    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

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