I was jetlagged after a long flight and wanted food. Unfortunately after we found a table and checked the menu and were ready to order there were several others trying to order at the bar and only one bartender currently there. The prices also seemed a tad expensive and there was also a notice at the door that they charge an extra fee for credit cards. Unfortunately we ended up leaving and tried another place and had much better service, reasonable prices, and did not get charged any credit card fee.

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.

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 vibes are right and the bartenders were nice and chatty, the only reason this place isnt "my" place and doesn't get 5 stars is because they dont make a very good dirty martini and thats like base level. I asked for it extra dirty and I could barely taste the olive brine, I actually had to have him pour more in front of me lol. Also service was a little slow. So for grabbing a quick drink with the girls sure, but staying as a regular nah.

It's definitely on the divey side, but in a fun, laid-back way. Our server was great and even let us sample a few beers before ordering. I tried a pumpkin ale -- which I actually loved! It surprised me because I don't usually drink beer (hate is a strong word, but I normally don't like it). This one was sweeter and enjoyable. We got the garlic rosemary fries (the aioli was perfect), plus the blackened chicken tenders and honey Old Bay wings. Definitely not a place that'll leave you hungry -- portions are generous! We had a great time and enjoyed all our food. The only reason I left off a star was because the bathroom freaked me out a little ..but I'd still visit again.

Union Hill Kitchen & Craft Bar has all the components of a restaurant you want. Excellent customer…read moreservice, amazing food, and they truly cater to their guests. I actually found Union Hill while planning my friend's 40th birthday dinner from another state, and from the moment I reached out, everything just flowed. I inquired about hosting a dinner and one of the owners, Matt, got back to me within a day. From there, the planning felt effortless. He answered all my questions, stayed in communication, and really helped bring the whole vision together. We had close to 30 people for the dinner in one of their private dining areas, and when I say the staff was impeccable... they were ON IT. My friend had no idea where she was going, so this was a full surprise. Once we gave the staff the green light, they were ready and immediately started accommodating everyone. Everything just flowed from there. We did family-style appetizers, which I loved because everyone got to try a little bit of everything. Everything was flavorful and came out at the perfect pace. For my entrée, I had the salmon and it was so good. And listen... I hosted the whole thing, ate there that night, AND still had leftovers to take home. That's always a win. They were also super accommodating leading up to the event. I was able to drop off the cake and cake pops the evening before, and I was even able to decorate the private dining area, which made everything feel really personal. What could have easily been a stressful experience ended up feeling seamless. The restaurant atmosphere is beautiful. The private dining area worked perfectly for our group, and they even have an upstairs outdoor area as well as a downstairs outdoor space, which I didn't get to experience this time but definitely want to the next time I go back. I'm so grateful I came across Union Hill Kitchen & Craft Bar. It made such a special occasion even better.

He walked across the bar, mossied up to me, greated me and sat in my lap. He languished there for a good five minutes until he got bored and went about whatever cat business he had on the agenda. The venue is mid sized. There is an L shaped bar with plenty of seating. There are inside tables and a few seats outside in the front. The music was a mix of hip hop and more recent r&b, but I would imagine that changes depending on the crowd. I could drink here all day, and almost did, but there were more breweries in "Ballamore" I wanted to explore. The BEER: The Doctor Says I'm Hazy NEIPA 6.5% ABV... Orange and lemon peel, this is the one. Very very very lovely. Motown Natty Dough Vienna Lager 5.4% ABV... clean, crisp Vienna Lager Mobtown Cover Two Imperial IPA 9.1% ABV...

What a great place to drink well crafted beer.

He was very much enjoying his nap while we were there, but I hope to give him some love if he's out and about next time we are there. The beers they had during this visit weren't my favorite styles, but they did have a Black Forest stout I ended up enjoying. I'll definitely return and see what other beers they have in rotation!

My friends and I chose Of Love & Regret as our local neighborhood brunch destination on a Sunday…read moremorning. It was dimly lit, lowkey, and quiet- great for our group of 5 (plus one baby). The service was a little prompt but a little confusing as we had two waitresses that did not seem to be communicating since we got asked the same question multiple times by both. The food did come out quickly though! I ordered The Roma sandwich and swapped the fries for the kale caesar salad. The chicken was juicy and paired well with the fresh tomato, field greens, and creamy aioli. The fresh rosemary focaccia was buttery, however, it was still dry and flaky and fell apart rather easily so it was hard to actually eat it as a sandwich. The kale salad was veryyy creamy and heavily dressed with lots of cheese so that's great if that's your jam- I just enjoy a lighter salad. I did steal a french fry from my friend and they were salty, crispy, and quite delicious. The rest of the food was ordered by my friends and are their flavor reports. The hangover burrito was devoured by my two friends, but the words "structural integrity" were mentioned multiple times- unsure if this was due to a weak tortilla, wrapping skills, or a combination of both. My friend's shroom burger was average- the patty was a little dry and underseasoned, but the umami mushrooms and garlicky sauce saved it. The beet burger was savory, paired well with the vinegar and aioli sauces, and is a great vegetarian option. My biggest complaint about this establishment was the price. The food was all decent, but my bill for one drink and one sandwich was $50 total, which I deem as pretty steep.
