    *Happy Hour Review* Visited during happy hour on Memorial Day. They offer happy hour (even on a holiday). Woot! This location is where the old Chi'bal used to be (for a point of reference). I never made it to the business that was here after Chi'bal. I really like the decor and vibe in here! They have a good selection of tequila. I got a margarita, and it was good. Service was on point. The bartenders were engaging and friendly. From their soocial media, it seems like it's poppin' on the weekends - DJ and all! I will be back soon to sit on the patio and enjoy the summer vibes! Cheers!

    Michelada at the bar

    I saw a viral video of "Salsa Bravo" Let me start by saying Im a HUGE FAN of SALSA Salsa the condiment and Salsa Music and add a twist of Urban ...so I have high expectations. I know this place was once Chibal (excelent food and service) then it became El Carbonero (not that great) i think it just Carbonero with a "urban" marketing theme So when I come in and they are playing a "Dj Adonis Bachata Mix" ...Im already like wtf. I was there a good 30-45mins NO SALSA MUSIC I asked the server shes like we play a little bit if everything. No complimentary Chips....NO SALSA I ordered the Sliders....they were burnt and no special or extraordinary Salsa with them. My Drink was good but nothing crazy. Still on the hunt for the Best Michelada.. The couple next to me was not too happy about their dessert. Not sure what they ordered.

    The food was good. The drinks were good The customer service was great. It wasn't busy at all. The inside was very nice with artwork on the walls, decorations hanging from the ceiling There was music playing which wasn't too loud. They have a bar area and tvs throughout the restaurant. I think I would.go back again to try other items on their menu. Also, there is outdoor seating.

    We ordered the steak, shrimp, and chicken fajitas, they were just okay. However, the service was great, and the drinks were delicious. Overall, a decent experience with standout service and beverages.

    And let's talk about the piña colada--hands down one of the best I've ever had.

    I went to Salsa Brava last night and the food was absolutely exceptional. I had the salmon topped with shrimp, served with perfectly seasoned vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes. Every bite was bursting with bold, delicious flavor. And let's talk about the piña colada--hands down one of the best I've ever had. Smooth, refreshing, and made to perfection. Overall, an amazing dining experience from start to finish. The service was a solid 10/10: attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. The ambiance was clean, stylish, and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a great night out. Overall, an unforgettable dining experience that I'll definitely be returning for.

    Tacos Michelin - Taste of 3 different tacos - worth every bite!! Loved the spice!

    We were passing through on our way to Myrtle Beach and since we hit major traffic outside of DC we decided to stop and eat dinner. When I first picked this spot I told my husband never mind because of the few reviews and not all 5 stars. But of course hubby said let's the try it... and glad we did. It wad right up my alley. The spice and flavor was out of this world, if you are more into bland food ... then keep it moving... but if you love flavor and some spice then make sure you try it!! I would definitely come back!! The service was also on top of everything'.

If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

There was like a tangy sauce on the tuna which took away from the flavor of the fish and for $22 I was expecting something a bit more. Otherwise, Jailbreak is always a solid choice for drinks and grub. They usually have reservations and larger parties, but it's a pretty open/communal space, so there aren't typically issues with seating. All in all, a great spot for many occasions.

The bar has a nice buzz about it but isn't overly crowded. This a bar which seats 10ish guests, plenty of 4top seating, and a pool table in the main area of the bar. There is also outdoor picnic style seating set up outside; it seems like that outdoor seating is sometime available but also sometimes not (maybe depending on the weather or what staff is available). The food is solid; I've had the old bay wings, clam strips, and fries. My girlfriend really loved the clamstrips (and that's saying something because she's had so many from different spots). The wings were good but not the best I've ever had. We got mostly well drinks on our most recent visit; they were all well made and were at a great price point. I'll gladly come back for the laid back vibes, simple food and drink offerings, and friendly service

They have great selection for their lunch special with really good prices! I couldn't decide between wings or shrimp so I got both and I was not disappointed! Since it was lunch time it wasn't a lot of people in there which was fine by me lol. The bartenders are friendly as well. I hear they have a great happy hour as well so I plan on going back to see what that's like. Oh they have a a few pool tables in there too!

Based on my previous experience, I didn't really know how it would be or if I would enjoy myself, but I want it to be open and give it a chance.

Now, if I ever want to go anywhere randomly late at night, I can get here in 10 minutes. I should give the food another shot. I wonder if it is improved over time?

The ambiance just felt off. It was bit dark, a bit unkempt, and the crowd was...interesting. Not the vibe we were going for at all. There's a small pool hall attached, which could be a plus for some, but it didn't really change my overall impression of the space. We stayed for maybe five minutes max before deciding to leave. As soft life luxury girls, we knew this just wasn't our scene. Because of that, I can't speak on the food or service, but first impressions matter and this one didn't land for me.

Queen Anne's is only one county away from where I live, Anne Arundel, but the Eastern shore feels like a whole other world. L is for Looneys Pub in Maple Lawn: Looney's Pub has been a staple around UMD campus for many years. I went to college at Arizona State University; so I had never experienced Looney's until January 2025 when I went to the College Park location for a friend's birthday party, which my girlfriend & I enjoyed. My g/f is a lifelong Marylander and had been Looney's before at least, both of our most local location in Maple Lawn.

Our table got a grilled cheese, garden salad with grilled chicken, and a mound of fries. The grilled cheese was Looney's style, which is their way of saying a classic grilled cheese but with bread that's the thickness of Texas toast and it's super cheesy! The grilled cheese also comes with fries, which are good - not the best fries I've ever had but perfect for what I was craving. The grilled chicken was an extra cost, but the salads are fairly customizable. My friend asked for no mushrooms and no dressing and they were happy to accommodate. If you don't like a loud atmosphere obviously as a sports bar this place isn't for you, but it never felt overwhelming and we could clearly hear the trivia results (half of the TVs and a projector state the question). Pro tip: sit close to the table because you have 90 seconds to answer and submit after each question. The crushes here are also extremely tasty - highly recommend!
