The Brewer’s Art is located in the artsy Mount Vernon district of Baltimore, several blocks West of the Inner Harbor, but within walking distance. The bar area is small but very comfortable with couches, Victorian-era chairs at small tea tables, and counter seating. The dinner area is further in and offers white table cloth dining, with a short, yet thoughtful and artisan menu. The bar is self-service but the staff do visit the tables occasionally to deliver food or bus your area. There were about 6 house beers available and several in bottles, along with some "guest" bottled selections. This is a nice place and definitely worth your time when you are in the Baltimore area.

Pretty sure I’ve rated this place now 2 or 3 times and it keeps disappearing. Ambiance is 5/5- very cool fancy decor but casual attire is fine. Upon walking in, there is a nice Rococo style, mirrored bar with a ton of house beer taps and 750mL c&c house beers for sale. Just about all the beers they make will be on at this front bar with a good amount of rotation. Expect the beers to be different week to week. It gets pretty busy here so if you can grab a couch or seat in this front bar- go for it! You can order food here too. This is the way to go in my opinion. If you want to eat in the sit-down dining room; you’ll need to put your name in and there is usually a wait. The wait can be 45min-1hr+ so be prepared. The food in the main dining room is exquisite...pricey but usually worth it. I always have a very impressive meal with good portions. Ambiance in the dining room is excellent. Beer prices are fair compared to the food. Remember you only get their house beers. Fortunately, their own beers are quite good. Some are decent but every now and then Brewer’s Art scores a home run.

Really interesting vibe, almost peeling white paint and dark wood furniture that creak when sat on. Small tap list, bartenders know them all well. Price is rather high for food but the meals are excellent, and the beer isn’t as expensive. Servers very friendly. Cool vibe, atmosphere, experience.

Very dark, interesting ambiance. Hard to read the menus. Went for food, but by the time we got there the kitchen was closed so we went to the basement. The beers we had weren’t very good so we drank them and went back to Maxs.

(Visited 01/2011 and again the following month): Brewer’s Art is in the north side of downtown Baltimore on N. Charles street. Metered parking is pretty prevalent in all directions and there are garages here and there. The brewpub is situated in a pretty row of houses that have to be a century old. There are different areas including a parlor and restaurant-style seating area, but my visits were in the bar downstairs. It is dark and has a stone wine cellar feel and features nooks and cozies and there is a small wraparound bar up at the front. There is a board listing what beers are on tap. As for the beers available, the brewpub features 6 draught offerings, and has a sampler. The beers available on my visit were Ozzy, Resurrection, Capricorn, Cerberus, La Patroleuse, and Proletory Ale. All of the beers are well-executed. They also have a couple in bottles to take home (Peppercorn Tripel on one of my visits). Bartender service on both my visits has been on point. One of the tenders was a wise-ass and asked me if I was ready for "a full beer" after my sampler, which got a laugh out of our group. Food at Brewer’s Art (at least the small plates and appetizers we tried) are good. Overall this place is a must-visit in Baltimore.

Ambiance: Beautiful old row house built in 1901 (I think), with lots of amazing architectural details everywhere. Upstairs bar area is small but cozy, and the dining room is comfortable, generously-spaced, and quiet (early in the evening). Service: Go early, before it gets packed. Bar servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the house beers. Dining room staff are attentive and friendly without being clingy. Food and drink comes perfectly paced. Selection: Great (if smallish) selection of BA beers on a rotating tap. The guest beer menu is not huge, but is wonderfully representative of styles and countries, and most selections are the best of their type. Also, six-packs to go? An awesome touch. We carried out a brown bag of beer that the waitress delivered at the end of the meal. It was even chilled. Food: Incredibly delicious. Over the course of several hours, wife and I had: mac & cheese appetizer, pork belly appetizer (WOW), smoked ham flatbread, steak frites (her), lamb chops (me), chocolate peanut butter pie, and homemade butterscotch pudding (this is a MUST HAVE). It was all very, very good. Value: Surprisingly reasonable for how good it all was. Overall: If you’re in Baltimore, this place is an absolute must. What a great time.

Small selection of excellent beers in a neat space. The food is excellent and I’ve never had a bad meal there. Fun to sit among the tight crowded upstairs bar and watch passers by on the sidewalk, or nestle into a dark corner in the basement and enjoy quiet conversation over delicious small plates. Bartenders know the beer and can make solid suggestions from the well chosen bottle list. I hate that they’re not open for lunch, which means I hardly ever get there. Given the quality of the food, the prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a pain.

Went there after Max’s which was not probably fair. Great restaurant, had a delicious dinner in a very nice setting, tried the sampler which was pretty good. The basement bar was interesting.

If your new to Brewer’s Art I would try Resurrection. Its one of my favorite beers. But watch out it will creep up on you.

Stopped in on a trip to baltimore but they were packed and booked on a sat night ... definitely make a reservation or be forced to find a couch, spot at the bar or table down in the cave downstairs ... great ambiance if you like dark ... the cave is like a dungeon dark with candles .... bought a six pack of resurrection for 10 bucks and a couple big bottles for 10 each and sadly left .... if you plan on going plan ahead!
