While enjoying the Full Stack BA Imperial, the Aftergold Hazy DIPA, a Back in the Groove, and a Burn the Boats APA I celebrated with a packed house of Derby fans who crowded around the TVs and cheered and clinked for a unifying American tradition.

The eclectic menu contains both South American and Bavarian-styled appetizers, sandwiches, salads and flatbreads. It's a great place to relax in the afternoon and evenings; the servers and bartenders are helpful and very friendly. Special events occur on certain nights. The trivia challenge is an especially fun way to spend a Thursday evening. Its location is a bit out of the way ( in the back area of the Princess Shopping Center) but give it a try; it's worth it!

Such a cool hidden gem! Got a beer spa reservation for my husband's bday. He loved it and thought…read moreit was really cool! He felt it was clean and relaxing, he did say the water in the tub was too hot so it was hard to eat or drink. They offer packages that includes "all you can drink" during the hour long spa, but based on my husband's experience, it's better to drink the beers before or after. I waited with the rest of the family by the brewery and was surprised at how empty it was on a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps not many people know about this place? The ambiance was cool, they have lots of board games for kids and adults and a nice selection of drinks. Staff was friendly!

An added bonus was the evening we were there was music trivia. The DJ was personable and the music selection was an eclectic mix that appealed to everyone. I will definitely be back.

I've been visiting this gem often for almost 2 years now…read more Stellar establishment! My favz to date happens to be the Gumbo (Limited Edition), Wings (All Flavors), Salad, Fries, Mocktails, etc. The customer service is always top notch from the hostess at front podium to the super sweet bartenders who are very attentive. The dining room, bar area and restrooms are always super clean !! They have Burger Night on Mondays. $7 Burgers w Handcut Fries, 1/2 Price Wing Night on Wednesdays. That's 8 bucks yall!! They keep a fresh monthly menu that I love !! It's limited edition apps, entrées and beverages !! They have Flavor of the Week Burgers and Wings. They're so creative. I highly recommend this restaurant!!

It's been a bit so this is an update. Came here for dinner about a week ago. I love this place,…read moreit's cozy and like a little hidden gem. Food is always great, as is the service. There were 5 of us, we had the cheese curds (always delicious), tried the crab nachos (surprisingly good) as apps. Ordered the crab soup. I was expecting more of a cream crab soup but that was my fault as it wasn't listed as such and it's a reddish sauce kind of a minestrone with the veggies in it. We ordered shrimp and grits, I was told it was good with a little spice. Two of us ordered the salmon with crab/corn risotto (delicious). Mac and cheese ordered from apps menu, but as meal and the last meal was a pasta chicken dish. Great experience again!

This was a beautiful restaurant and bar with a great open-kitchen concept! We started by splitting…read morean order of deviled eggs and honey habanero wings, and both were delicious. The deviled eggs were deep-fried with a little jalapeño on top--absolutely excellent! The wings were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and had a fantastic flavor with just the right amount of heat. We then split a burger and fries. The burger was a little overdone for my liking, but it still had an amazing flavor. The fries were decent and paired well with the burger. We also each had a cocktail--the Peach Mule and the Key Lime Pie cocktail. Both were refreshing, well-balanced, and a great addition to the meal. Overall, we had a really enjoyable experience and would definitely come back!

We were seated in the main dining area and even though it was busy during lunch it was never loud. We split an order of General Tso Brussel Sprouts which were served with Sriracha Aioli, yummy! I had the Jumbo Shrimp Salad on toast. There is a reason they have kept the original recipe for 33 years. This sandwich never disappoints. Then once you finish up at Becks it is fun to wander around downtown Sykesville.

So those perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle wings, had very little to no old bay flavor. As for the shrimp salad sandwich, I was shocked to at each half only had five to six shrimp on it. There was barely any shrimp. The service and the potential for the wings to be knockout gave this pace a four star. Next time I go back, I know the wings will be great and I will order a different sandwich.

I had gone there many years ago and had many of the same complaints however about a year ago I retried and was pleasantly surprised by changes that were made. I now go every few weeks for different craft beers and other "necessities" and always find it to be very well stocked, clean, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The best part about Total Discount - they let you do mix-six packs! From what I have found, they are one of the remaining stores in the area that allow this. I highly recommend them for anything you may need liquor wise and if you are into different craft beers, this is hands down the only place to go in Carroll County. Side note - no one has ever asked or tried to make a copy of my license there. My feeling of this story is that the cashier probably wanted to SCAN the barcode on the back of the ID. That's not for creating a database as the store is strictly prohibited from doing that by law unless the customer gives consent. Maryland DOES HIGHLY RECOMMEND that each store scan all IDs with liquor sales to ensure the ID isn't fake. Many stores have a policy to do this, due to State and Local pressure. Certainly you can't hold the store accountable for this.

I'm not sure what bottles usually cost so I can't speak to cost-effectiveness, but I did notice there is a frequent buyers program and sales were posted throughout the store.

I got the chicken dippers (tenders) in buffalo sauce. Hand breaded, nice size. I was happy.

March 2026: CHECK YOUR ITEMIZED BILL BEFORE YOU PAY…read more We've been coming to 1623 sporadically since literally the weekend it opened and really love their IPA and outdoor space (inside, not so much). But this most recent visit is really our last. It's 2 weeks after our visit on March 27 and I'm sitting down to reconcile our Visa bill. This is when I note our bill was padded with over $30 of food and drinks we didn't purchase. Our bad for not looking closely at the bill when it came, but this should have never happened. Hence this review. We are craft beer people and there are lots of other great places to enjoy. We feel it's no longer worth the drive to 1623/Craft Culture.

Average food, average service, loud and surprisingly lots of kids for a Tavern , but then again…read morethey do have a kids menu. they do have a lot of gluten free options tho, including desserts , so good for folks who don't eat gluten.

Overall it was a pleasant experience with good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Parking was easy and conveniently located directly in front of the restaurant. There is also outdoor seating available during good weather, and they even offer a dog-friendly menu for your four-legged companions. I would recommend calling ahead to confirm whether the dog menu is available year-round or only when the patio is open. Inside, the dining area is spacious and comfortable, making it a good option for both small and larger groups. They offer daily and weekly specials in addition to their regular all-day menu. Tuesday wing specials seemed to be especially popular with several members of our group. The food was the highlight of the evening. Everything brought to the table looked fresh and flavorful, and I did not hear a single complaint about anyone's meal. A few people ordered the wings and thoroughly enjoyed them. The biggest challenge during our visit was the service. Our server was friendly and clearly trying his best, but with a larger group and separate checks, things became a bit scattered and confusing at times. Orders and checks needed a few corrections before the end of the evening. In fairness, the general manager stepped in to help resolve an issue with one meal, which was appreciated and helped improve the situation. Overall, despite a few service hiccups, the quality of the food and the comfortable atmosphere made this a worthwhile visit, and I would return again.
