This place is awesome. It's as local as it gets in terms of ownership, staff and customers. Great bar, great food, great weekly specials, bartenders, servers, etc. A personal favorite of mine is their SUPER SALAD. It always has fresh seasonal toppings, add your protein of choice (fresh fish of the day?) and it is the best salad in town. It's excellent... ...wings are great also, always have good soups, daily specials, drinks, etc. they have a lot of outside dog-friendly seating as well. It should just become your regular stop year 'round. read more

ABOUT THE AMBIANCE. Love the consistent, lively vibe at this Eastport restaurant/bar - seven days a week, it is sure to be clamoring with locals who pull-up by kayak and dingy (a 100-yd walk for the neighborhood dock) or walk in from homes nearby. Davis' is both people and dog friendly, allowing both species to chat it up, socialize and refuel. The outside sports a dozen a so picnic-style tables and a few high tops that bleed into the street. Shade is omnipresent once seated and servers kindly offer up water for your four-legged friends. There's a cozy park with seating just across the street from the hostess stand for those eagerly awaiting a table, right by the community dock. The inside of Davis' Pub is distinctly "bar" - replete with TVs and high tops - though there's a surprisingly large area for table service beyond the often-crowded bar. Don't expect anything slick or shiny here -- a fresh coat of paint may be tough to find. This is an authentic, worn Eastport treasure -- some use it as their comfortable watering hole, others for a cozy meal and a large swath to gather with friends. read more

Came here on a slow Tuesday night but Davis' Pub still had a strong presence of regulars and other characters. The place is full of history & items on the wall giving you a glimpse into the past. For food, I enjoyed their Blackened Salmon Wrap which was solid. I'll definitely be back and hope to enjoy a drink with some locals read more

Davis' is the least touristy venue in Eastport/Annapolis but is always crowded. I don't believe that they advertise in the tourist rags, nor need to. It's better to go there in good weather when you can sit out around the patio and look out at the townhouses overlooking Back Creek. It's fun that everyone knows about Davis Pub but it's still hidden. Yes, I've pulled up and docked from my dinghy a few times. Yes, I've tumbled in with a crew of racers after a day of sailing. Yes, I've just walked there. And walked there. And walked there. Yes, Davis' is open 7 days a week and filled with longstanding locals at the bar. Yes you can bring your dog to the patio. Yes, it's family friendly in the back part of the restaurant and on the patio. Their steamed shrimp is the best: loads of onions, drawn butter and a lemon. Their french fries truly rock. I don't know why I love them so much but I think it's because they are just the right amount of somewhat thinly-cut and crispy. So if there is ever a question as to whether to get a basket of fries, get them. Love the hot dogs, burgers and whatever their daily specials are. Truly there is no better place to get a burger in all of Annapolis and it's the best kept secret. They use Angus beef. Their crab pretzel is an indulgence. Their wings are awesome, as well. Two things I've never had at Davis: salads or their crab cakes. For a pub, they do have an awesome salad choice: the Pub Superfood salad has kale, brussel sprouts, carrots, broccoli, green and red cabbage. You can also order other salads and add chicken breast, buffalo chicken strips, grilled tuna steak or filet mignon medallions. There are around 6-7 pours of drafts available, cans of beer and cider and a nice selection of wines. I don't know if you can get orange crushes here. There is the full bar of liquor, as well. People are friendly, here, but the naptown local contingent is strong. So unless you're showing up regularly, it's not easy to chat freely. The local patrons all know one another and are good folks who basically live at Davis. Like if you were about to fall over at the bar, one of them would catch you and hold you up. They might not say much to you, but they wouldn't let you fall. If you're not laughing, I probably still am. It's an old salt thing. So, if you want a good meal or just a day of heavy drinking, this is your place. read more

A one of a kind. We've been coming to this dive bar/restaurant for 25 years. I don't think the crabcakes are as good as they used to be, but it's just fun to have a boat drink and watch the locals and boaters yuk it up at the bar. You'll definitely leave having made a new friend or two. read more

A DTA classic. Come for a drink, watch the game, and have some food. The best spot to catch up with friends or family. Stopped by here with the parents for some dinner and drinks. The fish and chips are bomb, plus they serve the best matchstick fries. Overall just a chill fun spot. read more

First rate!! Referred by staff at Chesapeake Light Craft. Stumbled through icy Annapolis streets to Eastport, found Davis' Pub. The Mrs and I each had the Avocado Turkey BLT special. We both loved it. The turkey was carved from the critter, not deli mystery meat. Big sandwich!! We each took half to-go so that we had room to split a slice o' cheesecake. MMMMmmmm... Service was very efficient, quick and friendly. Except for the rude ice on the streets and sidewalk outside (that was EVERYwhere), it was a stellar A+++ experience. Go there, me sez!! read more

