50 Best Pubs near Towson

“Melanie was amazing! Although there was a miscommunication about a reservation we had, she was able to quickly find meaningful solutions.
I enjoyed the pineapple crush as well as the nachos and mozzarella sticks. My friends and I had a great time here. One of the best spots in Towson Uptown.“

“Excellent Food!! And great atmosphere!!“

“Wonderful staff! Friendly and on point. Food was amazing!“

“My friend and I have been trying Pubs and eateries in the Baltimore area and this one popped up on Trip Advisor. We decided to give it a try and we are glad we did. This is a friendly neighborhood Pub and Grill that screams good food & service. The lady running the grill should be named a grill master with everything she makes. The burgers are at least ¾ of a pound of quality beef and made exactly the way you ask and the fries are freshly cut and prepared. I also had the Jerk Chicken strips, which were delicious (Not the quantity I expected for $12.00) but very good. I saw the wings come out for someone else and they looked good too. The young lady making drinks was exceptional with her knowledge of mixology. I am going to make it a point to bring my neighbor and her boyfriend here next time. I live on the North side of Baltimore city, but this is worth the drive.“

“This bar is the perfect mix of nostalgia, eclectic funk, and delightful interesting people. Came here on a Sunday afternoon to listen to some live music. Everybody is friends here they have tons of beer on tap, yummy cocktail. And the type of decor that keeps you discovering something every minute. Shout out to David and Morgan for taking such good care of their patrons. Will be spending my whole summer here! Rock on! 🤘 💕🙌🏽“

“Great pizza and bourbon selection“

“Wonderful food and drinks, as expected based on past experiences at Le Comptoir du Vin. However, our meal was dampened by the attitude of the bartender the night we visited. Simple requests and questions earned us snarky responses, and we were scolded for resting the drink menu on the bar a certain way. We were walking on eggshells by the end of the meal. I understand that heavy crowds and short staffing make things difficult, but give your customers some grace.“

“Had the crab cakes they were phenomenal very lump and perfectly made“

“My wife and I went here for the first time while visiting spots in Baltimore associated with Edgar Allen Poe. This place is advertised as one of his last stops before he mysteriously died and we visited here on the same day we visited the house he lived in for 2 years between 1833-35 and after visiting his grave site in Baltimore. While food and service were excellent, we were also excited to enjoy live music while we ate. This is a bar and is probably the reason for how dimly lit it was in places in the bar, but that's why I rated the atmosphere as 4 stars. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our wine, food and the time we visited and will definitely come back.“

“The people are what make the place. My father (Richard Roden) spent many a year either working there of going for his 3pm beer. The love and caring of these people amaze me and while it was odd being in there today with out him. I understood why he never wanted to miss a day there. Thank you to all for looking after my Dad and giving him a home away from home.“

“The owners are nice , the drink prices are reasonable particularly the beer bucket specials. Everest also has great food at fair prices. I go whenever I can.“

“Came for only a few nights to Baltimore from Texas. People are friendly.. staff is also as well as attentive. Ruben sandwich was great according to my take next to me the blt was just as good. Prices are average but atmosphere and people make it better! Will come back tomorrow before I leave!“

“Great food, good drinks. The bartender was awesome. I think she is the manager as well.“

“Sad that security can't even do their own job and make sure patrons get back to their vehicles safe. This clown decided he was going to assault my daughters mother as she was leaving your establishment & put his hands on her. Then has the audacity to tell her he will smack her while she's on the phone with me. On a better note, I am paying for any information on the gentleman in the picture. Name, address, and I will keep it confidential. This type of behavior from a grown man that can't take no is unacceptable and I need to find him before the police do. Please and thank you. I also have a video of some of the events that she recorded of anyone wants proof.“

“Let me start off by saying I visited this quaint little pub for the first time on 2/25. It's not located in the greatest of neighborhoods but it is well worth the risk of bodily harm to visit. The beer is cold, the bartender was a peach and like a previous reviewer stated, there is even a friendly little fella that lives on a dog bed there. I think he is more of a beer gnome than a hobbit though. He wasn't so friendly at first but once he got a few beers in him he cheered right up. Great place, 5 stars for sure“

“My local dive for 20 years. Always have a good time there! Great bartenders, super friendly owners and really good food! Especially the Cheesesteak and Bayou Jalapeño Burger!“

“Stumbled upon this place after a Ravens game. What a great pub. Jim the owner and Mandy behind the bar were great. Good times were had. Will be back!“

“Best Burger I've ever had!“

“Nice gem in the middle of Perry Hall“

“Miss this place a lot. I used to go a lot when I worked closer to it. Highly recommend trying the Wings of Destiny on your first first visit but there are so many flavors, you will surely find a favorite. And the bartenders there are always super cool.“

