I ordered a Black & Bleu Burger with fries for pickup, and overall, the experience really missed…read morethe mark for me. The service was awkward from the start. I called to place the order, and the guy couldn't hear me. When I called back, there was silence on the line until I said "hello" a few times, followed by a blunt "Yeah, what can I do for you?" slightly off-putting, but I placed the order. When I arrived, the place was empty and looked clean. The food was ready, and I was in and out quickly. As for the food: The Fries: These were excellent. They were hot, well-seasoned, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. I really enjoyed them. The Burger: This was the letdown. I got the Black & Bleu, and while the toppings (bleu cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, brioche bun) were fresh and tasty, the meat itself was lackluster. They looked like two smash patties, but they had zero crust and absolutely no seasoning. No salt, no pepper, nothing. Honestly, if it weren't for the toppings, the burger would have been hard to eat because the meat was just plain and bland. I ate it because I was hungry, but for a "Pub and Ale House," the burger really needs to be seasoned properly. Between the awkward service and the flavorless patties, I can only give it 2 stars.

A Maryland legend, Irv's in Pasadena the last legal basement bar in Maryland!…read more As you'd guess it is located in the basement of Irv's home. He's had the home since I believe the 1940s and the biz has been open since the 50s or 60s. Irv is also the only bartender and single handely has run the place for decades. If you were in Greek life like myself you'll feel right at home -- the basement feels like a frat house (in the best way). With bras on the ceiling and plenty of MD decor, it's got a vibe that to me feels cozy! Make sure you bring cash and a good attitude and you'll have a great time!

What can I say? This is one of those places you just have to check out for yourself! Irv just…read moreturned 103 and he possesses the last residential bar liquor license around. The property is waterfront and has amazing views of the water. There is seating inside and out! While they have a pretty full bar, I always stick to the bottled beer. Not only does Irv own the place, he often is found bartending. He works harder at 103 than most other humans do at a younger age. See you again soon!

I have seen events in DC advertised as 2000s hip hop and r&b night. And I respect that and know it's not my vibe and don't bash it. Since it was advertised as that.

They couldn't serve draught beer because their lines were frozen which the server didn't inform us of until after we ordered food. It's no wonder they were frozen because it was so cold inside even the hostess was wearing her coat. The drinks we did end up ordering had no booze in them. The chicken noodle soup that was on special was incredibly salty with mushy chicken. The crab meat in the crab dip had the texture of imitation crab. The rest of the food we ordered had absolutely no flavor or was burnt. We didn't even bother finishing the food and left hungry. Overall a very disappointing experience.

The bartender/owner of this place is one of, if not, the rudest people I have ever met. She speaks to the "regulars" about other customer, yells, and is just incredibly unprofessional. I am unsure why anyone would ever come back to this place. Outside of the incredible rude woman behind the bar, the food was just okay. Nothing more than typical bar food with average prices. I don't recommend visiting unless you want to be treated poorly, ignored, and possibly belittled.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Friends of ours said we should check out…read moreTuckers so wife and I stopped in the other day around 6pm. Walked in and maybe about 10 customers with some at the bar and some at the tables. We went up to the bar grabbed a couple of seats and bartender asked what we wanted. We let her know it was our first visit to which she replied with an unenthusiastic "...welcome". That was it. I then asked what draft beer they had and she condescendingly let me know that "we don't have draft beer". Maybe it's just me but when people come into a bar that doesn't have a kitchen or draft beer for the first time the bartender/server might want to lead with those 2 tidbits of information. Also maybe 1. Since you don't have draft beer, is there other stuff you don't have that most people would think would be there? 2. How does the ordering food work with the food truck? Do we go get it ourselves or do we order inside? 3. If we're there during happy hour, which I think we were (I'm still not sure) maybe let us know what the food and drink specials are. 4. Even if we're not here during happy hour, since it's our first time there maybe you let us know when happy hours and specials are anyway for future reference. As for the rest of the visit, we got 2 beers and listened to the bartender break down boxes and complain to other staff the whole time. I guess we'll try them again now that we know the deal.

Food is okay. Ambiance is an underwhelming old paneled bar out of the 1960s--could be cool in that…read moreregard, but unfortunately it is just a shabby, completely non-diverse, locals dive bar. Service is disappointing, with the most frustrating aspect being the surprise when I went to pay my tab on a credit card, the bartender explained that "the tips can only be in cash" as she handed me my already closed-out ticket and credit card slip to sign. I asked her to explain. She stated that "it was the owner's policy". What that really means for those of us with an accounting background, is that the owner cares so little about his employees' future, and cares so little about his country and the state of Maryland, that he is deliberately hiding the tipped wages that the public provides to his wait staff/bartenders. So, at the end of each month, he deposits far less into the Maryland State Unemployment Tax account than he is required to and far less into the Federaul Unemployment Tax Account that is required. Additionally, he gets away with paying less of the employer portion of the FICA taxes. And, when the employees reach retirement age, they will have a smaller Social Security check because his illegal choice to conceal their actual earnings means their SSA account shows lower wages.

Every single person in the restaurant greeted us as soon as we walked in. Our server Nick was kind, professional, and personable. He recommended the boudin balls as an appetizer and we also ordered the deviled eggs, and both were phenomenal. I also had the Fig Fizz cocktail which had a great balanced, fresh flavor. I had the seared tuna special which was light and fresh with a flavorful pineapple salsa. The peach bread pudding was the real star of the show, it felt like a warm hug! Overall the food, service, and ambience were all 10/10. Meredith the owner checked on us and was very present, it is clear she puts a lot of care and effort into her business. We will definitely be returning!

But half way through she handed us over to the bartender, who just seemed inconvenienced that we were there. My husband had just finished a beer when she took over (which was in a can, not a tap beer), she asked if he wanted another, he said yes, and brought some draught beer that definitely wasn't what he was drinking. We are very easy going, so that wasn't even the end of the world. But she wasn't very friendly so we just went with it. The food. We ordered rockfish bites for an app, chicken pot pie, bacon wrapped shrimp & Mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out quickly. Rockfish bites: Not only were they bland & salt-less, but not all of them were cooked all the way through. The bacon-wrapped shrimp were ok, but cold in spots. The chicken pot pie: This is the reason I came. Certainly you can't mess this up, seeing how my favorite pot pie is from KFC. My standards aren't that high. I wish I could add a photo to a low review. I've never seen the inside of a pot pie that was dark gray. It didn't look appetizing at all, but it's a pot pie so I'm not basing anything on appearance. Once I took a bite I realized that it was gray because there was SO MUCH ground thyme in it. Like they dumped a whole jar in there. It wasn't even edible. The Mac & cheese was really good, I wish I had just ordered that. Before you reply that we should have said something, we already felt like we were an inconvenience to the bartender & she didn't even care enough to serve the same beer that was originally ordered. We didn't even want to deal with her. So we chalked it up as a loss. Of over $100. This place is so cute, we really loved the ambiance & wanted to love the food. We definitely won't be back, but I don't think it's going to be around much longer anyway.
