Came here on a Saturday evening for some food and drinks. The parking lot is weird and should maybe…read morehave signs pointing to the dip next to the fence. But anyways, when I walked in I could tell there was a holiday party going on. There was still a little too room at the bar. The place is pretty small. It seemed like the kind of place where they had regulars. I love that they have specials and holiday themed drinks. I got a sugar cookie martini and it was strong and delicious! Also got some pierogis cause they are one of my favorite things ever and they did not disappoint. Service was ok, they were really busy so they did their best. Overall it was a good time and I'd give this place another try.

The inside is much nicer looking than the outside, but they have an extremely limited food menu (tacos, crab cake, pizza, or quesadilla). As far as drinks, they were out of a lot of things. No coconut rum, I took the last white claw, etc. The bartender was very nice but a tad too chatty for my liking. They do have a beer pong table, claw machine, and jukebox. Overall it's very underwhelming.

I had a hard time with the menu, prices were pretty high, this cost $18 (with the $2 fry upgrade) which seems high. The sandwich was packed with shrimp and everything tasted great! They have a ton of TVs so was great to watch some soccer. The bar area was pretty large so I didn't have a trouble finding a spot.

Had such a nice time at Red Brick Station in White Marsh! The weather was perfect so we sat outside…read moreon their patio which overlooked the communal lawn. Such a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere! The salmon dish was amazing! I got the sauce on the side and ended up not eating it. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The rice was flavorful and the broccoli was steamed perfectly too. My child got the chicken tenders and fries. Was really happy about the pricing on the kids menu. We've been to restaurants lately where the prices are crazy overpriced for a child. I learned from our server that kids eat free on Saturday with an adult entree. Will definitely be back with the whole family for that perk! If you're not interested in sitting outside, the indoor dining room was really open and nice. The bar seemed to be a very popular section to sit! If I had to find some a needs improvement would be the cleanliness of the restrooms. Definitely could use a deep clean. Overall, really great place to gather with friends, family or even a date night!

This is one of my favorite pubs to visit…read more The food is incredible. From your pub classics, to creative specials, there is something for everyone. They offer a great deal of beers, and seasonal special cocktails

To begin - I ordered everything for Take Away My first order…read morewas the Gouda Soup and Fish n'chips. The soup was my favorite with a roasted red pepper base, like a bisque. The lump crab meat was quite substantial and equally sweet. Lovely! The fish n chips were good, probably better at the bar top as they were side in my take away container. Either way, no complaints! My second order was the Seafood Chowder, Irish rolls, and Paddy Melt. I'm a sucker for a Patty Melt and excited about the Irish Cheddar, but it was minimal, almost overlooked. A larger melt would have tasted heavenly. I added lettuce and tomato to my sandwich, but my container only had one slice for my two halves and it was the end piece of the tomato (intact). It was quite large, but again, in a container, very soft by the time I ate it. The seafood chowder was good, one of the better chowders I have eaten in MD. The Irish rolls were quite filling and I had to save 2 of the 4 for later. One of these days I'll sit at the bar top with a Guinness for the full experience.

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!

Got delievery from Mick O'Shea's for dinner recently when my husband really wanted fish and chips…read more I also got the bangers & mash and crawfish etouffee. The food came very well packaged. We loved every single thing. The bangers and mash might have been our favorite, it was super flavorful, and they even included some mustard to go along with it. My husband ate most of it. We were impressed with the portion sizes as well. The fish and chips were delicious. The fish was super flakey and not dry. Even the crawfish etouffee was super tasty. Were already talking about getting over there to eat in person. This will definitely be our go to Irish pub.

Wow we really liked this place! A perfectly poured Guinness to start and a very good baked crab dip…read morefollowed by some of the best fish & chips we have had for a long time. Very flaky lightly batter fish with real hand cut chips and decent tartar sauce. Service was friendly and very efficient. Bottom line is this is a 100% legit Irish pub and we will be back next time we are in town!

Let's dive right in -- this trip was all about the crab cakes…read more I consider myself a connoisseur of delicious crab cakes. I've had them everywhere there is to have them, and somehow I'm just now discovering Koco's. Well, let me tell you -- this is the winning spot. There are a lot of good, even great, crab cakes around town, but Koco's is 100% in a league of its own. I usually enjoy my crab cake with crackers, maybe a little bread on the side. Not here. Skip the bread. Skip the filler. This crab cake stands all by itself. Outrageously delicious. Off the scale. The kind of crab cake that makes you stop talking for a minute because you're too busy appreciating what just happened. And it's not just the food. From the second you walk in, you're treated kindly -- not only by the staff, but even by the folks sitting down enjoying their meals. The whole place just has that great local, welcoming feel. I also can't leave out the French fries. They are off the charts too. A true 3/8 straight-cut fry -- not those crispy coated carnival/stadium fries that seem to be taking over everywhere these days. Real fries. Done right. There is no better crab cake to be had. If you're going to go big, go hungry. You will leave HAPPY!!!!!!!

On the hunt to try some of Baltimore's best crab cakes, I'm late to the party for Kocos. However,…read morebetter late than never. Given Koco's crab cake platter during their dinner service will set you back about $50, I've been hesitant to spend that amount of money for just one 8oz. crab cake. So I decided to give them a try during their lunch hours where you can get a 6oz. crab cake platter for about $30. I ordered in advance and popped into the brightly colored, tropical themed restaurant which was bustling on a Friday afternoon. My pickup was quick and the service was nice. I of course had to sneak a few fries while on my ride home, and they were perfectly crisp and well seasoned. Once I made it home I dived into the beautifully broiled crab cake and I immediately understood why Koco's is know as one of best crab cakes in the area. Full of lump crab meat, seasoned to perfection, and not wet in the center. All things I consider in a good crab cake. Now that I've had a taste of Koco's I'll definitely be saving a few coins to splurge a little for a crab cake.

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.

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.
