Eclectic beer menu, MONSTER tap list extending all the way down the bar. Very busy place but well worth tipping a pint there.

Max's is an old faithful of mine! I have been here countless times for nights out and to watch Raven's games. The food is decent bar food and they have a huge selection of beer, alongside cocktails and wine. They also offer karaoke on Friday night's which is a lot of fun as well. This is a good spot to hang with friends and family, and it's good for a large group!

We stopped here twice during our visit to Baltimore. It's an awesome spot with a huge selection of beers! There's plenty of bar seating as well as other seating throughout the place. We didn't partake in food during this visit, but they had some good options and some of the food we saw looked good. The bartenders were friendly and happy to make recommendations for food or beer. They also have liquor so you can get mixed drinks if you're not into beer. We definitely enjoyed this place and will be back once we move to the area!

Very casual pub. Feels exactly how you'd expect. Ordering could be tricky when it is full, because they do it publicly style & you order from the bartenders. Thankfully it wasn't too too busy when I was there. The pit beef sandwich is insane.. It's seriously so good! Get it with the horseradish aioli and fried onions. Chips are perfectly crisp and on the thick side. Everything is seasoned well. I don't drink, but didn't feel out of place here.. If you like beer this is the place for you. They have more beer selections than anywhere I have seen. Will be back when I'm in Baltimore again.

A staple in the heart of Fells Point and the most decent spots bar in the area. I don't go as much as I used to since I'm not 20 and really don't drink that much craft beer anymore. But they have an amazing selection of beers and the largest Belgian beers I've seen in Maryland. With the lack of sports bars in Fells Point, Max's is a decent place to watch college football. It is good for large groups and the food options aren't terrible. It's a two story situation with a backroom and bar that opens to serve outside. The bar tenders are fast and friendly. Definitely bro-vibes but good for events especially during fells fest. They also host trivia and random comedy nights upstairs.

A solid spot to meet up with friends in the Fells Point area. There's lots of seats and TV's perfect for watching a game. I had an orange crush during my most recent visit and the prices were great (compared to DC lol) and the bartender was friendly. I personally didn't have any food but everyone around me looked like they were enjoying. They offer typical bar food, no frills but solid food. Highly recommend, just sometimes parking can be tricky in this area.

Such an amazing beer selection!!! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and it was a fun upbeat environment even on a week day. If you enjoy craft beer, this is your place. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Baltimore.

Stopped in for a quick beer with a friend. The bartender was very nice and lots of beer options and local beer. We didn't eat since we were just having a pre dinner drink. Nice spot near the boats and water. I'm sure in the summer time it's very busy here and a great spot.

Went for the comedy show. It was a full house! I've never had pit beef before and surprisingly, the sandwich was pretty tasty! The chips were amazing and the cornbread was even better. We were able to order from the upstairs bar and the service was quick and friendly.

If your looking for a true beer experience in Baltimore, Max's Taphouse is your place. The tap and bottle list are extensive and they are one of the few places post-pandemic that has hardcore beer events/tap takeovers. Parking wasn't the easiest to find, but I ended up in a nearby parking garage. The inside is a little dark, but roomy with lots of seating options. There were plenty of TV's spread out and the O's were playing an afternoon game. I didn't have too much trouble sorting through their tap list since most of the list had sour ale's from a recent event. The Black Flag Flagship IPA from nearby Columbia, MD was a nice simple IPA, but the winner was the New Trail - Barrel Aged Moonlit (aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels). I could go on and on with my description and score, but that was one hell of a beer! My wife stuck to Delirium Tremens since they had it on tap. You don't see on tap very often and it's such a delicious Belgian Ale. Their bottle list is long, organized and also extensive. It includes quite a few rarities and aged beers. Food wise I had the Beer Chili which was decent. Just simple chili, nothing special. The Wings were Max's BBQ flavored and decent. They were meaty and lightly fried, the menu says they are slow-smoked, but I didn't detect much. My son had the Pit turkey and really liked it. I had some and definitely found the smoke flavor I was looking for. My wife ordered the Classic Burger and had no complaints. I noticed a tour going down and around the building and asked the manager if we were allowed to take a look around. He was more than happy to say yes and took us himself. The tap system in the basement is organized, and quite a set up. I've been in some of the most well known beer bars in Philly and I can say for certain this would rank right up there with the best. I've read about Max's as one of the better beer bars in the world and it did not disappoint. 108 beers on draft, 4 hand pumps and over 1000 bottles and cans = must visit. Their bourbon list is pretty ridiculous too! Thank you to Jason and the gang, you treated me and my family like your own family.
