BLUF: Dive bar that is party-central during O's games but worthwhile on non-game days too. Pickles Pub is famous for being a green building just outside of Camden Yards. On game day the crowds pack into Pickles Pub and spill out on to Washington Blvd that essentially transforms into a block party. I recently visited the is quintessential Baltimore bar on a non-game day and really enjoyed it. While I was anticipating greasy bar food and various pickled options, the food was much better. In honor of pickles, I started with a shot of pickle juice and tequila. From there it was on to burgers and fries topped with crab dip. I've got to say, it was tasty! Definitely worth the calories. Service was friendly although inconsistently attentive. There isn't parking for Pickles so this is the type of place where you park in a garage, lot of on the street (if you get lucky) and then walk a few blocks. Overall, a great time. read more

Pickles Pub - "P"ickle's Crab Pretzel - Pubs Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I came to Baltimore for the crab cakes, but fell in love with the Fried Pickle Bacon Lettuce and Tomato (F.P.B.L.T) at Pickles Pub. Holy crap that was a nice mix of a great BLT and fried pickle spears. This was one great sandwich. I was with a group for lunch and we also ordered the Honey Old Bay wings. The flavor of these was good, but it was definitely more honey than old bay. I had a similar flavor before and they were better at the other place. Service was OK with the waitress barely stopping buy for drink refills and taking our order. It wasn't overly busy either. It wasn't terrible, but there was a lack of service for sure. Also, a trough in the men's room? C'mon man... you gotta update that stuff. read more

TL;DR: Pickles Pub to O's fans is what The Bullpen is to Nationals fans. As an MD resident and lifelong Baltimore Orioles fan, nothing comes remotely close to the feeling I get when I go to Pickles Pub on an O's gameday! Yesterday was opening day, and as tradition, I usually go to Pickles before entering the ballpark because the vibes are great and the pub is right next door to one of the gates. On non-game days or before a Ravens game, it's easier to find a table or bar seating and order food. The chicken tenders, crab dip fries, crabby patty (crab dip burger), and wings are great! Whether it's drinking a few Miller Lites or Orange Crushes before first pitch or taking a Jägerbomb, Pickles Pub is the ideal place to let loose before an O's game. I've also been before a Ravens game, and it's usually quieter because the bar is farther from M&T Bank Stadium and tailgating is common (and there are other bars closer to the stadium, such as Purple Patio at Mother's Grille or Gameday Firehouse). But again, if you want food and a less crowded place to go before a Ravens game, Pickles isn't a bad spot. Just be warned that, depending on who the Ravens play, you may see a lot of fans from the opposing team, as there's a hotel nearby, and some fandoms, like the Bills, travel well to away games. read more

When it comes to O's games, Pickles knows what it's doing! They have fast service, great places to gather, and of course, amazing orange crushes. This is a staple in the baseball experience in Baltimore for a reason! read more

I was very disappointed with my experience at Pickles Pub. After being seated, I waited approximately 7 minutes without receiving any service. During that time, multiple customers around me were greeted and served, while both bartenders looked in my direction several times but never acknowledged me, offered water, or provided a menu. It wasn't until another customer spoke up on my behalf that a bartender finally came over, handed me a water and a menu, and immediately walked away without introducing themselves or checking if I needed anything else. Every guest should feel welcomed and valued when they enter a restaurant. Unfortunately, I felt overlooked and ignored. I hope management addresses this issue and reminds staff of the importance of acknowledging all customers in a timely and courteous manner. read more

A popular and fun pub. Drinks are pricy and beer selection is limited. The orange crushes are great and I tried a King James one along with a Crabby Patty and Beer Battered Pickle Spears which were great. Service was fast and friendly. I came here a few hours before a weeknight Orioles Red Sox game so it was not busy when I arrived but got quite busy closer. Looking forward to returning and bringing my wife sometime. read more

My visit to Pickles unconventional, but definitely memorable! My son and I were in town for a Ravens game and needed somewhere to grab lunch before catching the light rail back to BWI. I didn't want chain food and Pickles was a quick walk from our hotel and the Babe Ruth statue my son wanted to see. Even though it's a pub, it was definitely family friendly during the day and my son and I experienced prompt and friendly service. We tried the F.P.B.L.T. (fried pickle was perfection) and honey Old Bay wings w/ plenty of ranch. I also had one last Natty Boh, and they had some other good drink specials. The dining room was clean and there were plenty of seating options and games on TV. One fun thing was WBAL was in house filming fan reactions to the game and we ended up on the news. We'd go back when in the area again! read more

