In any other city, the crab cakes here would be 5 star as they were pretty dang good. Not the best I've had by any means, but way better than what most places try and pass off as a crab cake. The dinner option was generous with 2 delicious crabby mounds, and two sides which I did not want, but I was able to sub out others. Nice! The old fashioned wasn't much to look at, but man o man... it was actually pretty good and a reasonable price. I had a couple as I'm not one to pass up cheap drinks. Service was spectacular too with our waiter joking around with us and taking good care of us while we dined after a conference. If you're in Baltimore and near the convention center (or the Orioles Park), this place is worth a stop if you're in a crab cake mood and don't want to venture to the Inner Harbor for something a little more upscale. read more

Absolutely terrible!!! First night in Baltimore and had the absolute worst service and food. My the waitress got my husband's order wrong twice after waiting forever and it was not busy. And did not offer any resolution only blaming her ordering device. DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

The Pratt Street Ale House team was a blast to work with for our event! Especially because we had to book them short notice. Everyone checked in with our guests and our party periodically, they were open to answer all of our questions, and the energy of the staff was really great. Talking to everyone, joking with them, they were a blast to talk to! The food was really good too! The sweet chili wings were so great to eat! The spicy rub chicken was good too! The rest were really good too! Especially as vegetarian options! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe of our event room was awesome! It's called The Library. The location was roomy but also felt homey at the same time. TV is there in the middle too for other game events if you want to watch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 5/5 experience and I've gone back already these past couple of days too! read more

I went to this spot because I had been staying at a nearby hotel for a conference and this restaurant was across the street. It's a big space and I went this some colleagues as walk-ins and we got seated right away. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed the option size. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt very American, if that makes any sense. It gave me the casual Fridays/ Applebees vibes without being so gimmicky.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I were in the area and looking for a quick, affordable and casual meal, I'd go back. read more

Great food, booze and staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is casual!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything ended up damn near perfect!

We stopped here for a late lunch and a drink. We chose a seat at the bar. Staff here were friendly and there was a decent beer selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have an outdoor seating area and table seating inside as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We decided to share a cheesesteak and fries. The fries were average in my opinion. The cheesesteak was good! My bf and I both enjoyed it. It was a large sandwich and we were both full sharing it. I would have added a bit more pepper and some garlic or onion powder, but that's just me. The roll was good, the meat was tender, and the cheese whiz worked well with jt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, this spot had a nice, casual vibe and I'd return again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We stopped by a little after 11am on a Saturday and there were 12 of us. We were able to get a table outside for all of us with not a lot of notice which was great. It's right across the street from the convention center which is convenient. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. My crab cake sandwich was a bit on the pricey side but good. I thought my friend's nachos needed more toppings and cheese. We also got orange crushes which were pretty good. Our server was very patient and funny and we all loved him. He was the best party of the experience! read more

Arrived here around 1230 on a Thursday, no wait at the bar. We had just got in from KC and we're hungry, decided to have the crab appetizer with the baguettes, so good. Enough for a meal for 2 but would make a great app for a group. Kelly and Jazz were behind the bar taking care of everyone. This all paired well with my Paloma and my sisters Margarita. I will be back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A great place to meet up before or after a game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were here for the Army-Navy game and had a table of 8. Food ended up being good and our server was awesome but the kitchen seemed overwhelmed and took forever to get us served. It resulted in us getting to our game later than we wanted. Very good draft beer list. read more

Service was fairly quick and staff were quite friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was bustling when we visited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At the time of our visit, they were out of several microbrews listed on their menu. The Asian salads came with an abundance of lettuce, grilled chicken, and veggies but weren't chopped finely as one would expect in an Asian salad. The sesame salad dressing was thick and very overpowering, much like a marinade or such. Definitely order that on the side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The pub is quaint and rustic as one might expect for a pub.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was outdoor seating but the noise from the busy traffic was a deterrent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great hot wings. Great grilled chicken sandwich. Service was great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it has that great pub ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely worth a visit. read more

Food is below average, service is unfriendly and slow, and the beer is just fine (and it is a BREWERY!). If you want beer served in plastic cup, by a server who is obviously overworked and barely smiles and brings the wrong beer, and wings which are overcooked to drying...look no further: you have come to the right place! Everything is overpriced too. read more

