I sent the following message to the GM through their website nearly a month ago and have not received any kind of reply. That coupled with what I experienced says it all: Stopped in here last night for a bite to eat before attending another function in town. Service was prompt to start but we were not given a beverage selection menu until AFTER we were asked what we would like to drink. I had reviewed your website for specials and was in the mood for your advertised soft shell crab sandwich but the waiter did not seem to know what I was talking about so I made another selection. My dining partner ordered the cream of crab soup and the crab melt. Both turned out to be mistakes. The soup was advertised to be 'full of lump crab' but didn't even have a spoonful of shreds in it and the crab melt while it tasted good, was not prepared with lump crab either. To our surprise, a salad with mystery dressing was served to my friend even though none was ordered or expected. The soup was served along side his sandwich when it really should have been brought out in place of the salad? Sadly disappointed. Cannot recommend your place and will most likely not return. read more

The food was mediocre and so was the service, however, I do like the outdoor seating area. There are many other fine restaurants in the area I would consider going too versus this place. read more

This place is solid for the extensive and diverse beer selection. The prices are a little high for the food. But the happy hour beer and potato skins were pretty reasonable. Crabcakes were so-so. Service was so-so. If I lived in the area I could see this being a cool happy hour spot. read more

This is a the best all round place in Annapolis. It has everything and is highly underrated in Yelp. I say come here first then let Rams Head set the bar for the rest of Annapolis in service, venue, accommodations, and food. All excellent. read more

First night of the restaurants allowing patrons to dine... tables along west street... closed to car traffic... excellent service and food was delicious! read more

For over a year now Rams Head has been a comfort spot for me in Naptown. It's nothing fancy, but you can surely almost find anything here for all kinds of occasions. Don't expect any gourmet experience or date-worthy ambiance, but for your everyday casual needs, Rams Head's got it. Quick beer on a lunch run, immoderate amount of pub food and happy hour drinks after work, or a casual evening affair filled with live music. There are always food and drink specials every day, and the place is spacious complete with an outdoor patio/beer garden, a tea room, and a basement bar. You also get free food (wings, etc) with drink purchase during happy hour. When the weather's nice sitting on the patio and soaking up the sun can be a refreshing experience. The food generally can fill you up, and needless to say, they have plenty of beers to choose from. Don't count on the wine, though. read more

I have been coming here since 2013. There have been lots of management changes and different chefs and menus. I don't come here for the food, the bartenders are great and they know your name. I come here often. The food can be a mixed bag, you might not get the same thing twice. It's the furthest I go towards downtown. Downtown is reserved for tourists and immature kids from the naval center. I like my Ramshead, I'll keep coming back. I'll still order food because I'm hungry. The burgers as you order them may not be accurate, for instance a medium rare will come back as a medium to done. Best beer selection and probably the best bartenders in Annapolis. I keep coming back. They have a severe shortage of employees it seems, the downstairs bar has been closed for weeks now. Wonder why? Try: Double whiskey burger Bourbonzola strip Ruben sandwich Crab soup (both) Fish and chips The firecracker shrimp appetizer is good. Half price on appetizer Skip the wings, I have had them dozens of times. Most of the time they are completely dried out, probably overcooked in the fryer. Not worth $14, or even $6 on the old happy hour pre covid. Still one of the best non touristy places to visit in Annapolis, don't tell anyone. read more

Went to this restaurant with a group and we were all happy with the experience. The atmosphere was fun and vibrant, good for all age groups. All of the staff were extremely friendly and always had smiles on there faces. The food was pretty good, but the beer was even better. As for menu prices they were about average for the area, Annapolis is not a cheap place. I would definitely recommend trying this place. Pros: Friendly Staff, good food, average prices, fun atmosphere, and great beer. Cons: Parking, Parking, Parking, there really is none. @Erin M. : We actually did call the restaurant and made reservations. During the call we asked about parking and the hostess said there were meters out front. There was no mention of a garage or validated parking. read more

We ordered Thanksgiving dinner as take out. It was wonderful. The turkey was moist and tasty. It came with all the traditional sides. Portions were more than amble. The cheesecake dessert was exceptionally good. The staff was attentive and friendly. Many thanks to the staff for working on Thanksgiving. read more

The mac and cheese burger is to die for. The shrimp salad is great as well. We split boy between 2 people and it was way enough food. The fries are probably home made, very tasty. Service is nice and courteous, fast. read more

We stopped in for a drink this past Friday night and sat downstairs in the tavern. It was cozy and the drinks were good. We ended up going back the next day for lunch. The place has inside and outside dining. The food was good and so was the service. read more

