We have been coming here for years. A great place to catch the NFL Games. The food is great. We have never had a bad meal. Our favorite foods are: the chicken wings, burgers, Brussel sprouts, Chicken Caesar Wrap, and the Chicken Sandwich. The bartenders are very friendly and always doing their best. Our favorite bartender is Ms. Sophie. The place is well maintained and has clean bathrooms. read more

Everything about Bucks is great! It's the perfect local dive bar with phenomenal food (the Cuban is my favorite), affordable drinks and the service is always on point regardless of the time of day! The set up at the bar with the high top behind it is genius! read more

It's built as a dive bar and it is!...but in a good way!! We got the hamburger and wings! Highly recommend the blackberry chipotle wings as they were excellent so much we ordered them to go the next week!! Again nothing fancy for this place but enjoyed it read more

Great little dive bar. Gets crowded on the weekends but still always had fast service from the bartenders. Owned by the same people as The Hideaway so the food is great too. read more

As a basement bar, the ambiance alone is worth the trip. From the moment you walk in (after wandering down the stairs), you are immediately struck by the inviting and stylish atmosphere. What used to be incredibly divey, is now updated. The decor is now modern, warm and comfortable, kinda sorta like a basement dwelling speakeasy! Making it the perfect place for a casual dinner, sport watching spot or a loud night out (like karaoke). They stay open r e a l l y late for this area--depending the days it is either 12am or 2am. I believe they are owned and operated by the restaurant down the street--The Hideaway? Parking is incredibly small and the surrounding homes WILL call the police to have you towed. Darts, jukebox and karaoke. read more

HOLY COW THIS IS MY 1000TH REVIEW! It doesn't get much more divy than this LOL! In the midst of the relatively quiet area that is Odenton is a lone building... I have no idea what's on the first floor, but down below, you've got a whole bar! There are darts and semi-giant Jenga to play at your leisure. There's a fairly large bar and plenty of seating around to get yourself settled. On this Saturday evening there happened to be karaoke, YAY!! The way they do it, you can see the queue and even get the app on your phone so you know exactly when it'll be your turn. Prices of things seem quite reasonable, and with the darts and Jenga to enjoy, you and your friends shouldn't have anything short of a good time. It's a bit of a hike for me to go on the regular, especially during rush hour. Glad to know they aren't far from my tattoo guy though! I'll be back. read more

The food was alright- service wasn't. Barkerp hung out with her friends/regulars- had to go to the bar and flag her down when she forgot to draw teo draft beers. Also took forever to pay our bill as she was talking to a male customer. Pretty sure kid sitting in the corner playing on his phone was a minor. This is definitely a local dive bar so if your not a local/regular don't expect much. read more

Buck Murphy's Bar - Buck Murphy's Bar area - Sports Bars Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

This is a great neighborhood bar. We came in after a thrilling night of mini golf and the good times kept rolling. On Saturday nights, karaoke is featured. The crowd is extremely supportive so you don't have to be the next great singer. The bar staff and the customers were extremely welcoming and made us feel like old friends even though it was our first time. The food and drinks are solid and reasonably priced. I can recommend the fried ribs and the crab tater tots to soak up some of that liquid courage. If I'm ever randomly mini golfing on a Saturday night/happen to be in Odenton for some reason, I wouldn't hesitate to come back. read more

One of the best unknown spots in Odenton. The basement bar is truly a well known secret. The menu is similar to another well known and favorite spot. We stayed a while, and the sports favorites are always playing on the tv! read more

Interesting neighborhood. Kind of looks like a converted basement into a bar. Parking lot is very small so you may have to park in the neighborhood. Small selection of alcoholic beverages and a limited amount of space. I took a seat at the bar. A few televisions around the bar to watch sporting events. I went on a Thursday so the football game was on. I ordered some of the old bay wings with a beer ti was it down. Food was good and the service was great as well. Would definitely come back again. Prices are reasonable and affordable. read more

Buck Murphy's Bar - Entrance - Sports Bars Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

