    Five stars times five. Absolute gem of a place. We had wonderful rockfish and a solid roast beef platter. But what really stood out was the absolute grace of our bartender on an abruptly busy Saturday night. If I had a smile like that maybe my life would have turned out differentm

    Great little bar with amazing food and large, cold beer. Bar staff are super friendly crab cakes are very good. Reminds me a little of Cheers with a lot of local regulars that keep coming back for the food and the great service.

    A gem of a find right around the corner from our hotel. Local place with a friendly greeting as we walked in the door. We arrived at the menu time change from Breakfast to lunch so that gave us plenty of options. I went for the lunch, grilled chicken sandwich while my colleague went for the breakfast options. We were both satisfied with our choices!

    Today I stopped by Peter’s unexpectedly for breakfast. I was greeted by the cook. He was welcoming and polite with me. The restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast on Wednesday, however, the cook stated that he would prepare breakfast for me. I ordered an egg and cheese on Texas toast with breakfast fries. Let me tell you about this sandwich! The bread was buttered to perfection! My eggs had cheese oozing out of it. I felt like this sandwich was made in my house😂 the home fries were delicious with onions cooked throughout. The owner let me know that if I want breakfast on any day, just give them a call and they’ll prepare it for me. I can honestly say, the customer service and food is excellent! I will definitely be back again for breakfast! Thank you!

    I visited the restaurant for the first time really late. And was impressed by Hannah's high energy and even more by her description of the crabcake served by this fine dining establishment. I had to return and see for myself. And I was not disappointed. The sandwich came on the freshest of potato rolls and was garnished with a ripe red tomato slice and crisp iceberg lettuce. I will share a photo. And when I sampled the cake...Paragon of excellence! It was all I could do not to eat it solo. And the ambiance is great! Visit and experience the celebration of Maryland at its best.

    Across the street from Springfield Suites. Great atmosphere while watching the game or after going to the game. Busy place. Staff friendly. Food was great. I got the California burger while my sons got bbq wings and nachos. Good portions and great taste. We will be back.

    The food tasted good and special instructions were followed perfectly. The server/bartender Marcy was helpful and upbeat and gave me a big cup of lemonade. The food took a while to come out but I appreciated that they gave me just a piece of chicken breast with bbq sauce and a half cup of the chowder instead of a full cup due to a dietary restriction, and the old bay fries hit the spot. Definitely a cool place for locals but also for tourists to stop in and grab a drink and listen to music.

    Lovely hidden pub. I arrived early on a Thursday morning for drinks and lunch after travel. The staff were friendly, and really funny. I had the burger which the cook brought out himself. Plenty of locals showed up closer to noon and I felt right at home with the locals.

    Peter's Pour House is fantastic. Tremendous food, excellent beer choices, and great atmosphere Hannah and the staff rock the house and do a superb job. I was there with a large group for my daughter's lacrosse team. They took care of us with impeccable skill. Whenever I get back to Baltimore again, eating here will be on my to-do list.

    Had a very late lunch here and grateful they were serving. Service was friendly albeit a bit slow during off hours. Portions very ample, more than we really expected. Salad greens rather wilted, although chicken salad tasty.

    Wings and crab cakes are great! This was our second time here. Our first time was 2 years ago during a conference. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites, and the front desk recommended that we go check this spot out. This time around we are on a road trip, we decided to stay there again just so we can grab some great food from Peter's. Great Beer selection, also awesome specials.

    As an owner of a bar, I hate using the phrase "hole in the wall." My place has been described as such, and it always bothers me. I just don't like the sound of it, like it discounts what the place is. The phrase conjures a certain vibe that is fitting of this spot, though. "Neighborhood bar" is maybe fitting, but I don't want to get lost in semantics. The point is that this place is cool, small, and eccentric. It's hidden down an alleyway, like a "best kept secret" kind of local gem. They have a great, rotating selection of local craft beers and really good food. The building is old and quirky, and the bar is reminiscent of something I would have seen in a movie about Irish cops in Boston, if that makes sense. All in all, I'm glad we chose this as our dinner spot for our first night (of two) in town.

    Came to Baltimore for the Texans / Ravens game. Disappointing game result but I luckily found Peter’s Pour House. Great bartenders. Thanks Caitlin and Hannah! Good local pub. Everyone friendly. Great beer and food was outstanding.

    Good local pub with a friendly bartender. It would be nice if they had a hard cider other than Angry Orchard on tap.

    We're in Baltimore for a volleyball tournament. I stopped at this place for breakfast. It was delicious. House Bloody Mary is a must try. Thank you!

    This place rocks. Staff are amazing and the food is excellent. If you like a friendly fun environment non pretentious environment with good beer and great food this is the place for you! Open for food late into the evening too. Carl and team truly care about the quality of your food!

    Inner Harbor is fun and all-- but sometimes you want chill vibes without the high prices or bougie posturing, and those nights are the nights for Peter's. No nonsense and no pretense. Good beer on tap. Solid bar food. I've stayed in this neighborhood multiple times and this is the go-to bar for those times when you just want "a good, no-frills bar."

    Went there for lunch this past Monday to meet up with a friend. Great atmosphere. Good food! Parking was sparse, so I paid $16 to park in a garage nearby. I’ll go to the pub again hoping to find a parking space on the street. Enjoy the place! I ordered the crab cake - delicious.

    Breakfast at a bar? You bet! Carl and Brandie welcomed us to the neighborhood. We had the western omelette with fresh coffee, which exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely have to return for drinks!

  • 5/5 Anna L. 1 year ago on Google
    Attended a conference in the area, and I really wanted to try crab cakes. So glad we came to eat here! The food and drinks were great, and the service was excellent - no dessert, but the owner shared his candy stash, haha. Seems like a loved local spot. Would definitely come back.

    It's a great corner bar. Stiff drinks and a great staff.

  • 3/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    When I asked what was on tap, my question was answered with sarcasm by Hannah. She said, it says it on the other side of the drink menu on the table! SORRY! WE'RE NOT FROM HERE! I would have answered the question with "what flavors we have on tap, and just so you know, they're listed on the other side of the table drink menu"! After receiving our drinks, we placed our food order. I ordered a Ruben and received an open faced corned beef sandwich, not what I ordered. The food.....fantastic, kudos to the kitchen!!!! Hospitality from Hannah? In a not husy atmosphere, should have been far better!!! And, for the record, I've held the same position and been far more hospitable!
