This is a decent spot on Cross Street to grab some pizza with a group of friends. It's right next to the 8 X 10, so it's a good pit stop while spending a night out. It has three floors, plenty of seating, and is filled with pictures of dogs. What's not to love? The third floor has shuffleboard, so make sure to head all the way up to the top if that's your kind of thing. The food and beer are pretty average. At first, it seemed like the beer was a great deal because it's advertised as being a BOGO deal, but in reality you're just getting slightly more than a pint split between two glasses. I don't really get it. I ordered the Thai chicken pizza and it was pretty awful. It was slathered in Hoisin sauce and tasted like overly-salty instant ramen. I felt pretty sick afterwards. Other pizzas looked and smelled great, though. Despite my pizza horror story, I think that this place is worth a visit. read more

This will always be Thirsty Dog to me. It is sad that they had to change their name, and you cannot bring your dogs in anymore, but their beer is still great, their pizza is excellent, and the atmosphere is hoppin'. It's a nice place to go during the week for dinner, it's not too crowded, but it's never empty. You can get two beers for $3.00 (not sure if that's still the price- I know their food prices have gone up in the last year) and they have a variety of beers from fruity to dark. There are about 10 different kinds of pizza and they are all delicious. It's a good sized pizza for 2 people. On the weekends it can get packed, but if you get there relatively early you can get a booth and have a great time all night. There's also a third floor which is pretty open and has shuffleboard. Great pizza and beer in a stellar location! read more

One of my favorite places in Baltimore. They brew their own beer. It's usually nothing spectacular but always solid. Goes great with pizza. It's basically everything you want in a bar. Cheap beer that is good. Great apps. Great pizza. I go in multiple times with my friends and sit by the fireplace. Best spot in the house in the colder months. Their happy hour is killer as well. read more

Beer is middling at best, but prices are good as is service. If you just want to grab some ok beer in a casual setting with friendly service, you can't go wrong. read more

This place is DELICIOUS!!!! Me and a couple friends went here after a concert and it was perfect! We got a table that was right near a fire place facing away everyone and it honestly couldn't have been better. Recommend the pizza I pictured, the atomic dog or the pub dog pizza. Also pretzels were amazing and definitely need the cheese sauce! read more

I've only been to the location in Columbia, this was my first time downtown and I wasn't disappointed! Set up was a little different due to location, but I liked it. Definitely a different atmosphere and each has a different charm. Came in on a Thursday a little after they opened and went straight to bar seating. Staff was super friendly and greeted me right as I walked through the door and made sure to chat me up as soon as I sat down. I forgot the name of the girl who helped me, which is a real shame...cause she was super attentive and personable. Got a pair of blondes which I highly recommend and a pizza. Pizza came out super quick and definitely hit the spot, it's the perfect size to snack on and share...even when you have a free dinner event that you're going to! Lol. Highly recommend this spot for good beer and pizza. Always a chill atmopshere with nice people all around. read more

Pub Dog - drool. - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My first experience at Pubdog was amazing. I came in on a Thursday night for a quick bite to eat and a beer. I was greeted by the most amazing bartender I've had in years Danny. She was smart, made good suggestions, and made my experience amazing. If you've never been here come in and meet Danny and the rest of the staff there amazing. I was Blown when they did last call and I had to leave. Will for sure be coming back. 10/10 #yougogirl #dannyforpres #welovedanny read more