I lived across the street for a year, and this became one of my go-to bars. The bartenders here were absolutely amazing and always super personable... they made you feel like a regular even after a very short time! Even though the beer selection wasn't huge, it was usually pretty diverse so you could find something for all preferences. I love the food here, and as a total french fry connoisseur, I must say they have my favorite fries encountered to date! They are these wide but thin cut fries (kind of like a steak fry cut super thin) but have the perfect amount of soft potato to crunchy skin ratio. I have come here just for a beer and a basket of fries! Their happy hour menu is also fantastic. You can get some great food for really cheap! We would frequently come here during our work lunch hour (we worked evenings) for good food and free darts! They have plenty of TV's for sports games. It's a small space so when they're really crowded, it can be hard to find a spot and it can slow down service. Still, this was one of my favorite spots to go during my time in Maryland! read more

Buck Murphy's is legit. We came last weekend on a whim and ended up having a great time. The food was good and the drinks were strong. It's one of those places that you wouldn't expect to be what it is walking in. We went on karaoke night, and the crowd was very mixed, but everyone got along and interacted with each other. I walked through the door and immediately got dapped up by the gentleman who was easily pushing 80. It's weird/quirky stuff like this that I enjoy. I hate a stiff divided room, where nobody speaks. I came back on my bday and got drinks with my wife. It was Wednesday so it wasn't as crowded, but it was still a good time. I can easily see this becoming a go-to spot to chill and catch a game or just hang out... read more

FINALLY!!! I finally got to this bar. What a great welcome from Jennifer and the other patrons that welcomed me and my guest. I had a drink and brisket rolls, OMG! So delicious. It was a very welcoming atmosphere with a "Cheers" vibe. I will be back, regularly. read more

It's a bar with kinda typical bar food that is located in the basement of the owners home I believe. It has limited space with limited parking. That being said, it is still a great spot to go to. They have great drinks, friendly servers, nightly specials, and one of those jukeboxes om the wall that let you play music from your phone using a certain app. My friends and coworkers LOVE this place and how low key it is. The crowd has always been friendly too and willing to share large tables amongst small groups if it is a particularly packed night. I have a gf sensitivity so when I go I have to opt for the ciders and smoked wings but both are very tasty and they have numerous sauce options for the wings so you won't feel left out! Also, this place is not cash only as stated in an older review! read more

Our new neighborhood bar with big TVs!! Quaint and warm! Great chili with chunks of tender brisket, delicious wings, crisp salad with pulled chicken breast, and wonderful drinks by Sophie! Next time will be soon! Eat in or outside. read more

This place is a true gem. Not what you would expect from a basement bar. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Drinks strong and food was really good. We have been twice and each time did not disappoint! Different crowds depending on the day you are there, good amount of TV playing sports and movies...will probably be our new go-to spot! read more

Simple food done fantasticly well! Not sure what else to say, had a chilli cheese dog that was great. Great dog, the chili had a small but discernable kick and the thin steak fries were amazing! My wife had the Boom Boom shimp and tator tots and they did not disappoint! Go support this local establishment!!! I am a First timer and am sorry to have passed this place almost daily in the last 14 months! Definitely coming back! read more

I recently discovered Buck Murphys after passing it weekly for years. BM is an awesome watering hole! The food, service and the staff are all great!! My only regret is that they took away those banging "Fribs" - WHY? #BringbacktheFribs read more

Best local bar ,in the area ,amazing crew great drinks good bar food ,and no stupid issues. with a friendly customers from all cultures.

A great find. A small town bar and grill environment with good drink selection and high quality menu. My friend "cannot put into words" how good the chili was. The fries (pictured below) set a new standard for the style and flavor of french fries. Overall, the plain and low key Buck Murphy's was a good experience and, if in the neighborhood, we'd happily go back. read more

This bar is not the typical bar, but still a great find. It appears to be in the basement of a house but don't let that fool you. The bartender was super fun and the food was very good. Bonus points that they have TouchTunes. Will definitely visit again! read more

Best hole in the wall bar you can find in town. The cubano sandwich it amazing. Don't expect amazing service, its not one of those bars..

