    - The Greek Goddess
    Sophie B.

    Snake Hill is a fun joint with overall tasty food and a good selection of drinks. That said, I do think it's a bit pricey for what it is and there's a few things they could work on. 1) The sausage sandwiches, like the Greek Goddess pictured, don't come with any sort of side. I think a nice, complimentary side option of something even as simple as chips would really elevate their menu. (That said, the sausages are delicious. My friend got the Greek goddess and said it was amazing, same with the crab mac and cheese dog that I forget the name of) 2) I am gluten free. At this point, I know I can't expect every restaurant to cater to me... but I really do think this place would benefit from a GF bun option for their sausages. They label what sausage are gluten free, which is great, but I even told them no bun and they forgot to do that. (They offered to remake it and were very nice - so the service was not an issue regarding that.) I do just think that it could use a gluten-free option! 3) The inside is a bit cramped so I'd like to see if they could somehow elevate their outdoor space. As of now it's just right next to an alley that isn't super aesthetically pleasing. All said, I'm willing to try again but I think long term, Snake Hill could consider some things to make it tasty & a good experience for everyone!

    - Kale Caesar Salad
    Rachel K.

    Unique gourmet glizzies!! My friends and I stopped by for lunch on a sunny Sunday and sat outside at one of the picnic tables. Immediate good vibes from this place. We ordered an assortment of different sausages which all came out hot and delicious on toasted brioche buns. Note: The hot peppers you can add on top don't play around! They spicy. We really enjoyed trying different and unique flavors of sausage. Duck, lamb, pork, rabbit rattlesnake! Kale Caesar salad was also great and had the perfect amount of dressing. Service was great and friendly.

    Rabbit Rattlesnake was not gamey at all

    We ate at the bar. The bartender was attentive and helpful as we were navigating the menu. I went with the rabbit alligator sausage which was a pleasant treat. It was not gamey at all. Can't wait to come back.

    Overall pretty good, just a few atmosphere things I'd recommend. Came on a Friday around 7pm. It is a VERY small place, suggest just coming in a group of 2, but max 4. There are some outdoor tables too. You can sit at the bar or a table but have to order at the bar. Very funky menu with lots of unique sausages so suggest trying a few! I got the Natty Boh sausage w/ crab Mac. It was tasty and filling, came on a brioche bun which was nice. But at $16, I would've appreciated some kind of side, maybe even a pickle. The truffle fries are great but they could've been a little crispier. As for seating, it's all bar height with no backs. Hard to sit for a long time. The tables also have no hooks for purses or jackets, an easy add that would give a little more space on the already small tables. All in all, it's good food, not a great value but tasty. Atmosphere could use a little sprucing but I would recommend it!

    We love Snake Hill! Particularly the Frosé we get it all the time and the service is great as well!!
    Erin B.

    Snake Hill is always a good time! Great for a casual drink with friends-- the frizzy frosé is a staple with my friend group. The people are friendly and the prices aren't too bad, which is what I'm always looking for.

    - Vegan Mexican Chipotle
    Brenda S.

    Snake Hill is an absolute gem in Highlandtown! I loved living a few blocks from it and still come back to the area just for it. The vegan hot dogs are spectacular and packed with flavor. The Mac and cheese is very rich and yummy. The drinks are always amazing, they even made me a hot toddy one day when I needed a little congestion cleared up. The frozen drinks are always amazing as well. The bartenders are always super sweet. Quick side story, they once saw me crying as I was trying to leave a bad first date and they didn't even make me pay for my drink after I insisted. They even offered to walk me home (a kind patron ended up helping out!) But this is exactly what a neighborhood spot should be like! The vibes are always so fun here and there's no place quite like it!

    Was looking for a new to me spot - reviews fit the bill of bar food and good beer list. All an understatement. Killer ambience. Great service from bartender. Welcoming neighborhood vibes. Great draft and can list. Had the shore tots and dipasquale - both delicious. Also the best frozen rose I've ever had in my life! Will be back!

    Food: Hot from the grill. The Buns on the sausage is soggy and will break apart but the meat, cooked to perfection. The lamb rosemary sausage was my favorite. The rosemary isn't too heavy and the lamb is perfect. The rabbit rattlesnake could have more favors to stand out but, it was well cooked and still very good. The truffle rings can be smelled from outside the bar. The amount of oil is a bit much for my taste. Shake and let sit maybe. They were good just a little too much oil for my liking. Overall, many food options and many unique ones at that. Great pricing and good bang for the buck at a bar. Good job! The DiPasquale isn't a 'real DiPasquale' as they 'used to' use DiPasquale for the meats however, now do not so, I'm not sure what makes it the classic 'DiPasquale'. If you're going to use the name, use the product! Service: Dean was great. Energetic, attentive and knows his drinks. Suggested great food options and made a great old fashioned without the bacon (thank you) Ambiance: Great ambiance, clean, and collective. The natural wood and metal with the historic accents makes this place have a unique presentation. I'd say this is a dive bar but, it doesn't quite qualify. There's no musty old mop water smell with old carpet, it's the total opposite. Not that it's bad, it's just hard to give this place a 'clique' which is even better, it's unique to its own and that's what makes it so great. Handling/Standards: Clean, well kept and no sticky bar at least at 6pm on a Wednesday. Bathrooms are clean and the place is well kept. I can't speak to the kitchen as you don't see much but the bar staff was sanitary and well put together grooming standards for not having uniforms.