A must-see in Baltimore if you're into craft beer, or pizza. Or both, like me. They focus mainly on these 2 things, and they do them super well. Pizzas are excellent and unique. Had the original pizza which was perfect, and they had a Thai chicken pizza as well as many other pizza choices. Beer is cheap, plentiful, and high quality (brewed on site). They have a special where you can get 2 for 1 beers and I was overwhelmed with all of the different choices they had: IPA, Belgian, blueberry, raspberry, amber...so many different choices. If you're in Baltimore, definitely check out Pub Dog for a fun time with great food. BONUS: dog pictures everywhere! read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch. There was a 22oz cup special where you paid $6 for the cup and your first fill and then (since it was Sunday) $3 refills thereafter. They have a good selection of year round brews plus they had 2 seasonals available, 1 of which was a DIPA. The beer was good, but not great. They also have a full bar available. They have a very expansive Pizza menu and that alone may get me to come back. The "Original" that I had was personal sized, but good enough to share, and it was delicious. Overall, the place was an awesome local place, good atmosphere for hanging out, having a beer, and eating some pizza. The bar area has some TVs as well playing local sports games. I would definitely come back when in the area. By the way, no dogs came in while we were there, but they are very welcoming to dogs (hence the name...) read more

Night life here is both fun and affordable! I was pleasantly surprised to find out that beers are only $4.50 and they bring you two every time you order! Another cool thing about their brews is that they encourage mixing your favorite beers. I ordered their "Bloodhound" which was a mix of their raspberry ale with their Irish stout. Obviously the stout makes it a bit heavy, but if you enjoy dark beers I would recommend it. We also ordered a small barbecue chicken pizza for the table. I watched them toss the pizza in the kitchen and they prepared it and delivered it to our table in no time at all. It was surprisingly very good! The crust was flaky and the chicken was flavorful. Overall, this place was a great time even when it was semi-busy on a Friday night. I look forward to returning. read more

We find ourselves at Pub Dog often when we are in the Baltimore area. Their location is great if you want a night-cap or pregame. 2 for 1 on all beers! Above average beers (I mean that in a positive way- my husband and I are big beer people) and cheap beers! Pizza- well... I'm from NY/NJ, I can't give them too much props on the pizza but that's not REALLY what they do. Don't go for the pizza but don't be shy if you're there and hungry. The pizza is more like a reason to stay if you're hungry and still vibing the beers. They're also a cheap, topping style pizza. Not bad, not gross, not great. Service has ALWAYS been a delight! Really a place where you smile and laugh even if you pop in for 1 alone and sit at the bar. But man, those bar seats are awkward, fixed to the floor, very far away from the bar (from a short persons perspective). A crowd pleaser spot if you're looking to spend some time with friends, have a cheap bill, and maybe grab a bite. We'll be back! read more

Pizza and beer-- what could be better? Weird pizza and local beer I guess? I don't like beer but I'm a fan of root beer. The root beer was good but pretty flat-- hopefully after we told the waitress that was remedied. They have your run of the mill pizzas but also some less common -- the Thai chicken pizza was good, but I felt it was missing something.. the other pizza we got was solid. This place serves smaller pint glasses of beer and each serving is 2 smaller glasses-- nice is you aren't sure of what you want or you want to try different ales. read more

We needed a place to hang out while we waited for our reservation at La Scala. Once I discovered that they brewed their own beer, I was sold. It was midday on a Saturday, but they weren't crowded at all. We were seated as soon as we came inside. Our server was friendly and gave us plenty of information about their beer. She made a couple of recommendations based on what we prefer as well. I chose their Blueberry dog. It was light, refreshing and flavorful. I found it kind of odd that when you order a full pint, they bring out two medium sized pints. Naturally, if you wanted something smaller, you would get one medium pint. We were a bit hungry, so we ordered a margherita pizza to share to tide us over until dinner. It was decent, but not much to write home about. read more

One of my favorite bars in Baltimore . Chill bar compared to most bars around here , has great pizza and great deals on beer. The 2 for $5 deal beers are pretty good and The beer itself has a good selection. I usually go with the blond beer or the raspberry read more