The beer is mostly cold, service is mostly provided with attitude, when their off their phones. Go to the hideaway instead

I love this spot. It's laid back, no frills locals vibe. Play some late night darts and Jenga here. They have outdoor seating and the bar food here is excellent. Amanda and Sophie are the most friendliest and nicest bartenders. You ladies rock !! Their drinks are on point mixed with phenomenal customer service. Shout out to Mike super cool dude. read more

The food is delicious. Sophie is fantastic. The sound system is in desperate need of an upgrade. Was there to watch the playoffs and poor Sophie spent way too much time getting the sound from the game working read more

Awful! Food was salty! This is not the same food or quality as Hideaway. Flat fries were way too salty. Chicken tenders were basic bland thin frozen Tyson chicken tenders. Expensive disappointment. read more

Buck Murphy's Bar - Horrible! Flat fries were overly salty and thin Tyson chicken tenders were bland. Sad. - Sports Bars Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

For real 5 stars. Great food and fast - wings were amazing. Impressive bourbon menu...service was one deep and better than most, Tyson was literal magic. Would return her-great place for a game probably. read more

Hard to imagine such a happening place exists here. Great Vibe. Best Beers on Tap Came for Taco Tuesday's and loved the Tacos. 3 for $9,99. Wings ate also phenomenal. Recommend highly. read more

Fn love it. Tyson is one of the best bartenders I've had. Good atmosphere. Everything on the menu is great, up to date and popular beers on tap, and enough tv's to please any sports bar go'er. My roommate and I love to come here for a few drinks. read more

I have to say I am quite shocked at the good reviews as this place was absolutely disgusting!! We opened the door to this dingy place and you are immediately hit with steps to enter. I felt like I was entering a dungeon. When you enter the next door at the bottom of the steps you are met with a dimly lit bar setting. We now know why it was dimly lit. It was filthy! As you walk across the floor your shoes stick to it. My husband asked where I wanted to sit and I grimaced because there wasn't a single seat that didn't have black smudged up grime in the corners. There were only two people eating at the bar and what looked like two employees, none of whom greeted us when we walked in. There was no comment of "sit anywhere" or anything complete silence. I picked what looked like the least filthy place to sit but I already knew we were not welcome here and was planning my escape from what felt like a setting from the show Criminal Minds. My husband sat down and because it was so dark did not see the sticky ketchup all over one area of the table top. I said there is no way I'm staying here and eating food coming out of the kitchen of a place this disgustingly filthy and we got up and left. Luckily I had wipes in my car so my husband could wipe off the ketchup and I could clean my hands from just touching the surfaces in that place. An employee at the Hideaway Restaurant had recommended this place as an alternative but this was nothing like the Hideaway, hard to believe it's the same owner. Now it makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like there. read more

It gets a 4 just because it's cold in there and I'm a wimp. But great people and great service.

New to the area and been looking for new places to try out. Had mixed feelings on whether or not to go here from reviews I've read and ones I've been told. Glad we went though, spent hours there. Had a great time, good food and good drinks and a great bartender! He wowed me with his magic tricks and rubic cube. Definitely will be back again soon! read more

Great improvement to a very sad dive bar. I love the Shrimp Po Boy and crab dip. A safe bar for women and great bar food menu.

This place is great completely renovated. Great beer and amazing wings you have to try their berry chipotle sauce It's like no other!!

Yey, Bob, made No. 1! Love the menu, my bartender, and the relaxed vibe. I get the shrimp; Lovey gets the cubano. Always great. Keep on keeping on the good work, guys! read more

Wow what an amazing hidden spot! The food is ADDICTIVE! The wings and the french fries are so freaking good. I don't know what it is about the fries but A+++, my friends and I love them! The bartenders are so nice and friendly! I love coming in after work for a beer or two! Cheap too!! It gets packed on Friday & Saturday nights. They do karaoke on Saturday's, I've been to a few and its shocking how much fun it is and also how good people can sing! Beware however, it is a "regular" type bar and it is in a basement. But if you can overlook that, it's a hidden gem! read more

I've been a big fan of this place for over a year. I waited 3+ months for one of their amazing burgers - only to have them change their menu. Some additions, like the brussels sprouts from the hideaway are great - but messing with the Buck's Burger recipe was a HUGE let down. To the point that it took away from the whole experience. I still like the place but the main reason we go is for this amazing burger - I'm hoping it is temporary until they are 100% again. read more

Wonderful renovated bar. Good drinks and wonderful food. Reuben balls are outstanding!
