    I hosted my birthday party here and couldn't have asked for a better experience! The bar was packed on Wing Wednesday, but they reserved tables for my friends and me and made sure we were taken care of all night. Jocelyn was an amazing bartender, and the owners, Mike & Brice, jumped in whenever things got hectic -- you can really tell they care about their place and their customers. They even went above and beyond by putting my name on the sign out front, which was such a fun surprise! It's the little things like that that keep me coming back. The perfect neighborhood spot: fun, welcoming, and the kind of place where the owners aren't "too good" to show their own faces. Highly recommend!

    It is a classic neighbourhood Irish Pub with a great selection of pub food and drink options, a pleasant atmosphere, many locals, and friendly, attentive staff. It's worth a visit if you're In Canton. We walked over and got caught in a downpour. The barkeep made us Hot Tea Toddies that warmed us up (I'm too cold-hearted for it to have warmed my soul). The Beer cheese is to die for; I would ask for that at a last meal). We split the pretzels with the beer cheese. I had the Fat Tire Cheese bomb with the house Beer Cheese (add the option fried onions and grilled peppers). The fries were perfect. My hubby had the Stout Mac and Cheese (with bacon and the house bread crumbs)- the best Mac and Cheese in Baltimore (and it doesn't even have crab) We are lucky we walk 1/2 a mile before and after visiting so we can indulge here. If you drive then you will have to come back again and again and try everything over time.

    This place has AWESOME innovative cocktails. I go to a lot of speakeasy's and cocktail lounges in and out of the country and i really like the creativity they have. I will say they make their flavorings, syrups, etc., in house so they do run out of certain things so that said if you see a drink you'd like to try order it first. Their Desert Rose is delish and their Old Fashioned is on point. I prefer it with a rye bourbon though. Their prices are comparable to other places that serve drinks like this so don't get sticker shock.

    Cute neighborhood joint. Went for drinks on a Friday and had some food too. The Brussels were memorable! I'd like to try more of their specials.

    We always enjoy the food, drinks and service at The Canton Local but tonight I found my new favorite dish! I mostly eat fish and love when places offer ahi tuna and this particular tuna dish was delicious and very healthy! We always get the pretzel bites here which were delicious as usual. We always have great service here and really enjoy chatting with the bartenders.

    Reuben Special $8 on Thursdays

    This was my first visit to The Canton Local. When I arrived, I was greeted and asked to sign in (per Baltimore City COVID regulation). There weren't many tables inside and the bar stools were separated for social distancing. I didn't order any adult beverages, so let's get down to the nitty gritty. Once I found out the Reuben (my favorite sandwich) was on special, I HAD to try it! Normally priced at $13, it is available for $8 EVERY Thursday. Their version is served on Marble Rye; as it should be in my opinion. The marble rye is thick enough to not get overly messy with the toppings of this sandwich. The Reuben was tasty; not the best I've ever had but I'd get it again. The bread held up perfectly for the sandwich. My only issue was it was warm, but not as hot as it could have been. Maybe it sat a bit while waiting for my side? I did opt for the healthy upgrade with the roasted veggies instead of fries which was an additional $3 (stated on menu). Those veggies were sublime. It was cauliflower and green beans but they were perfectly roasted. Not too soft. Overall, my verdict was 4 stars. Food was very good; I'll have to come back for some Jameson next time...they had four varieties! I think The Canton Local proved to be a good neighborhood bar! Be sure to give them a visit!

    Awesome pub. We dined downstairs for happy hour. Fish and chips on happy hour is just 1 small piece…read moreof fish so keep that in mind but it was crispy, flakey and delicious! I also got a mushroom lasagna and it didn't feel hot enough/ didn't taste amazing after the first few bites. But hoping it's a one off and would like to try some other things. We weren't the biggest fan of the chicken sandwich (I think it was called the chicken royale?) we got either- it just didn't work with the combination inside the sandwich. Seemed like there was only 1 person running the whole downstairs (and maybe training someone else) but he was a burst of sunshine keeping it together. Because of the 2 dishes not really hitting the mark but fish and chips are great id give it between 3 & 4 stars! Will come back for the fish & chips and try something else as the atmosphere was lovely and service was nice. Also looks like they have nice deals for every day of the week at the upstairs portion.

    Stopped in before a concert on a whim and were glad we did. McGinty's has a cozy, traditional Irish…read morepub vibe, and the staff was friendly with quick service. The only odd thing was that our server seemed to change halfway through our meal without anyone mentioning it. The fried green tomatoes (not pictured) were excellent and definitely worth ordering if they're on the menu. I had the shepherd's pie--it had great flavor but was unfortunately very salty, making it hard to finish. Overall, good food, great atmosphere, and a spot I'd recommend if you're in the area before a show.