My favorite bar ever. An interesting (blueberry) variety of good, cheap beer that they serve two smaller mugs at a time (2 for $3 dog deal). This makes for good times as you pay for a round and pass out a fistful of beers to your friends like an Octoberfest waitress. Some of the best thin crust pizza I've ever had - give the "Fox and the Hound" a go. Wait staff is awesome and super friendly, as is the crowd in there any time I've been (no surprise, this is Baltimore!) And the best part? Dogs! Bring in your dog and have him sit at your feet as you put down your pizza and beer. For those without a canine companion, make a friend and ask about a stranger's dog, because drinking a beer and petting a dog has got to be the most relaxing way to spend a night out. EDIT: It breaks my heart to hear about the name change and the dog ban... my favorite bar ever has been irrevocably changed. I too will continue heading here for the amazing beer, pizza, and staff, but I'll never forget what the thirsty dog use to be. read more

The sadness, the heartbreak. Our favorite hang-out while we were living in Baltimore last summer, but after our move back to Baltimore last week, we're hit with two pieces of terrible news: 1) The Thirsty Dog Pub is no longer the Thirsty Dog Pub, but has been forced to change its name to The Dog Pub due to a threat of legal action from Thirsty Dog Brewing Company. Five years of name recognition down the drain - Boooo to the Thirsty Dog Brewing Company - you suck! 2) Even worse - they are now no longer allowed to have dogs in the bar after state liquor board agents told them in May to get rid of all dogs, otherwise they would be closed down. (http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/bal-dogblog0521,0,6113093.story?track=rss) Both points suck, and I feel bad for everyone at the Thirsty Dog (I'm going to keep calling it that, and I don't care what the brewery says), and I feel bad for the people of Baltimore who have lost the charm of the coolest pub in Charm City. City health officials, and the entire Baltimore tourism industry should feel ashamed. But enough of that, it can be debated elsewhere. The fact remains that this is still a great establishment, with outstanding beer, which is ridiculously inexpensive, wonderful pizzas, and the friendliest bar and wait staff in the city. Yes they've lost the cool name, and the coolest four-legged clientele, but this place is still cool, and deserves to succeed in the face of this recent adversity. They are opening up a new pub in Columbia in a few weeks which I'm looking forward to making a trip to, but in the meantime, get down to the Thirsty Dog and support what has always been, and will continue to be a great Baltimore institution. read more

A cool pub with a cool name -- as well as accompanying story of how it gained that name* -- which is merely walking distance from Camden Yards. Superb location to pre-game for Orioles' games. Go O's! *There was once a pub dog; but, that is all I remember. He used to hang out at the pub until bureaucracy got involved and he got the boot. Service PB has very attentive and cool waiters. In fact, after spending the day at the shitfest known as Baltimore Zoo, this was a welcome departure from constant disappointment. The witty and personable waitstaff is very knowledgeable regarding the menu, and city. Food & Drinks Pizzas are thrown through a Quiznos' conveyor toaster oven. Very thin slices available in a unique variety of combinations. Just A-OK. Beer is served in miniature pints. Not certain how many ounces are served because I don't travel with kitchen measuring tools. They are little and you will have to drink a lot of them. Just A-OK. Epilogue Overall a great, upstanding ambassador of Baltimore, albeit lacking in selection of higher quality food or libations. read more

I love Thirsty Dog's! (I refuse to just call it "Dog's") Was up at both the original location and the new Columbia location last night (which is closer to where I live)... a lot of Thirsty Dog's action for this one :) Of course, beer is excellent, food is excellent. No more needs to be said about that! Regarding new Columbia location (which probably should have its own page, but I want to make sure folks learn about it!) - it's subjected to the Columbia price hike - it seems prices are $0.50 more expensive than at the Original. 2 beers for $4.00, for example. The bar is EXPANSIVE, which is great if you like sitting at the bar (like I do). I definitely think this is going to be a regular after-work spot for my friends and me. Oh, and we asked the bartender, and they're planning on putting tables and chairs on the patio when it gets back to temperate weather, so furry friends can join you outside :) We only got the beer at the Columbia location, no pizzas, so the jury's still out on how well the new place stacks up to the old, though I have faith they'll measure up. Edit: See my review on the Pub Dog, Columbia (http://www.yelp.com/biz/XBVCdtiX-ZBTER1hp0cuxA) page. read more

