Mount Washington Tavern is tucked in an adorable set of streets in Mount Washington and the interior totally matches the vibe! Very well laid out and decorated, while definitely busy there is plenty of space to spread out upstairs and downstairs. Our server Jaylin was very attentive even when there was a large party in the same room and things were clearly hectic. We definitely appreciated the service even more seeing how busy of a night it was! The crab dip was a crowd pleaser at the table and my pasta was also delicious and filling. read more

Mount Washington Tavern advertises as a special on Thursdays from 4:00pm to 6:00 pm Complimentary Oysters! At the bars only with a purchase of a food or drink item. There is no mention of a limit to 3 oysters per order, but as you are waited on by the server that is what he states. So, which is it?? The Bloody Mary is not as good as it used to be before the fire. Visited on 3.26.2026 read more

Welp, this attractive establishment is one that we've frequented for many years. Very easy to locate, plenty of inexpensive metered street parking, nice neighborhood. Upon entry, we were greeted by a very nice young lady who sat us at a high top table as requested w my reservation. Shortly after, we were greeted by Shannon who was amazing from start to finish. We ordered the following. Charm City Punch - Very great! Soo smooth and tasty. Hot Toddy - Perfectly concocted!! Had the kick I needed!! Ms. Pickle's Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Whew, so tender and plentiful. Chicken Chesapeake - Perfection on a plate. Hubby and I will continue to visit this business. So far we've been for brunch and dinner. We're going to start attending their theme nights!! Monday is Burgar night !! read more

HORRIBLE- I came back to Mt. Washington Tavern to give this place another chance after already having a bad first experience, and somehow it was even worse this time. My girlfriend and I sat for over 15 minutes without even being given a menu while multiple tables around us were greeted and served. It became very obvious we were being ignored. The energy toward us felt cold, dismissive, and disrespectful the entire time. When I asked the host for the manager, she actually told me he "was not a good one," which was honestly shocking to hear from staff. At that point I asked who the owner was because it was clear nobody cared to resolve the situation. No customer should feel unwelcome the way we did. We left frustrated, uncomfortable, and disappointed. I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. read more

Came back for brunch and I'm so glad we did. Everything was delicious. We sat in the sky bar again. It was a beautiful day and weather for it. They had the Sunday football games on with $5 crushes! I ordered the Monte Cristo Waffle Sandwich. It was so tasty. I loved the berry compote that came with it. The Chesapeake omelet that my mom ordered was amazing. I can't remember our servers name but he was friendly and had great energy. read more

Mt. Washington Tavern has been a local favorite and staple in Baltimore since 1979, I'm so glad I finally got to check it out. I sat on the Skybar, which is a covered deck on the second level and enjoyed the breeze. I had amazing service from Jamar! He was insightful, helpful and checked on me frequently through dinner. It's lots of seating available on both first and second floor, even a room for events! The Chesapeake Rockfish is Parm-crusted and topped with jumbo lump crab, lemon beurre blanc sauce and is def a must try! I also really enjoyed the Tavern Wings and the Delmonico steak (though not cooked to my exact temp preference) it was still very tasty with their housemade steak sauce. For cocktails the Strawberry Rose Spritz was very light and refreshing, def recommend it. read more

A staple for the community. Great bar, fine restaurant and more. Happy Hour is 4-6 and one special a day. Wednesday is prime rib which is excellent. Fries are thin and perfectly golden. Nachos are huge(half order is plenty and on the happy hour menu) and come with a side of goopy cheese. I wasn't happy with the nachos. Drinks are either weak or strong. Not consistent. On the light rail. Nice walking path by the Jones Falls in front. read more

I'm so glad I didn't let the reviews steer me away from this place. I stopped by with a few friends on a Friday evening- we hoped to catch the oyster happy hour but were a few minutes too late. We ordered oysters, thai chili wings, crab dip and a Caesar salad. We also ordered the special lemon drop and a dirty martini. The food was delicious and oysters were huge. The restaurant is a nice size and we were seated immediately. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, I'm shocked the rating is so bad and hopefully more people will visit and post about their positive experiences. read more

This place is fantastic! Character, charm, clean...old school vibe, newer feel. The building has at least three original walls...which gives it such a warm, cozy feel. Hostess was lovely. Waitress was great! I had the tuna poke bowl with cauliflower rice! So damn good! The menu is huge, lots of choices! Can't wait to go back! Such great people!! read more