Actual rating 3.5/5 Came here with my friends before an O's game. The game started at 7 and we got here around 3; all seats downstairs in the pub were taken but we did get bar seating upstairs in the pub. It is apparently possible to call and reserve a table in advance! By the time we left Pickles around 5:20; the inside AND outside standing area was jam packed with people. Service was polite and fine. Crabby Patty 3/5, did I order this based on its cute name? Yes. What there even a hint of crab in this? No. This is a double patty cheeseburger, which, to be clear, I love. That said; the white sauce where the crab is supposed to be with Old Bay seasoning frequently fell out of the burger and at most tasted vaguely fishy. I would go for ordering a cheaper plain burger as this is what this is. read more

Pickles Pub - CRABBY PATTY - Pubs Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Pickles was the go-to spot for graduate students at UMB, however, they got rid of their UMB student discount and happy hour specials which is a complete bummer! I came here with co-workers on a non-game day. A mediocre Bloody Mary was $9.75. A cup of sparkling wine was $6. The service was okay. The bartender was really nice, but we had to either order from ToastTab (using the QR code) or go up to the bar and order. Beer Battered Pickle Spears ($11.99): tasted really good. They came with a ranch dipping sauce too. It was the perfect harmony of the acidic pickles and the crunchy batter. Crab Pretzel ($14.99): the crab pretzel came out in a "P" form, which I thought was unique. The pretzel itself was nice and crispy. It was lightly dusted with old bay, had crab dib and cheddar cheese. For only $15, I thought it was good. Spicy Hot Cheese Balls ($12.99): was not a huge fan of the pepper jack cheese balls. The texture was really mealy and the flavor was so mild, considering they used pepper jack. It does come with ranch ad potato chips, but I won't be ordering these again, The ambiance was pretty chill for a non-game day. I have been here on game day and it was packed, so this was a different scenery. There is limited street parking around the block. They also have seating upstairs as well. read more

We stumbled upon Pickles while walking through town late one night. Cool menu with fun bites but the Crabby Patty is what really drew us in. Loaded burger with crab dip? It's a mouthful but tasty! Seems like a good time if games are on and you're into that kind of vibe. read more

Went before The Ravens game. Reminds me of a college bar. Despite what Google says the kitchen opens at 9 on game days. Got there at 9:45 and there were plenty of tables. Got full around 10:30. The Orange Crushes (the DelMarVa beach drink) are 32 oz and very good. Good burgers but they don't come with fries, which are worth ordering. Have to get the fried pickles although they are a little pricey. The crab pretzel was too much like bread and not enough like a pretzel for my taste. Fun atmosphere. read more

A bar. Came here with kids but kinda knew it was a bar but they were allowed in .... Service was super fast and food was very good. Drinks were good . I hate a pickle shot $8 was kinda high and I felt nothing.... Only cans on bottles no beer on draft. I only didn't give 5 stars due to cleanliness and ambiance definitely somewhere for drinking and not caring about the aesthetics. read more

This is the place to be before an Orioles game! It gets pretty crowded but the energy is great! Would recommend the outdoor area right in front of the pub for a little more space. Their drink menu has a great and affordable selection. Had their orange crush and really enjoyed it ($20 for 32 oz). The pickleback shot ($9 for tequila and pickle juice chaser) was also a fun Baltimore experience. Hope to be back! read more

I wish I could say I ate here and it was good. But I didn't. I didn't even get acknowledged. I was at a tablet and the staff brought a menu and drinks to literally every other table except for me. Not sure what I had to do to get even water but I wasn't doing it right. Hi there. I came in around 3pm today 4/13. There was not a sign on whether to be seated by host or seat myself so I slowly made my way into the restaurant, making eye contact with staff, and sat at a table. I was along the wall going towards the restrooms. A staff member even so much as came to my table to place a table marker and still said nothing to me. read more

Great spot right by M&T Bank stadium/camden yards. When I was there it was right after a Ravens game and the crowd was loud and packed watching other games on the TVs, which is usually a good sign that it's "the place" to go in the area for food/drinks. My girlfriend ordered a quesadilla. She noticed on the menu there were only two options, vegan and plain cheese but they were able to accommodate her by making a chicken quesadilla which she really appreciated. She thought it was good, about what you'd expect at a sports bar. I didn't get food, but I did get a huge 32oz grapefruit crush. All of the crushes are fresh squeezed and for the price of $16.75 I had to take it up. Could've had a bit more vodka but it still did the trick for me and was glad I got it. This is a great bar in the area to watch sports or just eat/drink for very reasonable prices. Would definitely go again when I'm in Baltimore again, and I'd try some food too. read more

Best bar in Baltimore!! Enjoyed a fabulous O's opening day here yet again!! Great times! Cant wait to come back before another Orioles game!