Hello my readers, explorung the new area and following one of my favorite artists, I am here on a Saturday night visiting them while they are only allowed 50% capacity in their restaurant and 25% in their live music Venue Hats off to them. The place has charachter. It is classy, tip-top shape. And let me tell you it is not easy to handle restaurant clients during Covid but these people are pros. They have even invested in clear dividers in front of the stage. The lady which I found out she is the box office manager, literally went out of her way to help me see the show. Although the show was free I had missed the free registration required because of covid. She personally went, checked the hall and then they found a spot that was reserved but people did not show up. The term "monent of the truth" is the key to the success of a restaurant When no one is watching, are you gonna do the right thing or no. These people have it and they always be successful because of it. I did not eat anything this time but they will be an updated review I am sure it is going to be great. My pet peeves: Clean restroom, waitress did carry my beer correctly and did not touch the rim, This place has two sections: restaurant and live music. The place has a Great and I mean Great with a capital G sound system. Overall, beautiful place, beautiful people running it. Wish them success and prosperity. I will be back to them. You guys should too. Ms. Carolyne thanks for making my night. You are awesome. read more

Very comfortable pub brewery atmosphere - indoor/outdoor dining, with outdoor in back courtyard as well as sidewalk. Swift outdoor table service for a party of 7. I ordered the steak salad option - came out cooked as requested. Everyone was satisfied with their dishes. Charming location that has been a tavern of one sort or another since the 18th century. It's also one of those bars that features a passport system in which you drink a certain number of beers (100) and then become part of the World Beer Club - name on plaque and all. Very enjoyable meal - good lighting - good food - comfortable space. The Bier Mussels were very good - as was the Belgian Steack Frites. Recommend coming here - whether for brunch/lunch or for dinner. read more

The tavern is a convenient place to grab a bite before a show at Ram's Head Live. The black bean soup and Caesar salad were good, but the lobster was odd. The lobster meat was a little on the chewier side and there were far too much tissue and intestines left inside for my taste. This is more of a beer-drinkers place, so, don't order wines. They're simply not good. Our server was friendly but it was clear she wasn't feeling well. I was concerned her apparent sniffles would end up on our food. When you're in the service industry, the last thing you want is a sick sever bringing food to your customers. read more

Stopped in for a cocktail, lots of history to the building so we had to see it for ourselves. Loved it! Bartender was great, very personable. We'll be back for sure! read more

Let me start by saying the waitstaff and every other employee encountered were very nice, and attentive. Refills were plentiful and speedy, and everything came out of the kitchen when you would expect it to. Five stars for the employees! Sadly, I specifically picked this place for the Nashville Hot Chicken, and it wasn't even close. Now, I am a realist, and I understand that ordering "Nashville" hot chicken in Annapolis MD isn't going to be a definitive example of this amazing dish, but I was not expecting the consistency and flavor of a large soggy chicken nugget bathed in something akin to a 50% watered down Frank's hot sauce. It lacked in flavor and consistency and was utterly joyless, especially when I was anticipating hot, crunchy chicken. If I was a child under the age of 9, I would have been pleased with this chicken sandwich, but come ON it wasn't even FRIED chicken. The heat level hovered somewhere in the range of a pepperoncini from a Papa John's pizza box. Super duper bummed. Guys, PLEASE call this sandwich something else. Everyone else was smarter than I was, and ordered what looked like good brunch food and burgers. I privately stared enviously at the burgers, wishing I had made the boring but safe choice. read more

Solid good and quick service. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Annapolis.

Nice little tavern on West Street. Just off Main Street in Annapolis. Nice draft selection. Dining available. Good blend of young and older folks. Lots of locals seems to enjoy the tavern as well. Visiting for a family reunion. I grew under in Annapolis but it sure has changed! read more

Visited for a cold Sunday evening dinner. Seated in the back dining room by the fireplace. There were no other diners so it was quiet and cozy. Dining as vegan and vegetarian, we selected the black bean burger with a side of broccoli, brie bites and a Copperhead Ale. The servers and chef were attentive and sensitive to dietary observances making the necessary suggestions that would work best. The black bean burger is tasty with fresh avocado, spinach and presented well. The chef caught a potential allergen and the server suggested a side of fresh vegetables as a replacement. Selected brocolli and it was prepared with wonderful smattering of crushed garlic. The brie bites boasted of a mixed flavor of sweet and creamy. Excellent evening overall for this experience. read more

Finding a good Sunday Bloody Mary bar is always a challenge. The most things are the pour and the accessibility, all the fancy garnishes don't make a great bloody mary bar. Rams Head bartender Alyssa provides great service and good company. Kept the bloody Mary bar open even though I arrived right before close. Go there see what color her hair is and get a bloody read more

Interesting place. It looks like just a small bar from the outside. But inside is huge. The menu is large and accomodating to just about everyone's taste. You can try the different beers on tap or tey one of the 150 select ones they have. Overall, I would say its a good place to try if youve never been. It can fet pricey pretty quick though so beware if youre a budget diner like me. read more

Great bar, but our waitress was horrible! She had the personality of a rock, never came back to our table and she was curt and rude

I will apologize in advance. This is a partial review. Years ago while in town we stopped in here and caught Eddie Money playing that night. The food was great and the music top notch. I am a musician and love to see live music of any kind. Back then it cost an extra $25 per to see Eddie great deal no matter who was playing Last week we thought we'd try it again WHEW! What a change! It was over $200 per to see the dude from Poison. Seriously ?? I just saw Dick Dale at the Wonder Bar in Albury Park for $35! I guess I missed the memo that made this a special concert venue instead of a cool local bar with cool music. Maybe it's different in Jersey but you can see great bands for no cover and great acts still for around $20-$30 We didn't go in. Such a shame. It used to be a really cool local bar read more

