Cole TJanuary 5, 2019Located in the Belvedere hotel, this spot is bursting with a convivial atmosphere, good beer list and solid food. Gets pretty busy but for good reason. A great spot in Mount Vernon.
Derrick VaughanOctober 11, 2018The Owl Bar is one of those local go to spots. It's only 10 minutes away from the Inner Harbor and The Charm'tastic Mile.
Shmupi KotoSeptember 13, 2013Don't look for it by the address ...it's located inside the Belvedere hotel , try the Sweet baby Jesus on tap...it's amazing !
- The Baltimore SunDecember 9, 2013Baltimore's Best Bars 2013: " The bar located on the Belvedere Hotel’s first floor retains a sense of history that’s easy to feel but difficult to accurately describe." http://bsun.md/1jEnkNx
Didi McElroyDecember 10, 2015A fave old Bmore haunt and a great date night ambience. Best food is the steak and frites or the amazing pizzas- The Baltimore SunDecember 7, 2012Baltimore's Best Bars 2012: "We love the pizza and affordable happy hour prices, but this is a place to savor the rich history and atmosphere." http://bsun.md/UD2xA1
Michael KFebruary 3, 2024Burger is awesome. The crab dip is also great. They make very good drinks and the service is exceptional.
Stephen LegaultSeptember 26, 2014Great pizza! Had one night in Baltimore and I'm glad I came here. Good beers on tap as well.- J McGeeSeptember 17, 2014Great, historic place. It was a surprise find, but an awesome one. Good beer selection, but atmosphere rocks.
David GavinSeptember 27, 2020Half the fun is finding it! Really cool setting to go with a great food and drink menu
Any of the pizzas can be made into its own thin crust version which is amazing. Also not on the menu, "Red Pizza" : pepperoni, sausage, and I believe beef.
Twenty beers on tap and delicious food. Be aware: Owl Bar will not split a check between more than three credit cards.
Now under new ownership the place is seeing a real revival in its level of service and food quality. Check out the awesome paninis and don't forget to get ice cream after dinner.
Be sure to have a sidecar and an Ahi Tuna BLT! You won't be disappointed.
Sean ConnorsJuly 6, 2012Try the yard of beer. Make sure not to break the glass it comes in though, unless you want an additional $125 added to your check.
Great food, drinks, and atmosphere! Come during happy hour!
Feels like you're stepping back in time. Nice atmosphere.
Craig ThompsonFebruary 2, 2014Try the Bloody Mary Bar - Really cool concept and spicy options are good
The portobello fries are incredible. Order extra sauce.
Walk through the lobby of the Belvedere, try to shake the feeling that you are in the Shining, the bar is at the back
Awesome history, great vibe, good food & drink (when they're all stocked up).
New management or not... I still refer to this place as the "Out Bar" as they run out of practically everything. Always have a back up in mind... You'll need it!
Mary H. NahorniakSeptember 30, 2011Classic stop for out-of-town guests. Have them guess the third line of the owl riddle that's on the front wall.
Campbell BirdFebruary 23, 2016Good spot for a draft beer. Food is all right, but portion sizes seem a little small.
- One pizza is enough for two to share, and the blue collar chili is rather large and filling.
Ryan KearneyMarch 19, 2017Don't come for brunch. Heavy metal music. Sour bartender. And they're out of waffles.- They still are incapable of supplying everything they list on the menu - Long Live "The OUT Bar!"
Amar WeismanJanuary 23, 2011This place settles the big question once and for all: the spirit of Vienna is alive in Baltimore proper.
Great historic bar with a terrific "Prohibition" back story.
Caitlin McAteerJune 15, 2013Avoid on Friday night: service drags. Bartenders seem more interested in clustering by the service window & chatting with other staff or watching the Os game. Didn't even ask if I wanted a 2nd drink.
Order yourself a Knob Creek Manhattan or two and make sure to bring lube for when they bend you over to give you the bill.
