Stopped in last week while in town on business. A couple of their own brews on tap with a decent, if limited, selection of other brews on tap. I can imagine this place, and the bar downstairs, get quite busy being in the middle of a college town. The local beer was good if not exceptional. Their food is pretty good also, though it focuses mostly on sandwiches. People in the bar and working behind the bar seem fairly friendly. Not a bad establishment for being in the middle of nowhere.

Quaint old building in the center of Westminster, not too far from where the Ravens practice. This place used to be an antique store, and it looks like they might have kept a lot of the fixtures. Gives the place a nice, warm feeling. Service at the bar was very attentive. Food was standard issue and well prepared. They have a Sunday Brunch that is very popular. Taps have expanded to 20, of which 5 or so are dedicated to the house brews. Their cask conditioned Fall Porter stood out for us. They also have a downstairs bar but it was closed when we visited. A good choice if you are in the area. O’Lordan’s Irish Pub is right across the street if you want a change of pace.

I liked this place. Old British brown bar feel, high ceilings, dark, old wood panelling, and a freakin’ awesome horizontal ceiling fan that looks like a bunch of canoe paddles. On Friday’s 4-7pm they have 25 cent oysters, which go so well with their cask stout. Beer was decent enough, service was curt and to the point, reminded me of beer wenches in Germany, but I enjoyed my visit otherwise.

Downstairs bar very dark with load music, upstairs bar small with medium noise, but not that much room. 4 beers of their own, and the bar had 3 guest taps. Their own beers ranged from poor to good. Dining room very beutifully decorated, set in an old building and very well restored, even the brewhouse fits in with the old setting. The food is quite pricy - pretty upscale. But even with the high prices my side dish of salad was really disappointing - even for US standards, which are well below the level you get in Denmark. The service was friendly, but didn’t seem to know that much about the beers. Go here to get four ticks.
