Magerks is such a fun, Irish bar in Federal Hill. The upstairs is the place to be, especially when there is a dj! Service is great and quick, even when crowded. The bathrooms are small, but everyone is respectful and there for a good time. With a few tables upstairs, it's the perfect bar to chill, hang with friends and have a great time. Not pictured: the amazing chicken tenders and chicken cheese steak! The food here is amazing and not to be missed! read more

My wife and I visited today for the first time. We are from Bucks County PA, a suburb of Philly, where there are several Magerks scattered around our area. We never knew that the very first and original Magerks is in Baltimore. With all due respect to the other Magerks, which we do like, the "flagship" original in Baltimore blows all the others away. What a tremendous experience we had and Lea is the one who made it so special. She is the hostess, bartender, server, etc. She wears so many hats and she is the sweetest person! There should be a photo of Lea in the dictionary when looking up the term "multi-tasking". She was amazing. We highly recommend Magerks in Baltimore. The food was excellent and the beer list very extensive. We really enjoyed our time there and we will definitely be back! read more

What an awesome spot?!? We stopped in from a recommendation on a Tuesday and was so impressed. Service was really friendly and informative. We shared the cheese steak and they cut it in half for us - it was awesome! The steak flavorful, bread soft and toppings fresh. This might be one of the best orange crushes I've had ever. It was really delicious! The fish and chips we are told are a house favorite and I can see why. This place is awesome and I'll definitely be back! read more

After our second visit I can say that this cheese steak is in the top 3 I have ever had anywhere, even outside of Maryland. Our first visit was on a Tuesday and the bartender was extremely welcoming and friendly. The restaurant has two bars with very different vibes, we ended up sitting at a booth at the front of the restaurant and split an order of fish and chips and a cheese steak with provolone, hots and banana peppers. The food was served very quickly and we enjoyed a few crushes that were on special while we waited. I was thoroughly impressed by both dishes and everything was very affordable. On our second visit we went at 6 PM on a Thursday to enjoy the cheese steak special and we each got our own sandwich, I tried the classic sandwich with American cheese and it was just as good as the first time and my wife really enjoyed her chicken cheese steak. If you are in Fed Hill and want a delicious meal at a nice sports bar, this is easily one of the best options. read more

I came here for the Ohio State vs. Michigan game and overall had a good time. This place markets itself as an OSU bar, which is exactly why a lot of us out-of-towners lined up early looking for a true Buckeye spot to watch The Game. The two bartenders on duty were slammed but handled the crowd well and stayed friendly the whole time. I ordered the honey Old Bay wings and they were legitimately great. A couple issues, though. For a bar that leans into the Ohio State identity, it was surprising that we had to keep asking for the TVs to be switched to the game and for the sound to be turned on especially during the biggest rivalry matchup of the year. They also misplaced my friend's AMEX, which was frustrating. All that said, the staff was kind, the food was solid, and there's real potential here. With some attention to gameday details, this place could be a true home for the Buckeye faithful. read more

You can never go wrong here! Their wings, subs and even egg rolls are all BOMB! I will say it can get super busy and crazy on some nights depending on what's happening outside. They are located on Cross Street so weekends here get busy and they don't offer carry out on game days. It's nice though, I feel like they have quiet areas and louder areas so you can enjoy the games however you like. read more

We stopped in here to try a cheesesteak since we had heard good things. It's a cool, casual atmosphere with a good amount of seating. Our server was friendly and checked on us regularly and food came out quickly. We were sharing one sandwich and they kindly cut it for us and gave each of us a bag of chips which I thought was really nice. The sandwich itself was just okay in my opinion. It was generously filled and the bread was nice, but I felt it needed more flavor personally. But a lot of people seem to like it so check it out for yourself! Even though the cheesesteak wasn't my preference, there were a lot of other menu items that sounded good to me and I liked the service and atmosphere, so I'd definitely go back to try other stuff! read more

