“Y'all. I don't have the self-control for this level of pizza. I ate the *entire* pizza in one sitting. My trainer is going to hurt me - absolutely worth it.Trust me. White Pie, add bacon. Outrageous!Their bacon isn't that thin, flaky, oven-baked-to-death, tasteless topping. Their bacon is so meaty and flavorful.Goodness gracious. I ate the whole thing!“

Melanie’s at Griffith's Tavern Bar • $
3631 Hickory Ave, Baltimore

“This gem is set in the heart of Hampden. Incredible energy from both bar staff and regulars. I was greeted with enchanting laughter as I walked into the bar . They make a very smooth old-fashioned that's made in-house , I also recommend the Low Life . Drink prices are very cheap, I was here for about 3 hours with 2 other friends of mine and the bill was only 95 bucks. Melanie's at Griffith' Tavern is the real deal.“

Idle Hour Bar • $
201 E Fort Ave, Baltimore

“I've walked by Idle Hour so many times and never went in, and now I wish I'd visited sooner, this place is great! I finally went by this past Wednesday (2/21) for a listening party. Right away, I was taken with the vibe of Idle Hour. They have totally pulled off dive glam in there. The whole back wall has string lights that provide an ambient glow. There is a bar that runs almost the length of the wall across from the door and several high top tables and chairs. I sat at the bar and enjoyed how attentive the owner/bartender was. He tended to us and everyone in the establishment like beloved children...well, that's what it felt like. I had a nice cider while I was there and my friend who doesn't drink went with a mocktail the bartender created on the spot. Bathroom facility was nice but be aware there is no mirror in there so trying to fluff your hair or reapply makeup is not happening. Overall, looking forward to visiting again!“

JERRY´S BELVEDERE TAVERN Bar • $$
Howil Terrace, Baltimore

“Great to see an old favorite open again! I hadn't been in Jerry's since the 90's but I used to love to go there when I was young. I think the place looks better now than it did back then. I got there later so I only ordered some chicken wings to eat and they were very good. The bartender Tom did a great job and later on, the owner David came out to spend some time with us. Any of you old timers, he looks just like his father Pete. We had a great time and look forward to getting back there again soon.“

“Excellent experience! While my bestie was having brain surgery at Johns Hopkins I walked down to this neighborhood bar. I met the manger Dave and the bartender Merideth. Awesome people they listened to what I was going through and they were so kind and understanding. The environment is awesome and so is the clientele. Good music everything from punk, rock, and pop. But it definitely wasn’t to loud. A total non judgement zone. All different walks of life. Great pool table also. I will be visiting this bar every time I’m in Baltimore. This is definitely a hidden gem in charm city! Thanx Spirit Tavern!“
