Top tier for the last 15 years for me. Hot and ready and consistent! The service is quick as I typically call in and take home. The inside is nice when you want to relax or catch a game. My typical order: 12 wings, fried hard chef style hot, double cup blue cheese hold the celery and carrots. read more

Really small on the inside. Food was good. Ordered wings, nachos, and French fries. Food tasted good. That bourbon bbq sauce was AMAZING! I would definitely buy a bottle of that sauce if the sold it. Here's why the got three stars. The service was TERRIBLE. Because it was so small, there wasn't a lot of seating. Stood over to the side to wait for a better seat at the bar for 15 to 20 min. Once a seat cleared up, the bartender told us the seats were already "saved". And by people who got there after us. Then once we got our seats at the bar to only wait another 10 min for a menu. Not the best service at all read more

For months I've been hearing how iBar has some of the best wings in Baltimore and I finally got a chance to try myself! Seating is a little limited and not the comfiest definitely gives more of a bar vibe than restaurant. That being said the staff were so friendly and our food came out super quick! I didn't take a picture but I also ordered the cream of crab soup and I LOVED it. Their drinks are reasonably priced and while I didn't enjoy any this visit I'll be back to try other menu items and definitely enjoy cocktails. read more

I visited iBar on a random Tuesday night with some friends and business was booming. They had TVs and music playing and the noise level was energetic, with usual bar chatter. After getting situated the server came over with menus. I told her it was my first time so she made some recommendations and gave me time to review the menu. After careful review I ordered honey old bay wings, a cup of cream of crab, onion rings, and a white gummy bear cocktail. The cocktail was so so and the cream of crab was not hot on arrival. I decided to push it to the side and I would just box it to take home. The wings and onion rings were my faves. I do wish the wings had more honey old bay on it . But nonetheless it was crispy and tasty. The onion rings come with honey mustard but I asked for bbq instead and it did take the server a while to bring it to my table. Other than that it was a solid experience. I definitely want to go back and try some more wing flavors. read more

They have the best chef style wings and they have on the sauce which I love. I wasn't too thrilled with the crab dip, which I'm usually is. The chef style shrimp is also a must have along with sautéed spinach. Good drinks and good vibes. Parking is difficult but worth it. The waiter had the whole downstairs and he didn't miss a beat with getting food out on time and making good drinks! read more

After years of hearing that iBar has the best wings in Baltimore, I was finally able to give them a try. Unfortunately, they simply did not live up to the hype in my opinion. Maybe the quality has changed over the years, but I wasn't not impressed. My husband and I order a large pan of the buffalo wings. While the smell really good, the taste was mid.....as the kids says. They were too wet and not fry hard enough for my liking. The staff is also rude, which seems to be a running theme here. Won't be traveling back to this shady area for bad service and just "ok" wings. read more

I was so happy to hear this place was back open so I get my chef style fried hard buffalo wings! No other place makes them quite like iBar and they were just as good as I remember from years ago. We ordered take out due to the crowded bar on Sunday evening. The food was ready in about 15 minutes and still nice and hot when we arrived home. Parking can be hit or miss since it's street parking, but you'll definitely find something if you keep circling around. If you're looking to sit in then I recommend arriving earlier in the day. It can be a great place to grab a drink and the watch the games while enjoying food. read more

We sat at the bar on a nice Friday night around 9. iBar is located in a busy neighborhood with other businesses on Maryland Avenue, not far from North Avenue. Shawn was our main bar tender and he was great. We both ordered drinks and an appetizer. The drinks were pretty good and the appetizers were pretty ok. The crab dip basically just has a layer of crab at the top, but the flavor is good overall. The calamari was fried perfectly, but it was mostly tough. It's a cool place to have drinks and food for sure. They have 2 floors of seating and the staff is all pretty good. The only issue which is out of their control, is parking. read more

The wings.. the buffalo, chefs style, fried hard wings are legit! My friend had been talking about this place for years and I finally made it. Small, chill, hang out spot. We ordered fried calamari and the Texas road house burgers, and of course the wings. I should have just ordered wings because they were so good. Everything else was good but u specifically went for the wings. Double check your drink price, I ordered an old fashioned and was asked if I wanted rail or some other bourbon (they had several brands), I can't remember the brand I got but didn't go with sygamore rye. I knew that would be way too expensive. My drink ended up costing $25 and I was a little shocked cuss.. it's an old fashioned.. nothing fancy. So just make sure to check the price differences in the types of liquor they offer ( if price matters). I'll be back for the chill atmosphere and those wings! read more

