    Spirits used to be my go-to dive bar. It was solid and reliable. The tub of fun was always good for a spot of entertainment: guess what lowbrow brew the bartender will pull & get a free shot with your $1 purchase. Sadly, it was discontinued, but I hear that it may be back in a revised edition. I've wasted more money on the Megatouch than I could care to remember. The well whiskey was either Ten High or Cabin Still (oh, happy day!), so I could always get a little buddy with my Natty Boh for really cheap. I've been out of Baltimore for a few months now, but I heard that one of my old favourite bartenders is back in town and serving up drinks at Spirits again. Go by to see Jeff during his shift. He'll take good care of you.

    0 stars if possible! Wouldn't serve my friend or I because we had out of state IDs? And bartender was rude about it.

    I wish I had the confidence of the terrible people in politics and workplaces who either lie about…read moretheir skills or are too ignorant to even be aware of their many flaws. Maybe I take Yelp too seriously. But it's a bummer when I see a review that praises the food, service and decor then rates 3 stars. (To re-use my joke, "3 out of 5 on Yelp isn't good, it isn't a work performance review). I have struggled with my Duda's review since August since I would strongly recommend it but I'm also price-cautious. To make matters worse I don't remember the exact crab market price but it was possibly $31 or $32 for one and low $50s for two (fact-checkers welcome). The crab cake was superb. All killer, no filler. The potato salad was very good. While I didn't love the price/volume I can't claim expertise on market prices and If you look at the drink prices this is clearly not a ripoff place. Possibly it's a better deal if you're with a group and can split some apps. In line with my slow education that Baltimore has more than the Inner Harbor, Duda's had a spectacular sense of place. It was a rare experience in feeling like a true locals place that is friendly to tourists. There's no record scratch and "you ain't from around here." The waiter was excellent and was impressively emphatic about the crab cakes.

    Corner tavern with a few outdoor and indoor tables. Opted to sit outside as it was nice out and you…read morecan see the river. Service was very friendly and attentive. I'm not much of a drinker, so I just got an Unsweetened Iced Tea, which came with a lemon wedge and different sugar packets. They do have a large variety of drinks and seasonal specialties. The Chili Bake was piping hot! A couple croutons were a bit stale, but good overall. I love the textures and flavor. The Crab Cake (MP of the day was $30.99) with Potato Salad (and cocktail sauce - can also get tartar sauce) is a big ball of lump crab. It's a bit too crispy for me, but would definitely be good for most people. The potato salad had great texture. A chill spot to hit for good food (and drinks!)

    Honestly, if I had wanted to be nagged at while drinking, I would have just grabbed a six pack and…read moregone to my parent's house. As Ruth C's review states we went on an off day when the taps weren't working (they have six beers on draft). The bartender (owner, I believe) got us bottles of cider and cans of natty boh and then watched us like a hawk. This lady must have the mortgage paid off on the bar because she was not shy in telling us what to do. We were clearly under her roof. While we were here, she would say things like: Don't put your purse there, hon. Don't shoot the pool balls in my direction Don't put your drink there Clean your room You should dress warmer You're sitting too close to the TV You could have called. Ok the last few comments, may have not come out of her mouth and I just projected that but you get the gist of it. I don't know about you but I kind of prefer my bohs without the kvetching. I'm sure she does it as a good, character-building thing, bless her heart. About the bar called bar. It's a true dive. It's not fancy. Very un-Fells Point like, and a great place to escape the crowds. I can't even describe the decor it's like 70s trailer park storage unit chic? Dude, the actual box that their toilet came in from however many decades ago is proudly displayed in the back corner. They have a pool table, basically you should come here for the cheap bohs, shoot pool and hang with friends.

    Wow, so we went in here on a whim after going to Max's for the trillionth time. It smelled like…read more1992 in this bar (the bar is called bar too, did you know that?), and it looked like 1992. A TV from maybe 1989 playing local 2012 news. The illegal-beautiful scent of cigarette smoke getting more powerful as you get away from the front door?! We asked the bartender, "what's the address of the place? Is this Lancaster St?" She says, "It's Lancaster yes, but I don't know." That sealed the effing deal on the complete and total awesomeness of the place (this place called bar). Random oddities strewn about on the walls. Baltimoreans at its finest. It felt like it was someone's house when the bar wasn't open, which is fine with me man. About five minutes later the bartender says to me, "it's 1718 Lancaster." That is service people. And a bartender willing to learn. Did you know that Maryland is home to the smartest people in America? We were there on a Wednesday night last week. Maybe the crowd that night was skewed toward mid-forties, but we younged up the place. Various crowds and groups coming in and out keeping the vibe fresh. My pool partner and I won (twice) so maybe I am still high from that. Man I am feeling my biceps. We paid $2.00 for our Natty Bohs which made me squint my eyes (I am shocked when Natty Boh is ever over $0.50 but some people that I know have recently begun to question my grip on reality). I think people should come here more.
