This is the kind of bar that will make you want to move to this neighborhood just so this can be "your" bar. A friend and I dropped in just before 6 on a Saturday. It's a bus your own tables type of affair with plenty of seats at the scrabble bar, a few two person tables and then a few larger tables in the back. The bartender was friendly and we ordered a few beers and fries while we caught up on our own life events. The fries were delicious though I wish they'd had more spice. We were tempted by all the delicious sausages on the menu but held back due to some later dinner plans. For our second round we threw caution to the wind and both got the $3 mystery beer-which turned out to be a cider. Not bad for $3, but we were thinking that we were getting beer so that threw us for a loop. Bottom line: can't wait to come back for sausages and beers! read more

Vegetarian options I loved sitting at the bar on a Tuesday evening and talking to the bartender who works only that night. The place can get hectic on the weekends. There's a great variety of sausages, including delicious vegetarian options. I love the pho salad with the pho salad. It's loaded with textures and spiciness. Cocktails are varied and well crafted. All in all, a good neighborhood place to walk to when you don't feel like cooking. read more

Incredible. Probably my new fav spot to walk to. Nestled in highland park, this small bar packs one hell of a punch. Working with local butchers, they're able to produce sausage sandwiches that you won't find anywhere else. As if that wasn't enough, they've got a creative cocktail bar that provides amazing twists on classics. I'm personally excited to know that they not only have exciting sausages choices (alligator, rabbit, etc) but they also have vegan options. I got the The Pho Real which is a sausage sandwich inspired by Vietnamese Pho. Coupled that with their double fried fries, chipotle mayo dipping sauce, and an incredible maple infused old fashioned. I will most definitely be returning for the food, drinks, and amazing atmosphere of this Baltimore gem. read more

I was recommended this place by my sister who lives in PA but had known about it through a friend that recently moved to the area. While in another restaurant about to order hush puppies, which my sister and the waitress added weren't good at all from the restaurant we were in, that's when my sister recommended SNAKE HILL. This place didn't disappoint. The hush puppies are some of the best they I have tasted. The crispiness on the outside, with the warm deliciousness of sweetness with the right texture on the inside, not to mention the decent sized balls are sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with sweetened butter. Delicioso . My side order to that we're truffle fries... thick cut nicely seasoned fries with Parmesan and truffle oil, both a must try if you happened to visit this spot. Gary the bartender was the best, spot on and very attentive. He served me some of the alcohol spiked slushy which I hear is a hit in the summertime, that drink is a hit, 1 small shot glass of the fruity concoction had me buzzed. read more

Snake Hill is a cool spot. We had some really good drinks off the seasonal cocktail menu. The spicy margarita was VERY spicy. Their "gimmick" if-you-will is sausages--I tried the old bay brat and the rattlesnake rabbit sausages. I really enjoyed them both, but would stick to more traditional meats in the future because once you sausage-ify a meat, it loses a lot of its own unique flavor and texture. The food is reasonably priced. Our vegetarian friend recommended we come here because he loves the plant based sausage options so much, so I recommend this spot for both carnivores and herbivores alike! read more

I'm not a big sausage fan in general, so o hadn't made the trip over, but after hearing so many raving reviews on this place and finally came was wowed. I got the crab Mac sausage and it has to be the best Mac and cheese I've ever had. Fun atmosphere and delicious food. Also, I split the shake and still got a good buzz. 10/10 recommend read more

Always love stopping for a special homemade dog or brat, and beer! Great service and ambiance.

I went to Snake Hill for lunch last Saturday with a friend. The restaurant is super cozy and has great personality. My friend and I ordered the "Hi-C", a mix of vodka, soda, a peril and orange juice. It was super refreshing and definitely tastes like the adult version of Hi-C Orange Drink . When it comes to menu, it consists mostly of sausages. I'm not a big sausage guy, but even if you aren't, they have salads and fries too. I ended up getting the Crab Mac and cheese as my meal and my friend got a sausage. My Mac and cheese was great, could've been a little meatier but still tasty. If I had any suggestions, maybe adding more to the menu beyond sausage could be helpful to patrons like myself! All in all I enjoyed Snake Hill and would definitely come back. read more

