Cozy neighborhood dive bar…read more My brother frequents Brannan so we went to check it out while I was visiting the area recently. My brother said he likes it because it's unpretentious and the regulars who frequent the bar are usually locals. He said it's always a good time as the people are cool and the drinks are fantastic. We actually stopped in for a midday cocktail on a Sunday afternoon. There were a few people there but not too many due to the time of day. We sat at the bar and an older gentleman took our order. My brother knew him so they chit chatted for awhile about the comings and goings of other locals. The bar is no frills for sure but I still found it warm and inviting. It had a certain charm to it that I can't really put my finger on. There are pool tables in the rear the bar and an electronic juke box. We played a couple rounds of pool while jamming to some tunes which was a lot of fun. I can't recall the name of the drinks I ordered but they were really good. They were fruity cocktails that the older gentleman mixed. He didn't skip on the alcohol either. We ordered 5 drinks total and the bill was just under $30. My brother told me that some people in the neighborhood look down on Brannan's because it's a dive bar but I had a great time. I didn't find anything wrong with it whatsoever. All the other patrons were really nice as was the bartender. The atmosphere was cozy and chill. I'd definitely visit again during a future trip.

I agree with Will. Great dive bar with the nicest of people sincerely. A microcosm of the…read morecity!!!!! Seriously diverse crowd and all cool to the bartenders!!!! I had a quick welcome from several people and could have stayed all night talking. Has pool tables, juke box, and regular American drafts. No craft beer here :( but that makes it a dive and not a hipster bar. Great job Brannans!

The drinks were strong and the service was good, especially considering how busy it was. I got a buffalo chicken wrap and my date got a cheesesteak. The fries were sooooo good. Like boardwalk fries. The cheesesteak was great too, I had a few bites of it. The buffalo chicken wrap was pretty good. I think it needed more ranch but otherwise it was alright. And the prices are super reasonable. Overall a nice time and I'd definitely go back.

In our continuing adventure to visit all the dive bars on Harford Road, we visited Freddie's Sports…read moreBar and Grill last Friday. We sat at the end of the bar and had to wait a few minutes to order. They don't have a beer menu, so you will have to eyeball the drafts as you come into the bar. The music was loud old-skool hip hop, which I love. There was also some great R&B. They have two pool tables constantly occupied by players who had brought their own queues. It was fun to watch. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, the husband ordered wings and french fries. The chicken quesadilla was delicious, served with salsa and sour cream. The wings were a little dry but the fries were great. I was going to give Freddie's 4 stars until I woke up the next morning and saw the 18% gratuity charged to my bill. I had not seen it and had tipped 20% so my server got a large unintended tip. I will not be coming back to Freddie's but at least now I know how they roll.

This is my neighborhood bar. I love this place!!!! Certain bartenders and the customers!!! Me and…read moremy husband tip well but it seems that whenever we come in during the weekdays before 5p automatic gratuity gets added to our check. Let's have a real conversation (Carlos King- if you know, you know) I understand there is a stigma about black people and how they tip. But in this case you should learn your regulars and understand that we tip more than that little 20% you add to our check. Stop JUDGING YOUR PATRONS!!! We are NOT all the same. It's offensive. We don't want to have to find somewhere else to patron bc you refuse to see beyond the color of our skin. Sincerely, The friendly black couple

Two of us stopped in here last night in our quest to visit all of the dive bars in Parkville on…read moreHarford Road. There is very little parking behind Emerald Tavern. We ended up parking in the neighborhood across the street. There is a busy Happy Hour going on around 5:30 which is great. The Emerald Tavern has a bit of Irish-ness about it with a few Brit food options on the menu like fish and chips and shepherd's pie. We sat at the bar and were pleased to find a beer menu! The beer selection was varied and included some local options. They also have a wide selection of beer on tap and in bottles and cans. I was not expecting that. The food menu was also much larger than I would have expected. They have just about everything here. I had the chicken quesadilla (it came with salsa and sour cream) and my husband had the cheesesteak special which was only $6! All of the prices on the menu were very reasonable. We also had the pretzel bite which were good if not a little greasy. The quesadilla and cheesesteak were really good! Service at the bar was fast and friendly. They have live music here on the weekends but we left long before the band started setting up because we are old.

We arrived when they where changing shifts. The place was pretty empty. We were able to order a…read moredrink but was told we would have to wait to order our food with the next bartender who arrived late. When they arrived we continued to wait patiently for someone to take our order. About 20 minutes went by and no one had still come to take our order so we left. I will make an attempt to try to food at later date to update my review.

The burger buns were dry and cheap, and the patty was extremely bland. It probably was the worst burger I have ever had. The kitchen forgot to send my burger out with the onion ring that comes on it, so I had to wait to assemble it. There was barely any bacon on it. Fries were bland. The only redeemable thing was the cajun shrimp appetizer, which was actually quite delicious.

Good food, friendly ambiance and prompt service make this German fare a winner…read more We went here for a late lunch early dinner on a Thursday. The hostess was friendly, bubbly and helpful with our menu choices. We started with the Pretzel bites with a cheese sauce and a mustard sauce for dipping. Little pillows with plenty of salt, a winner. No entree, we shared Onion Rings, Boneless chicken wings (Bbq sauce and garlic Parmesan sauce) and two sausages, bratwurst and knockwurst. Along with my wife ordering Kolsch on tap, we were in heaven. It brought us back to a trip we took to Germany. All delicious. I'm grateful that they put the sauerkraut on the side, it would make me sick. There are a lot of beers and ales on tap and many are authentic from Germany. I had ginger ale, shame on me. We'll be back for their weekend brunch! Recommended!

No decent craft beer to be had here, but I did enjoy some decent schnitzel…read more A friend suggested we grab a bite here and told me the food and ambiance was good despite the place being a dive and he was right. A cursory glance at the menu informed me that I could order schnitzel but there was no beer I found desirable. Luckily the bartender scrounged up a High Noon for me. The food, when it arrived was really good and I ate all of it. The bartended was friendly and attentive, so I had a pretty enjoyable experience overall.
