Welcoming and friendly even when I tried to order at the bar instead going to the place at the end to order as the sign clearly states. Sorry I was born in Wisconsin. The wood fired Meat Lovers Pizza was tasty and enough for two. We had a pretzel order and the mustard was spot on. Our beer choice was Stringray Mysterio a very good stout. Also myself the navigator needed and wanted a Mead. So Pina Colada Crush was a perfect choice. We both loved the decor and vibes. The pizza oven which was a crab design was cute but I thanked the men preparing the outstanding pizza. All the staff were fantastic.

The Bee Sting Pizza complete with goat cheese, jalapenos and a hot honey drizzle hit the spot on a rainy Baltimore day.

It's what you do1 and this led to me discovering just how much of a certifiable beer haven Max's is! For a Philly comparison I'd put Max's on the same caliber as Glory Beer Bar and Kitchen but with a beer bible on the same scale as Monk's. It's been a beer haven for going on four decades and it shows with their 100+ rotating taps, 1000+ bottles & cans, a 4 casks that feature plenty of local Baltimore brews alongside the finest from Belgium, Germany, and then some! They even have seasonal special events like a Sour Beer Fest in June, and a Rare & Obscure Beer Weekend in October. 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. For food being so close to the waterfront had me craving some seafood, and the rockfish sandwich delivered with its Chesapeake seasoning and remoulade dressing. Each day of the week has a beer special at Max's, and Thursday meant that I was enjoying a discount on full pint cask pours. I liked that Max's had transparent pricing available for 4 oz to large pours and growlers to go on their menu for each and every draft beer, and the 4 oz pours made it easier to enjoy the 11% abv barleywine beer from a Baltimore brewery that I was curious about without feeling some extra inebriated repercussions during my ghost tour. It was extra details like that which had me really enjoying Max's and dubbing it a must visit for any beer lover visiting Baltimore.

We split a flatbread which was on happy hour special. The dough was perfectly worked, cheese was flavorful, as were the mushrooms on top. The sauce was a bit too sweet, but it didn't interfere with the overall taste of the flatbread which was a win. My Abbey Ale was cold, effervescent, and had a toasted biscuit finish - delicious! The dining room is beautifully appointed, intelligently lit, and the menu has varied options. I'd definitely come back for a full meal. The staff was engaging and friendly, the music was jazzy-hipster in an ambient way, and the downstairs "speakeasy" looks like the place I want to be on a Friday night with some friends. Check this place out, you'll be glad you did.

Before our flight home, we came here with a reservation so we could grab a meal before heading to…read morethe airport. When we arrived, we were seated right away, but it seemed like there were very few staff working--possibly only one waiter. It took about 10 minutes before we finally had to flag him down just to place our order. The food then took around 25-30 minutes to come out, which felt very long since we were on a tight schedule for our flight. When the food finally arrived, I ordered the macaroni and cheese, and unfortunately it was the worst mac and cheese I've ever had. I don't want to be mean, but it was very bland and really needed salt. My sister surprisingly liked it, but it just wasn't for me at all. The rest of my family did enjoy their meals, and I thought the fries were decent, just lightly seasoned. My mom especially liked the grilled cheese. The waiter himself was nice and kept our drinks refilled, so I don't think the long wait was entirely his fault. The restaurant is very cute inside with cozy, old-style vibes and festive Christmas decorations, which I really liked. However, between the long wait times, the limited menu, and my disappointing mac and cheese, I wouldn't recommend that dish. Overall, it's a charming place, but the service was too slow for us--especially when trying to catch a flight.

While in Baltimore, one of the side quests I went on was to figure out what its best brewery. And…read morewhen it comes to beer, service, ambiance, food, and things to do outside of drinking good beer, Peabody Heights is the brewery that checked off all of those boxes and then some! For ambiance, Peabody Heights is located in the old location of Oriole Park, and it plays to that history perfectly by having a mural dedicated to baseball players of the Orioles past. The main space is also HUGE, featuring tables of varying group size, two bar areas, an outdoor courtyard featuring their own food truck, a private party area, and even more that I'll feature in the fun section!. For beers, I was enjoying IPAs, pilsners, lagers, porters, stouts, and then some. I even had a sour beer that was a vibrant blue color!But them being partnered with Charm City directly across the street meant that I was also enjoying damn good meads, and they also had good cocktails and NA options. The food truck banged out Asian American fusion comfort food that you could order from either your phone or an indoor tablet with ease. And my shrimp scallion pancakes and Korean corn dog were absolute bangers! For fun, Peabody has not one but TWO awesome arcade spaces. The first one I entered was a huge and satisfying PINBALL ALERT, and I happily spent all the cash I was carrying playing the Quest and Pokemon pinball tables. But when I pulled back the last door I walked through around last call, I was also absolutely blown away by their HUGE arcade room that featured any kind of arcade game imaginable (shooting, fighting, car racing, MORE pinball, etc) and a second bar space. Toss in stellar service and a great selection of takeaway beers and mead, and Peabody Heights is well worth the visit!