Second time with friends was a disappointment. I like this place, and maybe this was a bad night, but they were not that busy. Cream of crab soup had crab in it but was watery. Two of us followed with scallops. Besides being only about quarter size, they were tough! Both of us had trouble cutting them in half with the side of our forks! Then very chewy and not good. Finally the creme bru le........ it came cold and not like custard as should be! I asked the waiter and he told us it was flamed before delivery. NOT SO. As entre' costs soar past $30, the product has not improved! No return planned. ...... read more

Excellent food and craft beer . Kitchen is open late and for a pub the menu offerings are amazing .

On a blisteringly cold Annapolis January night, a friend pulled us in to this basement bar. We cozied up to a table directly in front of the fire and unthawed with our selection of delicious craft brews. On a night where very bar we passed was packed with people, I was glad to find this warm, brick-lined room that had plenty of room for conversation. read more

Love this place. Great service, especially outside or in the basement Friendly staff, thank you to Indian princess, love her, she works hard and she doesnt make you feel shitty for asking for to go containers for the sauce. Beware, there are live lobsters when you first walk in, so any Peta activists, or tender lobster loving souls out there, look to the left and not the right when you first walk in. read more

This place provided a really tasty delivered meal while visiting Annapolis over the holiday. We ordered the bison meatloaf and chicken carmalino to share with the fish tacos for lunch the next day. The meatloaf was served with mushrooms and fingerling potatoes in a fragrant sauce and the artichokes were perfect with the chicken carmalino. The fish tacos kept fresh until the next day in our mini fridge and were a great quick bite before exploring the town. The night prior, we also attended a ghost tour and heard about some ghostly history of the building which sounded pretty amazing. Although we didn't check out the historic interior of the building (thanks COVID), the food was still delicious! read more

Service was not optimal. One dish was served cold, waiter was not timely, and a drink was spilled.

We got to the tavern right before lunch time. They allowed us to sit down and took our order shortly after as soon as lunch started. Our server, and his trainee, were both awesome. Great experience. I didn't ever get my extra ranch though. but that's okay bc I really don't need the extra calories. The house made Root beer float was awesome. Children's menus available. They treated our children great too. read more

To be honest, this place wasn't at all to write home about. We walked around to find a place to sit and found a place at the bar upstairs. We ordered two drinks and the bartender had a lovely attitude. However, we ordered a grape fruit light ale and instead the ale that was ordered was heavy and tasted nothing like grape fruit. Our biggest concern was maybe she was pouring the wrong beer. We asked but she said it was the grape fruit. My gin and tonic wasn't served with a lime and it tasted mostly just tonic. All in all, the bartender was nice but the drinks were kind of sad and we left. I can't give any review on the food because we did not get any. read more

A nice quiet room with good beer on a hot day. My husband and I came here for happy hour before a show next door and split an order of the crabby tots (my favorite) and the buffalo wings (his favorite). Both were delicious and served quickly. We also had a few beers, and our water glasses were never empty. There was a rowdy group next to us but it was ok- it's a tavern after all! His is our eighth or so time here and we enjoy it. Nice that the happy hour last longer than others in town! read more

Food was as expected for tavern fare, good but not exceptional. Portion sizes were perfect for us, not overwhelming large requiring a doggie bag or worse wasted. Beer/drink selection was good. Unfortunately, service was a challenge. We had what I can only imagine was a new waitress. That would be fine but if that was the case other staff or managers should have pitched in to help. Most tables around experienced similar issues. I will refrain from providing list. It would be worth a return visit to see if this was just a bad night or the norm. read more

The food at Rams Head Annapolis has taken a turn for the worse. We got the shrimp appetizer and it was so heavy in breading that Once we took away all the breading the shrimps were about the size of a quarter. I can't even believe they would sell something like that as an appetizer. Then for my entree i got wings. All the flats were dried out. Probably because there wasn't much meat in them and they overcooked them. The beers were good. Maybe they should stick to music and beers. That's what they do best. Food not so much. read more

I've been here a number times. Food is generally good and the location is excellent. Service today was very good, but I've long had an issue with their pricing errors. Today it wasn't technically an error- they've now progressed to sneaky practices. They had a flyer in the table with happy hour specials so I ordered an appetizer in addition to everything else. When I asked when we got the bill, the server pulled the flyer up to show the very fine print the that was completely hidden by the display holder stating it was bar area only. The manager (Eric) refused the change (fine, I get it), but also couldn't be bothered to come back- just told the server to tell us. Wouldn't have impacted the bill much (was $150 with tip)- it was just annoying. read more

Great venue with good drinks and food. Went to see several jazz concerts. It has small tables but perfectly adequate.

Wonderful service, a friendly and fun bartender, and a really neat establishment. We will return!