If you're looking for the place, locals go for good crabcakes, Davis's Pub is your spot. This unassuming pub might not win any beauty contests, but their seafood was exceptional. The crabcakes are Perfectly balanced with a crispy exterior with a tender, flavorful center The ratio of crab to breadcrumb was spot-on, having just enough bread to keep it together, unlike many places who put too much breadcrumb in their crabcakes. The boiled peel-yourself shrimp were Cooked to perfection, they paired beautifully with melted butter and a generous sprinkle of extra Old Bay, and extra old bay on the side. Both the crab and the shrimp were fresh, cooked simply but really let the seafood shine. Service was brisk, even on a bustling Tuesday evening. While the place was packed, our food arrived promptly. The ambiance is quintessential pub: casual and inviting, ideal for kicking back with a cold beer. It's not fancy, but it's convenient and right off the water if you want to go walk and look at the boats and yachts. read more

The best place in Annapolis. Great food great people. Perfect location and nice authentic interior

What a wonderful place to get some really good food! Wonderful staff (Thank You, Emma!). Such a fun place! Cod sandwich, fish and chips, and crab cake platters were all excellent. read more

Just docked the yacht and heard that Davis Pub was the local pub to go to for the local experience. Decided to take my four legged friend because the Davis pub has a dog menu. It took a long time to get a seat but when we sat down it got better. Deano's choice was a hamburger and I chose the fried pickles and the pulled pork sandwich and the loose cannon IPA. They were so busy they forgot Deano's hamburger. It finally came out after asking. It was nice eating outside even though it was a long wait! All of the food was delicious! read more

I love this place. I have been twice. Once with my dog and once with my husband. The outside seating is dog friendly and they have a doggie menu. During busier times the service is rather slow (unless they were shortstaffed that day). I don't go enough to know their patterns. The food is always great and I look forward to their soup of the day. For the most part, even on weekends, you can find easy parking within the few surrounding blocks. read more

This is such a FUN bar with EXCELLENT Maryland food. The crabcakes are the best anyplace and the crab soup..to die for. My husband loves tge humongous crab pretzel with lump crab meat. During our dinner, we has a great server. Even though she was busy, we never felt neglected. She was always there when we needed a refill or had a question. I found Davis' Pub while looking on YELP for a dive bar in Annapolis. It has been our go to every time we visit the area. Great restaurant/bar with a professional staff and friendly customers. Oh and a friend, who was with us and a "martini snob", thought that these were some of the best martinis ever. read more

Local pub in Eastport. It's got the great Annapolis and bay feel without the tourists (except for me, haha). Eastport is a bit more chill. The beer selection is solid and the food....better than expected. Granted, we were hungry after a few hours on the bay but the Reuben has terrific, the French dip was "so good" (per my son) and the BLT was fantastic. Great beacon and super fresh tomatoes. It was so good, I'm going back tonight! read more

Came in for an authentic Maryland bar experience, and Lexi did not disappoint. It was a blast!

Local dive bar with nice outside seating and allows dogs outside. Had about 10 different draft beers recited by the server at the table of which we chose Blue Moon. Enjoyed crab dip, fried Buffalo cauliflower, and the nachos with Buffalo chicken listed from best to worse in that order. We had enough food for just the 2 of us to hold us over as a whole meal. Man, those nachos were huge! Jake n kev read more

Loved this place! Only a half block walk from our Airbnb. Great food and drinks and a lively vibe. Really fun!

Good old neighborhood pub that is always packed with locals from Eastport. My go-to here is Orange Crush.

Davis pub is a staple of Annapolis culture. At night, I often dream of eating their crab pretzel, drinking cold draft beer while sitting out by the water at Davis pub. The tuna sandwich is also a must. read more

Amazing neighborhood pub all food has been great so far highly recommended the local atmosphere is delightful

Great place for outdoor seating with lots of tables. The place is across the street from the water and you can watch the boats from the tables. It was also a great place to watch the Blue Angels practice. I had fish and chip, the fish was just ok. The batter wasn't what I was expecting. My friends buffalo cauliflower was a winner and everyone enjoyed the orange crushes. We had a nice time and the outdoor seating is especially dog friendly and there were pups everywhere. Next time I'll bring my dog. read more

Great place to stop by for a bite, crush, or brew. Frequented by locals who know a great spot to have a meal. Have never had a bad meal. Burger, fish and chips, BLT, Meatloaf, etc. If you are visiting Annapolis the trip is not complete wi5hout a stopover at Davis Pub. read more

This is an iconic pub that's been here for a long time . Go for the atmosphere and pub food. I got a crab cake on crackers that was a good size , but tasted a bit weird, like not terribly fresh. And the crab wasn't great quality. My daughter got Gumbo which was a much better choice. It was a bit spicy but we enjoyed it. Granddaughter got chicken tenders which were good . Service was good. read more

