“I love this bar. It has an incredible atmosphere and those cool glasses you used to get as souvenirs from fast food restaurants in the 1980s. The fried pickles are great. So are the the cocktails and the smashburgers. I got the sausage and eggplant pizza last night. It was good but it could have used more salt.“

“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!“

“What makes a bar a "dive"? First it has to be around for a long long time. MRT yes. Second it can never have it's own website. MRT yes. Third no credit debit cards ever. Cash only. MRT yes. Fourth is cheap and strong drinks available. MRT yes. Never ever been redecorated. It has to look the same as is did 20 30 40 years ago. MRT yes. Optionally shoud be dark inside. MRT yes.

Yes the MRT is a dive. May it never change.“

Westway Liquors Inc Dive Bar • $$
5320 Edmondson Ave #20, Baltimore - 9.84 miles

“This family owned business takes pride in great customer service. I had questions about tequila brands, and multiple members of there staff or should I say family- took the time to show me around, provided information about tastings, connected me with there social media site, and made recommendations for future purchases. Beyond this experience, I was informed of options for unlisted items; they were more than happy to supply a personalized request. There prices for commonly requested and top shelf brands are very reasonable. As an added feature, this establishment has a seated bar area and offers catering services. The environment is very laid-back, very professional and ideal for a neighborhood bar. If you're looking for a great experience I highly recommend you stop by and say hello.“
