We heard live band music from the outside and decided to pop in. They do not sell food, just drinks, but it's a cute spot if you want to relax and chat with friends over a drink. Perfect spot for pre or post dinner drinks and music. read more

My bf's sister and BIL came to town for a night so we met them to walk around Fell's and find a spot for dinner. They were interested in trying Admiral's Cup, so we went there. At the time we went, there was a band playing inside which sounded great, but was a bit loud for us to converse and catch up. We were able to order inside and have the food brought outside which was great. My bf and I shared a bowl of cream of crab soup and a single crab cake with tater tots. We also tried some of the crab topped tots his family ordered which were delicious! I loved the crispy tater tots. The cream of crab soup was delicious and rich. The crab cake was very good as well; maybe a bit more "saucy" than my preference, but overall good. It was nice to enjoy a meal outside by the water! read more

Huge space, in a prime location right on the water in Fells point! First floor has a large bar and most nights there is live music. The top floor turns into a club atmosphere on weekend nights but I love coming on Tuesday nights, when it's much more of a calm vibe and they host Charm City trivia! FYI, there are dog friendly even up on the third floor! Drinks very reasonably priced. The food menu is on the smaller side and reflects the larger Atlas group or restaurants. Not many vegetarian/vegan friendly options. read more

Very big restaurant. Live music. Three floors. My job rented out the top floor. The bartender that night (7/16/25) was fast and attentive. He makes really good drinks lol. I personally didn't enjoy the food. We had crab dip, spring rolls, mini chicken sandwiches, and meatballs. I would definitely go back for the drinks read more

The bartenders r so cool thank you Shawn, Joe, and Angelo :P !!!! they take such great care of you with the utmost respect!! ;))) read more

The Admiral's Cup - Joe!!!!! - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Check it out if you want to hear live music! Crowded but not packed Saturday night. Multi level! Great location

Admiral's cup on a 100 degree Baltimore Sunday afternoon is the epitome of the Baltimore pub hang out scene. With really good live music and really icy cold drinks, this place is like a transfusion of the good things of Baltimore. Come in, spend the afternoon, stay cool and, stay cooool. This is a Fell's Point must see, divey but hip, bar by the water. Food is really good; well prepared, tasty and portioned pretty well. I dropped from five stars to one star in part because the shrimp cocktail at 16.00 is pretty pricey for the number of shrimp (5) but to be fair those five shrimp were cooked perfectly. The rest of my one star deduction was from limited service. With no servers, the bartenders provide the table service, meaning tables need to go to the bar to get served. Since it is a 10 foot walk, it's not that big of a deal, and if I was able to grove partial stars I would. All in all, for anyone seeking the Fell's Point, hangout and have fun, day drinking and chilling in a hot summer Sunday experience. Definitely add Admiral's Cup to your pub crawl itinerary! read more

I always find myself strolling into this pub to catch the live music! The vibe here is 90s- early 2000s punk rock. You can expect to find multiple live perfomers on the weekends. I've been here a few times, and I've never had an issue. Seating is a bit tight, but this encourages you to chat up other patrons. If you want a drink, head up to the counter and ask. The IPA selection is small, and the bartenders are quick to whip up a cocktail based on what you like if you're not too sure what you want. The times I've been here alone, the bartenders made the effort to chat me up so I felt especially welcomed. If you're an international student, don't forget your Passport/Country ID! read more

0 stars if i could. Went here w a couple friends and the two bartenders literally ignored us after making eye contact and getting their attention. Instead, they would turn around and serve the next batch of people who came in after us. We tried many times to just order a drink and ultimately decided to leave as we felt unwelcome. After sharing our experiences w some peers, they experienced similar interactions. Not sure what their deal is and whether or not it's because of underlying biases, but this is NOT how they should treat customers. Props to security guard who was nice! read more

We were unable to retrieve our card after giving it to hold an open tab at the beginning of the night and after politely asking the bartender downstairs for our friends card back he flipped us off through the window and then threw ice in our friends face outside. I cannot believe that this behavior is tolerated at this establishment. We attempted to speak to multiple people about this matter and were met with disrespect each time. I've included a photo of the man who flipped us off and threw ice in my friends face. He also yelled at multiple women outside "I will beat your fu$&ing a$$". I am disgusted to see my friends treated like this after years supporting this business. read more

