“This place is a gem! The food is spectacular, I haven’t had a dish I didn’t like yet. The grilled wings are especially delicious. A great spot to hear live music with food and drinks without being overwhelmed by the young college crowd sardining in the bars like some spots in the area. Definitely recommend for dinner and drinks with a group of friends- it’s our go-to spot in Towson!“
“We ate here last year and it was really amazingThe Copper Burger is mouth watering heaven, lolThe staff here was really awesome sauce as wellWe really enjoyed our time here and we will most definitely stop here again if we are ever in Baltimore in the future“
“This was our second time at OLAR. The service and food is unmatched. Yesterday, Ellie did something a server has never done before. She asked me what drink I was interested in, I explained I want to try all of them but I cannot have Vitamin K due to a blood disorder and autoimmune disease. She asked me some questions about what I can or cannot have and what I liked. Then she said, “ I’m going to make a drink just for you!” She was making my drink and half way through she double checked if I can have egg whites, honey or agave. My heart burst because she really cared! A few minutes later she brought my wife and I our drinks. It was a gorgeous pink drink garnished with pretty flower petals. I think that’s what they were, I ate ‘em as I sipped this cocktail perfection that was safe for me to drink. I had two of these magical pink cocktails. Then as we were closing out our bill Ellie gave me the recipe on a server ticket. “The No K” was written at the top. “When you come back show the bar tender this and we will make it for you!” Y’all, that’s love! And as for the food…it tastes like love… no regrets.“
“This place is amazing. I really liked the atmosphere of a speak easy bar. Long secret staircase up to a top level ritzy dim lit room with greenery and chandeliers everywhere. The drinks were fancy and delicious and the happy hour appetizers were unbelievably delicious and came out super quick! I liked them so much I ended up getting a full meal too! Definitely want to bring my friends back here!Update: bar menu changed and both the temporary madness (dirty gin martini) and the beautiful one (coconut tropical nutty) were undrinkable. So disgusting. Honestly and I don’t like to waste alcohol and consider myself not picky at all. Horrible and embarrassed I took my friends here. The espresso martini was Okay.“
“Enjoyed my experience. My steak on steak salad was good & flavorful, could have been a little more tender. Salad & dressing dressing were superb Roaster oysters were ok, could have had more flavor. Drinks were good. Little to dim, but still nice.“
“What a great venue!! Rich got the party started….. just being Rich! So welcoming!!! Delicious home cooked meals!! Delightful Orange Crush!! Started with fantastic Rueben egg rolls and Old Bay and brown sugar chicken wings … Plus ended with banana bread and expresso martinis! Welcome to Baltimore!!“
“Stopped by Wet City to watch the Raven's game. I'm not normally a football-watching kinda person and if I am going somewhere to watch, I prefer to stay away from the madness of Fed Hill or Canton, so Wet City felt like a nice alternative. It was packed! The inside is pretty cool with lots of fun artwork and colorful lights. They only have two small TVs which made catching a view of the game a bit difficult. Literally every seat at the bar and in the dining room was taken. Despite this, service was quick and friendly. I got the prickly pear slushie margarita which was pretty yummy. I also ordered a glass of their sparkling red wine which turned out to be canned. If I had known it was canned, I definitely wouldn't have ordered it. It turned out to be just OK. Sadly, they don't have any ciders here and only one seltzer option which makes the gluten free choices pretty limited. I did try a sip of the seltzer but it was oddly hoppy tasting and not to my liking. On this day, Big Softy was doing a pop up in the kitchen so the only food being served was that menu. His food is amazing and the pizza looked so good. However, I really wish I could've ordered wings or something that didn't contain gluten, so if you're going on the day of a pop up, just know their regular food menu won't be available. All in all, it was a fun visit (even though the Ravens lost) and I'd go back again soon!“
“I arrived approx 1pm, and was sat at a table by the window right away, no wait time.My server was Tammy. She was so nice, down to earth, and professional. Since I knew what I wanted to eat prior to getting there, when she took my drink order, I also gave her my lunch order. What was really good was she was able to input my order on a handheld device which made for speedy turn around time from ordering to getting my drinks/ food brought to the table.I ordered two appetizers for lunch.1. Rockfish bites2. Crab cake egg rollsEverything was so delicious. Food was hot and fresh. The sauce served with both appetizers was also really delicious. This is my second time eating from this restaurant and they did not disappoint!! 10/10 recommend!!Tammy checked in with me multiple times while eating to make sure I was okay. She made friendly small talk with me, but also took the time to give me a little history on this restaurant and the one across the street El Guapos that is also owned by the same owners of State Fare. She told me about the arcade they own too. She was one of the best servers I’ve had on a very long time and I couldn’t be more impressed and satisfied with my lunch choice!!I will be telling friends and family about this spot. Thanks State Fare, thank you Tammy! She deserves all the praise for making my lunch just that much better.-Jamie T.“
“I had a really good experience here! It was a group of three of us around dinnertime. We were seated promptly, and the waitstaff was attentive and fast. They have an endless selection of local beer, and I took forever to decide what I wanted. We ordered a bunch of apps to split, and it was delicious. It's also in a great location, being so close to the movies and all the other happenings in downtown Towson. I would definitely come back here again.“
