    Knotty Pine is your typical dive bar, nondescript but clean. I was able to sit right away at the bar, just inside the front door. The bartender immediately greeted me and the folks I was with and got us menus. I was super hungry but not in the mood for bar food, so I went with the shrimp stir fry, asked for it extra spicy if possible. I was super excited about it, especially once it arrived, it looked so good! I couldn't wait to dig in. And man, that stir fry tasted like it has been cooked in pancake syrup. It was SO SWEET, not anything I was trying to eat for an entree. Now, I ended up eating all of it because I was hungry, but that was a huge fail for me. Wasn't even remotely spicy. Otherwise, customer service was great. Really enjoyed the energy from the staff there. Would return, but need to pick something else to eat.

    I'm gonna be totally honest.... our server made us all feel very awkward! But If you can get past this - the food was good. The "flatbreads" are with lavish wraps BTW so they're not super filling but have good flavor. Apparently don't order the cocktails or anything like that I asked to order a Cosmo and he made me list off the ingredients like it was a hard ask lollll

    Seafood linguine special

    Knotty Pine is one of our fave neighborhood spots. Food is always good and I always look forward to their weekly specials. This time I got the seafood linguine which was just as good as similar dishes I've gotten at true Italian restaurants. I love that the vibe is low key but also has amazing food and drinks.

    Perfectly acceptable Venue for a meal and a beer or two Good menu selection, attentive staff, good pricing Worth a visit if you're in Baltimore for a cruise as we are.

    Portobello and black bean burger with horseradish Mayo spinach and onions. Good flavor.

    Wanted to give them a try as I've been seeing their posts on Facebook recently. Wednesday's we're $20 for two burgers and a 6 pack beer. The food was simple but tasty and just what I wanted. The chips that came with the burger were homemade and had a great crunch but were way too salty. We got a make your own and the veggie burger. Both good. I hadn't been here before but I'm looking forward to supporting this local bar in the future.

    Great place to stop on a bike ride. I was solo on this one. Hung outside under tent & enjoyed a nice brew. Another place that makes city living so cool. Looking forward to another visit soon. I will bring my biking partner next time. Maybe order some wings.

    Weekly Specials.. you can never go wrong at the Knotty Pine.

It's so wonderful to come across genuine people who are funny and kind in this world. Our server and the owner were so fun and so funny and so nice. It truly felt like visiting a friends restaurant. The vibes are homey, almost feels like a library but not quite, very cozy very comfy. Food: Tomato Mozarella, this was my two fav things in one. Tomato and burrata/mozarella, and prosciutto and melon. Delicious. 10/10. Prawns: so good, so flavorful, and I typically am not a shrimp/prawn girl. Skirt Steak: this was such a juicy and moist (sorry) steak. I don't like chimmichurri (cannot spell that omg) but it was good! The fries were also a winner. Moroccan Hen: this felt like a cookout bbq to be honest but in the best way. It's super flavorful, very smoky, and SO juicy. Drinks: watermelon marg, orange espresso cocktail, and I cannot remember the blue drinks name but all delicious. I fear this is my fav espresso martini to date. Dessserts: the Poe's nest and the Ruby & Emerald. Delicious. No notes.

    Highlight of my summer restaurant week dinner experiences last month. I went right at 5:00 so…read moreparking was easy and the restaurant was just opening so I was seated right away. The drink menu did not tickle my fancy so I ended up just having water. The restaurant week menu was a good selection of their regular menu items so it was an opportunity to try something that I could get again. I opted for the tuna as an appetizer, the whole branzino as my entree, and the zalabia for dessert. Everything was delicious! I would have liked the tuna to be more chilled; it came out closer to room temp. I have no notes for the bronzino. It was perfectly cooked, I really love the time and orange, the olive tapenade was the right amount of salty and briny, and the accompanying roasted harissa potatoes were fantastic. I guess if I had any critique it would be of the too skinny and woody asparagus. The dessert was something I'd never heard of, something like Mediterranean donuts. I really love the pistachios and the I think pomegranate sauce (it wasn't described on the menu so Im guessing), but the addition of chocolate was completely unnecessary and I'm not just saying that because I don't like chocolate lol. After dinner me and my dining companion went upstairs to the speakeasy for a cocktail. I was hoping they had a different drink menu and they did! This menu was much more interesting to me and I ended up getting a a well-balanced gin cocktail. I just read that they are closing to relocate so I'm hoping that I'll be able to go again soon.

