Smallish place on brewer’s hill. Nice selection of Stillwater, Evil Twin and other stuff. Food is good. Definitely worth a stop on any Baltimore pub crawl.

Awesome place that Brian opened in Brewer’s Hill across the street from the old Natty Boh brewery. The menu will soon change to add more variety, but the food is very good, artisinal just like the beers poured. The staff is quite knowledgeable and friendly, and Brian is around as long as he is not gypsy brewing elsewhere in the world.

Very cool place enjoyed in the company of biggirlpanties, EricE, BrainLair, MrChopin. Ambiance is excellent- smaller, not cramped, no gaudy decor. Very simple exposed brick, nice lighting, wide tables and bars. You sit and drink communally. Service was top notch, quick, attentive, friendly. Tap list is large, featuring a good mix of beers. About 1/3 house beers from Stillwater, and 2/3 Belgian and German beers. Also had Victory Braumeister Pils on tap- a world class, hard to find Czech style pils. Food was excellent, not too expensive, came out quickly. Burgers on the croissants were delicious and the sous vide steak frites were out of this world. Really loved this place. Bottle list was smaller but well thought out though pricey. BA Cellar Door and BA Folklore 750s were $35. Most taps were $7-8. Best deal was $18 32oz pitchers of Stillwater Premium. Unfortunately no pitchers were allowed of Table Beer, which seems like an oxymoron. Between Stillwater Premium and Table Beer on tap, this is already a top beer place for me. Both were outstanding.

In an older, somewhat dingy, but obviously gentrifying area of town - small, sparsely decorated, but homey pub - a bit cramped for my tastes, as I like s pub where I can stretch out and read a book, but cozy enough - low lighting, dark hardwood, hip music playing at a moderate volume - quite a mix in the crowd of patrons, from young hipsters, to 30 something yuppies, to aging business types - small but creative menu with unique twists on some standard staples - sadly, I did not get to try the food because I had just gourged myself on crab cakes downtown and then pounded a few pints at Max’s beforehand - 20 beer taps, plus two draft wines - the majority of brews were from Stillwater (a mix of the standards and quite a few specialty brews), plus a few Evil Twin beers (for obvious reasons), as well as a handful of well selected locals and imports (Schlenkerla Fastenbier, fuck yea!) - small but well-selected bottle list as well, comprised mostly of imports - prices on the brews are rather high (from 7-9 bucks), which I would normally complain about, but given the quality of what you are getting, I will not bitch - however, that does make this more of a special occasion spot than a regular watering hole (for a guy like me, anyway) - servers were attentive, despite how busy they were, and, more importantly, they were very knowledgeable about the beers they were serving - certainly a must stop in Baltimore and, compared to the other places I have been in this town over the years, probably the best beer spot in town - if you are in (or even near) Baltimore, make a point to try to stop here.

Narrow place with two floors and too few tables packed in. Only annoyance was that it was too crowded, but I can’t blame them for coming. The beer list has plenty of interest, and not just from a variety of Stillwaters. We were about to give up on finally getting a table when one appeared at the last moment. Had a tasty burger; croissant was gimmicky but good ingredients showed through. Impressions: The place is not quite sure how pretentious to be. It will settle down a bit, relax, and get better.

Walked into Of Love & Regret after ten on a Thursday night. Dark and inviting with a lot of dark wood throughout and some framed poster sized Stillwater labels on the wall. Not a huge crowd at that time of night so we sat at the bar and perused the menus. Turns out we had missed the kitchen being open, and not by much, but the menu did look nice. Current menus are available on their website, but the majority of it was sort of classed up pub fare with a gastro pub twist, featuring starters like mac & cheese with smoked pork butt, duck tongues, beef tartare, crispy pig ears and moving into entrees such as sou vide steak, chicken two ways, and various fancy burgers and sandwiches. The draft list was the reason to be here however as six of the twenty taps were various Stillwater beers, ranging from the more common stuff like Stateside and Premium, to somewhat harder to find this like Kapoostje, As Follows, and the Mikkeller collaboration. The remaining taps ran a gamut from Anderson Valley, Victory, and Smuttynose to more obscure beers from Evil Twin and The Perfect Crime. Prices on pours do come off as a touch high with some of 10 ounce pours coming in between $7-9, but pints of the less rare things (Victory Braumeister, Schneider Original) were $6-7 which is fairly common now. There are also some Stillwater bottles on the menu, including some hard to come by things, but prices seemed a bit high for me. Service was excellent and the bartender while we were there (Ryan) was incredible. As it was relatively slow he had plenty of time to chat about beer and that man is quite knowledgeable and very passionate. Overall a great experience and I’d certainly stop in again the next time I’m in Baltimore.

neat building. exposed brick, dark wood tables, stillwater posters, some other random garbage. about 11 stillwater beers on tap. food was pretty good. laid back atmosphere. some talking heads music playing. nice place. would return for sure.

Located in an old part of town, just half a block away from National Brewing building. Not fancy, but artisinal and cozy. Nice, long (60’ - 75’) bar made of a nice cut of wood, possibly oak. The staff is attentive, friendly and fast. Lots of ceiling fans. One television, but it is turned off... and there are lots of baseball and some basketball games on at the moment, so, no, it’s not a sports bar in the least. Probably use the TV for special movies and stuff like that. The selection of beer is terrific... mostly Stillwater, but some other interesting stuff as well. The appetizers are great, but I didn’t order a meal, so I can’t comment on that. Highly recommended.

Been here a couple times already within opening weeks. Highlights include: knowledgeable, connected staff led by Ryan; more Stillwater beers than your wallet can afford ticking; awesome, varied guest taps like Braumeister, Schlenkerla (quality lagers are appreciated here!); and a diverse, inexpensive bottle list including lambics to Stillwater rarities. Best burgers, fantastic apps. The real deal is the $18 36oz pitchers of select Stillwater beers. Location only mediocre, outskirts of town, but only a minute from I95. Bit cramped table-wise. Service is cheery but definitely on the slow side.

Baltimore’s #2 spot.. A fairer, less-hipster version of Philly’s Farmer’s Cabinet with no gaudy make-up. Won’t compete with Max’s for service, crowds, taplist size, or events, but taplist is possibly more diverse, and on average definitely highest quality in the city. I rarely give 15/15 for selection. On average the best tap list I’ve ever seen, the exact opposite of a place like Akkurat where all the wealth is in the bottles. If the second and third floor open up as planned, this will be the best US spot I’ve ever been to.

Unfortunately the food has changed here. Beer is still great, but previous chef has moved on.. no more duck fat, tartare, pigs ears, duck tongue.. Sad.

Of Love and Regret left me feeling conflicted. The place itself is beautiful, the taps wonderfully set into a old beam, the staff clearly know their onions and the selection is a cut above many places with far more taps, but here’s my beef, $9 for a 12oz pour of a 5% beer? If price isn’t a issue for you then I would heartily recommend Of Love and Regret.
