Captain Larry's Bar & Grill

Friendly bar frequented by locals of the neighborhood. A Cheers type vibe, like a second home after awhile. The food is good, brunch on Sundays, tarot readings on Thursdays, and Jules, who is an absolute Jewel, works on Mondays! Opens at 4pm, kitchen at 5pm. They also host occasional vendors events which is always nice. Its a great spot to watch the game, hear some live music on weekends, and the owners are lovely people who make you feel at home.Be sure to stop by if you're in the area for an authentic Baltimore experience!

What a vibe! I came for Ani-Mondays (anime Mondays) and it did not disappoint. They had Inyuasha on, a tarot card reader, and lots of board games. There was a good mix of 20 and 30 something's, families, and singles. I got the fish tacos and will be back for more options on the menu. Everyone in and out was friendly and relaxed. First time there, won't be the last. Shout out to Jules, my server and one of my mutuals. They're great at their job!

Love this place. Pretty iconic. We have walked by here so many times. After seeing Santa at Riverside Park, we were walking back to Cross St Market. We stopped to pet a little 12 week old Boxer. When we looked up & saw Larry's, we said let's do it.Sat outside. 55 degrees on Dec 17 around 7 pm. Wow!Bologna & egg grilled cheese and Baja Fish Tacos!Owners came out a couple times to check on us. Cool neighborhood place as everybody seemed to know each other.

Cap. Larry's is a neighborhood favorite with some awesome signature dishes. Having eaten almost everything on the menu I can wholeheartedly recommend several notable items. Firstly for aps: the buffalo wings stand tall against any out there, also the HoJo style clam strips and Cheese curds are fried delights. For entrees the Fish Sammy (mahi with fresh veg on wheat) can hardly be beat and is one of my favorites but lately I've been addicted to the Devin Burger ( cheese, bacon, avocado, fried egg, special sauce). However both of these and most other prepared foods on earth pale in comparison to Larry's totally legit Crab Cakes. They are just ridiculously perfect. If you are looking for the quintessential MD crab cake, this is it. Owned and operated by one of the friendliest brother / sister teams on earth, you can feed good supporting this family friendly divey neighborhood anchor spot.

Larry's is an institution. It is the quintessence of a neighborhood bar. It contributes to a wonderful sense of community, and both the owners and patrons are wonderful. I have met so many of my neighbors simply by sitting outside with my dog!The draft selection is solid and features some wonderful breweries, and while Covid has scaled down the food menu everything I have tried has been wonderful. Not fancy, no frills, just genuine warmth and hospitality.

Captain Larry's is the best bar in Baltimore, especially if you're looking for your own personal "Cheers" in charm city! Every person there will greet you with a friendly hello and warm smile, then you can absolutely guarantee you will come back for the delicious menu (more than your standard bar fare) and just to chat with the owner Mara, or one of the amazing bartenders! I can't say enough great things about their food, especially Sunday brunch and the drinks are always !!It's a gem of a bar in the Federal Hill area that is more chill than what you find on Cross Street. Basically, it's a fun, friendly, warm, and welcoming place to go and perhaps even meet some new friends! The loyal customer base is obviously due to all the factors above so you know that it's going to become one of your longtime fave spots in Charm City. Oh and not to mention--it is DOG FRIENDLY!!! Yes, bring your cute big or little pal to brunch and maybe you can also spoil them with a bite of the amazing meal you will receive!TLDR: GO TO CAPTAIN LARRY'S AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!

Had to frequently interrupt our loud, boozy bartender from conversation with patrons to get basic service like silverware.Food is mediocre at best.Ambiance is like a fraternity tap room: loud, and smelly.Don't fall for the 'neighborhood gem' marketing description. There are plenty of Baltimore establishments with roots and history that also take care with their food and service.

We love this neighborhood mainstay. They have signature staples like the fish tacos and crab cakes (my fav summer meal is the crab cake, side Cesar and a glass of white wine) but also a variety of specials. They make amazing soups, and have a great brunch (our daughter loves the French toast with berries and fresh cream). Very family friendly- they have board games, side walk chalk and they support so many local schools and charities. Ive ordered their crab quiche for family holidays and it's always a hit- easy and delicious. We had our son's baptism party there. It was great to have so many people in a family friendly space instead our row home. It's just makes for a nice casual meal.

Best crab cakes in the area. Love the decor. Looks like they had a lot of board games for game nights. Fun dive. Will be back again.

They always have something fun going on, there's been live music, card readers, themed events for holidays, books and drinks (they just recently put a book box outside!!) and I heard there's talk about a tie dye event?! They even have a big stack of board games for a relaxing night with family and friends - the bartenders are so nice, and the owners! I've gotten to know them and they're apart of my neighborhood family. I know they look out for their people and community.
