The eclectic menu contains both South American and Bavarian-styled appetizers, sandwiches, salads and flatbreads. It's a great place to relax in the afternoon and evenings; the servers and bartenders are helpful and very friendly. Special events occur on certain nights. The trivia challenge is an especially fun way to spend a Thursday evening. Its location is a bit out of the way ( in the back area of the Princess Shopping Center) but give it a try; it's worth it!

Such a cool hidden gem! Got a beer spa reservation for my husband's bday. He loved it and thought…read moreit was really cool! He felt it was clean and relaxing, he did say the water in the tub was too hot so it was hard to eat or drink. They offer packages that includes "all you can drink" during the hour long spa, but based on my husband's experience, it's better to drink the beers before or after. I waited with the rest of the family by the brewery and was surprised at how empty it was on a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps not many people know about this place? The ambiance was cool, they have lots of board games for kids and adults and a nice selection of drinks. Staff was friendly!

Great pressed Cuban sandwich, best grouper sandwich, good food…read more We were out on Liberty road, near Oscar's Alehouse in Eldersburg MD, and we remembered the excellent grouper sandwiches we've had here. They were good as the ones we got fresh in Florida. We wanted takeout this time, and decided on their $16 Cuban pressed sandwich. It's layers of tender thin-sliced slow-roasted pork, ham, and Swiss cheese. The bread is like a french baguette, pressed and crispy-toasted, spread with yellow mustard and tangy dill-pickle chips. It's a rich handful of a sandwich. It came with generous hot soft boardwalk-style fries. Oscar's was quick and friendly. The sandwich was excellent!

Parking lot was packed on the Thursday I went. Inside it was pretty busy as well. Lots of large groups in the dining area. The hostess was friendly and there was just a few minutes wait for a table to be cleaned for us. After being seated a friendly waiter took our drink orders. I decided to try their house beer, Oscar's Lucky 12 to start. Drinks came out very quickly. By the time he was back with them we decided on what we wanted to eat. The menu is American Pub Fare. I had the Turkey Avocado Club that came with a side of fries. The sandwich was delicious and pilled high with freshly sliced turkey. Fries were crispy and delicious as well. Definitely a 5 for the food. I ordered their seasonal Brown Sugar Whiskey Sour. Man it was heavy on the sour. Not something I would get against The service was a definite 5 as well. Everyone there was nice and welcoming. I want to go back soon on a Wednesday night to see how good the wings are for the special that day.

Looks like there was someone celebrating their birthday with a large group. No tables were available but there was a little space at the bar. I started off with a IPA. I was a little hungry so ordered some duck fat fries and the pork street tacos. The menu consists of a lot of typical bar bites. They also have a full bar with any type of cocktails you can think of. I had a smoked old fashioned. After smoking it they bring it out with a cover on it so it really holds in the smoke for optimal flavor. I was still a little hungry so I had the condors bacon as well. Took a while for it to come out. It was crispy and sweet. It came with a side of maple syrup to dip it in but I didn't really need it. Was a little loud in there with all the people. They had the UFC fight on the TVs at the bar. The bar tender was friendly and provided great service.

I had gone there many years ago and had many of the same complaints however about a year ago I retried and was pleasantly surprised by changes that were made. I now go every few weeks for different craft beers and other "necessities" and always find it to be very well stocked, clean, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The best part about Total Discount - they let you do mix-six packs! From what I have found, they are one of the remaining stores in the area that allow this. I highly recommend them for anything you may need liquor wise and if you are into different craft beers, this is hands down the only place to go in Carroll County. Side note - no one has ever asked or tried to make a copy of my license there. My feeling of this story is that the cashier probably wanted to SCAN the barcode on the back of the ID. That's not for creating a database as the store is strictly prohibited from doing that by law unless the customer gives consent. Maryland DOES HIGHLY RECOMMEND that each store scan all IDs with liquor sales to ensure the ID isn't fake. Many stores have a policy to do this, due to State and Local pressure. Certainly you can't hold the store accountable for this.

We had plans on having outdoor lunch at Noras...this was before it snowed....so we wrote down the list of ingredients and planned on stopping at this liquor store for the first time to buy them. But I'm an old fart and I left the list at home. All we could remember was that the drink contained rum, and that the video had two funny guys behind a bar. I still had fun looking at the store's great selection, but we left defeated after not being able to remember the ingredients. Well: while we were eating, the store employee popped his head out and recommended that we stop in again after finishing our meal. When we did, he pulled up a video on his phone and asked us if it was the one we had scene: it was! AND He had already pulled all of the ingredients for us! This is exactly why I love cozy, community based businesses: you're not just another mindless customer. This is our new liquor store. It's not a huge store, but their selection is incredible. Lots of interesting things I've never even seen before. I highly recommend this place (as well as the food nextdoor!) Bravo

I was living in Wheaton and not much was going on that summer because of Covid. I had cabin fever, decided to take a drive up to the Covid version of the Howard County Fair; they were doing a drive thru only version where you could enjoy the various fair foods. I ate badly that day! I had a donut burger; two donuts with burger in between. I found a quiet place outside to eat on the fairgrounds. Then, I kept driving further up north for my free dessert coupon I had at Glory Days, which probably was expiring at the end of the month. I had an apple pie a la mode with whipped cream. It was delicious. Server was nice and efficient. In spite of eating terribly health-wise that day, I did go on a long hike nearby Liberty Reservoir.
