We stopped into this brewery during our visit to Annapolis. The people working here are friendly…read moreand the inside is very bright and welcoming. The only downfall is that it's pretty small, so I can see how seating could be a challenge on a busy night. We tried several different beers and all of them were really good! Their sweet potato ale was a favorite with really good flavor. We didn't partake in food since we had already eaten, but they had a lot of yummy sounding items on their menu. Overall, this is a great brewery!

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.

BLUF: RAR beer and bar eats like burgers and tots with minimal parking…read more What I love about Chessie's Wharf is that it plays on the local lore of Chessie the Sea Monster. Also, the decor is great and the tap line is long. Aside from RAR beers there are a few rotating handles with beer from "guest" breweries. But no need to venture out to guest brews, RAR has great selections. If you're not a beer drinker they also have spirits and seltzers. I'm not sure about wine but I suspect they have a few options. Foood selections are comforting and simple - mostly burgers, wings, fries, tots and salads. For slightly more special options they have a brisket burger, crab dip and a few other tantalizing selections. I'll gladly work my way through the whole menu. I love that they brand Chessie into the buns. So cute! Chessie's has bar seating and lots of community tables so introverts be aware. When the weather is nice they have a great patio. To relive the memories of this great neighborhood bar, they sell merch and canned beer.

I only knew about this place because of my brother as he comes here for true crime trivia nights…read more Decided to go with him one night. You first walk in into the big dining area/bar area. 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.

Located on Main Street with bar, inside/outside seating. Wonderful decor and a great drink menu…read more Food menu was great as well and not too overwhelming. This is a place that has lots of drinks and foods that have some unique and creative flavor profiles. We were greeted immediately and sat at bar. Server acknowledged us quickly and was very friendly. Checked on us throughout the time we were there. Ordered a tequila cocktail that was amazing. Highly recommend!!! So so good. Their cocktail menu has the spirit and then a description under of the drink. No actual names. Lots of interesting drinks. We grabbed a couple of apps. Got the pork bites and smoked fish dip. Both were tasty and had interesting flavors that worked. The portions were great. You can tell that great care and thought is put into to the menu. The burger and fries looked amazing - on special and lots of people around us were ordering it. Would have ordered that if we were eating a bigger meal. This is a gem of a place. Truly crafty food and drinks. Highly recommend trying them out. Would come back again.

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.

The Good: location, ambiance, staff, speed The Not So Good:…read moreThe food. We got the crab and artichoke dip, the brisket tacos, the arugula salad, and a burger. The best items were the arugula salad (fresh and a good value), the fries (fresh), the burger bun, and the bread that comes with the crab cakes. The crab dip had good flavor but the portion felt v small for an appetizer and not a single piece of legit crab meat. In Maryland the crab dip has at least a couple real pieces of meat. The burger was...fine. They charge extra for cheese. The real tragedy was the brisket tacos. The brisket was DRY, overdone, and near flavorless. It almost seemed like it had been sliced and then reheated. The bourbon sauce was so sweet, like maple syrup. And the "coleslaw" was equal parts cabbage, raw onion, and green pepper. Weirdest coleslaw ever. So the tacos ended up tasting like maple syrup covered onions. I have literally never in my 39 years of life sent something back, but I sent those back. It was inedible. The waitress was super nice and sweet about it and took it off the bill, so there's that. We gave it 6.5/10. We might go back for the nice clean open space if one of our friends wanted to go there, but with soooo many restaurants around it's unlikely we would seek it out again.
