Diamondback is our favorite local spot - they have a great variety of brews and their pizza is THE BEST! Their large outdoor patio is the perfect place to sit, with plenty of room for kids and dogs to hang out. The bartenders/staff are friendly and help add to the fun, laid back environment. In addition to an occasional night out at Diamondback, our family has also held a couple of gatherings there over the years, including my husband's birthday party and our diaper party/baby shower. This really is the perfect place for casual gatherings, whether large or small, and the staff really go above and beyond to make the planning and day a wonderful time. Mark, one of the owners, is fantastic to work with, very responsive to emails, and friendly. Overall, we love this special place and feel lucky to have it nearby! read more

Love Diamondback- pizza always slaps. Not always a huge beer selection but always awesome. They have great events - we were here for the bbq competition! Bartenders are always nice and do a great job! Tables indoors and an awesome patio. Definitely come check them out! read more

Not bad. Decent pizza and beer. The inside fills up fast, which meant a long line to order and little space to sit and enjoy food. Our party grabbed a high top table, but that was tricky with our littlest, so we went outside to the patio. While in the winter they have some space heaters to make it more pleasant, they only cover a small amount of the patio. We were far from the only folks with kiddos (a lot of babies and toddlers around), which is why I was surprised I didn't see any high chairs or booster seats. Just be aware if you bring littles. I imagine the patio is probably a lot better in the warmer months, but be aware that there's not much indoor space in colder weather. The pizza was probably the best part of the visit. Their "plain" cheese, the "Formaggio" is a 5-cheese blend that we enjoyed, especially Child #1 and Child #3. We also enjoyed our pepperoni pizza (sorry, Child #2, no olives as a topping). My wife got the chicken tenders for Child #3 and they both shared it - said it was solid. My friends got the pretzels with their Jersey Pizza and the one piece I had was good - sweet and salty glaze; I just wish there were more to eat. The beers were okay. My wife and I are fond of sours, so we got the Peach Cobbler Sour and the Black Shadows wild ale. My wife commented how the peach cobbler sour was surprisingly bitter. The Black Shadows was quite funky. It's not for everyone but if you like wild/sour/funky beers, it's worth a try. Overall not bad. read more

Random Saturday side quest and I'm glad I popped in. Delicious pizza. Good beer. And great staff. I love the brick oven being the focal point of the space, also made it nice a cozy despite it being colder than the dickens out that day. read more

Phenomenal place for pizza and beer! The service every time is smooth, the staff are welcoming, and the vibes are cozy. The bathrooms are clean and organized. The parking lot is free and easily accessible to the brewery, not crowded on weekends. I absolutely love their Ravens Pizza! read more

I tried Diamondback on a whim after a recent work event in Locust Point. Great find! Diamondback is in a converted industrial space and retains a lot of that character. The indoor area has a relatively low ceiling giving a cozy feel. There's a nice outdoor patio which was well occupied on an unseasonably warm November evening. I particularly enjoyed the presence of Inky, the 11-year old bar mascot. He's remarkably tolerant of both the noise level and constant stream of strangers. For food, I ordered the formaggio pizza which was excellent. The crust was quite tasty and slightly chewy though thin. The pizza boasts a five cheese blend and I'm pretty sure there's a decent bit of provolone in there. The sauce was just right for my taste with a nice hint of garlic. I had the opportunity to sample several different beers, all of which were quite good. The beers tend toward lighter styles and correspondingly lower ABV, which was fine with me since this was a stop between work and home. Diamondback does not offer beer flights but the bartenders kindly offered me 8-oz pours since they could see I was a first timer. Diamondback is a bit off the path for my usual travels so I'm not sure when I'll be back, but I heartily recommend if you're in the Locust Point area For f read more

Good pizza and good beer!! A good place to grab some delicious pizza and drinks. Staff are nice and welcoming. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. We came here specifically to watch the Ravens game and it was a pleasant place to watch the game and get some good food and drinks. Another plus is they have plenty of parking here!! read more