I wondered why the building was so big, but it all made sense when I walked in and the place was packed (both up and downstairs). Got on the waitlist with an estimated 30 minute wait, but we were seated within 15. My girlfriend wanted a regular hamburger, but Pratt Street Ale only has specialty burgers, which was kind of odd. They don't even have an option on the register for a regular hamburger, so we still got charged for the specialty. However, it did taste REALLY good - maybe not $17 good, but up there. The hot chicken sandwich was okay. Not as spicy as I'd like, and I wish there were some more pickles or coleslaw to add flavor. Fries were amazing if you like crinkle cut! My biggest gripe was PARKING! There is virtually no parking nearby unless you're willing to pay $40+ for 45 minutes in the public lot. Insane! No street parking in front of the building, so you'll have to drive around for a bit to find a meter. But you'll get a nice walk on the way to and from the building! read more

Pratt Street Ale House - Hot chicken sandwich - Pubs Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Do NOT eat here! Bad food quality and lousy customer service. Uncaring management. I experienced the absolute worst service and food quality at this restaurant on 6/17/25, to include double-charging me for mac & cheese with crab. The restaurant's manager, Jennifer Myers, was totally rude to me and reneged on her promise to correct a bad meal. They served me mac & cheese w/crab ($28) with VIRTUALLY NO CRAB meat. When I reported the problem to the manager, Jennifer Myers, she promised to replace my meal with an option of my choice: two crab cakes. Twenty minutes later, she pulled a bait and switch, and served me a MKT price ($58) crab cake dinner. When I called out the double-priced meal, the manager returned, over-talked me, snatched the food back, and left me with nothing! She even called me "aggressive" when I asked for better service, and advocated for myself and respectable service. My table companions told her, "He's not aggressive." In the end, I left with nothing. What kind of service is that? Terrible. Eat where the restaurant's staff respects you. Skip Pratt Street Ale House! Do NOT visit this establishment, unless you're prepared to accept worse-than-mediocre food quality and lousy customer service. Go to Okona Grill or somewhere else where people welcome you and provide top-notch service and food. You'll thank me. Trust me. read more

Customer Service: 5 Affordability: 4 Food quality: 4 Portion sizes: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Military discount: Yes I decided to stop by the Pratt Street Ale House this evening for dinner, because it was within just two blocks from my hotel. This is a popular sports bar that is close to the Oriole Park at Camden Yards and the Baltimore Convention Center. I ordered their fish and chips for dinner, and choose to watch the baseball game in the bar area. This sports bar was not busy and I didn't have any wait. My fish and chips was seasoned very well and it was a large portion. Lastly, I was given a military discount of my meal which was a pleasant surprise. @glampedlife read more

Stayed at Hilton nearby. Great fish, too salty fries. Cost was manageable considering location. Service, while friendly, was extremely slow. It took 2 hours for our party of two at 8:00pm on a Wednesday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Update: We returned for a second meal. This time, service was much quicker. Food was out in 20 minutes. Lunch on Saturday at 2:00pm. read more

Came in for dinner and the wings were amazing! You can't beat an orange crush one of my favorite drinks to get when I'm along the mid Atlantic. read more

The food was great but the service they were making stank faces when I asked for some straws and and they were just slacking.

This was the first restaurant I visited in Baltimore since moving from the West Coast, and it was a short but great experience :) I came here because the tattoo convention was in town and it was a chance for me to explore and get a bite to eat before visiting the exhibits! I am aware that crab is very popular, so my husband and I split the crab pretzel and we each had a local beer. The pretzel was nice and fluffy with a heaping of crab and cheese on top. It was enough for the two of us, probably one other person. The bartender was super friendly and gave us some recommendations for other seafood spots around the area. Overall, it was a very casual and chill atmosphere with a menu I'd like to explore more once we return! read more

Attending a concert at the remodeled arena, the Pratt Street Ale House was a short walk and a better option than paying for overpriced food in the arena. For a Friday night, it was packed and yet we didn't wait the 25 minutes for a table for 3. Service was quick and friendly and the mood was cozy for a pub. We (well I) had to try the fried pickles and mozz sticks. The pickles were tasty but the breading was too thick. And yet, they almost disappeared. Mozz sticks were on point. I tried the Bmore Hot Chicken sandwich which comes with a healthy portion of crinkle fries. The hot chicken tasted more like hot sauce than other hot chickens. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Spicy enough to satisfy but be open to something a little different. The menu has enough variety to meet most expectations of any group - friends or family. read more

