    House Salad *
    Ellaine J.

    Guilford Hall: Profs & Pints I went to the Profs & Pints event that's hosted at Guilford Hall. So this is a 2 in 1 review. Food: Black Garlic Truffle fries: really great balanced flavors. My only complaint is the fries could've been a little crispier but that could be due to the long line of orders, it may have been waiting under the lamps because the kitchen is filling orders for both upstairs and downstairs. The truffle sauce was like an earthy, Smokey bbq sauce. I really enjoyed the flavor. Reuben Eggrolls - BOMB! So juicy, perfectly fried. I tried it with and without the house mustard sauce. It's good on its own but the mustard sauce kicks it up a notch. I've seen so many versions of cheesesteak Eggrolls, crab egg rolls, etc it's done to death in my opinion. But a REUBEN EGGROLL ?? amazing, that's the innovative thinking I like to see. And if you don't like grilled Reuben's .... Grow up House salad: I added grilled shrimp and the house creamy ceaser dressing. The shrimp was grilled perfectly, great flavors, not too salty or over seasoned. Just right. The dressing was a solid Caesar dressing and same for the salad itself. A solid house salad. I love the new menu design, so much more elevated and well thought out. If you're not a beer drinker or don't know a lot about beers, the menu provides you with recommended beer pairings for each item. They also have a new chef. I loved the old chef, I had so many personal faves on the menu so I was a little bit hesitant. But I'm intrigued about some of the new items they've added to the menu. And although I've only tried a few things tonight, I'd say so far so good. I'll be back. Ambiance: Guilford Hall is honestly a hidden gem. The venue and architecture is gorgeous. You have the main restaurant downstairs and the event space upstairs. They host so many different events as well so I would recommend checking out their events page. Service: I'd they the service was the only gripe I had. And I don't mean the servers themselves, They're great and work very hard. My gripe is with the lack of adequate staffing for the event. They only had two servers taking orders for a very full event. So unfortunately it took a long time to get your order taken. You can order at the bar but the bartenders always insist that you order at the table, which again can take forever, so people go to the bar ...... lol it's a losing game. So I'd say get there at the very beginning before the venue fills up and get your food order in or don't go on an empty stomach like I did Now for the event itself. If you've never been to profs & pints I highly recommend. There's so many interesting topics to choose from. Speaker: Dr. Todd B. Kashdan Topic: The Science of Curiosity He was a very personable and engaging, and had great delivery with the perfect balance of insight and humor. He incorporated break out sessions to encourage the audience to interact with the people at their tables. It's open seating so great for connecting with strangers. I loved his perspective. He had great presence and took a relaxed/humble yet confident approach to public speaking. A key take away for me is to remember to turn your curiosity inward without judgement. Like what would you if no one was watching and you weren't thinking about what other people think. Your initial impressions of people are often wrong and you close the door too quickly. Assuming perspective instead of getting someone's perspective because you're seeing this as a representation of one monolithic idea as opposed to understanding who they actually are. This was in relation to a question someone asked about Race and who defines what is vs what things could actually be. And how when we have more of these conversations instead of avoiding them that leads to a more open world with less isms, bullying, prejudice, etc. All in all a great night. I highly recommend.

    We had a bit of time before our visit to the Edgar Allen Poe museum so we decided to stop at Guilford Hall. We loved the atmosphere, the beer and the food. The service was great (friendly and attentive). We sat outside on a beautiful day and couldn't have enjoyed it more.

    Dined at the bar Thursday night for #LobsterNight and Bartender Joshua took great care of us. He was attentive, informative and ensured we got exactly what we needed. Definitely recommend if in the Mt. Vernon/Charles Street area. They have alot of events coming up for the holiday szn