Diamondback brewery is actually a pretty cool vibe. I don't drink, so I didn't indulge in their many options, but my group was impressed with many of their selections. I, on the other hand, was impressed with the pizza. They had a variety of options and it was pretty tasty. Service was great efficient and effective on my visit as well. The outside area was definitely a highlight. It was cooler outside than on the inside on hot day, and decor is very nice. Good for a celebration or just to sit outside and relax after work. I do have some concerns about the brewery cat. I know many breweries have cats, but they don't usually serve food. The was on the counters and all around the inside shop, and it gave me the heebie geebies as far as cleanliness goes with food. read more

Good selection of beers with really great looking food (we didn't grab any this time), but nothing super intriguing except their barrel aged options (rye barrel aged barleywine and barrel aged Baltic porter). We stopped by quickly to grab a beer each and got three but loved the Ostend Sundays (pineapple blonde) which was awesome for the super hot day. Inside is small but plenty of seating. Outdoors has a ton of seating! There are some trees but it can be very hot. Service was super friendly and low key. There are a ton of events Also, there's a brewery cat. 5 star cat - Inky is an adorable and friendly mouser! read more

The staff allowed a cat into the bar, which promptly hopped up on the bar and started cleaning itself. They placed a cushion on the bar and the cat laid on it the entire time we were there. This is a health code violation in Baltimore and probably everywhere. I don't care how you feel about cats, they don't belong on table or bar tops in a public restaurant. read more

Came here on a summer Friday for the live music 5:30-7:30 and it was great! Amazing band and amazing crowd. Tons of people brought their dogs and kids which made it such a great environment. I know this is a beer spot but I come for the pizza! They have this new Blackberry pizza which seems to just be an August special but it was PERFECT. Basically a charcuterie board on pizza. read more

Delicious beer and pizza. We enjoyed the sours, IPAs, pale ales, and the farm house ale. Our pizza cus out quick. It cost $18. It was a seasonal one with three meats. It was yummy and I loved that the crust wasn't too thin. They had nice indoor and outdoor spaces to sit. The bartenders were all kind and let me try beers before deciding. Some of the chairs outside were on their last legs. read more

Excellent beer and pizza. Great staff. They have a darts room that is open only on Thursdays from 6 PM to close. There is a casual darts league - walk-ins are welcome to play, just try throwing some darts (there are darts available you can use, or bring your own steel tip darts) or just hang out and get a feel for the place. Everyone in the league is super nice and welcoming. read more

My amazing staff got me a gift card here and with the kid off at camp, my DH and I finally made it by. They had a sour on tap which makes me happy. The DH has much more diverse tastes and tried a couple things. We started with the cheese plate. Massive hunk of Gouda plus bread and tasty jam from Atwater's. Delicious. We got the Mexican street corn pizza to share. Some good heat and great flavors. Perfect amount for two people. Service was great. I wish we lived closer bc we would totally hang out here more often. Very chill and family friendly too. read more

Great place for a relaxing couple drinks and food. Pizza was outstanding. Beer was good. Would go back in a second.

Delicious little hidden spot. The boy said he was craving pizza. We went to a place that was right down the road that ended up being too fancy for what we wanted tonight, pulled up a map and this is the first thing we saw so we headed there. Perfect. A lot of self serve items like 2 go boxes and water which was perfect. I wanted to get in and get out. read more

the short - located behind a business area in Baltimore, Diamondback Brewing offers unique craft beers, a pleasant outdoor area, and a pizza oven that churns out impressive pies. details - Diamondback Brewery offers some classic takes on IPAs and light beers, but also offers unique profiles on certain craft styles like ales and sours that were very good (and as far as I know not widely offered in cans). I'd recommend trying those if you're into that sort of thing. The service staff was very friendly and accommodating and made great recommendations for us. The indoor space seemed kind of small for unpleasant weather days, but the outdoor space offers a ton more space for the nicer days. For food options, they have a pizza oven going with a selection of different pies and it's very good (it's not some defrosted pizza situation going on). It's a legit pizza oven and I believe they source or make their dough in a special way that makes the crust delicious. I love when a brewery adopts the pizza oven model and does it right and that's what's going on here. In summary - great beers, great pizza, and a cool spot to check out read more

