Penny Black

Stopped by here on Thursday night to grab dinner and drinks with a friend, and it was such the perfect place for a catch up. There is plenty of seating as well as bar seating! I know we got there pretty early, so we were one of the first people in the place. Our waiter was super friendly, and our food came out incredibly quick. I had the pub club, which was delicious but definitely a big sandwich. My friend had the chicken pot pie, and she said it was delicious! We also had drinks, all of which were good as well! I wanted to have a spicy margarita, and even though they didn't have on the menu, the bartender just created one! Overall would come here again!

Chill pub in Baltimore!My husband and I stopped in here for some crab cakes and drinks while strolling through the city.No price on the crab cakes on the menu - they were expensive but very good! Service was also fast with the drinks, which were also very good. Overall good experience.

Every time I'm in Fells, I somehow always wonder "Where should we eat?" amongst all of the little bar-restaurants along Thames Street. With lots to choose from, let me urge you to walk down 1 more block and sit outside at Penny Black. The views of the water are top notch and the food is even better. Their menu goes well beyond "bar food" and is delicious. We got the bacon wrapped goat cheese jalapeños (need I say more ), fried oysters, smoked wings, chicken Caesar salad (with homemade dressing) and the burger "fancy style". It was all TOP NOTCH and the wings and burger outdo any of the others you'll get at restaurants along the same strip. Also, the beer, wine, and cocktail menu is lovely and we enjoyed an IPA draft. Service was quick and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It's truly an underrated gem in Fells for casual but delicious food!

Penny Black was a pleasant find for lunch. We sat outside - which was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We shared the pound of OldBay shrimp as a wonderful start to the meal. One of us had the crab cake sandwich - delicious (nice bun, with tomato and lettuce) - while the other had arguably the best Oyster po boy ever experienced (oysters were brimming out of the roll with a wonderful sauce). The sides of cole slaw and fries were both great. The slaw was a homemade nice and light side while the fries were too good (meaning then we can't stop eating them). Only difficulty is the same one with all of Fells Point - got to find a place to park!

Crab Cake Sandwich is convincing at a pub in Baltimore!Fries was pretty good. Crab Cake was satisfying, good portion and fresh. Came across 2 crab shell inside the crab cake though.The bun choice was the downside, not complimenting well, big and dry.

Nestled across the harbor, this would be an ideal spot to eat...but the food just ok. For a drink, this would be a good spot at the corner with limited outdoor seating. Ambiance: tavern/bar. relaxed and casual. good for casual night with friends or family. Family friendly. Food: your usual pub fare. wings, burgers, calamari, steamed shrimp (their special), turkey club, etc. Wings are dry rubbed with spices and grilled. Slightly dry. Turkey club is also dry but decently flavorful. Service: we sat outside and it was first come first serve in grabbing a table. staff was very friendly and checked in on us as much as possible given she was alone. Drinks: beer (cans and draft), decent selection of wine and about 10 cocktails Likelihood to return: 5/10, likely only for drinks outside.

Stumbled upon this bar a while back and finally got back around to checking it out. It has a chill neighborhood bar vibe, but it also has some cool food options---I would definitely return.GLOWS:-Service was friendly and efficient. -The chicken pot pie was much different than I'm used to, but I enjoyed it.-Smoked wings were perfectly crisp-They have outdoor and indoor seating. Indoor gets very dark and moody as the sun sets! GROWS:-ordered the wings naked lacked flavor. I'm not sure how they season them before preparation, but they definitely depend on sauce. -Bathroom could use a little TLC

Very chill place, with a long bar for the sitting, and welcoming deep red walls. It's much quieter than most of its neighbors, which makes it a great spot to get a cheap beer and enjoy a conversation.

I had drinks at Penny Black a few weeks ago with a friend who lives in the area, and I really enjoyed it. It had definite vibes - old school, traditional neighborhood bar vibes. It feels retro and cool without seeming to try too hard. The service was good, and - while I stuck to classic cocktails - the drinks were good as well. Definitely a cool spot I'd be happy to find myself at again.

This is a quintessential Baltimore Fells Point bar. It's one of the few places that serves food late. It's bar food, nothing to write home about but sometime the food shocks you, in how good it can be. I love the ambiance of the bar - there's something about the tin roof and the red light of Penny Black that casts a glow. There's a decent beer on tap selection but you don't come here for cocktails or wine. It's a dive bar! The staff is friendly usually the same career bartenders which makes it feel so special. It's quieter than other fells point bars which is the best. You almost feel transported when you come in here.
