I walked into Olde Town on a random Tuesday and met Carmi, and since then it's been one of my favorites. She's awesome, but the place in general is homey and inviting with large street-facing windows, a classic American menu and daily specials. (Great wings and house-made bleu cheese.) The door is open for everyone, and it's not pretentious or overpriced. Possibly the most down-to-earth spot in downtown Frederick. read more

Walked right in and sat down on a Wednesday for happy hour. Staff was nice and attentive. Clean bathrooms. Wings were perfect. Will definitely become a go-to for me and friends. read more

Olde Towne Tavern - Caesar Salad Buffalo Wings - Burgers Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Looks like a traditional pub, so expected a real pub experience: chill vibe, warm greeting, good comfort food. Instead: too-loud regulars, an inattentive and unfriendly bartender, kitchen open but aforementioned bartender couldn't be bothered to take an order. And Guinness in a can. Not a pub, nor a tavern. It's just a bar. read more

Ambiance is nice. Service is good. Food is in process of being assessed. ;-). Wing deal starts at 1pm! We holding out with appetizers until 1. read more

This place has great atmosphere, the bar tender is very professional and responsive. Great team work.

College dive bar but with old people. The bartenders and servers are sweet but always busy. But they will bring you drinks and food pretty quick always! I highly recommend to visit this pub if you are short on money or want to get a cheap meal. They have so many specials including Happy Hour or daily deals. Foods are fine overall, the burger and fries are good. Can't beat the price! Do not order cocktails, never have a good experience with that. lol read more

This is a true local place at the north end of Market Street. Nothing fancy but good food, drink and reasonable pricing. The bill for a crabcake sandwich with tater tots, cheeseburger with tater tots, diet soda and a gin and tonic was $42 before tip. In this day and age no complaints. The service was good, kitchen was quick and the food was delicious. Tater Tots are not something you normally see on a menu and they are so good here. Burger was large and the Crab Cake was also a good size. We drove 25 miles to come here it was that good. read more

Olde Towne Tavern - Crab Cake and Tater Tots - Burgers Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Stay away! I'm a local homeowner and professional meeting up with another local sixty year old professional. Stopped in for. a drink tonight. Was approached by an old male who wanted to sit with us and we asked him to leave us alone. A male employee with a beard approached us soon after and asked us to leave. Hugh?? How about sorry for the experience. I left a 10 tip on an 18 tab and was asked to leave after being harassed by an unknown patron. Really?? No thanks read more

Great Place! Excellent food at fair prices and the portions are nice too. Very Friendly staff (That includes the owner), very clean place. The Decor I can only describe as "rustic" (for lack of a better word) as that have vintage signage from a variety of companies. Go for one of their lunch specials or on their $3.50 burger night, you won't be disappointed! read more

Generally good vibes & cheap drinks! We went in for $5 burger night, but unfortunately veggie burgers aren't included (despite being cheaper on the menu)! Disappointing :( read more

Dear Olde Town Tavern/ To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally address an incident that occurred at Olde Town Tavern on December 31sr at approximately 10:22pm. During this visit, I was subjected to unprofessional and inappropriate treatment by a member of your security staff, Darius Braun, whom I believe acted unfairly and abused their authority. When I arrived at your establishment with my friends, Darius began antagonizing us. His behavior appeared to be personal in nature, as I know him outside of his professional role. This antagonism escalated throughout the night and culminated in him forcibly removing me from the premises, despite the fact that I was not involved in any disruptive behavior or altercations. To provide clarity: while I was in the bathroom for an extended period, an incident occurred involving the people I came with and another patron, a visibly intoxicated woman who reportedly initiated the altercation. I was completely unaware of this situation as it unfolded, and I had no involvement in or knowledge of what transpired until after the fact. For Darius Braun to target and drag me out of the bar, despite my absence from the entire situation, was unjustifiable and highly unprofessional. It is important to emphasize that this entire incident was captured on your security cameras, I strongly encourage you to review the footage from Back bar room, the bathroom hallway, main bar area, etc. Several witnesses who were present can confirm that's I was not acting in any way deserving of this treatment. During the time of the incident. The video evidence will clearly show: That I was uninvolved in any altercation. That Darius targeted and forcibly removed me without cause. That the other patron involved in the altercation appeared to be overserved alcohol, which raises concerns about the bar's compliance with responsible serving practices. Furthermore, I have reason to believe that Darius Braun is unfit for his position. It is concerning that Darius frequently brings personal grievances into the workplace including targeting patrons based on personal history. There are ongoing rumors, which I have witnessed firsthand, that he purchases illegal drugs from regular patrons at the bar. Additionally, I am aware that he has been suspended in the past for being under the influence of drugs while on duty. He has been known to take part in illegal drugs of duty as well is the bathroom of his workplace. His demeanor during this incident was overly aggressive and erratic, raising concerns that he may have once again been under the influence while working. This pattern of behavior reflects poorly on the professionalism and safety of your establishment and undermines the experience of your patrons. I am requesting that this matter be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. Specifically, I would like to know: What steps you will take to investigate this incident, including reviewing the security footage. Whether this bouncer will face disciplinary action for his unprofessional behavior. The measures your establishment has in place to address over-serving alcohol and ensuring security staff cannot use personal grievances to target patrons. I trust that your establishment values its patrons and takes pride in maintaining a safe, professional, and welcoming environment. I would appreciate a response to this complaint within reasonable timeframe, 7 days. If I do not hear back or if this matter is not resolved, I will escalate it to the relevant licensing authority, legal counsel, or other appropriate body. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Haley Jaconski 240-595-0273 Haleyselizabeth@gmail.com read more