I love Pub Dog! It has a great atmosphere, that is simple and relaxed, and the waitresses are usually right on top of you to make sure you are happy. In all honesty though, I am not a huge fan of their beer. The white dog is the best, but I would much prefer some normal branded beers instead. Their pizza makes up for it though. They always have great pizza, and I have liked all the ones I have tried. The atomic dog and the wing dog are by far my favorites, but I don't think you can go wrong here with the pizza. Who doesn't like pizza? It's like sex, even when it's bad, it's still kind of good! read more

This is almost a hidden gem in Fed Hill. The atmosphere is an older crowd than what you'd see in most other bars in that area at night. Favorite thing about the place is the 2 for 1 beers, ends up being really cheap! The pub dog brewed beer is delicious and the atmosphere is really cozy and relaxing. If I choose to have a night in Fed Hill, I'd choose this place if you want a good place to grab a beer and not spend a lot for it. read more

This place is super fun, the staff is a blast and the drinks are cold and inexpensive.

Places like t his make me want to move to Baltimore. There are so many bars to choose from in Federal Hill, all seem to be welcoming neighborhood bars, but I highly suggest you make this your first choice. 1. They brew their own beer and it's all pretty awesome. My personal favor tie is their new Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Just the right amount of chocolate smell at the beginning and taste at the end. Plus they have all kinds of suggestions for mixing their beers (Mixed Breeds) such as Bloodhound: 1/2 stout 1/2 Rasberry. 2. Beers are ALWAYS 2 for $4. For only $4 you and your date both get a beer. Nice. 3. OMG their pizza is awesome. I recommend the Cajun Dog, Tomato Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella, Spicy Cajun Chicken & Sausage, Red and Green Onion and Fresh Garlic. All of them are great though, thin crust and run between $7 and $10. If you're really hungry though, I suggest ordering a whole pizza for yourself. They're more like appetizer size if you're ordering for more than one person. 4. Let's face it, B-More is a sports fanatic town. But sometimes, you're just not that interested in game (only sometimes!). All the other bars in the area seem to focus on televisions, this place only has one TV in the front and if your in the back, you don't even hear the commotion. read more

IF you are not picky about your beer (some are decent, some are terrible; on a recent visit I enjoyed the witbier but could not finish the super-sour peach) . . . and IF you're a fan of gimmicks, like pouring one large beer into two small mugs and claiming they're giving you a deal, and IF cleanliness is not as important to you as a solidly raucous crowd of mostly guys, in various age brackets and stages of inebriation . . . and IF standing all night or playing the part of Seat Vulture is an interesting challenge you want to embrace . . . you will love Pub Dog! read more

Kind of a douchey, younger (early-twenties) crowd. And the pizza truly was not that great. For the money I could have gotten a really good pizza elsewhere, maybe Iggies or Facci (in the 'burbs). I can see why it would appeal to a younger crowd. Beers cost $4 for two (mandatory two) mugs. However, I found the beer to have little to no alcoholic effect on me and I have a looooooooow tolerance. The thing I like about this place is it inspired me to leave and find someplace I liked better (The Reserve), a little more off the beaten path. I am officially now a grown up and this part of town (the Cross Street boomtown/bar row) obviously just does not appeal to me any more. By the way, the number of times I used the word "douchey" in referring to/describing Pub Dog - about 4. The total number of times I have used the word douchey at all in the last 15 years (including the 4 Pub Dog related ones) -- about 6. I can't give it a one star ("Never Again") because, technically I would go again. I mean I didn't get poisoned or anything, just didn't like the atmosphere and didn't love the food. But in reality, there are so many better options (for me) within an 8 block radius (including MaGercks, two door up, to which I have been more than once and liked) - nah, I would never go again. read more

