Turn around and head to an auto parts store that is conveniently located next to a brewery. Winter Olympics, Bee Sting Pizza, Hop Love IPA....check, check, check. I would consider this #winning.

The Bee Sting Pizza complete with goat cheese, jalapenos and a hot honey drizzle hit the spot on a rainy Baltimore day.

There are so many beers to choose from and I got the Zadie's Lager on draft (which was a delicious light beer). They have windows into the brewing area which looks super cool, and they brew a lot of the beers on site! I ended up getting a six-pack of Mountain Girl beers to take home. Staff was quick and friendly. It was busy for a Friday night and there were some kids running around and being obnoxious, but other than that we had a great time. This is the perfect spot for an event or meet up with lots of friends. The space is huge!!

i've been here several times and had a good experience during all of them. their take on a mule is…read morereally tasty and well balanced. i'm not much of a beer person, but their draft cider was incredibly dry (to the point it tasted like wine to me). not my cup of tea but could be someone else's. i also got the hummus and veggie wrap and soba noodle salad. the hummus and veggie wrap (not pictured) is pretty good and refreshing. i would say the same for the soba noodle salad. nothing mind blowing but for food at a brewery i'm not mad. their fries are cooked very well (though underseasoned). during the day there are far more kids that hang around, and it gets quite busy at night (especially on weekends). there is a really nice outdoor area to hang out in when the weather is nice. they have some fun activities, including a cute little vending machine with mystery packs in it. overall a fun time!

A whole group of us came on a Saturday at 2PM. For a Saturday in July, it was not busy at all! I…read moreguess the nightlife gets busier. The weather was beautiful. Sunny, breezy. In the barn portion, a real nice breeze kept coming through. I believe there are two bars and one food station. I ended up using only the bar in the barn as it was more convenient. Very quick service. I can't get over how the bar literally MOVES. It gave me a little motion sickness just looking at it. I feel like it's trippy, especially for those who choose to drink. They have a fridge with nonalcoholic drinks. Sprite, coke, Diet Coke, sugar cane orange soda, sugar cane black cherry soda, etc... It was not difficult to find a table at all. There were big round tables that could fit 8-10, long rectangular tables that could fit 8, and smaller tables that fit a couple. You cannot bring outdoor food or drinks! However, we talked to staff and our small cake was okay because it was a sweet. Food was better than I expected. I truly expected mediocre bar food. We ordered online but expected them to text or call when it was ready. We waited for over 30 minutes.. probably because we got caught chatting with family. No call or text. But when we explained the situation, the food was ready and it was HOT! Rayroni pizza 7/10: I wish it were a bit spicier with the hot honey but it was definitely sweet and delicious Cheesesteak egg rolls with chipotle sauce 10/10: If you only buy one thing from this place, let it be this! So crispy and crunchy. Perfect snack !! Pretzel bites with mustard and cheese 8/10: Mustard was meh but maybe that's because I'm not a mustard fan. Cheese didn't taste cheap and had a decent color. Like it wasn't a bright yellow or orange that was suspicious or anything. The pretzel bites themselves weren't too hard or soft. Last but not least, the sugar cane sodas were okay. I feel like they didn't have as much fizziness as your normal sprite or coke. I would absolutely come here again. Good vibes. It didn't leave me feeling hot and sweaty like a club. Coming back with some friends!

Only weird thing about the bar was the bartender seemed kind of annoyed at everyone. We were able to grab a table and chairs outside but this is a good spot to bring chairs and a blanket just in case you can't find seats. There are rules about no outside food, no dogs, and keeping kids close - so it's a good idea to make sure you know all of this before visiting!

It's a vibrant spot with in-house brews, food, vintage arcade games and friendly staff. I can't remember the name of the beer I ordered(I had two). But they were delicious! Obviously fresh and well-crafted. The space is beautiful. There's arcades games, two-levels, an outdoor stage, bar seating, and plenty of seating on both levels. +Customer service was friendly. Shoutout to the beertender that gave us samples and recommendations. He was patient with us! +Parking is plentiful there's a lot about five minutes away and a few spaces right out front. +Prices are average. +Bathrooms are gender neutral. I'll be back to try their food options! I hope you enjoy!

