We stopped by this bar after kayaking at Mariner State Park on a Monday evening. Dugout Tavern is…read moreout of the way from the rest of the busy streets, but it is worth stopping by. They have one pool table where APA league members usually play, a shuffle board, and a number of TVs for sports games (although they are not HD). I could tell this was a local go-to for many of the customers at this bar especially since they all seemed to know each other. Our bartender was very friendly with helping us decide what to order. We got the Belly Buster Fried Fish sub ($8.99), with a side of fries (an extra $2) and Italian Cold Cut ($9.50), with a side of chips (free), along with a Loose Cannon ($5.00) & Grapefruit Crush ($6.00). The subs were pretty good. The fried cod (I believe it was) was nice and crispy and the tartar sauce paired perfectly to cut the richness of the grease. The portion was definitely money's worth. The cold cuts in my sub were fresh. There was enough acid to not make the bread soggy. The grapefruit crush was very icy. I noticed the bartender made it by blending a grapefruit fruit cup with ice and some grapefruit-vodka. When I was done with my first drink, she poured the rest of the mixture from the blender into my glass, which I thought was very nice. All in all, dugout tavern is a hidden gem that has great food and service. There is also parking on site and outdoor seating.

I will agree with most of the comments I have seen about the food. Everything that we have tried…read morehas been very good. The Chicken Parmesan sandwich I had last night was on point and my girlfriend had a very good chicken quesadilla as well. Prices are pretty reasonable. My only beef is with the service. The bar is a little "cliquey" from several observations. The regulars seem to get waited on immediately and a newcomer gets a "I'll be right with you". No placemats, no silverware, no napkins seems to be the norm. Had to ask for ketchup when my fries came out after getting chips by mistake. We will most likely go back though, especially since The Bird River Inn changed their whole menu and did away with most of our favorite menu items. Everything is smoked now and very salty. If you're looking for ambience, you may want to try somewhere else. The Dugout is a hole in the wall dive bar and has been for decades...just the way the regulars like it!

The food is pretty on point, but the service needs work. Either the bartender needs help, or the…read morebar backs need help. One of the two. There was no soda for crushes so the bartender was having to run to the back bar to fill pitchers of sprite which took extremely long given that there was a good amount of ppl at the bar, and she was also taking phone orders. Poor bartender was weeded and no bar backs were noted helpful. The ambiance was good, not a bad spot. Have a few pool tables which is cool but certain nights there is league I believe so they aren't available. Overall, I will go back, but mostly for the dish I got! Hoping they get some good help soon.

Nicely decorated and comfortable seating at bar. Super friendly bartender!! Like 10 star. Very attentive and very welcoming. Always checking in to make sure all is good. Ordered a margarita that was tasty. Also ordered a capri martini (think lemon) that was subpar. Manhattan was ordered and was very good. Lots of drink options and lots of beet on tap. Ordered a flatbread pizza that was good and the pesto chicken sandwich (no bun) that was delicious! Sandwich was served with house made chips that were worth fighting over. Tons of specials. Just a terrific place to perch. Will be back. They even have Keno!

She was the best first impression you could have had... told us the history of the Lib family how they are the Perry Hall staple of the area. Vic was our server and he was wonderful, answering questions and very knowledgeable. Michelle was the mgr on the evening we were there and came out when we wanted to rave over the meal... when she found out we were new to the area, she came back to the table with her top picks for dining in the area. Really... wow! The deck was enclosed but was an open space that made you feel like you were outside without the draft.

2/15/26 Update!…read more Lib's Grill has become our regular pit stop on the way to D.C. We have become "regulars" and our server that we ask for every time, (Brenna) is a bright light and always provides us with amazing service that keeps us coming back! We all enjoyed our lunch and I have to say, Lib's Grill was rocking! It was President's Weekend Holiday and every table was taken for brunch/lunch. Our meals, once again were all really good and service was top notch. Thank you, Brenna, (and team), for making our meal a memorable one, once again. I'll provide some updated photos to keep this review as fresh as the food and service! :)

This is the bar upstairs from Long Beach Restaurant…read more It used to be sooo much better, when it was the "new" Long Beach, but it has lost some appeal, and slid into a locals bar, older locals. Some might like this, it is low key and they always have a DJ there. The good part is they have decent food available from the restaurant below. In the summer, obviously there will be more people and they have a nice 2nd story deck with it's own bar that is nice. They added a crab steaming building 2-3 years ago, so enjoy some crabs on the deck! I will say the DJ is almost always too loud, not sure why they can't turn it down...maybe something to do with the older crowd?? Living close to this place, it's a nice option, definitly better than Wild Duck on every aspect except view.

You can tell this place has regulars and they love it there. We had to wait a bit for help since there was only 1 bartender who was also the only server. But she was super friendly and personable. I ordered a cheesesteak and tater tots. The cheesesteak was surprisingly delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect but it was great. The tater tots were crispy but had no flavor. Unfortunately it did take a bit to get our food, and our one friend got hers about 15 minutes before the rest of us did. But in their defense, the kitchen is tiny and only has 1 cook. Overall we had a good time and I can see us putting this spot in our rotation.