    Delicious food, and the wildest art throughout. Great service also. We immediately had someone notice we came in and hand us a memo and we weren't at the bar. I'm not used to such good service in some of my DC, I'll be honest....Baltimore won that night.

    Pho dog

    TLDR: Eccentric sausages and a great beer selection. The perfect neighborhood hangout. Vibe: 4/5. Located in Highlandtown, Snake Hill is the epitome of the neighborhood hangout. Setup out of a row home, the bar is relatively small, with a 10 seater bar at the front and 2 long community high top tables in the rear. During peak hours, the small space could prove to be problematic, especially if coming with a large group. During warmer months, they have a few picnic tables available surrounding the building. The kitchen is located out in the open behind the bar so the wonderful smells of freshly grilled meat tubes fills the bar. Service: 5/5. The staff at Snake Hill were great from start to finish. There are no waiters at the bar, so when you are ready to order, you must go to any of the friendly bartenders to place your order. If ordering food, they utilize vibrating pagers to alert you when your order is ready for pickup at the bar. This system works great, especially if sitting outside. During our visit, we sat at the communal tables in the back and had no problems getting our beers and food in record time. Food: 5/5. Some of the best, most creative sausage blends in Baltimore. They are most famous for their pho dog, which is a blend of pork, Thai basil, star anise and Sriracha that accurately mimics the flavor profile of a bowl of pho. They also have exotic meat sausages for the more adventurous eaters, such as ghost pepper alligator and rabbit rattlesnake. One thing I definitely appreciate about Snake Hill is their social media presence, as they regularly announce special menu items. Overall, I highly recommend swinging by Snake Hill for a fresh glizzy and a beer, or 3!

    Snake Hill is a homey neighborhood bar in Highlandtown. I love the eclectic feel of the bar area and the creative drinks. They seriously have some awesome cocktail concoctions that always seem to be changing and elevating. They usually have weekly specials for food and drinks so you can try something new every time. Stand outs on the menu include their wings, their mac n cheese, and of course, the sausage. Now, I'm not really a sausage kinda gal. I don't really eat red meat so it's never been my thing. However, Snake Hill grill has a variety of chicken, veggie, and "exotic" sausages so that even the most sausage averse person can probably find something they like. The sausage comes on a brioche bun and you get two free toppings. Plus, they have plenty of fun mustard to dress up your dog with. I chose the mango and habanero chicken sausage with hots and sauerkraut and dressed it up with old bay mustard and the bourbon mustard. Delish! Note: I got it without the bun since I stay away from gluten however, the mango habanero sausage is not GF because of the breadcrumbs. There are clearly marked GF sausage options on the menu though! My friend got the mac and cheese and we shared an order of small fries which came with a spicy mayo. My friend added crab to his mac and cheese but it honestly just looked like Old Bay was sprinkled on top - no crab meat to be seen... probably not worth the $4 upcharge. The fries were hot and thick cut and the small serving size was still enough to share. The cocktails were the Hi-C special and tasted just like an adult version of Hi-C! Overall, I'd definitely come back for more food and drinks. My only suggestion would be to add a GF bun to the menu so GF folks can enjoy the GF sausages as they are intended to be served. Cheers!

    I enjoyed my visit here this weekend! I arrived around 1pm on Saturday and it was not crowded - there was plenty of indoor space, which was good because it is hot out! I had a lot of trouble deciding what to get - everything sounded good. The menu was more extensive than what they had on their website, too. I ended up with the Pho Real sandwich, which was good. I think I would try something else next time because it was dominated by hoisin sauce, which I like but I felt it drowned out the other flavors a bit. But the sausage itself had a good flavor and I enjoyed it. The fried green beans were my favorite. I would go back just for those! Get the dipping sauce (I think it was Sriracha mayo maybe?) Lots of other things looked good so i would like to come back and try others!

    This was my first time here and it was actually a nice visit! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The bar itself is narrow with some bar seating and four tops. If you plan to come with a larger group, they have tables for about 8 towards the back but there are only 2, so call ahead if you can. (not sure if they allow that though) The menu has a good range of different things including some exotic meats. My friend got the alligator hotdog which may have also had rattlesnake ... I opted for the pho real sausage and it was DELICIOUS! The sausage itself along with the toppings, really encompassed the whole Pho experience without the broth, it was pretty impressive. I do wish however, they offered a side with the items or provided an up cost for doing a side item. The kitchen is also visible from where ever you're sitting and you can even see the different sausages in a case right next to the bar. They also have excellent drink options there, we opted for the Nitro White russian cocktail which almost tasted like dessert!! So good! Give them a visit if you're in the area!