My wife and I went there during the fire and ice first Saturday on February 1st. It was crowded but the staff handled it very well. We've been theRe several times beFore. And have always been satisfied. Keep up the good work. I recommend olde town tavern highly. read more

Olde Towne Tavern - a man sitting at the bar - Burgers Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I'd call it a Dive Bar but it's not really fair as this place is super clean, open and well lit with darts, pool, ping pong, golden tee. It also has awesome food at great prices and cheap beer. $2 Yuengling...yes please! read more

The WORST SERVICE I've ever had at a "restaurant". The waitress got part of our order wrong, and when I told her she didn't care. She fixed it but didn't even say anything and acted like I was wasting her time. Usually, if they make a mistake, a server will apologize. I guess I should have just been happy with what I was given, not what I asked for. I also asked for extra bread and it didn't come until later. I kept having to go to the bar to get refills on water, because I saw she was too busy chatting in the kitchen and not doing her job. When I got the bill there was an extra charge for sauce, but she didn't bother to tell me it was extra. Usually wings come WITH sauce, but not here. I thought it was a mistake. When I asked her why it was extra she f'n rolled her eyes at me, TO MY FACE, and argued with me, telling me I should know better. Already this woman was very rude and should never work with customers. When I tried to tell the 'manager' he said since I've been there before I should know better and made it seem like I was wrong for even bringing it up. He clearly does not even care about being decent to a paying customer. I told the waitress she has a very bad attitude dealing with paying customers, and she continued arguing. I'm completely appalled at such disrespect toward paying customers. Olde Towne Tavern treated us like WE should be thankful to THEM for even letting us in and allowing them to screw up our order and our night. Olde Towne Tavern is THE WORST restaurant you can visit in Frederick. read more

Best watering hole in frederick. And the perfect place to catch something! Daily happy hour, Weekends and Wednesday's here can be so packed, you'll wanna shower twice when you get home. Go during happy hour! Beer can be as low as $1!!! read more

Everything we ordered was delicious! Fries are particularly impressive, especially if you get the loaded ones. Nice, chill atmosphere and friendly service! Very clean, I would frequent this establishment if I lived nearby. Unfortunately, we were just passing through read more

Went recently for a date, I knew this place had a quiet backroom so suggested we go there. Our waitress was a little quiet towards us but it was more busy in the front and I ( don't know about him) was okay with waiting. I only got a little annoyed when another waitress kept offering us food we didn't order, I know she didn't want it to go to waste but every time my date tried to explain to her we already ordered she would cut him off and kept repeating, "the foods for you guys!" This was my 3rd time visiting but nothing major stuck out for a terrible review or but neither for a 5 star review. I'll keep coming back for the french fries and the friendly crowd though read more

Everything moved slow. We were seated outside and I saw the inside was only about half full. It took almost 10 minutes just to be able to put in drink orders and when we finally got our drinks they were in crappy little plastic cups. We finally ordered and were waiting around 45 minutes before our server told us it would be an hour wait. At that point we had waited so long there would have been no point going somewhere else. My 3 year old daughter was with us and very hungry. Luckily we were able to distract her with youtube videos while we waited. When we finally got the food they forgot my wife's dressing and I had to go in to ask for it since I didn't want to wait until the server decided to wander over again. The food was average at best, definitely not worth the wait. There was nothing about this experience that would make me ever want to go back. read more

Fun little bar/restaurant. Been there twice ordered different food both times. Enjoyed it and will go back if I'm ever back in the area.

This place gets 5 stars for the food and cost alone! Everyday they have some sort of drink special and the food is actually pretty good! $2 PBR drafts on Sunday is always great in my opinion. read more

First time in the establishment and right off the bat it was a very welcoming workstaff. They only had one bartender serving as both the server and bartender but she was able to keep up and give equal attention to all the patrons who would come in. The crab dip was gold and came out in a timely fashion as well. Would definitely return, during more peak hours to see what it was like. read more

Olde Towne Tavern - 3$ bloody Mary's on sundays! - Burgers Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I was here to see a bunch of bands play. The back room is fairly spacious but the acoustics are subpar. It is still a great place with extremely reasonable drink prices. The downside: you usually have to wait for the bathroom so that can get frustrating. read more

Ahhhhhh, Olde Towne. What can I say. For a dive bar, it's really great. Good food, service, and drinks. I've been coming for decades, but never left a review before. read more