It's not very…read morebig, feels a little crampy, dingy, in a rustic neighborhood you wouldn't think had anything worthwhile. Then you find out about this hole in wall spot. My friend said I had to come here. We did. As soon as we stepped out of the Uber the adventure began. The building is so out dated but the entrance door held its charm. Neon lit Edgar portrait reading from a book his Annabel Lee. Complete with a bouquet of flowers. To the right more words of the writer surrounded with a few tables and chairs for those willing to chill in the cold. Inside was no different. Several crows, skulls everything you'd expect. And a well stocked bar. Many writings on the wall, articles, awards, etc all added to the vibe and theme. And of course dimly lit but you could still read the menu. We were guided to the back for our party of 5, in a corner away from everyone else. That made it easy for us to converse as we perused the menu exclaiming this and that of the dreadful names used and deathly ingredients mixed in. It definitely made it more appetizing. After working all day I was ready for a drink and settled on the To Isadore; gin, lavender syrup, lemon squeeze topped with segura cava. That hit the spot. Unfortunately, I had eaten quite a bit on this trip and forced myself to order the Chef Salad. Nothing more to say there. My wife, though, ordered the seafood lasagna. Never had that and it didn't sound like something I could get into. I was wrong. This is Baltimore. The seafood here is astounding. It was delicious and had to take a couple spoon fulls. My friend ordered the double beef patty burger. I was jealous until he offered me a bite. That was really good too, and juicy. If you're looking for an experience and are not too afraid you may want to visit Annabel's. I do recommend it and do insist coming after the sun has been well down.

    This place is pretty chill. Evolved dive, has some ambiance…read more I was pleased with the beer selection and ordered a craft variety. Additionally I went with the meatloaf for my entree. Both beer and entree were really good and I'm looking forward to my next visit where I'll try another entree out (or maybe have the meatloaf again, TBD!).

It's what you do1 and this led to me discovering just how much of a certifiable beer haven Max's is! For a Philly comparison I'd put Max's on the same caliber as Glory Beer Bar and Kitchen but with a beer bible on the same scale as Monk's. It's been a beer haven for going on four decades and it shows with their 100+ rotating taps, 1000+ bottles & cans, a 4 casks that feature plenty of local Baltimore brews alongside the finest from Belgium, Germany, and then some! They even have seasonal special events like a Sour Beer Fest in June, and a Rare & Obscure Beer Weekend in October. The bar interior was classic food, with a huge main bar that showcased the many brew and spirit options. The bartenders were also spot on with their service and spot on beer suggestions. For food being so close to the waterfront had me craving some seafood, and the rockfish sandwich delivered with its Chesapeake seasoning and remoulade dressing. Each day of the week has a beer special at Max's, and Thursday meant that I was enjoying a discount on full pint cask pours. I liked that Max's had transparent pricing available for 4 oz to large pours and growlers to go on their menu for each and every draft beer, and the 4 oz pours made it easier to enjoy the 11% abv barleywine beer from a Baltimore brewery that I was curious about without feeling some extra inebriated repercussions during my ghost tour. It was extra details like that which had me really enjoying Max's and dubbing it a must visit for any beer lover visiting Baltimore.

    Avoid this place if you are visiting or just new to Baltimore. They do not like outsiders. The…read moreordering process here is ridiculously stupid. The beers are listed by number, but nobody tells you that you're supposed to order that way. I ordered a beer by its actual name, and the bartender acted like I was an idiot for not knowing their system. And nowhere in the restaurant or on the menu does it explain how to order. And numerous other people were doing the same thing. How hard is it to make a sign and/or update your website/menu? On top of that, even if you have a table, you still have to go up to the bar to order. When the place is busy, it's a complete shitshow. You're fighting through a crowd just to get a drink while your table sits empty. Whoever came up with this ordering system clearly doesn't care about being easy to do business with. Terrible setup, and the male bartender Roberts's attitude made it even worse. Our group consisted of two bank CEO's, a law enforcement officer and a senior executive in investment banking. We'll take our wallets and business somewhere else on football Sunday.

We were also happy to learn that they do save tables nightly for walk-ins, if you are a table of two like us you can probably snag a spot on any given night. Our table wasn't quite ready so we ordered drinks at the bar. I had an outstanding Crush (strawberry rhubarb was the flavor of the day) and my husband ordered the Dad's beer on ice (local lager, clamato, lime, hot sauce, chili rim. You can also make this the 'Step-Dad' by adding a shot!) As per usual, we ordered a few things and shared it all. I absolutely adored the Chilled Tomato Gazpacho, it was so flavorful.

The meal (and the menu, honestly) itself is generally heavy and rich, so if you're into that you will probably like this place a lot! I'd definitely order something to break up the richness as they offer sauerkrauts or pickles of different variations. The service was just OK and the server forgot to check in on us a few times (until the bill came, tbh) however was talking a lot to a table nearby us. Which is totally fine but it was noticeable in a small restaurant.

Although I was disappointed with the lack of Knicks support lol, we had a great time. My friend ordered the nachos, and I had a pizza. With it being a busier night, we opted to sit outside.

We were seated in the upstairs area which where it has 2 bars , order thru the bartender and the food came within 15 mins or so. Vibe is lovely, music on jammin to Bon Jovi and others . And I love the fact it goes out to outdoor seating area with beautiful views. Oh you can also come straight outside if you have your pup with you! Now onto the food, drinks were delicious, my niece cucumber mint mocktail was so refreshing too. And my white chocolate martini was so good! Onto the food, we got whipped ricotta (yummy!) , crispy chicken littles (pretty good), and crispy chicken fried rice. Now on this one, gotta stay I wasn't expecting 2 chicken legs and fried rice... but more chicken, though for the taste, a little bit too salty and mush to my liking . Some people may like it but I'll most likely be ordering something else next time.
