super long beerlist, pretty amazing. nice selection of both locals, sierra nevadas and other. the bottle fridge selection looks enormous too. lots of attractive girls here too, which i haven’t seen in the previous couple hours i’ve walked around this city. pretty nice area. music isn’t too loud, but it’s only 5pm, too. the place isn’t packed, but there’s quite a few people. lots of tvs, great atmosphere. people are friendly. bartenders are really nice and helpful too. bartender super helpful. now that i’ve gotten my tab, the guy’s name i bob and i’ve liked him. the tab of $16 is pretty damned good too.

So this is the big destination. The reason to go to Baltimore, or so everyone seems to indicate. Very interesting vibe going on here. Came in around dinner time on a Friday night, and there was a decent sized crowd already, and even bar seating was scarce at that point. Did manage to get a seat at the bar though, so all was well. The taplist was solid, and is kept fairly well up to date online, so there’s not a whole lot of reason for me to attempt to recreate it here, same can be said. Bottle prices were fairly reasonable (bought a bottle of whatever the newest Bon Chien barrel treatment was, saw it a couple days later at a bottle shop for $5 less than I paid at the bar, so I can’t complain about that). Service was fairly good throughout the night (and I was here for a while), but I I did feel bad for the bartenders who I found were not even allowed to taste beers while working. I can’t recall if that was a state thing, or a house rule. Did feel bad though to buy bottles and after I’d offered to share tastes with them, have the bartenders say they’d love to try it but weren’t allowed. Really neat place and I’ll certainly be back the next time we’re in Baltimore.

I FINALLY made it here. And I’m glad I did. Low key atmosphere with a long bar and lots of tables. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. The draft list is impressive and the bottle list is simply intimidating. Prices are solid all around on food and beer. The food was tasty. Parking is a nightmare. Incredible bar.

Dropped by on a Tuesday afternoon - 22/05/12. Pretty busy and free hot snacks available for an hour or so. Great selection, 100 + on tap. Service was good and the bar tenders both knowledgeable and happy to chat and give the odd sample. Right in the heart of the old harbour front tourist area so no excuse not to visit even if you are with your other half!

MD rocks for beer it seems. Here on a Tuesday for dinner by myself and saddled up to the bar. This is a proper American sports and college bar atmosphere with good classic rock, no BS, regulars of beer nerds and locals alike of all ages. What is abnormal is the astounding bottle list. It just gets deeper and deeper like nothing I’ve every seen. Rarities and breadth, aged and curated from brewery after brewer abound. The draft list was not heavily local but was certainly top notch with uncommon kegs, classics, and beers accessible to the breadth of clientele. Prices for everything were very reasonable. The food was excellent pub grub generous portions for a good price. The bar tenders really pushed it over the top. Totally on point, pro and friendly. Nothing more to ask!

Take this rating very lightly... I have been to maxs twice now... both times during the friday of 72 hours of belgium... An awesome selection of belgium beers... some classics...some rares with a lot of bottles available. Not sure what is considered normal since I have never been there during a normal day. But food and service is always good even during the big events... I will have to make it there one "regular" day... but until then, this rating stands