“Home of Ravens Roost 138.“

“Great food, people and environment! Always consistent.“

“Very nice place ! Very friendly staff! Great food !! Great service!! Highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“My wife and I were in Baltimore for a wedding and stayed the night. The next morning we found Ale Mary's for brunch, and it was incredible. The prices are so reasonable, the food was delicious and the service was so friendly. We live in Northern Virginia but this place is seriously worth the trip up 95.“

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

“This place is a must for all Poe lovers! Go for the love of Poe and stay for the atmosphere, wonderful staff, and delicious food. We will be back ASAP ❤️“

“We were a little surprised to start the evening by ringing a doorbell to get in, but the warm welcome that followed put us at ease right away. The atmosphere is fantastically unique, quirky, and full of character. The bartenders were genuinely friendly and the service was quick.

We ordered the Mac ’n’ Cheese with Jerk Chicken, Yuca Bites, Chorizo con Arroz y Gandules and the Cinnamon Mini Donuts. Everything was perfectly seasoned (especially great if you enjoy a bit of heat like we do). The only downside was that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side.

It also looks like they host a lot of interesting events like book readings, sip-and-paints, comedy shows and more. We didn’t get a chance to attend one this time, but it definitely added to the charm and made us want to come back.“

“Very nice neighborhood watering hole!! Staff friendly food is fabulous and the music guest this evening was great too!!! We had a very nice evening for being out on a Sunday nigh! Definitely be back!!“

“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“

“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.“

“My friends and I popped in here for some food and drinks before a show and we fell in love. Laura and all the staff were so much fun and provided excellent service and great night. The food was amazing and we would go back 10/10 times. Thank you so much for being awesome!“

“Great place to have dinner with friends“

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

“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 🫵🚗💨“

“Last week We decided to try pubdog for the first time post covid. The food was just as delicious as I remembered, we got the Thai chicken pizza and the dog pound (I think 🤔 It had pepperoni, sausage, chicken it was great) they're beer selection was different than I remember, a few of the house ciders were missing from the menu though it may just be a seasonal thing, Hopefully. That being said best thing was staff they were so kind & accommodating.“

“I had an emotionlly weird day until Aryel and D gave me the best service! They work well together, as a previous bartender/waitress myself you can spot top tier chemistry! The teamwork makes the dream“

“Cool place, brews were good and the appetizer was delicious. Definitely worth checking it out“

“friendly people great ac AND THE KARAOKE SINGERS AND SOUND ARE GREAT good lite food menu the backend salmon salad is to die for wings off the chain pool table on deck take the experience“

“Wow leaving from City Line now 😢 friend recommended City Line for a Re Pass and City Line did us wrong Overcharged Everybody just because you never seen none of Us before we only live 20 minutes away but we are never coming back the waitresses make up their own prices DJ was good but we can't f*** with that“

“My family went to Hightopps tonight for a small memorial for my uncle. The food was delicious, our waitress Bree was great, the general manager, Kirk, was one of my uncles best friends, thank you for your kindness! I never met the owner but I can tell he is an excellent person. Thank you to all of my uncles friends that cared so much for him & for Hightopps wonderful service and kindness as well. I give this place a 10 out of 10. It reminds me a little like Seacrets in OC. Love the atmosphere and outside is so pretty.“

“Real food the way Baltimoreans like it. Regular white sandwich bread for soft crabs Fried Liver and onions with bacon also. Rare Prime Rib. Just good home cooked food.They miss on a few items but,I've been going for 45 years and it doesn't disappoint. Service is friendly and excellent. Hope it never changes.“

“One of the best pubs I have been to. I was there for a conference with friends and we stopped in. Food was so good I came back to pickup food when I needed a quick meal. I was able to get in and order my food. It was made quickly and well. I had to walk back to my hotel and when I got there it was still hot and fresh. When I return to Baltimore I will return. I have also told friends about eating here.“

“Nice Little Neighborhood Cozy Spot To Get Your Drink On. They Do Not Serve Food On The Regular Except On Taco Tuesdays But Bartenders Are Friendly And The Beer Ice Cold. It's A Little Small Inside So I Suggest You Come Early If You Want A Seat.“

“great place to visit with family“

“This is my second time eating at Howard's the first time was through DoorDash and no complaints at all! They listened to special requests even though DoorDash does not allow that on the app, when I called they were very accommodating and removed items from the burritos. We just got our second order and we picked it up. The food was ready at the exact time they said it would be and just as good as the last time we ordered!!“

“I Recently had a surprise birthday party for my wife this pass saturday 5/13 In the back pavilion area, and would like to thank Tim, Mario. , the bar and kitchen also rest of staff for a excellent job well done, and letting us set up early. The surprise was a success, thank you again.“