Across from the convention center, easy place to grab some tasty bites. We came here twice during a convention, once for lunch and again at night. The place is laid with brickwork, glass windows and wooden barrels creating a waterfront look even though the water is a bit further down. Staff are friendly, and the place can get busy but the waitress checked in often to let us know where our food was. The jerk chicken wings were so great we had to come back again for another round. The crab pretzels was surprisingly delicious, soft, salty, and savory. A great find. They did notify us when they sat us down and handed the menus there was a 20% gratuity fee. But the food and service along with the decor made the lunch and dinner drinks easy peasy. read more

If you've seen any of my reviews you know I like craft beer. Pratt street ale house did not disappoint. I had an oatmeal stout. It was great. The service was excellent. This is a nice place to relax and have a few beers. I loved it read more

I've been here a couple times because it is so close to the hotel and convention center. This trip I got a bbq chicken salad. It was good and plenty to make me full the only unfortunate thing is my salad took 40 min to get to me and there were only like 3 occupied tables in the whole section with 2 waitresses. Some issue with the kitchen. The berry sour beer is delicious. read more

Came with a very large group for dinner. Got the fish and chips and paired it with a local beer both were great.

Would come back for sure. read more

My experience mirrored a lot of the other reviews. Service was odd and not attentive, food was not the best, and there was an auto-20% gratuity added. My group was seated quickly, but the waiter took a while to come by and take our orders. The food also was slow to come out. Everything was alright, but not great. I had the chicken sandwich: little seasoning, some of it was cold, the chicken was dry, and the fries weren't great. I also tried the pickle fries and they were okay. I think the main reason this place gets busy is that it's right on Pratt next to the convention center and the harbor is nearby. I think it's more just in a convenient location. read more

Went for a late lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was almost empty and hostess put us in a dirty booth. Plates had dried food from the dishwasher[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Had to ask to have the table wiped down . Ordered a beer from the tap and 2 crab cake sandwiches at their "market price" of $38 each. Server was nice but slow considering there was almost no-one there. $100 for sub-par food and a dirty table. There are far better options so we won't be back to this place. read more

I was visiting Baltimore on a work trip. This Ale was across the street from my hotel. It is walking distance from the Hilton. The service was amazing and they made us feel welcomed. Made great recommendations on the menu. The food was priced nicely. Altogether for my food I spent about $50. The Ambiance is more of a hang out spot. Bright lighting, TVs throughout and a lot of groups sitting at tables. All in all it was really nice. read more

Stumbled over to this place after completing a scavenger hunt at the National Harbor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we arrived on a Saturday evening around 7 it was a ghost town with only 5 people at the bar and no other patrons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartender I believe his name is James has a peculiar sense of humor. Think a snarky chip on his shoulder but acts like he's joking type of manner. Soon as we walked in he said "ughhhh I was hoping to close early" to which I responded apologizing and said we didn't know you were about to close as we attempt to turn around. He then said come in and have a drink I've got to get rid of these pests first talking about the other patrons. We each had one drink here and enjoyed having a conversation with the other bar hoppers. Due to the not so friendly and very snarky bartender we ended up leaving to head to Mack O'sheas in which 3 of the other patrons followed us and we walked together. I may would return during a game day perhaps and if another bartender is working but I can't say it's a place I will recommend or seek out. The bartender also shared that he was divorced at 40 and hoping to get laid that night which is why he needed the bar to close early. Not a good look mixing so much of your personal life with strangers in a bar where you work. read more

Absolute horrible service, asked the bartender for a charger, he was absolutely disrespectful, when I tried to walk away after he disrespected me and my group by saying "he won't give a charger to me or the likes of me" while motioning to my group, but when I tried to walk away he continued to tell me I was in my feelings and hurt. Have never experienced something like this over a simple question. The salmon was chewy. If you're reading this I recommend not going as it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've had dining in a restaurant. Bartender said he was a 44 year old man but when I tried to ignore him, he acted like a 5 year old child. I didn't get his name but he was an African American, said he was 44 and was wearing black and white shoes that looked like converses, I heard him pestering other guests about their tip. In no world can I imagine someone like this being employed at an establishment that I have heard so much good things about. If it helps locate this bartender this happened on 05/09 around 8 pm. He eventually gave us a charger and continued to chirp at me, I put my hand up in reference to not wanting to talk about anything, and he came around the bar and approached our table to grab the charger, we gave it back to them but damn, god forbid a mf ask for a phone charger ! read more

My family stopped here before an Orioles game on a Saturday. Although the restaurant was busy, we didn't have to wait for a table in the upstairs area of the restaurant.

We will stop by here again in the future. read more