My second time visiting, this visit was for another "Bmore self-made Brewery Tour' to utilize my DC Pub Pass (free beer at select breweries). I had forgotten how complicated locating the brewery's parking was- I had to do a few uturns before finding a 2hr limit spot in the nearby business hub. Once parked, a short walk away from the brewery, walking up gave very welcoming vibes- as they have a very atmospheric outdoor seating area with lots of seating options. They offered a decent variety on draft, with helpful bartenders allowing samples to find my preference for a full pour. I thought all 3 IPAs had too similar of taste profiles, nothing really stuck out. I settled on their base Green Machine IPA, which had a good hop crisp haze. We also split a pepperoni pizza (very fluffy mildly oven charred dough- honestly a bit greasy w. minimal sauce- helped appease the hunger but wouldn't proactively order again) Overall, an average visit- I'm more inclined to buy cans to 'Untap at Home'. mainly because 1.brewery draft prices 2. they don't allow outside food in, which isn't bring our kids to brewery friendly. but if you want a nice relaxing day on a gorgeous patio in Baltimore, I would recommend. read more

Brews, babes & Baltimore! What other way to enjoy the warmer weather than to grab a cold brew and sit outside! Unfortunately for us, the warmer weather subsided after a while. We decided to come here after work for a quick beer or two. I'm not an avid beer drinker, but the pizza wheeled me in. Luckily my friend was able to get a table for all 6 of us! Ordering is pretty simple- there's a QR code (typical nowadays) which you scan and just order and pay from. The literal meaning to contactless. I ordered the: Green Machine: 3/5; mainly because that's what all the Yelp reviewers raved about. It was definitely on the heavier side. Zlaty: 4/5; my friend ordered this one. He said I would've liked this one better and he wasn't wrong. This was a light beer! Caprese: 4.5/5. Let's be honest, the real reason why I decided to come! This had potential! Since the weather decided to get colder throughout the evening, so did my pizza. I can only imagine how delicious this would've tasted right out of the oven. We all got a little chilly and decided to migrate inside, which they accommodated easily. I'm knocking this review down a star because the service was meh. My friend ordered a pizza and it took almost an hour for it to arrive! Not sure what took so long. We had to go ask them about 2-3x where her pizza was! The pizza should've been on the house at that point. Other than that, the exterior is very aesthetic and cute! Definitely would want to check this out again once the weather gets warmer! read more

Diamondback Brewing is worth a visit & part of your rotation. Beer & pizza, who can't resist. The beer was great, even took a six-pack home. The pizza was delicious. The dough was chewy and soft, the sauce was tasty and the toppings were delicious. My companion has a soy allergy and was able to eat the pizza without issue. Also took a pie home and it was gone in no time. Note: It's hidden and your map app might send you to the rear but if you drive around you'll find it. Parking might be an issue if its packed but its worth the visit. read more

Have visited diamondback many times as it's just a perfect local spot for drinks and a bite! Tucked behind a more industrial building and the sports fields of Mchenry row, this place might be a bit difficult to find if you don't know to look for it! However, the location has ample parking which is a major perk in this area. The patio is massive, which is great because you rarely need to worry about not getting a table. It's super cute with twinkle lights overhead, and live music on occasion. The interior is on the smaller side but warm and cozy with their pizza oven going behind the bar! If you choose to grab a table, you order at the bar and they deliver your food and drinks to your table. The beer menu has some staples and then rotates seasonal specials, which I always enjoy trying. The food menu is limited to pizzas and salad, but they have a good selection of different types of pizza that change seasonally. I really like white pizza and they always have several options for me to choose from! I love the pizza as it's always fresh out of the oven. Their hours for food are somewhat limited and hard to follow. Just be aware, don't go late in the evening hoping for a pizza with your beer! read more

Awesome place for pizza and drinks. (in the top five in B-more) The crew was friendly but Inky stole the show. Cool vibe and history.

Stopped in before our cruise. Great pizza and beer combos! The "house cat" Inky rules

Food was great. Awesome pizzas. Great atmosphere. Perfect venue for our casual group get together.

