    Spicy margarita
    Hannah B.

    Wandered in after a day of moving and unpacking. I ordered a spicy margarita and the salmon BLT. Both great. The spicy margarita is truly spicy, the way it should be, will give you fiery poops the next day, burn your bootyhole. Tim our server was great, we sat outside, service was fast, atmosphere perfect for a chatty sunset dinner. Will return again.

    Trying out another neighborhood spot we walk past with our dog. It's a cute spot with lots of dog paintings and good background music and easy to have conversations. We ordered 3 different dishes to share and only one was good which was the crab cake. Not a very big crab cake but had chunks of crab and good flavor. The gumbo tasted like gravy with a few pieces of sausage and other stuff. The cream of crab soup was all cream and no crab and no flavor. Service was great as well as drinks but was really hoping for a better meal though especially for the price point.

    This place needs more love! Some of the best service ever -- Michelle was awesome and gave great recommendations, like getting the half-half Maryland Crab Soup/Cream of Crab Soup combo and a lemon aioli sauce for our fries. We also loved the ahi tuna appetizer, truffle fries, and Ronan burger. Indoor and outdoor seating available, many with a water view. Lots of bar seating downstairs and upstairs as well.

    Good prices, good beer, good food and great vibes. No idea why someone would not love this place. We came in from a 94 degree day, place was pretty crowded, but we got a table immediately. Service was good, food was quick and reasonably priced, drinks were cold and delicious. I'd love to be a regular at a place like this. Again, great vibes!

    We were staying in Baltimore for the weekend and decided to come over to Fell's Point for a few hours on Sunday. This place looked appealing for lunch so we decided to give it a try for lunch around 11:30. At that time they had both the brunch and lunch menus available. The lunch menu had plenty of appetizers, soups, salads, burgers and other sandwiches and entrees. I decided to go with the Cobb salad. It looked and tasted great. It had blackened shrimp, crab, eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce with an old bay dressing. My husband had the Philly cheesesteak with chips. It was a nice size sandwich and tasted good. Service was fairly quick.

    A nice spot right in the heart of Fells Point. Great vibes, plenty of tv's to watch games and the service was pretty quick and attentive. I had a burger with lettuce, onion and bacon and a side of fries. My friend had a crab cake sandwich and chips and said it was cooked to perfection.

    $5 marg Mondays with choice of salt or tajin on the rim. Pretty outdoor area looking over the water. I got the Maryland crab soup which is a tomato soup base. It tastes good but I wish I got the cream of crab soup instead. We also got tacos to share for our table of 3.

    'Twas visiting my old coworker upon his move to downtown Balto, and he said we shall meet on the waterfront and find a place for dinner. We met right in front of a nice sunset view and a patio belonging to one Kooper's Tavern. I offer the following in favor of Kooper's: A very strong on-tap beer selection, backed up by bottles if you really need - but you don't. Small but varied food menu. Crab soup was packed with crab meat from top to bottom. Outdoor seating if you want, a nice dark interior with televisions to set the mood of an upscale bar inside more reminiscent of overseas. Friendly chatting with the bartender for a good portion of the evening. Just a couple of downsides here. The crab soup was a bit saltier than I'd like, although that may be the way people like it. The crabcake was far from the meatiest I've had, though at least not the breadiest. Somewhere in the middle, and a little small for the price point I felt. Verdict: Not perfect, but when you're in Fells Point, do you really expect more than you'll get here? I wouldn't, and I'm glad I Kooped.

    My friend and I stopped in one weekend afternoon to partake a couple of margaritas for early happy hour. Good prices, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The Ritas were good, so we could possibly hop in another time for grub.

    Ronan Burger

    Kooper's Tavern definitely brings the vibes--warm, lively, and exactly what you expect from a Fells Point staple. The service was solid, and we kicked things off with a couple of extra dirty martinis and a glass of wine. All the drinks were excellent (the martinis especially hit the spot). For a starter, we tried the crab dip. It had good flavor but was just okay overall--mostly because it was surprisingly light on actual crab. Same story with the Maryland crab soup and cream of crab soup "half & half" that the bartender recommended. Fun idea, decent flavor, but again... where's the crab? The star of the night was the Ronan burger. Cooked medium rare exactly as ordered, and honestly one of the better burgers we've had in a while--juicy, flavorful, and done perfectly. Overall, Kooper's has a great atmosphere and strong drinks, but the crab dishes were a letdown, especially in a city known for doing crab right. Not sure if we'll be back, since there are plenty of spots in Baltimore where the crab dishes actually deliver the crab meat you expect.