Sometimes I just happen to run across a place where I can't wait to run home and yelp about it. Pub Dog is one of those places for me. So as a guy, I feel I'm the target of discrimination....specifically at bars. No, I'm not talking about among the ladies (thanks for believing in me reader) but among bartenders. You jump, shout, make an obscene gesture, they never come. Well I can only sing praises for Pub Dog's Ruthie and Lenny. They were attentive and phenomenal. And it seemed they were genuinely interested in each customer and made small talk with practically everyone, not just the regulars which there seemed to be a few of. So much so that even though I wasn't really hungry, I WANTED to give this place my business so I ordered a pizza, which went great with my buzzedness. Oh and the drinks, I forget if they are their own brewery or get something close by but they are tasty especially the fruity ones, because no one is too manly for fruit. Inside, it's a chill, unpretentious place. And I look forward to going back. read more

I can't vouch for the food, although I was nosey and was watching others eat their flatbread pizzas...I was hoping they'd look into my hungry eyes and share out of pity, but I think I was creeping them out too much. But I digress. You just can't beat the price of beer here. It's ridiculously inexpensive, so long as you order 2 or more of the same beer. I think it's 2 beers for $4? And so on. Awesome deal for dog beer! You'll see what I mean when you pay them a visit. read more

Slightly dramatic, but Pub Dog is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. It is definitely my favorite bar in Fed Hill, and I frequent it for good reason. The two fer beers are a great deal (I usually go for white or hoppy dog). Ugh the pizza is amazing and there are sooooo many good ones to try. I think I love the Atomic Dog the most (VERY spicy). The staff is exceptionally friendly and always a lot of fun. There are three whole floors to enjoy the delicious pizza and beer, I always end up here every time I go out! Long live Pub Dog. read more

Pub Dog - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

A place for those "hip and cool" folks to meet up with friends, eat some pizza, and grab some beer. We ordered two pizzas: Chicken pesto and "The Original." Chicken pesto was disappointing--slightly chewy chicken and bland overall. On the flip side, "The "Original" was tasty and comes with ranch dipping sauce that enhances the flavor. I can't speak for their beer, but their *root beer* was good. As others have mentioned, the drinks come in two glasses making you feel like you're getting a sweet deal at first, until you realize that's the norm and everyone gets two. Pro-tip: The pizzas are meant for one so don't plan on sharing unless you've already eaten or you're 8. read more

Attitude! The server shot me a nasty glare for asking her AGAIN for a glass of water. I am sorry that I am asking you to get something for me that doesn't add to the total bill, but I am usually pretty generous with good service. Not on this one. The pizzas are ok. Nothing fantastic. The crust can use a bit of help in texture. It looks homemade - but homemade by a novice. read more

I went on a Tuesday night and had a ball. Great service! Cool spin on ordering beer. I like the decor. My pizza was o.k. They even offered to bring me something else if I didn't like what I had. read more

Atomic dog pizza. Order it if you like spicy. And eat slowly so you don't inhale. I also like the twofer drinks- beer, cider, tea, soda...whatever you please. At first I thought the place was closed because they had just opened at 5pm and it seemed dark. It's not as dark after you've been in there for a little but I know my Dad would die. He's always complaining he likes more light. The bar seats are for giraffes or long legged creatures. I kept having to stuff my delicious pizza into my mouth real fast to keep any toppings from falling on my lap. But sitting at the bar is fun. You can chat with the bar tenders and is less isolated than the tables at the back. And they open from 5pm to 2am almost every single day of the year except for 3 holidays out of the year or something ridiculous. They don't get overtime so be nice and really think about tipping if you're there on a holiday. read more

Two beers for the price of one? I *heart* Pub Dog! The brews were tasty, the pizza fast and simple. I ordered the bufflo chicken pizza and it was not too spicy. We sat at the private booths in the back and the waitress was adequate. Great beer, good food, clean bar - I will definitely be back when I am in Baltimore! read more

