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!

I've had my eye on this place for a long time. This place was so cool and unique. Unfortunately I…read moredid not go to the spa but I did enjoy sitting in the brewery and having a drink.

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!!

Great pressed Cuban sandwich, best grouper sandwich, good food…read more We were out on Liberty road, near Oscar's Alehouse in Eldersburg MD, and we remembered the excellent grouper sandwiches we've had here. They were good as the ones we got fresh in Florida. We wanted takeout this time, and decided on their $16 Cuban pressed sandwich. It's layers of tender thin-sliced slow-roasted pork, ham, and Swiss cheese. The bread is like a french baguette, pressed and crispy-toasted, spread with yellow mustard and tangy dill-pickle chips. It's a rich handful of a sandwich. It came with generous hot soft boardwalk-style fries. Oscar's was quick and friendly. The sandwich was excellent!

Let's just say the evening came with a few extras we didn't order: a hair in a drink (quickly replaced), a shattered wine glass on delivery (quickly cleaned up and replaced), and our server Riot confidently carrying a bucket through the place and leaving a trail of water across the entire floor (quickly mopped up). But Riot was truly a riot... so fun and good-natured about everything that we spent most of the evening laughing it all off. He really made the night. Despite the mishaps, the vibe was great and we'd absolutely go back. Sometimes chaotic nights make the best memories. 1623 is a fun spot worth checking out.

They were pretty good and I loved that the fries come with old Bay. Our waiter was super helpful and attentive.

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.

We had plans on having outdoor lunch at Noras...this was before it snowed....so we wrote down the list of ingredients and planned on stopping at this liquor store for the first time to buy them. But I'm an old fart and I left the list at home. All we could remember was that the drink contained rum, and that the video had two funny guys behind a bar. I still had fun looking at the store's great selection, but we left defeated after not being able to remember the ingredients. Well: while we were eating, the store employee popped his head out and recommended that we stop in again after finishing our meal. When we did, he pulled up a video on his phone and asked us if it was the one we had scene: it was! AND He had already pulled all of the ingredients for us! This is exactly why I love cozy, community based businesses: you're not just another mindless customer. This is our new liquor store. It's not a huge store, but their selection is incredible. Lots of interesting things I've never even seen before. I highly recommend this place (as well as the food nextdoor!) Bravo

I ate badly that day! I had a donut burger; two donuts with burger in between. I found a quiet place outside to eat on the fairgrounds.
