Harry's
Bar
👍👍 Epitome of a neighborhood bar. Probably the most chill bar in all of Baltimore. Harry, the bar tender / owner really knows his stuff and makes great cocktails. He also has his own takes on classics and varies drinks by the season. Bonus, Harry also sells liquor / wine at great prices! Some are ove...

👍 I love how this place is nestled in a cute community. The ambiance is ok, it’s very simple with a nautical theme. We sat by the window so the bartender opened the window for us which was nice. I enjoyed the bottomless option, they serve the table with carafes which I loved! We got to try the mimo...

😠 It depends on who’s bar tending. I was there tonight the girl who was bartending thinks just because she is lesbian for some reason thinks that if you’re not lgbt you’re not welcome. I am regular patron I don’t care what my personal views are but I do expect to be treated with professionalism. I cam...

Blarney Stone Pub
Bar
👍👍 I admit, I'm biased. This place is a dive bar but it's the one Fells Point dive bar I always go back to. The people who work here will remember you and are always good for a fun night out with none of the pretense of some other places. Usually playing rock or punk on the jukebox but plenty of tim...

Hair of the Dog
Bar
👍👍 Hair of the Dog is the best bar in the world. They actually have stickers that they will give you to put on anything you want. We put one on our beer fridge and it's so awesome. The beer tastes better now and I think the sticker may have something to do with it. I'm not a scientist but we're going t...

Bar
👍👍 Surrealistically decorated bar with twinkly coruscating lighting dancing across the mirrored bar and tinned ceiling. Moreover, it's probably, and we've carefully researched this, the sole place in Baltimore to host Honky Tonk, Alt Country, Rockabilly and Roots Rock. The room is much longer than it...

👍👍 My fiancé said he went here. Not sure it exists but he says he took my hot college friend with him. She also seems to remember it fondly. I highly recommend it, if it’s not a figment of their imagination. I’d love to see it.

😠 Never been to a bar where the owner gets drunk and insults their customer. The drunk "owner" got mad that I brought food in the bar (bartender said it was okay before I sat). Then shamed me for buying a Natty Bo. "Really? You're just going to sit there and only drink a $2 beer?" The best part was...

Spirits Tavern
Bar
😠 Regulars are the most condescending people I have ever met at a bar, especially when they lose at pool. They should be cutoff from alcohol earlier than they are. That being said bar staff are polite, and it has food options. Have given this place 3 strikes. Its out.

👍👍 Let me start off by saying I visited this quaint little pub for the first time on 2/25. It's not located in the greatest of neighborhoods but it is well worth the risk of bodily harm to visit. The beer is cold, the bartender was a peach and like a previous reviewer stated, there is even a friendly l...