This a dive bar, that plays a dual role as music venue and hook up emporium. Look it ain't a club, so if that's what u r looking, look elsewhere. Happy hour has an eclectic crew, with a strong whiff of alcoholism. But the ambiance is chill, the prices are right, and there is free popcorn if you ask. On a weekend it is bunch of use to be punks who still like to hang out, get high and hook up---just like they did when they went to the local high school. All said and done, it a great dive bar read more

A buddy of mine summed this place up pretty well when he said, "Basically your in a bar that at any moment someone is going to punch you in the face." Roughneck crowds aside if you catch the OTT on the right night it can be pretty fun. Also, Virginia Coalition used to play here all the time. Talk about an intimate venue. Plus, I hear they have great hamburgers. read more

Cmon Olde Towne is legendary and all the reviewers who are complaining are there at 1am drunk from Firestone's and clogging up the ladies room. read more

If your ideal environment is filled with extremely loud drunk fifth grade educated rednecks, then you have found your place! In spite of the regulars, there is cheap drinks and the food is really good and reasonably priced. Some of the best burgers in Frederick and .25 cent wings for happy hour made the low life's tolerable! Just kidding....for the most part the patrons ate behaved. The waitresses and bartenders are super nice and pay attention to their customers and ate quick to refill your drink or take your food order. One of my favorite watering holes! read more

I had the pleasure of being taken on a mini bar tour of these good old parts. Ended up here. Two chicks running the bar.... DJ playing the Thong Song.....idk what year I was taken back to (1999?) but at least the Oriole game was on? Maybe I picked a bad night to come because they do have nice specials every day written on their large chalkboard. It hovers over the bar and you can't see it unless you are sitting at a table - but who reads signs anyway? I will say that the one girl we went to made decent drinks at fantastic prices. The dress code for guys should've read tshirt and cargo pants only since that's what every guy had on. Major party foul was announcing last call at 1am and bright lights by 2. This city lady isn't used to that. Ps the bathroom was clean. Minus one star for just having 2 TOTAL. read more

Don't go here if you're from out of state. They'll give you a super hard time about it. Then almost not serve you.

The bouncer is rude as fuck. I don't know what his deal is. But not the person I would want representing my bar. I don't know why they would hire such a person . read more

The drinks were terrible, we had to send back our first round, and the second round was no better. We ordered food and our potato skin appetizer had raw onion and burnt cheese on it. We decided we wanted to leave before receiving anything else and the waitress told us we had to pay the $91 dollar bill for food we didn't receive or eat, and drinks we didn't drink. She yelled at us at the table saying we were thieves and she would call the cops if we didn't pay. She continued saying the whole entire meal will come out of her check so if we still won't pay WE needed to call the owner and not her. She didn't even offer the name of the owner or their number. She ended up calling them and our meal was comped but we still ended up paying for drinks that were full. Overall absolutely terrible experience and we should have known there was a reason no one else around us was eating. read more

Holy cow the bar during the day is fine but the smell from the restroom is equal to a sewage treatment plant....wear a nose plug

I come here every Wednesday after guidos and I really find it interesting that I had two tabs open the bartender wanted to argue with me about leaving a TIP A TIP IS NOT MANDATORY AND I DO NOT Have to leave one I will never tip her again she's rude and very obnoxious I will never ever come here and go to that bar tender ever again you guy's really need to talk to your workers not all just the bartenders they are very professional her name is JAMIE AND YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO FIRE HER...! I have been here so many times and this my first time ever seeing her again I just want to say that she is very unprofessional at the END OF THE DAY THIS IS REALLY A HOT MESS THIS PLACE WAS SO PROFESSIONAL BEFORE TODAY SHE HAVE TO GO I AM A KNOWN TIPPER AND SHE MAKE ME NOT WANT TO EVER TIP AGAIN .... ECT I CAN GO ALL DAY LONG ABOUT THIS read more

This place suits me just fine! Good live music with a rockabilly and Americana feel on the nights I go. It's an American dive bar and I wouldn't want it any other way! ---------- Go to Applebees or TGIFridays if you want fast service and clean cut, interchangeable bartenders. Go here if you prefer real people with their own personalities. read more

Hands down my favorite place to go in town. Live Local Music, specials every night of the week and I can't say enough about the staff- They love that bar, and it shows The Cheers of Downtown Frederick for sure. read more

This place is is the best place Ernie and Lisa Payne are the owners they are good to everyone and the food is good, the music is good the best place to eat for lunch and balloon drop on New Years Eve even better yet my old friends needs to check Olde Towne Tavern out and I am well liked there. read more

Based on one visit: Typical bar food in a typical dive bar with pretty slow service, especially considering the place was almost empty. Minimal beer selection. Holds some promise for the fact that they have live music, but I haven't experienced that so rating is for food, beer and service only. read more

Great neighborhood bar! Food is better than average bar food, drinks cheapest in town, great staff together for years, $2.50 handmade burgers on tues, table tennis, games, darts, live music etc. Clean, big and friendly also! Best thing is, it's a half block away! read more

It's a "Where Everyone Knows Your Name" type place, with good bands brought in. I like the 3 "tiered" set up - bar up front for talking, middle roomw here you can hear the music but still mingle and eat, and the "dance floor" where it's fun and crazy if that's your thing! read more
