Nice little place. Nice tap selection and same with the bottles. Some are priced a bit high, but 120 Minute was $7 on draft. Food was good even though they only had the cold selections at 7pm on a Saturday. Definitely will go back again.

Lot’s of folks hanging out willing to talk beer with you. Taps rotate pretty much nightly, as one blows you never know what will be put on next. One evening the patrons even got to vote on what when on next. Bartenders are knowledgable and willing to give you a sample to find your fav. There is also a glass front beer cooler with even more selections including Magners Cider :)

This place rocked-great local feel to the place. 17 rotating micro taps- 2 blew when I was there & 2 DIFFERENT micro’s were immediately put on to replace them! Had Mc Chouffe, Unita Monkshine, 3 Philosophers, a couple Victorys, Weyerbacher XIII...Good bottle list as well. Good bar food, place is small so I’d get there early-particularly on the weekend. Had a good band playing on the Friday night I was there & lots of folks came in for the micros. Had folks drinking swill as well, but they managed to serve both crowds well. Samplers were available but they were free w/letting you try before you buy. I hadn’t been here in several years; I always liked the look of the place, but not much else about it. If I lived in this area, this would be my local. This place is a much better choice than Ellicott Mills brewing down the street-far superior beer choices.

Cozy place. nice tap and bottle choices. 17 taps- allagash currieux, dubbel, weyerbacher. avery/RR colab, hennepin, north coast old stock, flying dog-double dog, cant remember the rest. bottles- pretty much everything available in MD. didnt try the food. seemed like a bar foods menu. live music, most nights. cover tunes. nightly specials. price-$3-$8 a beer. most people drinking miller lites in there. but I noticed a few beer seekers as well. overall, quality establishment. a good beer bar..

Very nice, 100 year old building on Main St in historic Ellicott City, just one block from Ellicott Mills Brewpub. New owner with a passion for good beer. The 17 taps were all good selections with no crap in sight. 60+ bottles if you cannot find what you want on draft. Good food, great service, pleasant crowd. Warm, inviting interior. Live music most nights. Plenty of TV’s to handle your sports viewing needs. Lots of parking within an easy walk. If you have not been recently, you owe it to yourself to give it another try.