One of my favorite craft breweries in the area . . . . and now they've added really great pizza (SCORE!). Occasionally I end up at a craft breweries where the gotten a little over creative (Don't get me wrong . . . . please put as much chocolate, peanut butter, or orange in my beer as you like.) or the have engeneered the foam out of beer (By "engineered" I mean the haven't quite gotten the hang of making beer yet.). But Diamondback does it right! I have yet to have a bad beer. If I had one complaint it would be that they are TOO innovate. They change what's on tap so often often that when I find myself craving one of their beers it's always gone by my next visit. But that's alright because I always find something else to crave. Speaking of craving . . . . PIZZA! Their pizza is awesome, and I cant wait to go back! read more

Diamondback is the perfect place for a late summer/early fall hang out with groups large and small. They have a great outdoor seating area with lights and occasional live music. The food is pizza and beer, but not any old pizza and beer. Despite it being a brewery, their pizza is definitely what keeps us coming back. The menu has seasonal items and if you come during the fall, I highly recommend the Autunno pizza- perhaps my favorite pizza of all time! It's thinly sliced Brussels, prosciutto, balsamic glaze, and so delicious. You really can't go wrong with any of the pizzas! The cheesy bread is pretty good. You can ask for a cup of marinara dipping sauce for $1. Blood orange IPA- very forward with its citrus notes and we appreciated that is was tart and not subtle at all. Highly recommend it, and would definitely get it again. Coconut lager was also not subtle with the coconut, but it didn't really work with the lager flavor. Definitely less impressive and probably wouldn't get it again. read more

I'm a big fan of this little hidden brewery. It squeezed between two apartment buildings in Locust Point/McHenry Row, and has great outdoor space. They are dog friendly, have great beers AND pizza, and the staff is always super helpful and nice. Their IPA, Green Machine is one of my favorite local IPAs. Definitely give it a try. They have large outdoor couches that can sit large groups of friends, or one time we asked to join a smaller group and made new friends! COVID: They are open, but seating is limited to outside only and they are allowing less people. You also have to order your drinks and food at the front and pick it up there too. But it's not bad and I've gone twice during COVID and have been happy with both experiences. read more

Went there the weekend they opened and have been a regular customer since. Their hazy IPAs are very good. I am not a big lager drinking, but based on the complexity of what they offer I wouldn't be surprised if those are good as well. My primary reason for taking off a star is that the value and service can be a bit poor. Faced with the option of getting a 4pk to go vs. staying I will typically go. Obviously dining in should cost more as you take up space and require more service, but their service is patchy and I would rather use that extra money to get some snacks and take them home. The one caveat to this is if you are planning to get food as well. Diamonback's pizzas are AMAZING! I know I eat a lot of pizza, and I am generally positive about it, but the pizza here is some of the best in the city. It isn't cheap, and portions are not huge, but the quality is off the charts. The closest thing I would compare it to locally is the pizza at Hersh's. read more

Word on the street is that the pizza is pretty good. I actually only came to meet friends but didn't get anything (not a big drinker). Service was quick even though the place was packed.

Spent the evening listening to our son-in-law's band and enjoying good weather on the patio. It is a cool place. Good beer. I had a lager that was refreshing. Nothing else really available so my wife had a cider. She said it was also refreshing. There were some non-alcoholic drinks in the cooler. Pizza was great. A good selection. We enjoyed every slice. read more

Diamondback is located near the Harris Teeter at McHenry Row, but isn't exactly noticeable as it's behind a school, and also downstairs from a courtyard outside an apartment building. I had to ask how to get to it. Once inside, the smell of hops was almost overpowering, but it was too chilly to go back outside. The interior is fairly dark and rustic, kind of brewery interior design 101. Diamondback doesn't sell flights which is fairly annoying. How am I supposed to try ALL the beers without getting drunk??? I was with a friend and we ended up splitting pours of the available beers, so about 6 beers. We liked 1/2 of them, drank them, and avoided the rest after the initial sips. I like beer so I'm sure I'll return when they've got other brews on tap and when it's warm so I can sit outside. read more