The food here is out of sight!! This spot is definitely a diamond in the rough! Outside area may not be appealing, but once you get inside to the bar area upstairs, you will be pleasantly surprised at the extensive menu. There is an option for all cuisines, Italian, Mexican, America, and vegetarian if you prefer. Service is a little sketchy at times though. But the tvs and bar atmosphere will get you through. Stop by and enjoy. read more

Finally made it to iBar. I'm probably heading back next week. Truly the wings are some of the best in the city, my sister ordered 8 to share (mild) because I wasn't that hungry. I could have eaten the entire 8 myself so that's exactly what I'll get on my next visit. We had Hennessy sidecars as our cocktails (when in Rome). The bartender did not disappoint. The pours were so heavy we only needed one each. The bartender's and patrons both are so darn friendly. Someone to the left of me that I didn't know allowed me taste his fries as soon as they came out. I'm adding those to my order next visit as well. It's small in there. I got there around 9pm on a Wednesday and there were maybe 3 seats left at the bar. Heading back soon. read more

Stopped by on a weeknight to try their buffalo wings and it did not disappoint! We got 8 wings in their medium spicy (chef style), regular fried. It was very yummy! Price was reasonable and service was lovely. We also got their honey lemon pepper wings (it's not on the menu - you can ask for it). Wasn't a big fan. This place has definitely got dive bar vibes and there was a good mixture of locals and people from other locales :) I would go back for the buffalo wings and maybe try the other menu items. The blackberry Tom Collins was boozy! read more

Some of the best wings I've had! The chef style Buffalo wings are so good! I think they add garlic and parmesan to the Buffalo sauce for the chef style and they will definitely keep me coming back for those. It's a small spot, so it's usually pretty crowded. Sometimes there's a little wait for a seat, but it's worth it. read more

Finally got my hands on some iBar wings. Every time I come in here, almost every seat is taken. On this particular day, my personal delivery driver (aka my boyfriend) was craving wings and brought some back for me. I got the buffalo wings "chef's style". Unfortunately, they were out of chef's style wings so regular buffalo wings were all they had. The wings were generously slathered in buffalo sauce and came with ranch dressing and a few pieces of celery. They were super yummy and picked clean from the bone in seconds. The buffalo were the perfect amount of spicy for me but my boyfriend got the "hot" wings and was sniffling from the heat. I'd be interested in coming back and trying more of their famous wing varieties and I've definitely gotta taste that chef's style someday. read more

Chefs wings are delicious! Salads are good as well. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Ibar came up on our radar I believe through social media. Being a wing lover, this place was rated very high so it was on my list of places to try! We have been trying to come here for several months so it was pretty exciting when we finally got the opportunity to head over this way! The area isn't the best so if you are not familiar, try to park nearby. There is street parking available. Onto the wings.. We ordered the hot buffalo sauce and it was VERY GOOD! The sauce struck a great balance of heat and vinegar. If you're not keen on spice, I did also try the medium and it was good too. While I was there, I asked for a side of the hottest sauce. As a spice lover, it was fine, definitely spicy but it was to the point that the heat did not make it an enjoyable experience. The wings were also decently sized, not too small and not grossly oversized. The prices were reasonable and the service was not bad at all. I would most definitely visit again!!!! read more

Once again, I attempted to eat at this restaurant. I saw that I had given a previous review of this restaurant for not listing their hours of operation. I was looking for a late night eatery on a Friday night. I was told that this spot has late hours. I attempted to confirm their hours online, which still isn't posted, and I called, but they didn't answer the phone. When I arrived at 11:45 pm, I was told that they close their doors at midnight and the kitchen closed at 11 pm. Ugh I guess it's not meant for me to eat here. That was my last and final attempt to support and eat from this eatery. read more

Cool bar to visit in the evening or late night with reasonably priced food and drinks. We typically like to sit in the bar area but it's not alot of space with seating and can get crowded so sometimes you may not luck up. The food is good. I inhaled my chef style wings which are my favorite I didn't get a picture of them. Service is okay, the bartenders do their best to stay on top of this demanding bar. The drinks were good as well. Definitely check this place out read more