Federal Hill is well known for its bar scene, but many of these bars also offer some great Pub Grub and Pub Dog is no exception. The bar bills themselves as a 'pizza and drafthouse' and rightfully so. In addition to serving pizza, they have their own line of dog themed beers (such as the white dog which I tried and loved.) For dinner one night, a friend and I were craving pizza and wanted to try something different than where we usually go in Federal Hill (Hersh's and Our House.) When we got to Pub Dog, the place was packed which is always a great sign when it comes to a restaurant. We started the meal with Garlic Sticks ($8) and we couldn't be happier with our decision. It was baked Italian Flatbread drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with two types of cheeses and served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. The portion was fairly large and definitely something I would order again. The appetizer really excited us for the rest of what we ordered. The pizza is personal sized so we each ordered our own. My friend decided to go the traditional route and got the Cheese Dog Pizza and added pineapple chunks ($8). My friend said that out of all of the thin crust pizza joints we have been to this was her favorite. For my pizza, I decided to try something a little out of the box and ordered "The Original" Wing Dog Pizza ($10). This pizza was buffalo sauce, mozzarella, green onion, smoked gouda, spicy buffalo marinated chicken and a size of ranch dressing. Normally, I am a little hesitant about ordering pizza with chicken because the chicken tends to get dried out in the oven but at Pub Dog, the chicken remained moist and flavorful on top of the pizza. Even when we brought home the leftovers and reheated them the chicken still didn't dry out. I would have preferred though if the pizza didn't come with marinara sauce as well as buffalo sauce because that really detracted from the spicy flavor. We finished our meal feeling satisfied and eager to return in order to sample more of their craft beers and excellent pizza. If you're looking for a casual place to grab a quick slice that won't be too hard on your wallet, Pub Dog in Federal Hill is the place for you. read more

Hate the name change. Screw Thirsty Dog Brewing Company for threatening legal action against a Federal Hill institution. I won't expand upon the 2 for one pricing which I am sure is summed up below, lets talk about everything else. 1) great music. The Dog always had really good indie rock, jazz etc going, and at reasonable volumes. 2) no tv's. (whaaaaa?). Seriously. So as a die-hard sports fan, I wouldn't go to the Dog if I wanted to watch a game. Any other time the beer and pizzas were too good to resist. 3) the staff. Exceedingly friendly. In the two years I lived in Federal Hill there was almost no turnover on the staff. An obvious rarity for those of us that have worked in the restaurant/bar business. 4) this was always my favorite place to take 1st dates. There are people there (guaranteed thing to talk about). The food is awesome, the beers taste great (always help to nudge along the conversation), plus its always good to go somewhere where I knew the staff would take care of me. I hear now you can't bring your dog in (of all the things to worry about B-more), or else that would have been #5. Best pizzas are the wing dog (chicken and wing sauce), the pesto something or other, and finally (personal favorite) "The Dog Pound". Oh, and if you decide to go to a different Federal Hill establishment, you can still stop in and grab a gourmet pizza for your stumble, I mean walk home. 5 stars! Long live The Thirsty Dog!! read more

