Let's have a real conversation (Carlos King- if you know, you know) I understand there is a stigma about black people and how they tip. But in this case you should learn your regulars and understand that we tip more than that little 20% you add to our check. Stop JUDGING YOUR PATRONS!!! We are NOT all the same. It's offensive. We don't want to have to find somewhere else to patron bc you refuse to see beyond the color of our skin. Sincerely, The friendly black couple

Two of us stopped in here last night in our quest to visit all of the dive bars in Parkville on…read moreHarford Road. There is very little parking behind Emerald Tavern. We ended up parking in the neighborhood across the street. There is a busy Happy Hour going on around 5:30 which is great. The Emerald Tavern has a bit of Irish-ness about it with a few Brit food options on the menu like fish and chips and shepherd's pie. We sat at the bar and were pleased to find a beer menu! The beer selection was varied and included some local options. They also have a wide selection of beer on tap and in bottles and cans. I was not expecting that. The food menu was also much larger than I would have expected. They have just about everything here. I had the chicken quesadilla (it came with salsa and sour cream) and my husband had the cheesesteak special which was only $6! All of the prices on the menu were very reasonable. We also had the pretzel bite which were good if not a little greasy. The quesadilla and cheesesteak were really good! Service at the bar was fast and friendly. They have live music here on the weekends but we left long before the band started setting up because we are old.

Cozy neighborhood dive bar…read more My brother frequents Brannan so we went to check it out while I was visiting the area recently. My brother said he likes it because it's unpretentious and the regulars who frequent the bar are usually locals. He said it's always a good time as the people are cool and the drinks are fantastic. We actually stopped in for a midday cocktail on a Sunday afternoon. There were a few people there but not too many due to the time of day. We sat at the bar and an older gentleman took our order. My brother knew him so they chit chatted for awhile about the comings and goings of other locals. The bar is no frills for sure but I still found it warm and inviting. It had a certain charm to it that I can't really put my finger on. There are pool tables in the rear the bar and an electronic juke box. We played a couple rounds of pool while jamming to some tunes which was a lot of fun. I can't recall the name of the drinks I ordered but they were really good. They were fruity cocktails that the older gentleman mixed. He didn't skip on the alcohol either. We ordered 5 drinks total and the bill was just under $30. My brother told me that some people in the neighborhood look down on Brannan's because it's a dive bar but I had a great time. I didn't find anything wrong with it whatsoever. All the other patrons were really nice as was the bartender. The atmosphere was cozy and chill. I'd definitely visit again during a future trip.

First of all, the bartender was extremely friendly. Their soda tap was really dirty so when I mentioned it to her, she was so really kind about it. They have Jell-O shots here which are dangerous but fun and they have a digital jukebox as well as a pool table. The pool tables is a scarcity in Balitmore so I was really happy to be able to play pool. Oh they also have a digital lottery machine where they take debit. It's so fun!

This is the only bar in Towson I won't avoid nowadays. It's a completely different vibe than the…read morerest of the sports bar type places around here. It honestly feels like you've been transported to a pub in Ireland (minus the handful of loud college kids). I'm a big fan of the decor and the fireplace that they frequently light throughout the colder months. Noelle is my favorite bartender here (Hey, Noelle!) and she could make you anything your heart desires. I'll admit, I've never once had the food here but the drinks are always on point and the service is fast and friendly. They have a free parking lot in the back for customers which is super convenient in this area. They also have some outdoor seating in the back too which is a new addition since Covid times. I'm not a huge fan of Towson or Towson bars in general (at least not anymore) but if I'm around, Kent House is the only place to be in my opinion. Cheers!

You won't see this place if you're not looking for it…read more Located on Baylis St between Fait and Foster in Highlandtown this little gem is a nice little family corner bar. I was walking home the other day and as I looked up Baylis St. from Fait I noticed the green awning and decided to explore a bit. Walked in, had a beer, talked to the bar maid and her husband and just escaped the city for a few minutes. This is a small space but if you're not looking for much other than a drink and a local (local meaning a 2 block radius from your house) feel then this is a nice little spot. Definitely not a destination bar but it's been around for years. The picture on this profile is not exact because there is now a big picture window in front where the brick used to be. I would certainly come back here again for a drink.

The inside is much nicer looking than the outside, but they have an extremely limited food menu (tacos, crab cake, pizza, or quesadilla). As far as drinks, they were out of a lot of things. No coconut rum, I took the last white claw, etc. The bartender was very nice but a tad too chatty for my liking. They do have a beer pong table, claw machine, and jukebox. Overall it's very underwhelming.
