    Caprese sandwich
    Vinh N.

    A very small hidden bar in what looks like an office building. I think only 30 people can really fit in this spot which made the presence of two bartenders surprising. They also have a kitchen that opens late, and I think this is shared by the comedy club next door. The bartenders are very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I wouldn't call this a dive bar but it definitely caters to a working class crowd. They do have a good selection of microbrews and imports. I didn't see too many cocktails being made but the customers did not linger here more than two drinks even in the late hour.

    What a fabulous find! This place is a must try. It is connected to a comedy club (Magooby's Joke House). There's plenty of parking. If you park on the upper side there are extremely steep steps. Park on the same side as the post office/entrance to the comedy club and there are no steps. There is an outside seating area as well. The inside has moody vibes and says speakeasy but out in the open. The inside isn't large, but comfortable with seating at the bar and several high tops. There are a gazillion bourbons and they even have flights. There's also a fully stocked bar for any drink you want. They have 2 beers on tap and tons of bottle/can options. However, I strongly encourage you to try the cocktails. These are elevated cocktails in the sense that the combination of liquors and mixers really make great pairings. The side car was great. We also tried the Naughty and Nice (perfect blend of spice and sweet), Port of Manhattan (the addition of the port takes this classic to the next level), and the Corpse Reviver #2 which was our absolute surprisingly favorite. The glass is washed with absinthe (see photo). Not only was it super cool to see, but the after taste after each sip was amazing with this addition to the drink. We are not gin drinkers but this was delicious! Venture off of your normal order and explore these incredible crafty and well thought out cocktails that you will thoroughly enjoy and appreciate for the art that they are. The menu was very good as well. The chorizo queso was delicious and the German Sausage Platter was tasty. The portions were good. People around us ordered burgers that were generously portioned with all the fixings. They have lots of specials like burger of the month, Wednesdays are burger night (half price) and the drinks are so reasonably priced! The service was immediate and constant throughout our entire visit. Very friendly and eager to make your experience enjoyable. Seriously, venture out to this place and have some terrific drinks and food. You will want to tell everyone about it! Such a great vibe and atmosphere, as well as a great value!!

    Talk about choices!

    Small gem indeed! Justin whips up one hell of a cocktail and is really personable to boot. Swung by here with my twin sis and another friend after a night of delayed flights and unpacking. Extensive bourbon list, I went with the Old Fashioned Wit and it did not disappoint. Sister had the lemon drop and she also said her drink was very good! Cute little outside area, I could see myself coming back with some of my cigar connoisseur friends to enjoy the breeze and a beverage. It's tucked away in what kinda looks like an office building, so if you blink you might miss it! We stopped in very late so the kitchen was closed, but I just might have to stop by to try the food before I head back to Texas.

    I wish I could give this place more stars. All I have to say is wow. The food, the place, the drinks, the service is absolutely amazing. I had the orange Cassidy cocktail and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. I also stepped out of my comfort zone and tried the PB&J burger and I think I fell in love lol. Our bartender/server was extremely friendly, attentive, and awesome!!! They have open mic night and comedy shows. Such a good place and I will totally recommend it to everyone!

    Since moving here last Sept. from San Diego we have been trying to find a nice bar that serves good drinks, good food, along with a welcoming atmosphere, to no avail. That is until now! Not only is the place welcoming, but it has a speak easy vibe to it which is something we miss since leaving SD. The drinks are excellent, the appetizers are really good, but the bartenders - Justin and Andre - make it even better. Both are super friendly, it almost felt like we have been coming here for years. Like we were regulars. Justin does not mess around when it comes to his drinks, they are not for the weak. We ordered an old fashion for me, suffering bastard for my husband, and Moscow Mule for our daughter. We agreed they were the best Old Fashion and Mules we have had since moving here. The suffering bastard was no joke either. Thankfully, Justin makes sure to keep you hydrated by keeping your water glass filled at all times. The appetizers we ordered, chorizo queso, Buffalo wings & chicken Cesar salad, were quite tasty and good their portions were the right amount. We didn't finish it all between the 3 of us as they aren't stingy. The joke house is attached to the bar so the attendees come to drink after the show ends as well so it can get a bit loud but it's for a short period. They do have the patio area that has music playing outside as well as inside so that's a nice option when weather permits. They do have comedians perform T&Th for open mic night and other special comic nights so definitely check their website to see all they have to offer. It's a great place! All in all, we loved it, we recommend it, and rate it 5/5 or 10 out of 10 stars. We will definitely be frequenting this speak easy vibe bar often.

    Came here with BF for drinks before we went to a show at Magooby's. If you're going here for a show they're literally connected so you don't have very far to go. BF likes to try different scotches/whiskeys so when I found this place I knew I had to take him. He got a scotch and I got a bourbon. Prices ranged from fairly cheap ($6) to more expensive (I saw some up to around $40) They have a huge selection. They also have beer and a cocktail menu. The bar is very small but it feels cozy and intimate. We didn't get any food but they do have a small food menu. I decided I'm not really a bourbon person but I'm glad I got a chance to take BF there. It's definitely a once in awhile kind of place because we ended up dropping $30 on two drinks including tips.