Zero stars. Showed up they were closed. We came all the way from Jersey to try the wings. Found a parking spot paid for parking walked up to the front door and there was an office folder on the door saying. "Not taking orders " sadly we wasted our time going there and will be in town 2 more days but won't be trying this place. It literally takes 2 seconds to update your website. From the view of the one window it looked like the place wasn't well kept so we may have dodged a food poising. read more

This restaurant is like an elevated dive bar/sports bar. It's tucked away and unexpected. It's always pretty active. I went at 3pm on a Thursday, and there were many people and groups, seemingly just getting off of work. - The service was great - The food was very, very fresh. When I think of a dive bar, I think of cheap, overly processed, flash fried frozen foods, but not this place. The fries are freshly cut and taste like simple potatoes with no additives (which is important to food allergy sufferers because most foods have unnecessary additives. Would you believe most frozen fries have soy? Why? Just why? You can taste the difference between fresh and ultra-processed). The spinach in the mixed green salad was also very fresh and hearty. I just really didn't expect the quality of food to be what it was... - The service was excellent - The prices were very great, averaging $7-12 (appetizers) $12-25 (entrees) - The bathrooms were newer and clean (I feared old dirty bathrooms since it's an older looking venue, but nope! They cared to keep the bathrooms updated ) - Parking is street parking I will go back to try other items on the menu. I was surprisingly quite pleased. read more

Updated review because this place is really top tier. Everyone already knows how delicious the chef style wings are here (best wings in Baltimore, in my opinion) but you have to try the shrimp po boy out. Great option to switch it up and try out something new. It honestly came out looking like it was from an ad. Everything was so really just good and tasted fresh. Not to mention, the service was really good as well, as always. They have vegetarian options as well so there's a dish for everyone. Definitely this is a must-visit if you're in the city. read more

TLDR: The wings live up to the hype. Both Medium and Hot flavors are tasty and wing size to price ratio is great. Vibe: 3/5. Located right on Maryland Ave in Old Goucher, ibar is a small bar restaurant that includes a half dozen high tops and a sizeable bar for seating. As for location, on the day we visited police had roped off the entire block directly in front of ibar due to a body being found right up the street. This was at 4pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon, so take that into consideration for neighborhood safety. However when we walked into the bar, there were a fair amount of people hanging out as if nothing happened, so either this is a common occurrence, or the wings are THAT good! Service: 5/5. The staff at ibar was wonderful during our visit. Service from both the bar and kitchen was great. Our food and drink orders came out perfectly done and in record time. There was a small hiccup when it came to paying the bill, as the waitress gave us the wrong tab, however it was quickly resolved. Food: 4/5. Top tier buffalo wings! Ibar claims to use the same wing recipe as Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY, which many consider to be the founders of the dish. During our visit, we opted to try both their medium and hot sauced wings. You are also given the choice for level of fried doneness per each wing order, a major plus for those who like extra crunch (me). Both sets of wings came out meaty, piping hot and thoroughly sauced. Both sauces had a great flavor balance between heat, vinegar and savoriness. The spice level jump between medium and hot is decent, with hot having a substantial lingering afterburn. Upon request, we were given a sample of the hottest level sauce at Ibar, the inferno, which has added capsaicin extract to the sauce to take it to the hottest of hot. Definitely not for the faint of heart. As for the drinks, the bar has a nice selection of local drafts as well as a well priced cocktail menu, which includes the Baltimore staple fresh squeezed orange crushes. Overall, Ibar is a solid contender for best wings in Baltimore. In my opinion, I prefer longtime favorite Kisling's wings slightly over Ibar due to the more vinegar forward sauce and ginormous wing size, but only by a blonde hair. read more

iBar - Medium wings, hard fried - American Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I've visited the iBar 3 times, and their wings and long island iced tea are one point. But last year, i decided to try their chef style. It is worth the hype!!!! Their hand cut fries are so good!!! The only issue I had was that there was no social distancing. Yes, the staff had their masks on, but the ppl who dined in were literally sitting next to each other. It was like sardines in a can, which is slightly the norm during normal times, but that last visit in 2022 wasn't during normal times, sadly. read more