What an incredible night! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted at the door.... This started off a wonderful dining experience. Ace was just that! As a server she must be the Mount Washington Tavern's ace in the hole! She was absolutely incredible! So pleasant, from the time she greeted our table and got our drink order, until we finished desert! Ace was engaging, funny, and genuinely nice. She absolutely made our night!! As a server she was attentive and efficient, while not seeming rushed. She took the time to have meaningful conversations with us, and gave us some good travel advice to boot! Not much older than our daughters, I think there was a relatable nature to most of the conversations, but we can honestly say it is rare to find a server that is able to make those connections. We absolutely will be back, and will always request Ace! read more

Food isn't bad but a bit overpriced cause it is just basic somewhat more than just pub food. Specials are always good. I come here cause it is close to home. Usually get a beer (cocktails are very expensive and not amazing) and an app. Apps are always good and worth the price and beer is about average cost. read more

We stopped here for a drink on the way to a concert. Such a cute place so close to Pimlico. The menu looks fantastic. We will definitely be back to enjoy the outside seating and try some things. read more

I've been to Mt. Washington Tavern a couple of times, most recently last week for a group dinner. The tavern is nice - cozy, comfortable, casual - and the service is very good. They have a broad variety of drinks (beer, wine, cocktails). I enjoyed their house dirty martini when I was there last week and found it to be a very good version. I think their food is just so-so. We shared several apps: Nachos Grande, Truffle Fries, Bavarian Pretzel Board, and chicken skewers. Definitely standard pub fare. The nachos were disappointment - lots of chips, not much in the way of toppings! Felt very dry and bland. It needed a lot more on it to make it work. It's not a bad place for a casual, pub-traditional meal, but I haven't really enjoyed their food on the occasions I've had it. It's in such a great spot, so I'm sure I'll be back - probably for drinks and a burger! read more

Atmosphere was great. The food was good. Outside of them being busy and it became hard to catch Kathy service was good. We actually stopped to catch happy hour before heading to the Os game. The menu stated the appetizers were mini appetizer but it was big portions. The drinks were really good. They have an upstairs and downstairs. They also do private events, which a wedding event was going on so the were busy. read more

had an amazing experience at Mt. Washington Tavern on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025. I stopped in specifically for their Wednesday special, but they had just run out. A little disappointing at first, so I switched gears and ordered the Tavern Wings and a salad. Both were fresh, flavorful, and honestly as good as wings and salad can get. But what truly won me over was the service. The manager came over personally to apologize for the special being sold out and surprised our table with a half slab of ribs and sides to share. Completely unexpected and incredibly thoughtful. The ribs were tender, delicious, and the gesture alone took the night from "good" to "outstanding." That kind of customer care is rare. Mt. Washington Tavern has definitely earned a loyal customer -- I'll be back again and again. Highly recommended! read more

Great food, great beer selection... great atmosphere, service, ambience. If i lived here I'd be in here every day. read more

I hadn't been to MWT in years, but when I found myself hungry after a party that was lacking in snacks, I ended up there. It was late on a Monday night, but the bar was open, so I hopped right up and homed in on some Monday night football. I ordered the chicken quesadillas which were just okay. The chicken tasted reheated, but the tortilla was nice and crunchy. Next, I tried the chicken nachos, which looked like a huge portion, but was deceiving because they come on top of a bottom plate and are surrounding two sauce bowls in the center. They were much better than the quesadillas, so I was content with that. Had a nice chat with the bartender, a very friendly guy who gave me some history of the place. Not sure I'll make a trip down to MWT anytime soon, but next time I'm in the area I might stop in for something other than the mediocre bar food. read more

