I planned to spend Sunday afternoon listening to an acoustic performer while sipping wine and having a snack. I looked at the online menu to get an idea of the wine offerings and saw a champagne split available. When I arrived I sat at the bar and also took a peek at the print menu. I saw there was a Prosecco split offered instead of Champagne - no problem. However, when I asked the bartender for the split, he had no idea what a split was. I explained to him that it was a small bottle and even showed him the approx size. He got a disgusted look on his face and said "We don't carry anything like that" and WALKED AWAY from me without offering or asking for an alternate choice. I had to flag him down on one of his passes to ask for a glass of chardonnay. Later I ordered a cup of chili that I saw on the menu "cup of chili $7". A delicious crock of chili was brought out by staff. I had to get napkins from the drink napkins on the bar, since the bartender didn't give me any utensils or napkin. When I finished my glass of wine later, I pushed my glass over to the edge of the bar so he could see it needed a refill. By this time a second bartender came on to help, but neither one was making eye contact with customers. People were holding their empty glasses up to get their attention. After 25 mins of being ignored, I said to a passing bartender "Can I have my tab?" This is not a large busy bar. Two bartenders should have been able to service all customers. I got my bill and saw "Chili $13". I explained to Bartender #2 that I ordered a cup of chili, not a bowl. His response was "We only sell one size, its $13." Completely unapologetic. At this point I just wanted to leave, and made a mental note to never return or recommend this place.

I was recently in Chesapeake City for the day and stopped here for lunch. It was a little pricey and I didn't find the food to be worth it. I ordered a burger medium-well and it was very well done. When the bartender asked how my food was and I shared that info, his response was, "Yeah, the kitchen isn't very consistent with burgers." WHAT?! You also can't sub out the fries for anything healthier, like a side salad or veggie, even for an upcharge. The bartender was friendly and I've always loved the ambiance of this place, but I wasn't impressed with the menu or paying almost $7 for a draft pint of Miller Lite!

Josh was extremely rude and continued to mumble under his breath while we were speaking to the bartender. He was the reason our group of 6 walked out and did not give our business or money. We empathize with the very sweet new lady bartender as she had nothing to do with our departure. She was very welcoming and he ruined the entire experience within 2 minutes. This was our third time visiting and we will to longer come due to Joshs continued arrogance as we have visited 3 times.

Patrick made our party the best margaritas! Wonderful ambiance for this bar established in 1780. Definitely not a hole in the wall.

We sat outside overlooking the canal on one of the first warm days of spring. Service was prompt and friendly, and the crab cake and onion rings were very good. Biggest crab cake I got on the entire trip, nice large lumps, not much filler, very tasty. The onion rings had a nice thin crispy coating and were clearly house made.

Great hideaway

Great place. Chill vibe. This is the place where you want to meet people for league games like darts or cornhole. Excellent rotation of IPAs and local beers. Josh and Sabrina are wicked friendly and make anyone feel welcome. They have done an excellent job with renovations to the inside.
One of my favorite pubs in Southern Maryland. Love throwing darts on Tuesdays nights with the TRICODA league. See you there.

Great place to meet friends and unwind. Corn ? hole, horse shoes, dart throwing, and arcade games.

We came to this beau town to enjoy the scenery and people. We came to this place because it was so cute but I have to say the service was horrific. The bartenders were rude, snippy, unwelcoming and to be honest we felt like we were bothering them. We waited 15 minutes while they ignored us and when we asked for help they were so nasty and rude I felt uncomfortable. We won't come back here again.

Enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch here seated at a table overlooking the canal. The crab cake sandwich was wonderful! We will definitely be back.
