This is such a neat place! The building is old and has great charm. The staff was really friendly, good beers on tap, and really good food. The smoked wings are SO GOOD! I had them with the beer cheese and bacon tots...also soooo good. Both sauces (the beer cheese and the Granite run buffalo garlic sauce) are thinner sauces - really delicious! I note their consistency because on the tots it doesn't look like cheese sauce, but it soaks them and is lighter (and better, in my opinion) than traditional cheese sauces. The cheese sauce also has old bay in it! The smash burger and fries were also pretty tasty!

Good food, great staff, and a nice location in historic Port Deposit. They have specials, a rotating beer selection, and live music. This place is worth a visit (or two)!

This place was really adorable and the food was excellent. We ordered a Blueberry Lemon Mocktail with Tito's and a dark beer. The beer was a cherry chocolate flavor but, was a little too tart for my taste. It was a good beer but I prefer Gulden Draak. We ordered the Mac burger and got bacon jam on the side. All I can say for the burger is...YUM! We also ordered the fried avocado BLT. We ate every morsel. We had a strawberry cheesecake with homemade strawberry syrup...incredible. This place is worth even the out of the way stop, for their awesome mixed drinks and food. The service was super quick and very friendly. Of course, we had to buy the t-shirt!

Great local place to grab a meal and a drink. Good selection of beers here that change up every week. Taco Tuesday is a must as they have 5 margaritas and a different taco selection each Tuesday. Staff is friendly and always helpful. Can't wait to come back!

We pulled up in town about 530 or 6 and there was nobody anywhere. The place looked like a ghost town. The pub was the only place I saw people and I now know why. My family was staying at the great wolf lodge and we decided to venture out to do something else for dinner, this place looked promising and it was. Upon opening the door we were greeted with super friendly staff and the place was pretty busy for a Monday. I counted two wait staff and one of those was the bar, so I gave slack here on the time it took to get food and such. They were very accommodating for our family and the several large groups that were present that evening. The cream of Crab soup was the most disappointing thing that we had, but it was still good. The burger of the month (apple burger) was perhaps the best burger I've ever eaten. The pretzel was delectable and the spread/dip for it was phenomenal. Certainly check it out if you are anywhere nearby.

It started out as a poor experience until I realized the bartender was working by herself and killing it. She had some of her friend helping her and made the experience amazing. The cheesesteak was unreal. What a great experience love this place will definitely return for the food and drink. Lisa is amazing asked for her she is awesome.