The Admiral's Cup - this is him confronting another patron about their "missing" card - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Admiral's Cup is a pretty standard bar for Fells Point. On the dark and swarthy side, there's a large rectangular bar just inside the door plus tables and booths around the inner perimeter. They offer basic beers to low level craft. I am able to order Loose Canons, which is good, those are a go to for me. A few weeks ago I was there and ordered the fish tacos with tots, plus I asked for hot sauce. Lemme tell ya, those tacos were FIRE! The plate came out with a small plastic container of some special hot sauce from the back and it was AMAZING. I gobbled up the tacos and I believe all of the tots. My only complaint was/is the live music. It's way too loud, and I'm not saying that because I'm a middle aged grumpy person. It's hard for me to have conversations in there, and twice I've been in with my friend who is hearing impaired. She has to use ALL her lip reading skills when we're there. Otherwise, cool place. read more

The Admiral's Cup - Fish taco and tots - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Super disappointed today!! Went to the Cup for tuna tacos and tots only to find out they do not offer onsite menu anymore. The food on the "menu" we can order from doesn't have any of the regular options and no real bar food options. Had to order thru an app, wait almost 30 minutes for food to arrive and it was cold. It was also in to go containers with plastic ware which is just ridiculous and extremely wasteful. Huge miss on the part of whoever thought this was a good idea. read more

The Admiral's Cup - Crab cake - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I was there around 9pm on a Saturday and got pretty prompt and nice service(helped in under 5 min). If you are sitting at one of the tables, you do still need to need go up to the bar to place your orders. The ambiance was pretty good. Music was a tad bit loud-but it was a late Saturday night. The positive side was the songs spanned across the genres from the mid 80s to now so there was something for everyone. The food: HOLY COW!!! The words I want to use to describe what I ate are probably not allowed on here lol-it was that good. I ate the crab egg rolls and the Maryland crab dip. YUM! Tons of crab, no fillers, and lots of flavor! They sadly lost a star because of the woman's restroom: Disgusting. There was blood stains on the floor, wads of toilet paper in the corner of the stall, and no toilet paper to use. It seemed like they were out for a while since women were piling napkins on the back of the toilet for the next lady to use. Definitely coming back for the food and a few beers but peeing before coming. read more

Drinks were weak. Security was extremely disrespectful and drunk! The bartenders were having people kicked out if they didn't order a drink within 10 minutes...I won't be going back. read more

This is the ultimate place to catch Bills football on game day. There are great food specials along with a couple of drink ones. It gets crowded especially for big games so snag your spot early. The food may be a bit slow on busy days but they won't suffer in taste. The tots were very well done and the nachos not too bad (a little hard to eat because the cheese stuck all the chips together). I highly recommend Admiral's to catch a Bills game with the mafia. read more

My boyfriend and I come here often on Saturday afternoons. We enjoy the vibe and energy. We have ordered food twice and it was super good both times. Service is great! We would give this place a 5-star rating, but the bands are way too loud- to the point it hurts your ears and good luck having any conversation with the person next to you. read more

Went out on a Thursday night and a great live band was playing covers. 10/10 recommend

Came here with a group of about 12 on Saturday 2.22.2020 to watch the band "Bad W Names." We didn't eat here so I can't comment on the food. The place was packed of course, but they have an upstairs area with an additional bar (and bathroom) which was less crowded than the downstairs. The vibe was pretty cool. They don't have a dedicated stage so they had to take up part of what I assume is a seating area to set up the band. The bathrooms were actually not super tiny and disgusting like most Fells bars, so that was nice lol. Overall I enjoyed our time here and will be back! read more

Best bar in Baltimore. From the first floor live music to the 3rd floor DJ. You have it all at one place! Bouncers and staff are always wonderful and the new food is fantastic. Get the crab egg rolls!!! Place is a must go if in Fells during the day or night! read more

Came here Saturday night for dinner and drinks and my friend and I had a blast. The outdoor seating area is so fun with the live band playing and it was such a good time. It would be great for a group outing or a date! read more