OK here on business and everyone said we had to go to this "bar/grill" if you want to have great sausages. It was in a neighborhood and street parking was hard to find but we did and it was during lunch on a Tuesday. It has a couple of high top tables that can seat 8 or so and a few small 2 person tables and a bar. It is really small but we had did not have a problem getting the table for the eight of us. Server was friendly and they have a butcher type display with LOTS of various sausages. I just had to try the Alligator one, which was a bit spicy but so good I wanted to bring some back to Tennessee. They cook the sausage right on a grill so you can see it cooking. The fries were great also. They have draught beer (I think.. I was working so did not partake -+1). It is a unique place, great name, friendly service and great sausages. So if you are in the market for a good sausage, you need to give this a try. I give it a 5 for sausages and a 4 for comfort and seating. read more

The rotating cocktails on tap are always excellent! I was a huge fan of the piña coladas on tap, and currently they have a froze which is incredible. You can't go wrong with any of the brats either! read more

Great spot for cocktails! I would recommend the Old Fashioned and trying some of the house made sausages!

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night. Definitely some of the most unique sausages that I have ever seen/tried. I was a big fan of the mango habanero chicken sausage with spicy peppers and sauerkraut. Beware, they are not kidding when they say spicy peppers. I think I have a pretty good spice tolerance, but these definitely had a kick. The different types of mustard on the table were also great to try out. Although, I think the best deal was the mystery beer. If we lived in the area, I think we would be here frequently to try out more of the sausages! read more

Awesome little place . Outside and inside seating. Bartender explained the menu and was right on point. The food is definitely exotic.

I went here for the first time and was having a fabulous time until the end. The service was friendly and the food was satisfying. The reason for the low rating is because I've literally never had a bar or restaurant ask my party to leave bc they had people waiting. This is a bar/restaurant. Customers generally go to a bar to enjoy drinks and catch up and hang out with friends. This social interaction generally implies that you need to sit for some time. There is no seating time limit that I am aware of. This is not an all you can eat buffet with some time limit. I am appalled that despite ordering several rounds and a generous amount of food that a server came to our group and told us there are a lot of people waiting and repeatedly within 3 minutes asked us if we were waiting on people. I explained that we had already ordered in case she was confused and she just kept repeating herself. I will not be returning. I was tempted to just order one drink and nurse it but the memory of this interaction is still making my blood boil. Why would anyone want to patron an establishment that forces you to leave? read more

They have vegan dog options. They are field roast's lineup, which are good. With all the creative stuff they do with meat, I do wish they'd attempt some of that with the vegan options. I can't help but think they'd do something fantastic. The vegan bread option, there is only one, is also much less impressive than the nonvegan options. Again, I really wish they'd expand their vegan bread options. Good bread is usually flour, water, yeast, and salt, like so much good bread is vegan, I wish they'd supply a few more options here. The same with the sides. There is one vegan side, the baked beans. This place is so good, I can't imagine that if they expanded their vegan sides that they'd be anything less than delicious. I had the Pho Real vegan option and it was awesome. Everything I've had here is delicious and the service has always been super helpful and able to answer vegan questions. If there were only a few touches looked after, this place would be next level vegan food. read more

Delicious meal with a lot of vegan options! Great atmosphere as well. The philly cheesefake was spicy and flavorful with a ton of toppings and the lil curry lamb was great and the mango added a sweet twist read more

Snake Hill is dope and has some great great food on the menu, always a good place in Highlandtown to meet up and grab a bite. Especially before or after shows over at The Creative Alliance. It's not a huge spot so don't go in there expecting to host a dinner party or something but there are bigger tables in the back. Just be prepared that when this place gets packed it really gets packed and loud. They also have a good amount of beers on tap or bottle/can and then a bunch of drinks of their own. Definitely a hidden gem in that part of the city and I will be back again and again. read more

As of 12/11/2020 Baltimore has closed down AGAIN but you can still get your favorite sausage sandwiches to go!!! We live right near this restaurant and LOVE all their crazy sausages! I would recommend trying their current sandwich special called The Crabtowne! It's very Baltimore & so good! It's a Natty Boh sausage with crab mac on top, an upgraded Camden Yards crab Mac dog. And you have to try my all time favorite, The Curry Little Rabbit!! It's a rabbit and rattlesnake sausage with mango curry chutney! read more

This place is way better than expected! First of all their menu has a variety of chicken and vegan options for those that don't want to eat regular sausage meat.