Good crowd, nice atmosphere, and just an all-around good vibe. The inside is really spacious, which I liked, and the bartenders were attentive and made sure we always had a full beer. I had the Bird is the Word, their honey kolsch, and it was excellent. Really smooth, refreshing, and one of those beers I'd definitely order again. If I lived in Baltimore, this would easily be one of my go-to spots. I'm definitely going back next time I'm in town.

Food is also amazing. They run daily specials and we tried the pretzel, burger, and pierogis which were very filling. Staff was very friendly. Ambiance is nice and airy, resembling an old brick warehouse. Plenty of TVs around which made it nice to watch Cubs@Orioles game when we lacked the energy to sit in the heat through the game as planned. They are also one of a few places in Baltimore on InKind.

I had a true 5-star experience at Nepenthe. A few weeks ago,…read moreI visited Nepenthe for a happy hour at work and had the chance to meet Chef Andrew. During our conversation, I mentioned that my wife absolutely loved a specialty burger from his previous restaurant. That restaurant closed several years ago, and the burger isn't on Nepenthe's menu. Without hesitation, Chef Andrew told me that if I gave him some advance notice and brought her in, he would get the ingredients and make it especially for her. So that's exactly what I did for her birthday. When the burger arrived, my wife was genuinely surprised. Chef Andrew even added a candle to the plate to make the occasion extra special. The burger was everything she remembered. She often says she compares every burger she eats to that one, but had resigned herself to the idea that she'd never have it again. Bravo, Chef Andrew. What makes this story even more remarkable is that I had only met him once before. This wasn't something I asked him to do--he was the one who suggested it. That's the kind of hospitality is something I'll never forget. The food at Nepenthe is consistently good, and the atmosphere is fun, lively, and full of energy. It's a great spot for happy hours, trivia nights, and group gatherings. I'll never forget the kindness and hospitality we experienced. This is Baltimore hospitality at its finest.

Nepenthe Brewing is a great place for vegans and non drinkers. Seem weird for a brewing company?…read moreMaybe, but they make it work well and that is why I'm a fan. Nepenthe Brewing has a rotating menu of inspired vegan dishes. This isn't your typical burger and fry brewery. We've visited for date nights, during vegan week, with kids and without. Each time, Nepenthe has not disappointed. Some of the dishes my family and I have enjoyed here are the Killer Tofu (top notch), Crispy Mushroom Banh Mi, Berry Smashed Mocktail, Lemon-Blueberry Cake and, for the kids, the fries with vegan pub dipping sauce. As long as Nepenthe keeps putting forth unique vegan food and mocktails, my family and I will keep it a part of our rotation.

For a lager-focused brewery, they actually had a really impressive variety of beers. My husband and I both went with IPAs, and we were pleasantly surprised by how unique and robust the flavor profiles were. I only wish one of our favorites had been available in cans to take home! There were also two completely different experiences happening while we were there, a craft event meetup and a make-your-own ramen noodle experience. Both sections were packed, but there was still plenty of other seating, so it didn't feel crowded or overwhelming. We also had a great time chatting with the bartender and hearing about the brewery, its opening, and their experiences. That kind of personal interaction really added to the visit. It's a great new local spot for us, or maybe not actually new, just one we somehow completely missed until now! I'm definitely glad we know about it now and will be back.

Visiting some friends who live in Pigtown, they suggested going to Mystique and I'm glad we did…read more The place was pretty packed on Saturday night (they host a lot of various events and this night was speed dating) but we fortunately found a table. While it was a bit noisy, it was an otherwise inviting space. Since it was my first time here, I opted for some flights. Honestly, every beer was solid. I got mostly sours, porters, and stouts and I would get any of them again. I have to be in a very specific mood for an IPA, but the one I got was nicely hopped, but not overly so with a solid piney and grapefruit flavor. They have a respectable selection of food items. It can be a little something to pick at or a proper meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my bratwurst with sauerkraut and would get it again. The mezze platter was okay; I think it could benefit from some veggies instead of (or better, in addition to) the pita chips. I would definitely come back. Recommended!

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.