    So we stopped here before going to Magooby's Joke House. (that's another review in its own) This place is small but has a cool vibe. I'm not a whiskey person so I probably can't appreciate it's true calling. Their happy hour specials were pretty good; $1.75 for any drink, but considering I drink Miller lite that's not a great deal. The bartenders were very inattentive and more interested in talking to each other and their phones. When I told the one girl the beers were warm; which she had a miller lite in her hand to give to someone else, she just looked at me and handed it off to the guy and gave me another. I had to get a glass of ice to make it somewhat cold. It's a good place to stop if you're going to the show but I wouldn't hang out here.

    Mmm yes peat me.

    Seasoned comics drink properly when they have cashflow, and the pickings at this "saloon" reflect that. Good spread of generic and chic hard liquors, fewer options for fermentation fans. Service is friendly, moderately attentive, and most importantly-- capable of a gentleman's pour. A couple outlets under the wall ledge by the door leading to the Joke House next door. Decor is kind of all over the place: vintage racist advert, Spinal Tap poster, trivia night announcements. I'm sure the happy hour specials make it as good a pre-game option as a post-show wind down for a night of comedy at Magooby's. Discounted round with an exit ticket was a bonus when they're already cheaper than DC.

    A Facebook friend who I actually have met in person was having a comedy show. I like to laugh(who doesn't?) so I opted to check it out. It's in a business park and it's around the side of Magoobys Joke House. It reminds me of a college bar, but with grown ups. The bartender is pretty affable and it's very clean. There's a sign that says it's a bourbon bar and they have all of my faves so it pretty much is what it aims to be, a bar to drink bourbon and maybe listen to a few comics work out some new material. Any way you slice it, it's worth a looksee. Drop in and have aa half-off drink and hear a couple jokes on Tuesday's.

I opted to be seated at the bar for this visit as well. The bartender was not as pleasant as my entrance experience and previous visit; however he was attentive. We ordered drinks and then proceeded witj our food ordering once we received our drinks. We ordered Expresso Martini and Reposado Old Fashioned. The drinks are amazing and 5*. We ordered our food Oversized burger and Pan Seared scallops over brussel sprouts. Our food came out hot and within reasonable time. The burger is NOT an oversized burger. Regular sized and the descriptive name is deceiving. The burger option was not anything to speak on as it was not to satisfaction but quelled the hunger moment. It was over cooked. The pan seared scallops came out with a strong "fishy" smell. They however were tasty and spicy. This was a small plate as it was only 3 scallops in total. Other then the strong "fishy"smell, they were tasty. We then ordered a limoncello and was of course satisfied as it was another great tasting drink.

I loved the space created for the event and I appreciated the warmth from the heat lamps. Service was great. The bartenders were excellent. The drinks were delicious (I had the Blackberry Bourbon Smash and the Cider Margarita and I think the margarita was my favorite of the two). I gave 3 stars because of the food. I was overwhelmed with the taste of the selection. I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and the pulled pork sliders the best. The Greek pasta salad and the pretzels weren't too bad. The chicken tenders needed salt in the cooking process because they were bland and the honey mustard didn't do any favors. The crab dip was disappointing. I've had their crab dip before and I liked it but this time, it just tasted off. I feel like I tasted more cream cheese than crab. For this shindig, the drinks were the clear winner. The food was basically there to soak up the liquor because I didn't enjoy it. I wanted to love it but my taste buds were very sad.

Fouler than foul is the never cleaned men's bathroom. Foolish are those who venture into the land of prepared food.

It is often frequented by many "horse people", those that work or own stables ( often from Irish decent ) and a few other regular characters. Don't let the vapid surrounding areas of Owings Mills, Huntvalley, and the communities of north Falls Rd dissuade you, the Worthington is its own deal and has not yet traded its soul to Ikea and TGI Fridays. This place is the only worthwhile drinking establishment anywhere between Baltimore, Towson and the PA line, a great place to get away from Baltimore for a night, awesome in the summer and fall when they open the doors too the country sounds and smells. The Worthington has two pool tables a good internet jukebox and the patrons understand the value of drinking to a good tune. This last point can not be over emphasized, I have drank many and much throughout too much of the country that has completely forgot what the combination of a song and a drink can do to ones demeanor. Heading up or down Falls I have never run into Johnny Law lying in wait to harsh anyone's mellow, but I have heard he has his time of the month. I am surprised that more Bmore folks don't get out to this place more often. The frozen pizzas for some reason are extremely good, although usually too hot to eat for at least a drink or two, still well worth the wait. It would be awesome if they had some sort of open mic night or something, but there was nothing like that last time I was there.

First, the food quality has declined compared to my previous visits over the years. I have been a loyal customer for a long time, and what I received was not consistent with how the dish has been prepared before. When I politely asked the server (Katie) to take the plate back because it was not as expected, she became upset and responded in an unprofessional manner. She questioned what was wrong and stated that the dish would come out of her check. I calmly explained that I have been coming here for many years and that the preparation was different from before. Her response was inappropriate--she mentioned that "Mr. Papas died in November," which I found disrespectful and unnecessary. Regardless of any internal changes, this is not something that should be communicated to a customer in that manner. I then asked to speak with a manager and explained the situation. Unfortunately, the server continued to behave rudely while I was addressing the issue. This experience did not reflect professionalism, respect for customers, or the standards I had come to expect from your establishment. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve both service and customer experience moving forward.
