Despite the flow of patrons, the staff was responsive and the food came out quickly. We ended up sitting inside by the windows which was completely fine, despite wanting outdoor seating. Plenty of indoor space and great people watching. I don't even want to preface with "for bar food," because this food need not be categorized. The portions were massive, i was able to take 1/2 of my buffalo cauliflower wrap home. As a vegetarian, I felt as though there were plenty of options for me. I also enjoyed a sour. I look forward to coming back here in the future.

Honestly, I should have just kept the issue I experienced to myself due to the response I was…read moregiven. I found a rock in my fry, my tooth is still slightly irritated. I addressed the issue with one of the workers or possible bar back who said that he would send someone out to speak with me. We waited about 15 minutes and no one came. I decided to go in and the general manager Dan came to speak with me. I felt very dismissed, he expressed that the rock probably came from the potato, honestly I was understanding that things like this happen as I also work in service. It was the way he responded to me, as he said "ok and what do you want me to do about it" there was no apologies or I'm sorry this happened. I wasn't asking for him to comp my entire meal, but the least he could have done was apologize and or discount the meal or one beverage. I mainly addressed this issue to make them aware, and I honestly wouldn't have written this review if Dan the general manager was one, polite and two the least bit apologetic. I walked out feeling dismissed and irritated. Better sub your fries for salad unless you would like an unexpected trip to the dentist.

Love the vibes and had we not just stopped in for a quick drink the food options had us scheduling a date night here in the near future. The service was amazing and the drinks were delicious! I got the Blueberry and the Beet which was a fun play on a Moscow mule and my husband got the special which was so good but I can't remember the name. Love this place and will for sure return for dinner.

This bar is SO GOOD. I will be coming back! I checked this place out from the charm city cocktail…read morepassport and so glad I got to try it. My cocktail was so yummy and the smashburger was perfect. Throughout the week they have really good happy hour/weekly specials as well. This is a cozy spot but with some booths and tables and bars and tvs to watch games as well. Our server was very sweet! There's street parking but if you can walk I'd recommend it!

Stumbled across Snake Hill and definitely glad we did! There was plenty of seating at the bar, so…read morewe grabbed a seat and helped immediately by the bartender. There are also some high tops inside and seating outside. I had the Tequila Ronnie which was great-- a little sweet from the ginger beer but overall a great cocktail. My friend had the Negroni which I think is premade (we saw it being poured from the tap). Either way, he said it was good! We didn't get any food this time, but definitely will try something to eat next time!

The…read morevibes are COOL - this is a great spot to dish out over gossip and have some yummy food and drinks on a Tuesday night! This can also be a nice spot for an edgy date night. The bartenders and staff are friendly and welcoming. The service was smooth. I got the vegan pho hot dog, I LOVE the creative approach! The fried green beans *chef kiss* As a big fan of mac and cheese, I was not the biggest fan of this mac and cheese. I wonder if the Asiago cheese (?) was quite strong, overpowering in flavor, I would recommend a lot of old bay if you order it, or if you like a basier mac and cheese then you will be a fan! Nonetheless, I really like this pub, definitely adding it to my list of cool places I'd show to friends who are coming to Baltimore. I look forward to coming back again and trying other vegan hot dogs on the menu.

Came here relatively late for dinner (after 9:30p) on a Saturday. The service was nice - bartender…read moreand server were very pleasant. I ordered the Jerk Half Chicken (8/10) and two cocktails: The Blue Lagoon (8/10) and the Fire Island (9/10). The jerk chicken did not taste at all like traditional jerk chicken. BUT it was well seasoned and well prepared (thoroughly cooked). I loved the saffron rice and beans. The entire meal was very flavorful. My only complaint is that the breast part of the chicken was a little dry. I think it's because it's the end of the day and I'm sure they're not making the chicken to order. The Fire Island cocktail is pretty spicy, so be prepared. I found the restaurant to be clean and comfortable. Very nice vibe inside. I'll definitely be back.

When we have guests, Pink Flamingo is almost always the move and consistently gets high praise. The menu can be pricey, so it isn't in our weekly rotation, rather a special splurge spot. Here are things I like (in no order): Drinks - The HH daiquiri - Fire Island cocktail - it packs some HEAT and is truly one of my favorite cocktails - Dizzy Flamingo - Flamingo Cup (a great gin drink) - great local beer offerings Eats -Oxtail Dumplings - Big Kahuna Burger (a freaking MUST) the fries are elite also - Fried half chicken (carrots and biscuit are great that come with) - I haven't tried the wings but my neighbor gets the dry rub ones weekly and she has good taste, so ima throw that out there Go visit them, vibes are immaculate as well!

But she wasn't wrong, the overall taste was great! The meat had a little seasoning which I appreciated bc that made the sub just a little better than most of the rest of the purveyors. The sub cane out fast and hot and delicious! I'm calling it the best cheesesteak sub in South Baltimore !

I just moved close to here, so I was excited to potentially find a new go-to spot. The…read moreserver/bartender was very kind and attentive, so I'd go back only for drinks. The food was not good. 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.

Tucked away on a quiet street in Hampden sits Hampden Yards Beer Garden. Bringing all the patio vibes to this little community. If it wasn't for the sounds of the patrons chatting away, you might actually miss Hampden Yards. Which is nice because it's off the beaten path from all the goings on happening on the main street. I loved the kind of garden look they have, and it was great that Hampden Yards has some areas that are covered to keep you out of the sun if you so choose. The drink options were nice, with various beers and some crafted cocktails. Offering a little something for everyone. Hampden Yards sells a few snacks but the Glizzy hot dog stand sits at the opening, providing everyone with a taste of summer in the form of a grilled hot dog. This was my first visit to Hampden Yards Beer Garden and it definitely won't be my last during the summer.

It is a purely outdoor experience, with picnic tables on astroturf where you order drinks from your phone with a QR code. The drinks are a little pricey and the service tends to be slow, but you deal with that for the atmosphere. Like, I ordered a crush 10 minutes ago and am sitting right at the bar, but I'm still waiting. ‍ The downside this season is that they got rid of the lawn games - there used to be foosball and giant connect 4. That is gone, so now it's just a place to chat and drink. However- on the upside Glizzy is now the house food truck/stand. If you've never experienced a Glizzy hotdog (or sliders), run there right now and get some. They are a delight and the Glizzy King himself gives not just dinner, busy also a show. Oh - and they are dog friendly.

It is a…read morewell renovated bar/restaurant in my neighborhood and I've quite enjoyed walking there recently. Initially, I was a big wine drinker and found this place had a great selection of reds, whites, and pinks. The past few years however, I've been super into craft beer and was pleasantly surprised by the offerings on tap AND some really good stuff housed in those little under bar fridges! My last 2 visits I ordered food, the spicy baingan which is ABSOLUTELY delicious! I looked up the recipe online and it seems like a lot of work so Old Major has a customer for life just for that dish, lol! Otherwise, I'm really a fan of the bar owner, Candice. Just about every time I've visited, she's there and not only provides excellent customer service, but is a very cool chick and I like talking to her about...well, everything! Old Major ticks all my boxes for convenience, quality, and customer service. Of course I'll visit again!