Food: Meh. Service: What service? We were a party of two in a group of 20, plus more coming and going. A reservation. Early, on a not-so-busy Saturday night. In all fairness, the group number did ebb and flow, but it wasn't a "packed/hectic" scene. There would be an automatic 22% gratuity. We were seated at a table and we were told we had to order from the bar. So, I got our drinks, and a little later, ordered our meals. Later, my sandwich came, a reuben, delivered to the table by a kitchen staff who asked around the table to find out whose order it was. Same thing for the second meal--kitchen staff brought it to the table; asked around the table again. Now, multiply this by the number of people in our group. While others who ordered after me were served, my sandwich took a long time to come out of the kitchen. It was room temperature. Dry meat. Sparse house coleslaw. Hard toast. A mountain of strange, dark, hard waffle chips. Very disappointing. I bought more drinks at the bar. Over time, I cleared our area of our plates and glasses to the bar. Then, I went to settle the tab. Eric, behind the bar, was indicated on the bill. I'm angry that this gratuity went to one person. I think the automatic 22% gratuity is lopsided and unfair. Eric had dispensed 2 sodas and 3 draft beers. Other people served our food. I placed the food orders and bussed the table. Just downright shabby. Had I known going to The Mt. Washington Tavern meant "you place the orders, you get the drinks, you bus the tables, you pay a gratuity to someone who did almost nothing," I would not have gone. read more

I recently had the opportunity to check out Mount Washington Tavern for the first time when I went for my SIL's rehearsal dinner. The interior was very bar/pub atmosphere, but we were in the event space on the second floor which was more upscale. I checked the Yelp reviews before coming and was a little worried. The food was good, but not great. Nothing I ate was bad, but nothing blew me away either. I did get one of their drinks, the Charm City Punch, and that was fantastic. Our server was also pretty good and the manager that helped me with my allergies was also knowledgeable and helpful, which I appreciate. It was really loud in there and I do wish someone had closed the doors to our event room. I don't think I'd recommend them for event level food, but I'd come again for a night out with friends for good drinks and average food. read more

A long time ago, I lived in Mt Washington and would do time at the MWT only to have to stumble into flight up Sulgrave - I climbed so slowly So good to be back after many yrs to the new and improved MWT Met up with an old pal for dinner. We didn't get the prime rib special but, if you like prime rib, I suggest their Weds prime rib special night. Looked tasty & a lot of prime rib is served. I got the yummy prime rib quesadilla. They have some pretty tasty oysters too. Nice bar area - the MWT has always had competent bartenders who know their way around the stick read more

Great ambiance and nice looking bar. Have not tried the food yet but the drinks are fine

Stopped here before an event. Hadn't been here in 15 years, love the rebuild after the fire. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating, but service was below average and the food was no better than average for a bar. We had a pretzel board to start, it was very good but took almost :30 min to come out. For meals we had smash burger tacos, prime rib quesadilla, and a rueben. Everyone loved their fries, but thought the rest of the meal was just ok. Sad part is it was hard to get refills on drinks because nobody seemed to want to work. read more

My group of 8 all had great sandwiches expect for mine. Based upon another review I ordered the hot crab dip. This was very tasty, plenty to eat, but instead of having the crab mixed in with the dip, it was in top and there was very little of it. Service was fine read more

Hostess was amazing, very personable and friendly. Server wa slow, friendly very talkative, but addressed many regular patrons by name. The food came out in different times and heat levels.

5-Star Review for Patrick at Mount Washington Tavern I want to highlight the amazing service and kindness we experienced from Patrick. He visited our Planet Fitness location in Timonium, Maryland, and immediately complimented how clean the gym was and how friendly our staff members are. Then he surprised us with a variety of their delicious soups -- including their incredible chili and Maryland crab soup. The flavors were amazing, and it truly brightened our entire day. Patrick went above and beyond in a way you don't see often. He represents Mount Washington Tavern with genuine kindness, professionalism, and a great sense of community. Thank you, Patrick, for your thoughtfulness and outstanding service. You definitely deserve five stars! read more

I just wanted to say Patrick is amazing very charismatic, very helpful, very professional definitely makes me want to come back. the crab in the restaurant is best I ever had hands down definitely will be coming back for more and I suggest everybody who's debating on coming just come because u won't regret it I guarantee it! read more

First time here as came with my sister for Saturday brunch. We got there about noon. There were already some ppl seated and eating. We came in on the side because my sister had to use the ramp for her walker. We were seating right away. There was a little wait on the food once we did order but didn't took that to mean it was made to order. Our waiter, sorry to forget his name was friendly and attentive when at our table. It started to get busy around 1:15 and we were kind of close to the walkway from the kitchen near the bar. So there was alot of traffic. A woman I assumed was the manager came over to ask if we were ok and needed some boxes. It was around that time I felt as if they were rushing us. We were in conversation but once we received our containers packed our food. Not long after that the waiter came with the bill and became more frequent than seeing if we were ready to pay. No one offered us bags to take our food in ironically. The food was very good and I'll return but maybe order more for a longer stay. read more

