Beer Bars near Hampstead

“We visit Leaf and Barrel often and love the ever changing selection of drafts on tap. We especially appreciate the BARtenders who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the beers they serve. We really love that they treat everyone who walks through the door like family. Speaking of family, Leaf and Barrel is a family friendly BAR, who welcome well behaved children. We were recently (Saturday 6/3/23) enjoying a beer at the BAR and a Trash Plate from Port City Plates (Delicious BTW). While the BARtenders were great and the food was fantastic, the outrageous behavior of a few children who's parents thought it was ok to allow them to yell, scream, jump on couches, bang on EVERYTHING, scratch records on the record player (yes I said record player which is another reason to come out and enjoy some classic vinyl) and ultimately make everyone's Saturday afternoon much less enjoyable. Thankfully the Bartender politely asked the adults to please have the children keep their voices down. Well... that should have been a clue that your children are disrupting the BAR. However, instead of taking the hint, the "adults" were offended that they were requested to have their child act like civilized human beings. They promptly paid their less than impressive tab and left...but not before leaving a 1 star review on Yelp! I'm not the one who usually leaves reviews. Some places are fantastic and for that, I go back and spend my hard earned dollars. Other places are just not worth my dollar or my time to leave a review...and therefore I speak with my dollars go elsewhere. However, when I hear that someone has left a poor review because they were asked to have their children act appropriately at the BAR... I felt the need to post my first Yelp review. Leaf and Barrel, as I stated previously, welcomes everyone to come out and enjoy a great selection of local beers or some classic cocktails, some live music or nostalgic vinyl, and some of the areas best food trucks. it's worth a trip whether your a local to Hampstead or just visiting the area. If you have kids, BRING EM, just ask them to bring their best BAR behavior!“