I like this little spot in Eastport. Came for dinner and was happy to see them respect social distancing and staff wearing masks. It was about a fifteen minute wait. They had seating inside and outside. The service was excellent! Really nice and they came by several times to ask if we wanted more drinks or anything else. It's pub food done well. The crab pretzel was good. Not pretty but lightly spiced with Old Bay, cream cheese and cheddar on top. I had the meatloaf special with green beans cooked perfectly and mashed potatoes. Hubby had gumbo so delicious. I liked the gumbo so much that I scooped some of the sauce onto my meatloaf- The brown gravy and the mashed potatoes were awesome. We licked our plates clean. We will be back. It's tiny inside, wood floors, low ceilings, Annapolis style! read more

NOT ALWAYS A GOOD EXPERIENCE I am in tears...today is St. Patrick's Day 2024...we have supported Davis Pub for 30 years. My husband is recovering from illness so we couldn't dine-in today. I called at 130pm & was told they offer order pickup. Matty( or Naty?) took my 2 Corned Beef & Cabbage Platter orders for pickup @ 430pm. I recd a phone call at 415pm advising the specials were sold-out & told orders are placed 20 min before pickup. This is unacceptable service. They could have held 2 orders back for my order & did not consider that option. No apology or other option provided. Our dinner plan was ruined. read more

Totally disgusting, u clean and unhealthy . Saw the short order cook, first pick at his ear, like squeezing a zit on his ear lobe. Then majorly pick his nose with one finger and then 2 thumbs. Told the bartenders but i doubt they did anything. read more

Came here years ago and came back because of the hometown neighborhood feel. The side street where the restaurant is located is blocked off for outdoor seating. Ample amount of tables and spaced out enough for social distancing. We were going to sit outside but it was getting chilly at 4pm so we chose to go inside. There's a host area outside to assist with seating. Once inside we got to choose where we sat. All the high boys were taken so we sat closer to the back by the kitchen area. The waiter told us where it would be warmest. Once seated it took maybe 5 minutes and we were waited on. Due to COVID, the restaurant has the QR code for online menus. There are also alcoholic beverage options written on a board on the wall. Here's what I ordered: -Quirk Strawberry Lemon & Basil Seltzer: similar to a White Claw but this was really good. Sneaks up on you because it tastes just like a regular sparkling water. Not much alcohol flavor, which I enjoy. Will definitely order again. -cup of Maryland Crab Soup: not enough lump crab for me. Mainly thin pieces of crab meat. Loved that there were a LOT of different vegetables in it; Lima beans, peas, corn just to name a few. Very hearty and filling. Wish it was a thicker consistency so I would probably not order again. Good for what it was though. -Crab Pretzel: every time I get this I am in awe! This is sooooo good! Best appetizer they have on the menu. Love the compliment of the cream cheese with the crab and the seasonings over the pretzel. Veryyyyy good. It's a staple to get every single time. And comes with 2! -Buffalo Cauliflower: I love it when veggies are disguised in yummy, crispy buffalo sauce. These were fantastic! No hint of cauliflower taste with all the benefits. The size of the cauliflower was perfect. Will definitely order again. Only ordered a few appetizers but was very satisfied. Hopefully next time I can get past the appetizers and venture out to the main menu. I wasn't sure who our waiter was because 2 people helped us but loved how everyone was friendly and kept checking up on us. read more

Davis' Pub is NEVER empty. Why is that? Because the food and people you'll find inside are beyond impressive. Great staff in the kitchen, serving tables, and at the bar. Been here with friends and family and it has never disappointed. In the winter when it's cold out, you might have a short wait for a table, but in the summer there is lots of outdoor seating. Pub tots are a must, they also have a killer veggie burger read more

Davis' Pub - Veggie burger with sweet potato fries - American Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Stopped here for lunch and is what it is - pub grub. I had the crab soup and it was loaded with veggies and a hint of crabmeat. I did taste good but don't expect chunks of crab meat. I then had the Crab Balls which were good - made of crab flake, so no crab chunks. My wife had grilled chicken which she liked. They gave me a plastic glass of Pinot Grigio which I thought was good for $6 - better than most places will charge. We ate outside and it was a delightful day - there are only about 6-7 tables so if you want outside, best get there early. We checked out the inside and guess what - it looks like a pub! Service was fine. Worth a stop for a pub experience, but expect pub grub. read more

Still the same old neighborhood pub in Eastport. Reminds me of a lot for the corner pubs in Europe but the restaurant and food is far more expanded. Plus their niche dishes, crab cakes and bar food. Definitely a fun place but go easy on the neighbors when parking, leaving, and hopefully not urinating on their lawns at the end of a long night of drinking. :) read more
