Every time we're in Bel Air to visit family, we have to eat at Looney's at least once. For me, it's all about the wings-the Honey Old Bay wings! We've never had a meal that was disappointing, but the wings are the star to me. While you're there, enjoy Maryland's official alcoholic beverage, (it's true, look it up!) the Orange Crush! I've enjoyed it at other places but Looney's makes the best, imho. Warning, it's loud! But if the weather isn't too hot, too cold, or too humid, enjoy eating on their lovely patio. read more

This place was one I would have recommended....until tonight. They decided to kick my friend out of the outdoor restaurant without providing a clear reason. Absolutley unjustified, and the lack of clear communication from the staff was disturbing. You made an assumption based off another customer that was being predatory and things did not turn out in their favor. The way this was handled was unnecessary and we will not be back to your establishment, and certainly will recommend to friends and other locals not to be patrons. Extremely dissatisfied! read more

Stopped here for lunch on our way back to south central PA and could not have been happier with our decision! This place had great food: all the crab cake things you could possibly want and then some and great fries. There's a large patio that has live music, a large indoor seating area with a stage, a huge bar in the middle with endless tvs, and these great screened windows that let you get fresh air while also being inside. We were seated promptly, and service was great. This would be a great spot to watch a game or to grab a meal on your way to the Baltimore stadiums. read more

I have been wanting to stop in and try so we stopped here for brunch. From the outside driving on the road you would not expect this place to be that big inside. They have an outdoor seating, a dining area and a bar area. They have loads of TVs and some games around the bar. I know this location gets wild during the evenings. We got seated right away, they had their regular menu, drink menu, a brunch menu and it looked like a game day menu. They had lots to choose from, a lot of stuff I noticed involved crab stuff. As you would imagine they have a full bar. I ordered a cran orange crush. It was good just was not as cold as I'd like it to be. Our waitress was lovely and attentive. It was not very busy as we came for brunch around 12. I ordered the OG Benedict that comes with hash browns and some peppers and onions. Usually when I get the hash browns they have the peppers and onions chopped up small. Here, they were in bigger pieces, which was fine just different. The hollandaise sauce was a little sweeter than I am use to but otherwise it was good. My boyfriend has a pulled pork sandwich with fries. He said it was good, and the fries were good as well. I'd like to try this place again for some bar food like wings and such. Otherwise we had a good experience. read more

Great food. Yard bird wings are outstanding. Wonderful bartenders, servers, and the manager, Zach is awesome ensuring an excellent experience. My only complaint is why do I need a PARKA if sitting near the stage????!!!! It's soooooooooo cold on that side of bar, I feel like a penguin in Antarctica. read more

We came in for a drink and to enjoy the live band. After finishing our drinks, we moved closer to the stage, sat at a table, and settled in to listen to the music. Staff checked on us several times asking if we wanted more drinks, which we politely declined. The stage lights were incredibly bright and repeatedly flashed directly into the audience. To deal with the glare, we occasionally put on our sunglasses. Not even three songs into the set, a bouncer came charging over and informed us that sunglasses were not allowed. No explanation. No polite request. Just an unnecessary display of authority. At no point were we drunk, under the influence, disruptive, or causing any sort of problem. We were literally sitting at a table listening to the band. The irony is that the venue seemed far more concerned about a customer wearing sunglasses for a few seconds than ensuring people were actually enjoying themselves. Apparently, in this pub, wearing sunglasses to shield your eyes from blinding stage lights is a bigger issue than treating paying customers with basic courtesy and respect. read more

Looney's Pub North - CRAB DIP PRETZEL - Sports Bars Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

Disgusting place, lacks any legitimate social aspect of a bar. Bouncers have as many brain cells as the drinks being served. Mismanagement by Megan at the fullest, zero idea what goes on in the bar. Wouldn't recommend in the slightest. Poos management, even worse ambiance. Pathetic. read more

Expired ID from March and it's April. I'm 28 years old and they still deny serving. Somehow my age is now not 28 since my ID expired. No common sense. Rude server and manager read more

Came in last night for the first time in a while for a special occasion. My fiancé ordered the Filet mignon 6oz and it wasn't even cooked or served with its original sides. I'm upset because for 28$ a 6oz Steak should be cooked and served how it's ordered she ordered medium rare and it came medium well... and instead of the potatoes they gave her plain white rice, and asparagus that didn't even look like it had been touched by seasoning or butter. I'm upset because the last time we came in 2 months ago we didn't have this issue ordering this same dish it's one of the most expensive dishes on the menu, so I was hoping it would be done right. I can't say I will be coming again in Or can recommend their food. If you plan on going only drink and be there for the atmosphere. read more

Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Atmosphere - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Food quality - 5 out of 5 I wish I could remember the name of our waitress, but she was very friendly. Professional, knowledgeable of the menu, and attentive. Much better experience dining at this location as opposed to College Park location. Restaurant was fairly crowded, but we were sat immediately by the hostess and attended to quickly by our waitress. We were watching college basketball on one of the many screens throughout the restaurant. The noise level at the restaurant was good, I could easily talk to my son with no issues. Interior and exterior of restaurant was clean. My son ordered the "Build your own" burger which was a big portion and he loved it. I ordered the Old Bay wings which are expensive due to the inflation of food prices after the pandemic and that's not the restaurants fault. Wings were crispy and not overly seasoned which was nice. With a perfect score of 25 out of 25 stars, I give Looney's Pub Bel Air an A+ rating. We plan on visiting again soon. read more

Pretty standard quality for a sports pub. Dark interior, a bunch of TVs with different sports on, and a large, but expected menu. Service was pretty slow for the pub being quiet on a Sunday afternoon. Tap water tasted a little dirty, prices were high but large food portions. Tasted good, but made me a little sick afterwards. read more

I sat outside on a beautiful day, they had someone playing guitar and singing. The waitress was awesome, very attentive but not overbearing. I had the Chicken Quesadilla and it was really good. I could tell they used fresh ingredients. I wish they would bring back the crab toast but I'll go back even if they don't! read more

Honestly better going to MaGerks Pub across the street. Staff is extremely rude and food has no taste.

This must be a primary food destination in Bel Air! Sports bar ambiance with the noise to boot. A buddy and I stopped by en route to a concert at a local music store. Parking was a challenge but we eventually landed a space. More surprising is the house was nearly packed at 1700 hours, yet we were immediately seated in the dining room and were instantly acknowledged by our waitress. Blame the busyness it on the NFL playoffs? Nope. This is typical of the house. Menu had Restaurant Week options, a Game Day option and the house menu which typical pub grub with some " elevated" options. We both ordered chili. For the main event, I ordered Looney's fish and chips and my friend ordered a "side salad". Chili was good and was plated with a huge portion of tortilla chips which could have easily been halved as both of us left about half the chips on our plates. A bit of wasteful, I think. My buddy's side salad wasn't as expected. It was a BIG SALAD and not the little plate of greens and stuff usually attributed to side salads. He couldn't finish it. My fish and chips were great and appeared to be house made and not a Sysco frozen item. I think they were beer battered and contained rockfish. The platter had a great number of fries. No problem here, but, there was an over abundance of tartar sauce. I enjoyed my Yuengling on tap yet my friend's Cabernet was pretty nasty. Overall a good but not great experience. Will consider a return visit when visiting the zip code. read more

Very disappointed on Inauguration Day. Went in for lunch anticipating hearing the President's speech and management would not agree to turn on the sound. Regardless of your politics this was an historic day and they should have accommodated. Place was empty anyway. Never going back read more

Wings: awesome flavor and crisp Cheese fries: you should be embarrassed to put those on a plate read more

The best place in Bel Air for wings. Yardbird are the best! Salads are huge! Everyone thinks of Looney's as a bar, but they have a separate dining room. Seevice is always quick. Lots of weekly specials to try something new. read more

What a great bar! Servers are very attentive. Will even sing for you if you play the right music. Great drinks. Good food. Just no chicken salad after 4pm. read more

So excited for st party's day here next week. The crab dip has gone back to it's original shape and looks better than ever. That crab meat on top *chefs kiss*. The potatoes were perfectly crispy as well read more

Went there last night and was very disappointed with the food. The place is supposed to be Irish but they don't know how to make a real fish and chips. I have been to Great Britain to know how it is prepared. It was also very overcooked. Even my girlfriend's food was a bit burnt. We also ordered French onion soup. That was very peppery. I have had French onion soup before and it didn't taste like it should. I think the cook needs cooking lessons. read more

The bartender man literally made two Malibu and pineapple drinks. one ended up being clear and foggy (should've known). One of the drinks ended up being spiked , take your business elsewhere! read more

Bad, food lousy drinks, awful atmosphere, not a nice crowd. There better places to go to watch sports in Bel Airv

The drummer of the band playing that night stopped by our table more than our waitress. I had to go to the bar to get napkins and more drinks. When we complained to management and ask for a new server, the manager said she'd take care of it. 20 minutes later, the manager came back and said the server was just busy with a big table. We saw this waitress hanging out with her friends right next to us! Service was terrible (got our order wrong as well as spent more time with her friends at the next table). Management doesn't solve the issue. Avoid this place. read more