    I really wanted to like this place but the longer I think about it, the more I need to express my experience here. A couple of friends and I visited this place to attend a lecture (Profs & PInts) which was being held in their upstairs space. We entered and someone came over to greet us. I explained why we were there and that we wanted also to eat. (This is important later.). We were led to a nearby table. Menus were distributed and after a good while of not having anyone come back to the table, we tried to use their QR code system for ordering but that wasn't working. We flagged someone down and placed our order for drinks and food. Our food eventually showed up (not all at the same time) and my mixed drink was not delivered to the table until after my meal. All the while, we notice people going upstairs to the lecture and start getting worried about seating for us up there. One of us said something to a gentleman that appeared to be a manager of some sort and he came back and told us he had placed a 'reserved' sign on a table for us upstairs so we could finish our meal and not worry. Paying our check was also an issue because then the employee gave us an attitude when some of us paid through our phone and some did not. When we finally got upstairs, we realized that we could have gone up there to begin with, grabbed a table and had our meal upstairs as there was a full wait staff up there. Especially since we had made it known that was our intention. I may come back to this place for another lecture but I'll go directly upstairs. But probably not.....the food was not that enough to draw me back.

    Came here with a vegan friend and I will say, there are not many vegan options so we decided to get Pommes Frites. When our server gave us our french fries it was an incredibly small portion which I somewhat expected as it was a side dish, but still not enough for even one person alone. The fries came with a lavender ketchup and garlic aïoli. I had to ask what the sauces were and if they were vegan, the server got a bit sassy and asked me ketchup is vegan, isn't it? I had to clarify that I was asking more so about the aïoli. Although the aïoli tasted good, way better than the lavender ketchup which I thought was a bit strange, he could've mentioned that the sauce was not vegan. Also, the fries were a bit cold when we got them. We did sit in the beer garden, where they are dog friendly. It did take some time for the servers to come out, so service was a bit slow. I also got a flight of 6 beers ($15) and noticed that there was some dirt on one of the rims of the glasses I had to ask for a new glass. Indoors is nice. The bathrooms are clean and gender neutral. There is also limited street parking.

    Food was extremely underwhelming. Server doesn't tell us what which food is. The pickled cabbage was so disappointing as a side. I literally didn't even know what it was. The lamb kofta sliders were dry and chewy and super overpriced for $17. I would not come back. The menu online and in person were different. I'm also unsure as to why we couldn't get seated upstairs. It was so quiet on the ground floor.

    We are new to town and wanted to check out this brewery which is close to where we live. The bar was full so we were seated at a table. Our server was friendly and attentive. They have a nice beer selection. I tried the dopplebock and my bf tried the Czech Ruby lager; we both enjoyed them. My bf ordered a burger and fries. I tried some of his fries which were really good. They were well prepared and seasoned and the best part was their unique cherry lavender ketchup. Very tasty. I tried a bite of his burger as well. It had a nice char and I liked the bun. It was a bit on the dry side for my preference, but he ordered it well done so that's to be expected. I'd probably go for medium or medium well. I also think a sauce to pull it together would be nice, but still a tasty and large burger. The inside is large with generous seating and I wandered out to the bier garden which was super cute with more seating. I bet Oktoberfest is a blast here. Overall, I'm happy to have found this brewery in town and will return.

    Stopped in the other night for dinner with my daughter. This is a very large and beautiful location with free street parking if you can find a spot. Beer hall German style vibe. Our waiter who was also the bartender was extremely nice but pulled thin between his tables and the bar. I decided to try the Chicken Schnitzel and my daughter got the chicken tenders. On the website they offer a kids menu but there wasn't any options on the actual menu. Which I don't know if is on a separate menu option but we weren't offered one. She ordered it anyway and it wasn't an issue. My schnitzel and her tenders looked and tasted exactly the same. Never had schnitzel like this and it just wasn't flavorful at all. It came with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. I asked to switch the brussel sprouts with asparagus. I was never told it would be an up charge so that was a surprise. Vegetable for vegetable switch I wouldn't think there would be. Also my plate came out with both vegetables instead of the mashed potatoes. When I brought it up he went back to the kitchen to say something and they had him come back out and say they were out and would I like fries instead. Why wouldn't that have been relayed to me to start with? Besides the bad food they do have a nice size merch section, I got a pint glass to take home for the collection but I honestly would never return. Very disappointed.

