres of music worshippers to come together and JAM !“

“Worked there years ago for John. He has passed but the memories are still there. Oh the things I did on that pool table. LOL Great memories.“

“Cozy spot with a laid back vibe, good cocktails, nice beer selection, and amazing music.“

“Section 771 helped to raise nearly $5000 for the Wishlist Foundation! Thank you for hosting the Pearl Jam PreParty! Your staff was friendly, fast, and kind. Best bar bathrooms in Baltimore! Super clean facility. Check them out before Orioles and Ravens games. Thank you for supporting the community!“

“Amazing atmosphere and fantastic service. 100s of bourbon choices.“

“Amazing bar ! Great drinks 🍹 great customer service! Great atmosphere“

“One of our Favs! Wine tastings with Wayne❤️Meg rocks. Tristan is the best.“

“great venue, very friendly and professional staff. first venue I've ever been to that let me take my merch haul out to my car so I didn't have to worry about lugging it around or standing in line waiting after the show ended. Also quick to respond to questions. Thank you for a great show experience!“

“Really cool atmosphere, tasty food, thirst quenching drinks and live music. Can't think of a better way to spend a Friday evening! You won't be disappointed. 🙂 🍔 🍻 🎸“

“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.“

“Great food. Alexis was the best server ever!!!“

“Mount Royal Tavern is the epitome of a dive bar. 90% of its patrons are long-standing locals who have been coming there regularly for years to unwind their day with a drink or three. Always like a family environment. Always welcoming newcomers. The only food served is something very close to chips and pretzels but you're free to bring your own or get something delivered. Drinks are cheap. I mean CHEAP, but not diluted, with very generous servings. When it's warm, they often throw the grill on in the back and you never know if someone is serving fish that they just caught or just some hot dogs with a few others who've chipped in to do a potluck. This establishment has been around for decades. If you've ever seen Cheers, Mount Royal Tavern is definitely the Baltimore equivalent, but better.“

“Terrific new local small business in OEC making great Vodka and Gin!! This is run by a great friend of mine and will be a terrific addition to OEC.“

“I've never been in the actual bar Part but if I have to go to a liquor store in the neighborhood it is by far the best one. Good selection, reasonable prices, tend to keep a lot of the riff Raff and beggars from hanging out. The owners and people that work there are very nice also. There's at least 12 liquor stores right here within walking distance and if they're open they're the ones that I spend my money with. Even late at night I feel safe going to the ATM here.“

“Shuffles is a great spot to grab a cold drink and some good food. The burger and chicken parm are top notch and the specials are always delicious!“

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

“I reallly enjoyed my time here! I was able to catch a comedy show, & I hear they do brunch & other private events. I can't wait to come back! I got the Caribbean Blue, I believe it's called, & man on man ‍. Even the servers seemed to enjoy them selves, I love that bc they treated their customers w care & actually seemed to enjoy what they do! & DAMMIT are they good I live not too far, so I'll def be a regular. Can't wait for nfl szn, the Flock will be IT for me“

“Great service by Nolan and great food“

“A great place to enjoy some of Baltimore's BEST rye whiskey!“

“Always a good time and friendly atmosphere“