Definitely will be coming here a whole lot. read more

I was down in Baltimore for an event and decided to check out Snake Hill, which was nearby. I'm very glad I did as I had one of the best vegan sausages I've tried yet. The Italian sausage had that crisp sausage snap, with a great garlicy flavor, with hints of fennel, all on a buttery vegan brioche bun. I probably could have had a second, but I was in a hurry. I'll will be back for more on my next trip down that way! read more

This is our go to take out in highlandtown and a great beer bar. Don't sleep on the frozen cocktails!

Snake Hill Tavern is the type of establishment where I want to take my time, be thoughtful, lay out the plastic sheets and just have my way with their menu Dexter style. Their sausage selections and locally inspired sausage sandwich combinations are breathtaking. The chicken Rico, the Di Pasquale and the Le Grange (Buffalo Chicken with ranch) are some of their testimonials to greatness. read more

Just the service alone deserves the 5 stars. The guy that works the bar, which I'm guessing is the owner, is sincerely the nicest gent I met in my life. It was already pretty packed at the bar, but he went out of his way to show how thankful he was for me doing business with him, and he was so sincere and cordial. THAT is the definition of model restaurant service. I feel like a dumbass leaving there and not even leaving him a tip. I was in such a rush to get to work, I didn't even have time to properly thank him. Sad. As for the food, I would say they are well worth the price. They use different meats for different sausages. I've so far tried 3 kinds. The Rico Suave tastes kind of like a Slim Jim. When you cut it open you can see the variety of meat used in the sausage. Weird to think, it looks a lot like an art piece, just by how amazingly patterned it was. It's nothing like your regular sausage. I also tried their Pho Real. This one was easily my favorite. I am a huge Viet-food fanatic, and this one did not disappoint at all. They do not kid when they say it tastes similar to a bowl of pho. The toppings and the ingredients used in the sausage itself is enough to convince you. Lastly I tried the Curry Little Rabbit. Sadly I was not a fan of that one. I'm picky when it comes to curry on certain dishes, and I felt like this was just not one of them. It's interesting how this particular sausage is made with exotic meats, which includes rabbit and rattlesnake. Maybe anyone else would think differently, but it tastes nothing like any other meat-based product I've tried. It has a very rubbery texture, with a slight bitter and strong organey-like taste. I feel like that taste is more attributed to the rattlesnake than the rabbit. I ordered an additional item, which was the kale salad. I don't think I've ever had a more perfectionist salad in my life, and the ingredients were so simple. The presentation was amazing. It was topped with a split brioche bun, and looked so much like a fancy Mediterranean dish. The kale was so crispy and rightly seasoned with caesar, I could just go on and on about this one dish. Otherwise 5 stars. This is one of those few restaurants out of the hundreds I've been to that I feel like really deserves a high rating. I really left there impressed with everything! read more

Went here a little while ago and forgot to leave a review. I love the fact that the beer is all local and there is a "wild card" special. The atmosphere is nice and definitely a "locals" spot. I really appreciated the bartender's friendliness and explanations of the local beers on the beer list. Even better was that my date and I were amicably offered a drink that was wrongly mixed for another person, free of charge. It is a cool, Baltimore-classic atmosphere. The minute the apartment buildings in front of it are finished, I won't see why this place isn't packed day in and day out. I have yet to try the food because I was there too late but I can't wait to go back and try it all out. If you live in Patterson Park or Highlandtown and are tired of Canton prices and familiarity, give Snake Hill a try. It's on Spotluck too, so you could get up to 20% off your bills read more

Snake Hill - Menu for the week - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Snake Hill has a very unique menu! I had the La Grange sandwich and the truffle fries and it was super delicious. This places gets full very quickly and they have limited seating inside. Overall the atmosphere is very hip and will be visiting again! read more

This sausage place is solid! Went for a late lunch/ early dinner and the whole group was pleased. For starters they have a nice selection of beers, especially on tap. The Green Goddess was a hit among the group as were the onion rings and the wings, as a matter of fact we went back to order another round of rings and wings (they are THAT good). The staff was very helpful and provided great service even though minimally staffed. The two ladies working the grill and fryers got everything out fast and hot. Do yourself a favor and check out Snake Hill, can't go wrong! read more

