Located in the Belvedere hotel , this spot is bursting with a convivial atmosphere, good beer list and solid food. Gets pretty busy but for good reason. A great spot in Mount Vernon .

Derrick Vaughan

The Owl Bar is one of those local go to spots. It's only 10 minutes away from the Inner Harbor and The Charm'tastic Mile.

Don't look for it by the address ...it's located inside the Belvedere hotel , try the Sweet baby Jesus on tap...it's amazing !

Baltimore's Best Bars 2013: " The bar located on the Belvedere Hotel’s first floor retains a sense of history that’s easy to feel but difficult to accurately describe." http://bsun.md/1jEnkNx

Didi McElroy

A fave old Bmore haunt and a great date night ambience. Best food is the steak and frites or the amazing pizzas

Burger is awesome. The crab dip is also great. They make very good drinks and the service is exceptional.

Stephen Legault

Great pizza ! Had one night in Baltimore and I'm glad I came here. Good beers on tap as well .

J McGee

Great, historic place. It was a surprise find, but an awesome one. Good beer selection , but atmosphere rocks.

David Gavin

Half the fun is finding it! Really cool setting to go with a great food and drink menu

Rachel L

Awesome truffle burger and duck fat fries

Hexxor Leiva

Any of the pizzas can be made into its own thin crust version which is amazing. Also not on the menu , "Red Pizza " : pepperoni , sausage , and I believe beef .

Greg S.

Twenty beers on tap and delicious food. Be aware: Owl Bar will not split a check between more than three credit cards.

Jonathan Lobb

Now under new ownership the place is seeing a real revival in its level of service and food quality. Check out the awesome paninis and don't forget to get ice cream after dinner .

BaltimoreGal

Great salads for lunch . Good bar , great classic drinks .

Quinn Rask

Great atmosphere, one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Baltimore

Becky

the umami burger was possibly the best burger i have ever eaten in my life.

Donna Gardner

Be sure to have a sidecar and an Ahi Tuna BLT! You won't be disappointed.

Steve Speicher

Great draft selection ! Local and original brews.

Sean Connors

Try the yard of beer . Make sure not to break the glass it comes in though, unless you want an additional $125 added to your check.

Britt Antony

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere! Come during happy hour !

Craig Thompson

Try the Bloody Mary Bar - Really cool concept and spicy options are good

Chris Richards

Feels like you're stepping back in time. Nice atmosphere.

Eric Schell

The portobello fries are incredible. Order extra sauce.

Brian Mitchell

Walk through the lobby of the Belvedere, try to shake the feeling that you are in the Shining, the bar is at the back

Elizabeth Rice

DUCK . FAT. FRIES! Hands down the best duck fat fries in the city .

Ann Marie B

Awesome history, great vibe, good food & drink (when they're all stocked up).

Mike McCarthy

New management or not... I still refer to this place as the "Out Bar " as they run out of practically everything. Always have a back up in mind... You'll need it!

Rachel L

get the yard of beer or the umami burger. Read more

Mary H. Nahorniak

Classic stop for out-of-town guests. Have them guess the third line of the owl riddle that's on the front wall.

Sean Singarayar

Duck fat fries , craft cocktails , draft beer

Campbell Bird

Good spot for a draft beer . Food is all right, but portion sizes seem a little small.

Steve Speicher

One pizza is enough for two to share, and the blue collar chili is rather large and filling.

Larisa Grollemond

Cool spot for a late-night drink

Ask for Jess and Rachael - they are the best and the cutest!

Steven Miller

Loved everything about it! A must see, but don't try the wings

Melissa Ray

Sunday brunch . $12 bottomless bloody marys and mimosas !

Ryan Kearney

Don't come for brunch . Heavy metal music . Sour bartender . And they're out of waffles .

Mike McCarthy

They still are incapable of supplying everything they list on the menu - Long Live "The OUT Bar !"

Jonathan Knox

This is a legendary bar !

Amar Weisman

This place settles the big question once and for all: the spirit of Vienna is alive in Baltimore proper.

evelyn

Pizza was good! Don't get the caesar salad

Cracken .

Great historic bar with a terrific "Prohibition" back story.

Leandro Lagera

Still love this place but it feels run down these days

Caitlin McAteer

Avoid on Friday night: service drags. Bartenders seem more interested in clustering by the service window & chatting with other staff or watching the Os game. Didn't even ask if I wanted a 2nd drink.

Ali K

Get the Greek pizza . You won't be disappointed.

Scott Cover

Order yourself a Knob Creek Manhattan or two and make sure to bring lube for when they bend you over to give you the bill.

Steve Speicher

They need to get whole wheat dough for the pizza .

Gary Smith

Get a Maker's Mark Manhattan ... it will be half vermouth and cost you $14!