    We stopped in for a drink and a bite to eat. Service was great; our server was friendly and attentive. I loved the dog themed decor! Very cute. We chose to share a bowl of chili which came with tortilla chips. The chili was unique in that it had a bit of a sweet flavor. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but after a couple of bites I decided I liked it and it worked well with the kick of spice. My bf loved it. It hit the spot on a chilly night. Overall, this is a fun spot to check out and I'll return for sure.

    When the sun is shining and it's warm outside nothing hits better than enjoying an orange crush and a crab cake in Baltimore. I promise you! I used to frequent Kooper's Tavern a lot when I used to live in Baltimore and I'm glad to report that nothing has changed. Their crab cakes and crab cake sandwiches still hit (not the best in the city but good) and the orange crushes are delicious. Everything is priced well in my opinion and I love that they have outside seating options. Staff was fine, we did feel forgotten about a couple of times but I can imagine that's because of the back and forth that the server has to do as well as they may have been a little short staffed on this day that we came. All in all, highly recommend checking out Kooper's Tavern in Fells point on the next nice day. It's right by the water.

The vibes are homey, almost feels like a library but not quite, very cozy very comfy. Food: Tomato Mozarella, this was my two fav things in one. Tomato and burrata/mozarella, and prosciutto and melon. Delicious. 10/10. Prawns: so good, so flavorful, and I typically am not a shrimp/prawn girl. Skirt Steak: this was such a juicy and moist (sorry) steak. I don't like chimmichurri (cannot spell that omg) but it was good! The fries were also a winner. Moroccan Hen: this felt like a cookout bbq to be honest but in the best way. It's super flavorful, very smoky, and SO juicy. Drinks: watermelon marg, orange espresso cocktail, and I cannot remember the blue drinks name but all delicious. I fear this is my fav espresso martini to date.

The drink menu did not tickle my fancy so I ended up just having water. The restaurant week menu was a good selection of their regular menu items so it was an opportunity to try something that I could get again. I opted for the tuna as an appetizer, the whole branzino as my entree, and the zalabia for dessert. Everything was delicious! I would have liked the tuna to be more chilled; it came out closer to room temp. I have no notes for the bronzino. It was perfectly cooked, I really love the time and orange, the olive tapenade was the right amount of salty and briny, and the accompanying roasted harissa potatoes were fantastic. I guess if I had any critique it would be of the too skinny and woody asparagus. The dessert was something I'd never heard of, something like Mediterranean donuts. I really love the pistachios and the I think pomegranate sauce (it wasn't described on the menu so Im guessing), but the addition of chocolate was completely unnecessary and I'm not just saying that because I don't like chocolate lol. After dinner me and my dining companion went upstairs to the speakeasy for a cocktail. I was hoping they had a different drink menu and they did! This menu was much more interesting to me and I ended up getting a a well-balanced gin cocktail. I just read that they are closing to relocate so I'm hoping that I'll be able to go again soon.

My friend said I had to come here. We did. As soon as we stepped out of the Uber the adventure began. The building is so out dated but the entrance door held its charm. Neon lit Edgar portrait reading from a book his Annabel Lee. Complete with a bouquet of flowers. To the right more words of the writer surrounded with a few tables and chairs for those willing to chill in the cold. Inside was no different. Several crows, skulls everything you'd expect. And a well stocked bar. Many writings on the wall, articles, awards, etc all added to the vibe and theme. And of course dimly lit but you could still read the menu. We were guided to the back for our party of 5, in a corner away from everyone else. That made it easy for us to converse as we perused the menu exclaiming this and that of the dreadful names used and deathly ingredients mixed in. It definitely made it more appetizing. After working all day I was ready for a drink and settled on the To Isadore; gin, lavender syrup, lemon squeeze topped with segura cava. That hit the spot. Unfortunately, I had eaten quite a bit on this trip and forced myself to order the Chef Salad. Nothing more to say there. My wife, though, ordered the seafood lasagna. Never had that and it didn't sound like something I could get into. I was wrong. This is Baltimore. The seafood here is astounding. It was delicious and had to take a couple spoon fulls. My friend ordered the double beef patty burger. I was jealous until he offered me a bite. That was really good too, and juicy.
