Duclaw Brewing Company, Baltimore, Maryland Restaurant Details

Food:

I had a really good experience. I went here for dinner alone when I got into Baltimore earlier than expected. I usually hate eating alone in new places, but several things made this a good experience.

I sat at the bar and the bar tender was very attentive even though it was busy. He was knowledgeable and was able to help pair food and beer. The food was ok, but the large portions made up for any lack of zazz. The location was also great. It was right on the water. The best part was the atmosphere. The people in the bar were great and it seemed like I had gone with friends rather than alone in a new town.

Food:

I live down the street from his place and I've repeatedly got suckered into going there because I remember that they have good beer. The food might be alright too if they get your order right and it doesn't arrive cold. It's frozen-style bar food, nothing really homemade. The service at this location, however, is horrible whether they are busy or not. The past 6 times I've been there (over a period of a year and a half) the waitstaff has been incredibly slow, orders have been incorrect (EVERY time) and the check has been incorrect (not in our favor). Each visit has put individuals in my party in a bad mood, despite the beer consumption. Avoid this place for dinner, it will do a good deal to ruin your night.