Mt. Washington Tavern - Chesapeake omelet - American Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Bond with your dog over a hearty brunch. Very wooden inside, like a log cabin. There were dogs walking around, saying hello to people, making their rounds, going upstairs. We actually didn't even realize there was an upstairs until we saw a dog stroll by and head on up. Our visit was over the weekend during brunch hours. Both the brunch and normal lunch menus were on the table, both figuratively and literally. It's nice having options. I went with an omelet platter that came with a salad of all things. Someone else went with twin crab cakes. Nothing is off limits. Live out your fantasy. Start with wings, end with jumbo lump crab hash. Wash it all down with bottomless mimosas (or Bloody Mary's if that's more your thing). Fluffy eggs, hot coffee, good company, bright sunny mornings. You get all that here on any given weekend, any given day on this old chunk of coal rocketing through space to the edge of eternity. There's a parking lot on the premises, which is always nice. And the overall atmosphere is inviting to boozy brunchers, quiet coffee drinkers, and piggish pups all the same. I don't think I've ever seen anyone turned away, though there was one rowdy Shih Tzu that was given a fifteen minute timeout in the foyer, for he had been what locals could only describe as a "bad widdle boy." read more

This place... sucks. Been trying it out 4-5 times over few yrs/months. The workers and how the place looks is amazing though!! Just- so the brunch menu changed and it's worse now lol. For a brunch menu it lacks waffles (only one option) or pancakes, and doesn't cater much towards kids/families. The food is just all mixed with other stuff that they are trying too hard it's missing the simple things like a caesar salad. Food is just okay for how fancy and priced these items are, but I could definitely go to a cheaper place with better food. read more

I have been going to the Tavern for many years and was delighted to meet two friends for a casual dinner at a place that feels like the neighborhood hangout. The space is open and fun with lots of seating options. I ordered the veggie burger; it is in the top three veggie burgers I have had in Baltimore (and I have eaten a lot!). The burger is homemade by a local who uses natural and hearty ingredients. The bun and sauce were the perfect highlight combo. My friends had the poke bowls and a side of delicious fries. Our beer and wine pairings complemented the meal. Service was impeccable-we love you Erin! I am already looking forward to going back. read more

If the multiple cockroaches didn't climb the wall at the end of our evening I'd give more stars..... Staff were kind but not super attentive. We ordered oysters to start but they never arrived. Our meals arrived and they were fine. Overall nice evening until multiple cockroaches began climbing the wall next to our table. That was gross. A kitchen staff member suggested moving tables but we were finished our meals. He gave us a 50% discount which was unexpected and appreciated. read more

Wednesday a little after 4 pm, we hit happy hour and the prime rib special. Outstanding! Not very crowded but pretty noisy. Much of the noise was coming from the staff employees. Sitting at the bar, the service was fine and friendly. Prime rib (18oz) was cooked, medium rare to perfection. Happy hour oysters were fat and juicy. Select beers were happy hour discounted. This outing could not have been much better. read more

We had a celebration luncheon there December 30th (for about 20 people- including adults and children). We were BEYOND pleased with our experience from start to finish. It started with quick and easy communication with Mary to book it. On the day of, the service we received was exceptional! Our waitress was attentive and responsive to all our requests. She was checking in (the right amount) and made sure everyone had drinks/was served. When we arrived, the room was beautifully decorated with hanging ornaments for the holiday season. The flowers were BEAUTIFUL that we got through Holly- seriously consider using her if you're going to do an event there! We also felt spoiled that they set up a small kids table for them to be entertained with coloring and games, and separate from the main luncheon table. It was something we didn't even think of and made a huge difference in making the luncheon much more enjoyable for the adults and kids. We had pre-ordered appetizers for them to be ready to go when we arrived. The biggest hits were the grilled oysters (we got the Rockefeller and Casino ones), tuna tataki, and crab dip. The kids loved the pretzels appetizers as well. Everyone got to order off the menu for our luncheon because we had a smaller crowd. Everyone was pleased with their meal. Standouts were the scallops, crab cake sandwich, rockfish, and the Chesapeake salad. Overall, we would highly recommend considering The Mt Washington Tavern for your events! (Sadly forgot to take pictures of our food because we really were enjoying ourselves and everything we were eating.) read more
