We were hoping to pop in for a quick beer & the host sent us in to the bar while stating "it might be a tight fit" we went inside & saw 2 empty seats @ the end of the 2 long tables but patrons were using them for their bags & the atmosphere felt unfriendly. We tried to order our bears while scanning for seats but the beertender said she couldn't serve us w/out a table # & instructed us to check in w/the host. We tried to tell her that we had in fact been sent inside by the host but she said w/out a table we would have to leave. So weird for a brewery?! She said they had no choice & had been "burned before??" No idea what that meant. Considering that there was now a long line down the sidewalk being managed by the host by this point our efforts to just have a beer were thwarted so we walked down the street to Davis & had a delicious drink & better vibes...no table required. Such a bummer about Forward though. We travel often & visit breweries all over the US & enjoyed bringing our out of town guests there. We'll take it off our list going "Forward"

The staff was super attentive, frequently asking if we needed anything or if our cups or plates needed to be replenished. I would love to return for some of their locally-brewed beer and IPAs as well. Pictured with my review, you'll see my margarita from where I sat at the bar, and happy hour meal, the boneless chicken wings and fries. This place was the perfect place for an office farewell!

My wife and I were looking to try something new in Annapolis and came across Chessie's Wharf on…read moreYelp. When we arrived, it was pretty busy. All the outdoor seating was full, and inside there was only one table available. Most of the tables are larger, so we noticed some groups sharing space, which actually worked out fine. The restaurant has a great open-air feel even indoors thanks to the large garage-style door that opens up an entire wall. For drinks, my wife ordered iced tea and I had a Peach Mule. The mule was good, but next time I'd skip the rim garnish. They also have a big beer selection, and the prices seemed very reasonable. For food, we ordered the brisket burger (single patty with cheese, topped with shaved brisket, jalapeño slaw, raw onion, pickles, and sauce). They offer a deal where you can add a side and drink for $5, so we added onion rings and also ordered the Serpent Fries as an appetizer. The fries came out first and looked great and they did not disappoint. Fresh cut with bacon, pico, scallions, and a serpent sauce (seemed like a beer cheese). Really flavorful, I did ask for ranch, which was an extra $0.50. I understand charging for extras, but not everyone uses ketchup or mustard, so that felt a little unnecessary. The burger came out shortly after, and it was excellent. We split it, and it was packed with flavor. Honestly, adding bacon would make it even better a "Triple B" (Bacon, Brisket, Burger) would be perfect. The only letdown was the onion rings. The onions inside were very thin and overcooked, leaving them dried out with little flavor. Even without the over-frying, the onions themselves just didn't have much taste. Definitely something they could improve. Overall, it's a great spot for burgers and fries, and we'll definitely be back for that. We saw other dishes come out that looked good too, so there's more to try next time.

They didn't have a food truck so make sure you check the scheduled they have posted online so you will know if you need to grab something to eat before. The event went smoothly.

The bartenders are great and the atmosphere is always fun and lively. The Thursday half-price bottles of wine is always a wonderful treat too!

Bar almost stretches from one end of the room to the other. Trivia is held in a separate room. Looks like you can have private parties. Even has a stage for possible bands to play. The host of trivia is very entertaining and funny. Got intense at times but the host held it together and got everyone on the same page. Food was pretty good. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap. Came with very good and crispy fries. They have a nice extensive menu and nice themed drinks

At Preserve, consistency is not the point, evolution is. Each visit feels slightly different,…read moreshaped by a menu that shifts with the seasons and refuses to coast on familiarity. That restlessness works in its favor. The space is compact, almost disarming at first. Then it settles around you. There is a quiet intimacy to the room, the kind that feels less designed and more lived in. It leans closer to a welcoming home than a polished dining room, without losing its sense of purpose. The food carries that same balance. Thoughtful, seasonal, and just unpredictable enough to keep you paying attention. Cocktails follow suit, measured and deliberate, never an afterthought. For Annapolis, where good options are not exactly rare, this place still manages to separate itself. It belongs firmly in the top tier of the city's dining scene, and it earns that position every time it changes the menu and starts over again.

Bright and open inside with friendly service. We ordered a handful of mimosas and got a couple of small bites to share. Sourdough Foccaccia - this was pretty good, warm and toasted. Pork Bites - I loved the flavor but thought this was pork belly and not ground pork. Overall, flavor was good but the texture wasn't great. Crispy Kale - this is very popular here and we really enjoyed it. The cumin yogurt really brought it together. Pickled Squid - Not what we expected but I actually really liked this dish. We did also order the Coconut Panna Cotta for dessert. The raspberry was pretty prominent here and wasn't as custard like as expected, just a little too soft but the flavor otherwise wasn't bad. Overall, everything was pretty good and I would visit again to try other items on their menu.

Bottom Line: Decent selection with some cool business ideas but service is lackluster…read more I'm desperately searching for my new go-to liquor store - the kinda place where you go every week and the staff recognizes you and offers a warm hello. I started my quest with Cheers & Spirits since they are so close to where I live and run coupons on the back of my Safeway receipts. I was able to find both beer and wine that peaked my interest so that was good. (I did not check out the liquor selection.) Where this store left me disappointed was with the customer service, or lack thereof. I guess I am old fashioned because I still have false hopes that store staff will say hello and offer assistance. Despite being the only person in the store, there was little service to be had. One employee had their head down distracted by their paperwork. Eventually, another staff member did come offer assistance when he saw I had my arms full (literally). I tried to engage him in conversation about various craft beers but he either didn't know the product or didn't seem too enthusiastic to talk shop. I'll give Cheers & Spirits another try because all businesses have their off days, but I'll also keep looking for my new go-to spot.