    Guilford Hall Brewery reminds me of an upscale restaurant which happens to have beer. It really is a brewery though. They brew right on the premises. It is a spacious venue, with a bar, high tops and regular seating. The bathrooms are unisex, they are labeled "WC" like in Europe for water closet. The service was grand. My server Yvette was the best part of my visit here. So, if you like Stevie Wonder, you will love it here, because on my visit Saturday mid day, it was Stevie Wonder on repeat. The beer here is hit or miss. There were two beers which were absolutely awful, see beer notes below. Overall though, the beer was decent. I could drink here again, but would not go out of my way to find this place. The BEER: Conspiracy dark lager 4% ABV... I really like this dark lager, it is a totally all day crushable beer Hefeweizen 5.1% ABV... it is a hefe, good. Vienna 4.6% ABV... One note, just meh, a very average Vienna Lager?, the taste seemed not quite done, or slightly off, has a popcorn flavor, not good, diacetyl? British IPA 6.1% ABV... imagine an ESB, but hoppy with citrus notes, piney, finishes with a pepper bite. This is quite good. Czech Ruby Lager 4.7% ABV... nope, yuck, sounded good in theory, tasted awful Belgian Golden 8.5%... this is quite good. A perfect Belgian Golden. My favorite on this visit. So historically, Baltimore is known for craft beer, and in the 90s it was one of the only places to get craft beer. I would not recommend Guilford Hall Brewery if you want a great craft beer experience. Not sure how the food is, but there beers were quite average, with some exceptionally awful.

    I'm going to go ahead and get right to it. Guilford Hall Brewery is the place to be. If you love good service, good food, and a variety of beers to choose from, I would highly recommend that you give Guilford Hall Brewery a try. In short, I had a train to catch, but I had a few hours to kill. I was hungry and needed a bit that was quick but enjoyable; I did a quick search and found Guilfords, which was just a few blocks away from the Amtrack station. I'm so glad I did. When I arrived, I was greeted by the friendliest host (a brother), who welcomed me in. From that moment on, the top-notch service was sustained and ongoing. I sat at the bar, and my bartender was gracious enough to let me try a few options before I made my selection. I went with an ale and grabbed some of the best wings I've had in a very long time. Of course, I had some sweet potato fries for gold measure. The sauce served over the crispy wings was out of this world. I can't say it enough: give Guilford Hall Brewery a try; those wings are everything!!!

    Attended a "Fright Night Brunch" and had a nice time. The establishment is spacious and the servers and staff were friendly. Parking can get a little crazy, especially if there's an event or a big crowd so keep that in mind. Mostly street parking. Drinks were a little on the small side for an average of $15 each and the food was ok. A little under seasoned on the chicken for my liking and the waffles were a bit sweet. Enjoyed the fresh fruit and the breakfast potatoes. The upstairs space is very large! Perfect for dancing & mingling. Cool spot.

    Personable staff, low wait times, background music was loud enough to have a Convo, the beer tasted great and the food was made with love and consideration. I will be back with the homeys

    I came here for a happy hour event. I enjoyed the atmosphere and food overall. GLOWS: -The grilled chicken panini was a highlight. I had to order another for lunch the next day. - The wings were pretty tasty as well. -The outdoor space is very nice. The indoor/outdoor vibe of the bar area was very comfortable, even on a chilly night. The inside seemed quite nice too. GROWS: - The kitchen was very backed up, but the team worked hard to get food out to guests. -The steak frites was a bit dry and a very small portion for the price.

    There is usually enough street parking in front of the resturant or around the corner. On weekends they also offer valet parking.

Jolanta also was so helpful in encouraging us to hire a photographer and music for our event that were both affordable and really added to the party.

It can be completely hit or miss depending on who your bartender is. And last night I witness a truly disrespectful interaction between my friend who is a WOC and one of the bartenders. I understand having a limited drink menu, but each time my friend asked for a recommendation she was responded to as if she had just spit in that woman's face. The final straw was when my friend said, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with most of these drinks. What do you have that is sweet?" asking for a recommendation. The bartender looked at her and said "sugar" then rolled her eyes so hard I'm surprised they didn't get stuck in the back of her head.

The bartender was solo up until it turned into a cash bar -- she was working really hard! The music was at a great volume, and food was being passed around regularly. It's really a great space for having a private party. And on top of that, while it can fill up quickly, there's free street parking outside. I do wish the bathroom was lockable -- the stall within there is, but otherwise things could get awkward. Pro tip -- it's behind the stage.