Service was great, our food was typical pub food and our Orange Crush was exceptional. It was what I expected for a bar and it delivered. I'd go back again for a chill evening with good bar music, an Orange Crush that I don't have to share with my husband and a fun chat with the bartender. read more

Pickles Pub is the kinda place you don't hear about... you discover. You arrive where you're meant to be. It's a bastion of booze, a collection of crunk, this place is the place to sit your ass on a stool and just drink what they give you because my god you'll enjoy it. On game days, go upstairs, sit rightside at the bar. Right in front of the AC. Good God a cold beer and some chill up your back makes you feel close to heaven. Pickles Pub. Didn't even have a pickle. Still good. read more

Pickles pub is a Baltimore landmark if you're attending a sporting event! The ambience and location to the stadiums make it the ideal location for pre game drinks and snacks! We ordered the crab pretzel and fried pickle spears and were not disappointed! The service was great and you can tell that they are accommodating to large crowds. Only complaint is their orange crush was already pre mixed in a pitcher, much different than the orange crush in VB and understandable because of their large crowd. If you don't visit pickles pub on your way to a game and try their food, and a Naddy Bo you're missing out! read more

Pickles Pub is a staple for the pre-Orioles game schedule! The orange crush is all you need but their bar food is pretty decent as well. I love being able to stand outside or sit upstairs by the windows and see everyone in the courtyard. This place does get packed, so be warned. The service is still extremely efficient and I've never had an issue ordering food or drinks. The online ordering has also made it very easy. Perfect place to pregame a sunny baseball game! read more

Hands down, Pickle's Pub is a gem! As a Marylander, I can say without hesitation that their crab dip with fries is the best I've ever had--seriously, it's crazy good. Creamy, perfectly seasoned, and loaded with fresh crab, it's a must-order every time. The rest of the food is solid too, and the drinks are great. Add in the fun, welcoming atmosphere, and you've got the perfect spot to grab a bite or hang out with friends. I even added a photo of our empty crab dip bowls--that should tell you everything you need to know! read more

Pickles pub, a local institution. Doing it right on game day...fast and efficient, and great vibe...good crushes and cold beer and decent bar food. Only reason for the 4 stars is because of the 3 time I went during the weekend, the lasts wasn't great.....baseball game was over and seems as though the stuff was over it all! Maybe they were just tired but you still have customers...just a little more effort would have gotten the 5th star read more

Walked in on a Thursday afternoon for a quick bite before a concert and Pickles Pub was a good choice! The bartenders were both super nice and helpful, and honestly great to chat with.

To drink, we tried the orange crush and my friend also got the grapefruit crush, both were good and not too sweet! The place is huge and plenty of room for a large crowd! Parking is limited because it's so close to the stadium, but we found some parking around the corner that was free! read more

This is a place I would definitely want to visit before or after an O's game. The atmosphere reminds me a bit of Irish pubs I've enjoyed visiting elsewhere. The beer list is pretty good, and it's well prepared standard pub fare. But the most enjoyable part was actually the service. Our waitress was just so much fun with whom to have a conversation, answer all our questions, etc., that it increased our enjoyment of Pickles significantly. But why don't you get a pickle with or in your burger? read more

Pickles Pub - Good drink and food, but no pickle??? - Pubs Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

What can I say? One of the greatest pubs in the greatest city in America! I will tell everyone and anyone - you truly have NOT seen an Oriole's game if you did not have a pre-game or watched the entire game at Pickles Pub. The energy of everyone getting together to cheer on the O's is INFECTIOUS! On the busiest days, people are packed in the outdoor yard area almost like sardines in a can...but that doesn't stop me! Because then I know it's a good game ahead! Game day crushes are WELL WORTH their price. I will give you an advance notice they pack a punch! So either split one with a friend if you are a lightweight or you are done drinking for a little bit lol! I have add a few apps in the pub before - solid delicious pub food, no complaints. The staff are FAST and great communicators. Street parking is available, highly recommend garage parking. read more