Looneys pub in Bel Air has the worst management. Kelly is very inappropriate. Rude. Vulgar and nasty. She is on a power trip all the time. I used to like going to looneys. But she has made it unbearable. She like to ban people for no reason. Yells and throws her weight around by enforcing her rules. When I say ban people for no reason. I mean just because someone disagrees with her. She yells for a bouncer and has then thrown out. I don't believe that the upper management would agree with the way she runs their establishment. She has alienated so many people from there from the bel air area. It's a shame because now we all go to the Tower. She needs to be removed from a management position. read more

we avoided Loonies with a passion because we "assumed" it was just another bar/food combination. We were dead wrong and now we are very frequent visitors.....we go there for two reasons......interesting/ever changing menu and the service is exceptional....that's right, exceptional service. The bar staff, the servers, the back bar, the kitchen staff.....even the buss staff work their tails off.....the food is delicious and served always on temp.....never ever sent anything back...and we are picky.....these owners have a great formula....great food, friendly staff and timely...... read more

Its always hot in there which i know is uncontrollable when you let the entire harford county into the building at once. Bartenders are good. Drinks are fairly priced for being a popular bar. Smells terrible in there though, like puke and sweat. Also this is extremely gross but i did see a roach crawl up the wall one night. Its very dirty in there and sticky, i always feel like i need a shower right when i leave. Great saint patricks day celebration 10/10 for that. read more

I went to meet a date for drinks at Looneys on Sunday night. As a 23 year old from Bel Air now down in SC for school, I understand and am fully ready for my SC driver's license to raise some eyebrows back at home. But how the bouncer who was working Sunday 12/23 handled the situation at Looneys Bel Air was nothing short of atrocious. As I walked in, I handed him my SC drivers license, explained it was SC because of college, handed him my school photo ID (University of South Carolina should make it pretty obvious which state I go to school in! *same as license*), as well as TWO credit cards to corroborate my identity. He proceeded to bend my license until it snapped. It is now permanently creased, needs to be replaced, and will cost me $25 to get. I then got a little irritated when he went to put my driver's license in his pocket, as if I wasn't getting it back, and offered to called the police on me. I repeated told him I would still need that to drive home, or drive back down to school, or go to another bar, or literally anything since it is my government-issued ID. I guess at this point he understood I wasn't completely kidding, so he took my license out of his hooded sweatshirt pocket. He then started picking at the corners of my ID to try to ruin it another way. Mind you all, by this point I had also pulled out my health insurance card, my car insurance card, and even my professional medical license. SEVEN different cards were on the counter with my name, picture and/or birthday, but still he was not convinced. I had to pull up my Facebook, and him peruse my entire profile to check where I lived, my photo, what school I went to, and my birthday. Only then did he finally stamp my hand and let me in. WITHOUT EVER APOLOGIZING FOR DESTROYING MY LICENSE. The only reason I will ever go back is because the bartender I told when I sat down listened to me, and got the manager on duty. They both handled it so professional and I am thankful for that, but it does not make how their bouncer acted any more acceptable. Y'all might want to invest in an ID scanning app or something similar, instead of destroying every person under 30's ID because they don't have grey hair yet. Note: Looneys can have good food and can be a great, fun environment for Ravens/Os/Terps/Caps games. Still go there to eat! But if you're reading this and under 40 looking for a bar to go to after 8 on any given night, I'd recommend one of the other Bel Air bars around the corner where security personnel will treat you with dignity. read more

I've been going to Looney's for as long as they've been open, but today I was REALLY disappointed. I asked our server if they could turn a TV that was showing a documentary (That was on 4 other screens) to the Man I soccer game. I was told that "The Manager has to keep the screens on a schedule, so he can't do that". When the Manager came over, (and I recognize him from when he was a busboy there) He said the same thing. That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. I didn't ask anybody to cure cancer....I didn't ask for it to be tuned on EVERY TV, just the 24 inch one in the corner that nobody was watching. I thought Looney's was a Sports Bar. I ended up going somewhere else, and the management had no problem accommodating me. read more

The place is always popping during any sporting event, weekend, holiday, we'll, pretty much all the time. Our server was great, food came out hot and quick, and the atmosphere is what you'd expect from an Irish pub. The food itself is hit or miss. Order the right thing and you'll be pleased, order something under par and you will be disappointed. Keep it simple, stick to wings, apps, and bar food. read more