What a fun brewery!…read more My brother had a birthday gathering here this year - we were able to comfortably seat a group of 15-20 people in the outdoor picnic section area. Highly recommend this spot for groups looking for a place to gather and socialize. The space is deceivingly large; there are multiple indoor spaces all within a quick stride from a long bar with dozens of beer taps. The outdoor space is even larger than what's available indoors; their vast street level patio/deck space is full of picnic tables and benches that are perfect for larger groups when the weather is nice. And yes, their outdoor patio is pet friendly. While the brewery itself doesn't serve food, there was a food truck (that looked to be there quite often) set up in the outdoor area that had several good options. I had their burger and fries which was exactly what I needed after an afternoon of brews. The beer itself was tasty; I had several of their hazy IPA's which I've grown to enjoy. They also offer a very solid selection of N/A beer options; some of the folks in our group enjoyed them and gave them great reviews. I didn't get a chance to check out the arcade portion of the brewery, but yes, this is a barcade as well. If you're looking for an inclusive, energetic brewery to check out, definitely keep Peabody on your list.

A whole group of us came on a Saturday at 2PM. For a Saturday in July, it was not busy at all! I…read moreguess the nightlife gets busier. The weather was beautiful. Sunny, breezy. In the barn portion, a real nice breeze kept coming through. I believe there are two bars and one food station. I ended up using only the bar in the barn as it was more convenient. Very quick service. I can't get over how the bar literally MOVES. It gave me a little motion sickness just looking at it. I feel like it's trippy, especially for those who choose to drink. They have a fridge with nonalcoholic drinks. Sprite, coke, Diet Coke, sugar cane orange soda, sugar cane black cherry soda, etc... It was not difficult to find a table at all. There were big round tables that could fit 8-10, long rectangular tables that could fit 8, and smaller tables that fit a couple. You cannot bring outdoor food or drinks! However, we talked to staff and our small cake was okay because it was a sweet. Food was better than I expected. I truly expected mediocre bar food. We ordered online but expected them to text or call when it was ready. We waited for over 30 minutes.. probably because we got caught chatting with family. No call or text. But when we explained the situation, the food was ready and it was HOT! Rayroni pizza 7/10: I wish it were a bit spicier with the hot honey but it was definitely sweet and delicious Cheesesteak egg rolls with chipotle sauce 10/10: If you only buy one thing from this place, let it be this! So crispy and crunchy. Perfect snack !! Pretzel bites with mustard and cheese 8/10: Mustard was meh but maybe that's because I'm not a mustard fan. Cheese didn't taste cheap and had a decent color. Like it wasn't a bright yellow or orange that was suspicious or anything. The pretzel bites themselves weren't too hard or soft. Last but not least, the sugar cane sodas were okay. I feel like they didn't have as much fizziness as your normal sprite or coke. I would absolutely come here again. Good vibes. It didn't leave me feeling hot and sweaty like a club. Coming back with some friends!

Only weird thing about the bar was the bartender seemed kind of annoyed at everyone. We were able to grab a table and chairs outside but this is a good spot to bring chairs and a blanket just in case you can't find seats. There are rules about no outside food, no dogs, and keeping kids close - so it's a good idea to make sure you know all of this before visiting!

It's a really fun atmosphere, especially if you're going with a group! I came with four friends and we ordered the Bavarian pretzel and Caesar salad, which were both really good. I also got the Apricot Sour, and it was AMAZING! It's hard to find a really good sour, and this one definitely did not disappoint. My friends all tried different selections, and everyone enjoyed their drinks. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because there was a little confusion with the service. When you sit inside, you're told you can order through a waitress or online. Our waitress came over once but didn't come back, so we ended up ordering online. One of my friends ordered four half beers so she could make her own flight. When the beers came out, the waitress told us that you could only have two beers in front of you at a time. We were confused because this wasn't mentioned when we ordered or stated in the ordering app. We asked about it, but weren't really given an explanation beyond that we couldn't have more than two at a time. It was a little frustrating since we had already placed the order and she brought all four beers. After that, the waitress didn't come back, so we continued ordering online. Overall, though, we had a really nice time and I would definitely come back! The brewery itself is beautiful, there are tons of drink options, the food was good, and the Apricot Sour was one of my favorites. I just wish the ordering rules and expectations had been communicated more clearly from the beginning.

So in this season of yes, I accepted a date and he went all out! He picked me up and off we went on a small road trip to BMore! When I asked what we were doing, he said it was a surprise. When we got to Guinness Open Gate I was in shock that I had never seen this place and to be honest, never heard of it. It's huge! It's fun! And it's seriously a great place to do a first date like we did! We did brunch, which we will talk about below! But we also didn't want our date to end and went on the lawn and ordered finger foods just to sit and talk afterwards. There was a baby shower going on and it was super packed but we were able to find space on the lawn and chat. Meeting new people is great and within one date for me I know if I like you enough for date two or if a friendship is where it ends. Although this date ended here, I'm super appreciative of time given and the good meal! I'll be back just not with him, not in the business of wasting peoples time. Let's get into it! Oysters - I'm slowly learning to like slimy oysters. While not a fan these were yummy! Waffle - I enjoyed! Wings - Yummy! The brunch menu is limited and I wouldn't come here for brunch again but I would come back for game nights during their dinner menu! Apparently there is a seafood tower they can make but he wasn't able to order it. I didn't see it on the menu but the waiter seemed to know what it was. Definitely a chill spot! Beer drinkers this is your haven!

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.