3.5 stars. Went here on an early Saturday. Attentive bar service. Decent draft list as well as a full selection of canned beers. Craft beer selection is what my husband craves. I had a sea quench sour since I knew it would pair well with my pho sausage. Pho sausage was tasty and flavorful although I'd prefer more sriracha and less fresh peppers. It came wrapped in a soft brioche bun. The eggplant vegan sausage was a bit dry and cracked open. It was okay. It came on a traditional hot dog bun. The truffle fries were very decadent with truffle garlic topping and tasted as if fried in beef lard. Very rich and I could only have 4 fries at most because they were that rich. Great place to visit. read more

I was torn on what to give Snake Hill as a rating. I am a biased Johnny Rad's lover so it is hard not already coming into this place and loving it. When you walk in, it definitely has that corner bar feel. When you sit at the bar and see the unique scrabble bar top, you already know this place has character. When you look at the menu, you see something that is simple and concise. Sausage and Beer. Exactly what they advertise. The good news is that they do have a few other options if you are not into meat stuffed into casings; such as salads, vegan sausages, fries, hush puppies, etc. The one complaint that I am sure Snake Hill will receive is that you have to order everything at the bar. There are no servers or waiters, only bartenders. So people will certainly come in and expect to get service. So please, go to the bar and order your drinks and food! The Beer: The beer list is what I would call OK. It looks very similar to the beer list at Johnny Rad's but they do have a few more taps then Johnny Rad's. A lot of the beer lists in Baltimore are starting to look the same except for a couple locations. I am hoping that they will get some unique local brews or special releases on tap. I mean at this point I am convinced that the MD distributors suck, so I won't hold that against Snake Hill. The Sausage: I ordered the Venison and Port Wine sausage with Hot peppers and grilled onions. I topped it with a little IPA mustard. Sausage was delicious. It had a good flavor and none of the gaminess that comes with some venison products. The bun the product was served on was perfect and everything just meshed together well. We started the meal with a side of hush puppies that was covered with powdered sugar and a side of butter. They were super good. We also had a side of onion rings. The batter on the rings was great. If I had one complaint on the onion rings, I wish they were salted after they came out of the fryer. I like a little more salt on my fried goodness. Overall, this is a great addition to the Highlandtown/Patterson Park area. I will definitely be coming back to enjoy some more of the crazy sausage combos that they have (Duck and Bacon Sausage). Additionally, I will attempt to locate ALL the words and phrases they put into that scrabble bar!! read more

Awesome spot! Snake Hill is in an old row home, so it is set up more like a bar than a restaurant: there is a long bar in the front, and a few small 2-person tables on the other side. Behind the bar area, there are a couple long communal tables. I think that this might get crowded, particularly if you come in a big group. It's located in a end of the block row-home, so they have added in windows on the "long side" of the building, letting in plenty of natural light. It's great. I came here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch with 2 other friends. It was surprisingly crowded! We were able to snag 2 seats at the bar and the couple sitting next to us left shortly after that, so we were all able to sit. I They have a few beers on tap and a longer list of cans and bottles. I thought that the beers were pretty affordable. My friends and I ordered a few of the sausages and appetizers. I got the PhoQ (yes, pronounce it phonetically, and say it outloud). Additionally, we ordered the coleslaw, onion rings, and baked beans. I'm not really a fan of baked beans, but I thought that these were pretty good. You can't exactly go wrong with onion rings and the coleslaw was fine, but not exactly memorable. I think that's probably because I was entirely consumed with the PhoQ. It's really, REALLY good! You also get the option to add 2 of the 4: sauerkraut, spicy peppers, sweet peppers, and onions. We all went with the spicy peppers and onions. The spicy peppers and a slight kick (I think, although, I may have been the PhoQ). Really damn good. My one complaint is that they can be a bit slow. The bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed and when one of my friends ordered a second round of sausages, it took her a while to put in the order. Also, it takes a while for the food to be prepared, but you can actually see them grilling the sausages and warming up the appetizers. read more