The Admiral's Cup - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

So I randomly came here with some friends for a drink, and while the venue itself is nice the crowd is very young and very Frat boy. Now if that's your cup of tea than you will enjoy it I'm sure. I did not like the fact that the closed the upstairs bar at 1 am. To me that makes absolutely no sense and forces more people into a very crowded and loud area. They did have live music....besides being loud I couldn't tell you what type of music it actually was. They definitely have a clientele and it clearly works for them, but in a sense the whole bar and the patrons are all the same. Not much diversity or anything that really sets it apart. Staff was also a bit rude and the drinks were over priced. We had to repeat ourselves and our orders quite a bit and they still weren't correct. Great place is your a frat boy....otherwise there are better places read more

Best Crab Cake and so much fun! We party down stairs and up on the 3 floor. Loved it all! read more

Stopped by and sat outside while waiting for another reservation. They definitely were short staffed (most of the empty tables were sitting dirty and so we waited until someone was able to clean off) but the gentleman that took our drink ordered was great. We also ordered some calamari which was very good with some squid and an aioli which was delicious. Drinks came and were heavy pours so that was a pleasant bonus! read more

Review from 7/22/17 - Met a friend for drinks and to explore Baltimore! I've been visiting family in this area over 20 years but never ventured out. I was pleasantly surprised with Fells point area. Outdoor patio on the river offers a beautiful view. Apparently, they are famous for crush drinks! We also shared some small bites of grilled shrimp which were crunchy and tasty. I'd give them 5 start for location and food, minus one for slow service. Overall I recommend this place. read more

The live music here on Wednesday's is really good. The drinks are also great and reasonably priced.

Only frequent here for nighttime drinking and partying. Expensive drinks, inconsistent pours, and LOUD music. The live music on the first floor is always sweet. Each floor has different music, so your mood changes as you ascend or descend. Not my preferred spot but it's always popping at night. read more

I got stuck in Baltimore and my friend suggested going to this place. Interesting spot I liked how it had three floors and there was different music on each one. I primarily was coming for food though as I was very hungry. The food itself was nothing to call home about I got the burgers and oysters. The oysters were not very good and the burger was OK. The thing that bothers me the most was I ordered a Guinness and it came in a plastic cup I know that not all places serve Guinness is in the proper glass but I was shocked that the guy gave it to me in a plastic cup especially because it was still quite early in the night. I understand that as the night gets later bars usually switch over to plastic but at 7:30 you would think that they would serve it the proper way read more

Cool bar to hangout at, absolutely criminal that they don't have fish and chips anymore.

Decided we needed a sit down & a snack so we left Fort McHenry and headed to Fells Point! This is Old Towne Baltimore at its best. Buildings from the early 1700's brick paved streets and of course Baltimore Harbor. Got lucky on parking! Yes this place is touristy but we wanted outside seating so we thought we would try the Admirals cup! So a Guinness an Orange Crush and a Veggie Pizza it is! Veggie pizza is light crispy crust with mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, broccoli, mozzarella, not bad for just picking a spot to plop & have a cold one and a snack! The menu here is typically what I call bar food so if that's what your looking for this is a great spot. Not sure if we'll be back because there are so many inviting places around here! But Fells Point will be a point of interest for future trips to Baltimore! Our server John was great and provided us with a pleasant dining experience! Perhaps we'll see you again! read more

Sunday night for live music and a few drinks. This is the place. Stopped in a few weeks back and you could barely walk around inside. Looked like a Friday or Saturday night so packed. Was awesome. Found a new fav cover band. Thanks Ricky Wise! read more

Fun bar! Great service and good selection. Also a Bills bar, so obviously it was great. Bathrooms surprisingly in good condition. Just a tiny bit loud with the live music although it was excellent read more

I was there with two other people. One of us was charged $6(apprx) and my other friend $11(apprx) for THE SAME EXACT DRINK. (Orange Crush). Note: the time. These were both well after happy hour, so the drinks should cost the same. This is at the very minimum extremely unethical. Note: my friend saves the actual receipts and contacted their FB page. He wrote a bad review (1 star) and explained that this was unethical. He was dismissed and disrespected. Step 2 he posted the actual receipts!! They have not yet responded. You cannot treat customers this way. Unbelievable! I will never go back. It's a dive. Darius read more

We were just killing time and found this gem. I will fully admit that it was dark, and loud inside.
