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.

I am not much of a beer drinker so was happy to see they had some cocktail options. I ordered the Blackberry mule. It was just the right amount of sweetness in my opinion. My friend got a flight- their favorite was the Udder Chocolate with Boats and Hose as the runner up. I wasn't originally planning to get food but could not help myself when I saw they had a Chicago style hotdog. It was tasty despite being a bit of a mess to eat with the topping piled high. It comes with a side of kettle cooked chips that somehow managed to be just as good, maybe even better than the hot dog. The bartenders were pleasant and efficient with checking in on us and clearing plates as needed.

Street parking is free, though it's important to check the posted restrictions, and there is also a small public lot just a short walk away. Our group of 11 had a smooth and pleasant evening. Our server was relatively new but handled the large party with confidence, including separate checks, which we appreciated. She was still learning the menu, but she offered honest recommendations based on dishes she had tried herself. The food was well received across the table. The kitchen gladly accommodated two guests with dietary restrictions, and that flexibility was greatly appreciated. I ordered the Lamb Shawarma, which had tender meat and a wonderful blend of Mediterranean spices. The empty plates around the table said it all. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The chocolate mousse cake and the layered almond-lemon cake were both rich, flavorful, and a perfect finish. With generous hospitality, accommodating service, reasonable prices, and a menu I'd like to explore further, Olive on Main is definitely a place I'd return to.

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. There was a DJ, and since the last time I came, the booth moved! The afro beats were going strong. It was pretty busy in there, but there was space to sit at the bar. We just got a round of rails and we're satisfied for the night. The Vibes were pretty awesome and both the patrons and the staff were very nice. 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. In September 2025, my g/f & I visited the Maple Lawn as they were having a Ravens kickoff pep rally. They had some music, cheerleaders, etc. They were busy, but once we got seated, service was decent. We pigged out on their delicious crab cheese fries, which we remembered we enjoyed at our friend's birthday party. Overall, Looney's is a good option over here.

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!