If you're craving good food, good vibes, and even better deals -- MaGerks Pub has you covered. The crab pretzel is cheesy but I must admit I have had some that are better. But the Cheesesteak is a must (and 50% off dine in every Thursday from 7pm-10pm! Great drinks, friendly service, and that classic Fed Hill neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back. Definitely a Baltimore gem! read more

Great atmosphere. Came here while visiting Baltimore and I am so glad I did. The vibe inside is perfect for a sports bar. Tons of TVs everywhere you look and the energy from the crowd makes every game feel big. The staff is friendly and quick with service which I really appreciate when the place is busy. The food came out hot and the portion sizes definitely hit the spot after a long day. I loved the setup of the bar too because it feels open and welcoming and still has that cozy neighborhood feel. If you are looking for a place to grab a drink, catch the game, and have a good time with good people, this is it. I will definitely be back next time I am in town. read more

This pub took me by surprise. My friend told me about a spot with great philly's and I had to give it a try. It was a game day in Baltimore for the orioles, so the pub became busy as soon as we sat down. We sat at the bar which wasn't too noisy. They do offer upstairs and downstairs traditional tabletop seating. The bartender was attentive and asked for our drink orders right away. I ordered water as was saving my taste buds for a sandwich. I decided on the chicken Philly and I added fried onions. It came with a pickle and potato chips. My friend ordered the Philly egg rolls with sweet potato fries. The food came out and the sandwich was huge. It was no way I was going to eat the whole thing. I took a bite and fell in love. It was so juicy and flavorful. I tried the egg rolls and geez, so goooood!!!! I will be back to get another one when I'm back in Baltimore! read more

The last few visits have been positive. The Jam-On burger is a must for us and ask of a little JO sauce on the side. It's a great burger if you like blue cheese. Also got the MaGerk Salad with cranberries, candied nuts and vinaigrette. Good stuff and our waiter was on the top of his game. read more

Solid bar, good for lunch, not too expensive for the area, can watch the game. Wide array of drink options.

So disappointed, ordered Philly cheesesteaks and the meat is minced. No way, go to Pats in Philly and have a real cheesesteak. Note: advertised as authentic Philly cheesesteaks--not! read more

Always a fun time at Magerks for Eagles games. They truly have the best vibe and the food and service are always top notch no matter how busy they get. Probably the best traditional bar food in Baltimore. read more

When people ask, I usually tell them I'm from filly so I know what trash smells like. But originally, I'm from class, Montgomery county, to be exact, Potomac Maryland to be more exact.

Had the phylli rolls and fries. Good service and spacious ambiance. Had an orange crush, yummy! I'd come back!

Cheesesteaks were exactly what we expected, good food for the price. Service was kind of slow but food came out fast. Fantastic place if you're looking for a Philly bar, Eagles were on and ambiance felt very Philadelphia. Would come back if I wanted a cheesesteak in Baltimore. You won't have a bad experience here but it's nothing extraordinary. read more

Went because I saw that this place got really good reviews on cheesesteaks in downtown Baltimore. And I must say my Yelp community did not fail me. Got a cheesesteak and it was really good. Price was extremely reasonable. Also, I've been here three times so far once to sit in and twice to go when I sat in service was really goodwaitress was super attentive. It was really small in there but like most places in downtown Fed Hill that are sports bars I didn't expect too much as far as seating. Try a few things off the menu, but mostly come for the cheesesteaks. read more

I came here to watch the NBA finals and they did not disappoint. Cheap drink specials, nice bartenders, and good food.

It's hits all the standards of a decent bar. Love their cheesesteaks and that you can customize them how you want. Weekly trivia and other themed nights.