Tried iBar takeout for the first time tonight. Was excited to try their famous wings, but a hard time getting through on the phone, so I just went there to order. Got the Buffalo wings, chef style, fried hard, medium heat. Now this was only level 2 out of 7, and I thought it had great heat. The chef style adds garlic and Parmesan and it is a MUST!! That Parmesan sets it off, and was definitely some of the best Buffalo wings I've had!! Also tried the honey BBQ wings, and while delicious, the Buffalo wings were the clear winner! The crab dip was better than I expected, had great flavor, lots of cheese, and noticeable crab! Not quite enough bread to go with the crab dip, but that's pretty common. All in all, would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for the best Buffalo wings in town! read more

Wings are Service takes a while and you have to put in a little effort to get the staff to warm up to you. Waited probably 20 min to get service and another 20 to order... everyone was very nice after initially feeling Ignored. I'll definitely go back and give it another shot. Some of the best wings in Bmore for sure read more

Figured I give it a try. Mmmmm average at best. The two things that stood out on the good side were the White Gummy Bear drinks and the Chesapeake Quesadilla. The Old Bay wings were quite lack luster. I had to ask for extra Old Bay which I had to ask for more than once. The other thing that was bland and dry was the French Dip. The meat was dry as a bone. It was slapped on a dry toasted roll and then two small pieces of Swiss cheese over top, which didn't help the sandwich. read more

I had a serious hankering for some hood wings. It's really amazing how difficult it is locate wings prepared well. The. I remembered that awesome spot on Maryland that I used to go to on a regular basis... and that spot is iBar. IBar does not delivery so I called in the order. These are the results: 1) Spicy Honey BBQ Wings - AMAZING sauce !! It was sweet with a nice amount of heat. I loved how thick the sauce was bc I could keep rubbing the wings in the sauce. It would cling to the chicken wonderfully. These could have been perfect!!! But I believe I made a mistake in the ordering. I selected 'Chef Style' wings and to have them prepared 'Authentic'. I'm not quite sure what the difference is between 'chef' vs. 'authentic'. If it wasn't that section it may have been my choosing to have the wings prepared 'regular' vs. 'fried hard'. I just don't know which selection was my misstep but what I got were chicken parts with thick pieces of skin on them. They felt rubbery so I had to peel the skin off the chicken. Once the thick skin was removed, it was delicious. PRETTY GOOD. Could have been perfect. I'll adjust accordingly for the future. 2) Buffalo Wings: I point this out bc my dining companion opted to have his order of Buffalo wings 'fried hard'. It appears that 'fried hard' helps shrivel up and crisp the skin a bit more. Absolutely perfect texture/ consistency. Absolutely nothing needed to be done to those wings. Just DEVOUR them... yummmm!!! SCORE!!! 3) An order the hand cut French fries. These were perfectly prepared. Crispy on the outside and flaky on the interior. Yummm! SCORE!!! As usual, these wings came with that fantastically pungent blue cheese dressing for dipping & celery. SCORE!!! I'll be back and I'll get this RIGHT next time! read more

After years of trying to find the best buffalo wings in Baltimore, I've found my favorite: Station North's iBar. Nothing beats sharing a bucket of 24 medium, fried-hard, chef style buffalo wings with both ranch and blue cheese. Their unique "chef-style" is a combination of garlic parmesan and your classic buffalo, which ranges in spice level from mild to devil's blood. Normally, wings are my go-to takeout meal, so I call 20 minutes ahead and pay at pickup. However, I tried coming by to finally dine in last Saturday, and there was a sign posted on the door that said the restaurant was closed 8/18-8/26. Ended up walking to nearby Clavel for dinner instead. I was disappointed since I'm such a big fan of their wings, but I'll have to try again sometime soon. read more

Very divey, not in a great part of town, street parking available on the surrounding blocks. Wasn't immediately clear how to place my to-go order and after calling 3 times I gave up trying to place my order on the phone. I ended up just going to the end of the bar and someone there took my order. I did see them on the phone so I'm assuming their phone was working and it was just a really busy night. I got a bucket of mild regular wings with blue cheese and they were pretty darn good for a place outside of Buffalo. Next time I'll try their chef style wings but this time I just wanted the authentic ones. And my wings were ready in like 15 minutes even though the place was packed with people watching the Bills game. read more
