14 Best Bars near Forest Hill

“A few friends and I stopped in after hiking at the state park nearby for some lunch, and I think we made a great choice! This is a no-frills, laid-back diner (so don't expect anything super fancy or cushy) that concentrates its efforts on their food. The crab dip we ordered came with the perfect amount of soft pretzel bread and some saltine crackers, and their cheesesteaks were huge and delicious (both pictured)! Coming from the city, you definitely get a lot more food for what you pay, and everything we tried was well worth it. The staff and other patrons were all very friendly and gave great recommendations. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area!“

“My family and I have loved it here since 1999. Such wonderful people. Great food.Vegetarian options: There’s various pasta dishes and vegetables and salads. No plant based meat offerings for those who’d want them.Dietary restrictions: GF vegetarianParking: The lot is smaller but street parking and extra lots across the quiet streetKid-friendliness: They’re welcome. My four grew up here :)“

“Great service and atmosphere. Visiting family in the area. Not a locals only type of place and our barkeeps, Luke and Andy did a great job making sure that we felt like part of the gang while we were there. Great selection of beers and whiskeys, too! Our food was really good - wish they had soda bread to go with their delicious stew and Mac & cheese. (I rounded up to a 5 on this one because the service was above and beyond).“

“Food was very good, including a Bavarian pretzel. The cheese dip with the pretzel was surprisingly good! Usually it's bland but this was tasty. The pierogies were awesome and two from our table ordered the chicken and waffles, which looked amazing. Nice beer selection. I really want to try the spicy cheese grits!Kid-friendliness: Separate menu with multiple options.“

“Best bar ever. Incredible food. Friendly!!!“

“My 12 year old Grandson Jbob recommended this joint after baseball practice.ND's is really tucked away in a corner off of Churchville Rd in Bel Air. We were seated in the dining room promptly. (They have a separate bar)Ordered the Rock Fish Fingers, Wings and fries and a few Coca-Colas to wash down our gullet.Rock Fish Finga's were served HOT and Crispy. An amazing dipping sauce was served with same.Perfect !!!!Boneless Wings also served HOT. Crispy KFC type of batter. Juicy inside. GOOD LORD.The hot fries were served boardwalk style. My personal favorite.I will be back.Kudos to the CHEF.NOBODY PUTS ND's IN THE CORNER.“

“I wish I could give 6 starts for service - DJ was so accommodating and friendly! My colleague and I actually left feeling lucky he was our server today. Thanks for making us feel so welcome (and for your recommendation of the Turkey BLT - out of this world!).“

“I learned Wednesday night is Karokee night. While the place was very loud, service was good and food was a bit better than typical sports type bar. I like the family feel and even on Karokee night families were there and some of the braver kids even sang.“

“I dine here frequently, because the place has great food and service. Even when the place is busy, food always comes out in a timely manner. I just read some other reviews regarding quality of food, and pricing. As far as pricing, while some menu items have gone up over the past couple of years, I still find their portion to price ratio to be good. If you’re going to complain about prices going up, I guess you don’t do the grocery shopping in your house. Don’t expect a business to maintain prices from 4/5 years ago. Everything is more expensive today. If you find it too expensive for your liking, stay home and cook your own meal. Food quality: I’ve never had a disappointing meal here, and have tried just about everything on the menu.“

“I cannot say enough about this place. From the staff, the food and drink, the atmosphere, and the events/specials, Uncle's knocks it out of the park. We've made so many friends here, and go at least once a week. I had my bachelor party dinner at Uncle's and they hosted my mom's surprise 60th birthday for 35 people in their banquet room. The tiki bar is incredible, and you cant beat the happy hour appetizer specials. My wife and I love going on Tuesdays, because it's right next to Horizon Cinemas, and the movies are half off. Amazing date night, and if you're a sports fan it's a great place to watch the game. They just launched a new menu and it's their best work yet. Locally sourced meats, fish, and produce, with a newly added wood grill. Highly reccomend.Vegetarian options: They make custom orders for us all the time. Ask to modify any dish and they willDietary restrictions: They make custom orders for us all the time. Ask to modify any dish and they willKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, and dog friendly lol. Bring the whole family.“

“I've been going to the Silver Spring Mining Company for years (since it was the Silver Spring Inn!) The food is excellent, including my favorite Sour Beef and Dumplings. This time I and a friend went to the Bel Air location. While the food was good, the service was less so. Even though the restaurant was only moderately busy, we felt rushed by the server. Even upon arrival, we felt less welcomed than I had expected. Maybe it was just an "off" night for the staff. Nonetheless, if you like good regional food, you'll like Silver Spring.“

“My friends and I visited here for St. Patrick’s day and we had a great time! Charged a cover but the prices on drinks were the same as always, affordable and delicious! We’ve been here before and their service and food has always been consistently great. The fried pickles are one of the best I’ve ever had! All of the food was delicious!“

“I think this is the best sushi spot in Bel Air 2024, now that I have gone to all of them. FOOD In appetizers, I tried the takoyaki, edamame, karaage, and ground chicken lettuce wrap things. They were all decent but nothing stood out nearly as well as the dinosaur eggs (which are not eggs, but a sushi thing), and so I strongly recommend those. Nice to see something unique and tasty! In terms of the other food, my friend gets various rolls and everything I have tried has been tasty. But I'm a big sashimi fan, especially as I can tell the quality of the fish after I've had it. And this is pretty good quality! That quality is a part of what sets this place apart from the other sushi spots in Bel Aid. SERVICE I've had the same woman serve us every time I went by coincidence, but she's always been very polite and well attentive without being pushy. Really liked her. AMBIANCE It's a casual and family friendly spot but also good for dates. There are booths that are decently well separated from other people so you do feel like you can get some hint of privacy here. Lighting and music were pleasant.“

“Great little dive bar with super good music.HD potato chips. Wasn't told if they have food or not. Had a bag o potato chips. The band was outstanding. A dude and his daughter on bass who sang. What a show!!!! Had a great time. Friendly crowd.“