The bar manager is amazing! We were in town from Philly and needed a spot to watch the game. My husband asked for a nonalcoholic beer and they were out. We still decided to stay to watch the game. The place was packed! Standing room only. It was amazing. During halftime the bar manager walked through the door with a bag. In that bag was nonalcoholic beer for my husband. She went out of her way to make sure he was included. She's the best! Now for the patrons... a young man gave up his seat so I could sit down. Everyone was nice and having fun. The Eagles chants and Fly Eagles Fly made us forget we weren't at home. I will be in town for a few months for work and this will definitely be my spot for the Eagles games! Go Birds! Go Magerks! read more

I love coming here to watch the Eagles games. It's the designated Philadelphia/Eagles bar of Baltimore. They have an upstairs and downstairs area with plenty of TVs throughout. They offer bar and high top table seating with a couple low top tables that can accommodate bigger groups. I recommend getting here early on Eagles game days, as it can get pretty crowded. I got there 30 minutes before the game on Monday night and was able to grab one of the last spots at the bar. It was such a great atmosphere being surrounded by fellow Eagles fans who would chant during an Eagles touchdown! The bar food here is delicious and I almost always get the buffalo chicken egg rolls as they are my absolute favorite! They are also known for having really good cheesesteaks, which have never disappointed me either. read more

A group of friends and I decided to do our own bar crawl. Magerk's Pub was one of the bars we stopped by. It was a cool space and the mixed drinks were good. At least my Long Island Iced Tea was! We didn't order any food so I can't comment on that aspect of the bar. We had a great time sharing laughs and drinks at Magerk's. I can definitely see myself coming back here if we do another crawl! Next time I'll try the food. read more

Lemme just start off by saying Magerks is a special place. Great food, decently priced beers, all the TVs you'd ever need, and usually a pretty good soundtrack too. Now that being said, you might be able to find other places that also hit that criteria but Magerks has some sort of gravitational pull to it. When I think about why there are a few things it could be but definitely one that takes the cake. Obviously half price cheesesteak night is everyone's favorite night of the week. Go in, get you a cheesesteak, hang with friends, have 100 beers, vibes are high. It's just a great time every week but that's not it. Maybe it's having the best seat to watch the game no matter where you are? Nah still not it. The main thing that keeps me coming back is everyone's favorite bartender Courtney. Every time I walk into Magerks I'm greeted with a smile and my go to beer. She always knows when we (my kickball team) show up on cheesesteak night that we mean business. She wastes no time and makes sure she gets all our orders in asap! We usually go and find a table if there isn't enough space for all of us at the bar. No matter how busy it gets in there, Courtney never forgets about her customers. She regularly makes her rounds to all the tables to make sure your cup never runs dry! I even got fussed at (jokingly) one time for helping clean up the table because she wanted to provide the best service she could. Yes Magerks is just another bar but very few even come close when you have a bartender like Courtney! Also shoutout to the rest of the staff on half price cheesesteak night for handling business every week! read more

Ok why didn't I know Magerks had bomb ass cheesesteaks??? Where have I been and why didn't I get here sooner? My office is downtown but I work in the neighborhood often. I've been here, but I can't remember a single thing about that visit so I definitely didn't get a cheesesteak cuz its basically unforgettable. Apparently the owner is from Philly and it shows. I haven't had a better steak outside Philadelphia and I will literally NEVER order one from anywhere else in Baltimore. The steak is juicy but not greasy like so many other places who shall remain nameless. The roll is soft and no doubt made fresh every morning. You can get it with all the Baltimore fixings LTO, mayo, but I'm a purist and you should be too (yes im judging you). I got the #1 which is just steak, provolone cheese (not whiz, I lied im not that pure), and fried onions with hots! Done! Killed the whole thing. Comes with Utz and a pickle. Best $10 I spent all month! read more

I came here for a Ravens game and seriously, the food, beer, staff, atmosphere, it's all great. The bartenders were attentive when they needed to be, the TV's are big and located everywhere, and the cheesesteaks are surprisingly good!! The posters/decor is seemingly random (which I love), and the staff all wear custom Magerks gear (which is cute). No complaints at all. I highly recommend coming here to watch whatever NFL game (not sure if they play other things) you're into! read more