I went into Pub Dog with a bit of an attitude. The gimmick was a bit too cutesy for me. Twelve beers of which ten were called [SOMETHING] Dog and pizzas named Pupperoni, Dog Pound and things like that. But what can I say, the beer is good. The Blond Dog is as light and refreshing as advertised. Nothing that seems special but it sure goes down nice and easy after a good aikido class, which I take right around the corner. The White Dog tries to be something of a wheat beer, but it is mostly forgettable. The Amber Dog has a nice golden color, not much of an aroma, though a fairly good taste but with a bit of an acidic aftertaste. There are three fruit beers on the menu (a couple more in bottles are discussed at the end). The Peach Dog has an excellent aroma and a taste that matches it. This is the best of the three fruit beer drafts. The Blueberry Dog, however, has an aftertaste far too sharp and tart to justify its mediocre flavor. The Raspberry Dog had some stiff competition going in, my being a fan of Abita's Purple Haze raspberry wheat and also having left St. Louis with the taste of Schlafly's excellent raspberry wheat still fresh in my mind. How does the Raspberry Dog stack up? Well, it is not as good as either Abita or Schlafly, but not bad. A tad, but just a tad, too sweet (but not enough to disqualify it from being ordered again), its taste is nice though its aroma is better. The Hoppy Dog is an above-average IPA, hoppier than most IPAs with a smooth finish. The Imperial Dog, though, is a double-hopped IPA and is a bit too much for me. As the Hoppy Dog has a good amount of hops, doubling it does not mean making it twice as good. The Thirsty Ale (the only beer other than the seasonal not named as some type of dog) is a typical English style ale. Nothing noteworthy there. The Brown Dog may be the biggest surprise here. Typically not a fan of brown ales, I can take them or leave them, but this one is exceptional. It has a very smooth, subtle taste that is far lighter than I would have expected. This one is a winner. The Black Dog is only average. No fan of Guinness is gonna be happy with this. That rounds out the regular drafts. The seasonal at the time is an Oktoberfest. It was kind of generic. I have had beers like this more times than I can count and really cannot differentiate them. Pub Dog bottles a number of beers in large bottles. Most are the same as those on draft, though there are a couple of new ones. The Very Cherry Ale pours a nice color with a good head but is way too sweet. It actually took some effort to get this one down and I shall not be returning to it anytime soon. Unfortunately, the overly sweet cherry taste also does in the Wild Cherry Porter, also in a bottle. Despite being a porter fan, this one is so overwhelmed by the cherry that the porter gets lost in the background. Oh, and the pizza is pretty good, too. read more

Pizza and beer. Pizza. And. Beer. PIZZA AND BEEEEEEER. Pretty much the two greatest things ever. The pizza is delicious, and the beer was fantastic. I had the rasberry beer, it was yummy. My pupperoni pizza (not a typo) was also really good. I enjoyed iy greatly. read more

this is my local go-to place when it comes to getting a tasty, home-brewed beer and some solid pizzas. beers come in pairs, 2 for $4. they have a whole bunch of flavored beers (peach, blueberry, raspberry, orange), your classic brews, and hybrids that mix some of the flavors. ahh refreshing! i usually will opt for the spinach pizza. spinach leaves, mushrooms, and BACON BITS?!??! this is it :) love this place. has 3 floors, usually packed on the weekends, and typically great service. they also sell bottled beers that you can take home in unique containers. read more

This is one of my favorite bars - both for the food and the atmosphere. Though I'm not a big beer drinker, they brew the most amazing flavored beer (I'm partial to blueberry) that they serve in two small mugs at a great price. They also make great thin crust pizza, and though I'm a fan of the plain cheese, I've been told that the toppings are great as well. The old "open-to-dogs" policy made this one of the most unique places in Federal Hill (or Baltimore for that matter). Not being a dog owner, it was a great chance to sit and talk with someone who was. And as everyone knows, dogs are a great way to break the ice when meeting someone new. Sadly, the new policy that changed back in May means no dogs allowed, but the food and atmosphere still make it fun. If you're in the area, you need to check the place out for their beer alone. read more

The pizzas here are tasty! It's different from Iggie's (Neapolitan style) but in a pleasant way. My favorites are Atomic Dog, Fox & the Hound, and BBQ chicken pizzas, but I haven't had a terrible pizza. Their own brewed beers are pretty darn good as well. I like Hoppy and Brown Dog the most. The two combined just makes one awesome meal. My only complaint is that it is always jammed pack during peak hours. It's very possible that you can't find seating for hours. I would suggest going early in the evening (like 5 PM early). read more

More of a bar scene than a restaurant, I showed up with a family of 4 ready for pizza! They sat us at a cozy table in the back, and the service was fast, attentive, and friendly, despite the room full of customers in the bar area. The pizza was very good, but nothing that blew our minds. The price point is right on for a place like this. The cocktail and beer selection was very impressive as well, but we didn't partake in any libations :) Overall this is a nice chill place, perfect for grabbing a beer and a bite with friends. As for being a family friendly place: it will do, but there are better picks in the area. read more