The bar interior was classic food, with a huge main bar that showcased the many brew and spirit options. The bartenders were also spot on with their service and spot on beer suggestions.

    Great old-school bar, Great music every day!…read more We are always happy when we can catch a band at Cats Eye Pub in Fells Point Baltimore. Lots of rock and some americana. We were even happier to catch a blues band the other day! (Jun 2026). Charlie Owen & Pocket Change gave a great performance, with some well-known songs and a number of good more-obscure ones. It's fun when they feature one or another band member for a riff. We also love the divey character of the bar, while the crowd is more hip than divey. It's dark and gets crowded. The stools at the bar and by the windows always fill up. The ones along the wall come and go. The dance floor is usually packed. There's a room in back with a few tables, too, and you can hear the band from there, too. The bar has a full selection. They have around two dozen beers on tap, mostly crafts, some standards. Morgan pulled us a Snowball Sour draft from Dundalk's Key Brewing. It was smooth and creamy, only lightly sour, a fairly mild flavor, but well-balanced and pleasant. Steven served us a Banhez Mezcal, nicely flavored, rather mild in that trend to over-refine the bite out of agave spirits. He brought out a tequila that he likes, though i dont recall the name, also smooth and not bitey. We ended with a pure shot of Absolut Peppar, normally an ingredient to add some spice to bloody marys. On its own, there really is no spice, just the dark and slightly bitter bite of jalapeño and black pepper. We love Cat's Eye Pub! It's one of very few spots for blues in Baltimore.

I have struggled with my Duda's review since August since I would strongly recommend it but I'm also price-cautious. To make matters worse I don't remember the exact crab market price but it was possibly $31 or $32 for one and low $50s for two (fact-checkers welcome). The crab cake was superb. All killer, no filler. The potato salad was very good. While I didn't love the price/volume I can't claim expertise on market prices and If you look at the drink prices this is clearly not a ripoff place. Possibly it's a better deal if you're with a group and can split some apps. In line with my slow education that Baltimore has more than the Inner Harbor, Duda's had a spectacular sense of place. It was a rare experience in feeling like a true locals place that is friendly to tourists. There's no record scratch and "you ain't from around here." The waiter was excellent and was impressively emphatic about the crab cakes.

This is when the night turned. 4 of the 7 of us wanted to leave and head elsewhere, the waitress made ALL 7 of us pay even though the others wanted to stay and order more. She would not budge on this and seemed pretty nonchalant about it. .. all in all. Glad we found it but won't be back.

    Hats off to the folks at the Wren one of the oldest pubs in the city of Baltimore (and maybe even…read morethe country). This spot has a rotating menu outlined on a chalkboard. While menu items are constantly changing, the quality and flavors remain top tier. Fresh and locally sourced food prepared in house. Tried a few menu items while sitting at the bar. Chorizo and Egg and the smoked trout. The chorizo was excellent but I'm still raving about that trout. This is a classic scotch bar with original motifs of solid wood throughout the Wren. The people were lovely. Very talkative, game historical context about the city. Go for food and also go thirsty.

    I was so lucky to snag a spot here for dinner! I actually tried to dine here back in January, but…read moreunfortunately they didn't have the capacity to seat a table of five. I've been following them on Instagram for a while, so I was especially excited to finally make it in. The rotating chalkboard menu was one of the things that really intrigued me about this place. We asked the bartender for recommendations, and he suggested the bread and butter, country plate, blanquette de veau, and madeleines, which we completely devoured. I tried quite a few dishes and ingredients I had never had before, and everything was absolutely impeccable Such a fun and unique dining experience. I'm so glad I finally got the chance to try it!

    Incredible burgers and vibes. The Fancy Burger (caramelized onions, tomato, bacon, gruyere, garlic…read moreaioli) was one of the best burgers I've had in Baltimore. Flavorful, high quality ingredients with a side of thick-cut fries. Everyone is very friendly to each other, and the service is great. Clean restrooms and interiors, mostly indoor seating including bar seating, some outdoor seating.

    Stopped into Penny Black with a friend during a work trip and instantly loved the vibe. It was…read morefreezing, windy, and right on the water so we both ordered the hot rum cider, which was exactly what we needed. Cozy, warming, and delicious. Two ciders ran us about $20, which felt reasonable for the setting and quality. We stopped in twice because we really wanted to try the bacon-wrapped goat cheese jalapeño poppers. The first time we weren't hungry enough, so we made a point to come back later and I'm glad we did. They were excellent. Not a huge portion, but it's an appetizer and felt appropriate. They were rich and well balanced, definitely a fork-and-knife situation, and worth the ~$14. The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal here. Tons of dark wood, historic character, and that old-Baltimore charm that makes you feel like the place has stories. It's warm and inviting. Perfect stop for drinks and a snack, especially on a cold day by the water. I'd absolutely go back if only for another hot rum cider and those poppers again.
