    A nice, small bar with reasonably priced food and drinks. Really close to local bars and scenes (Fells Point, Fed Hill, Inner Harbor, etc.). Great for a quick bite/drink, or to kick-start your weekend

    Little dead right now for Thursday 8pm. Loaded with local beers, which is awesome. Says it's one of Baltimore's largest patio bars. Hotel guests get a free appetizer with purchase of two entrees.

    Cheap drinks and the reasonably priced food that is absolutely delicious! Either the smothered and covered chicken or the pulled beef are the best choices.

    Brisket sandwich & salad sure hit the spot after traveling 4 hours! Bartender / waiter was very personable and attentive. I'll be back!

    Brisket Sandwich was pretty great! Sorry to find out the Crepery is no long open, they have a"Key West Island Bar" which looks to be pretty happening.

    Overall nice little place. Food was tasty and service during the lunch rush was up to snuff. The Guinness was a bit on the pricier side for a pint but you are downtown so I guess that's expected.

    One of the only places to sit outside for happy hour in Downtown Baltimore proper. Luckily, it's a great place!

    Try the Willy Wampom- perfect amount of chili on the burger. The crab cake sandwich is also killer. Great personality from the staff. Friendly place.

    Food was good. Bartender was incredibly slow. Had several@l groups of people come in while I was there, stay a while and then walk out because they never got served.

    The service here was poor and slow. The male bartender with the lip ring was insufferable. He alone will be the reason I will never return. Food was mediocre, take your time and find a better place.

    Liquor cost must be good bc my martini was watered down. I always get a Goose martini wherever I go. This place is pathetic.

    It also takes 40 minutes for microwaveable buffalo chicken dip to come out when there is 4 other people in the whole restaurant.

    Cool enough bar. However, a $7 pint on a slow Sunday is over priced in my opinion. Lower the price, fuller bar. IMO
