Twain's Tavern

I was visiting a friend who lives nearby, and we ended up here... I wasn't expecting to go out, so I didn't bring a jacket, grrr! When we went, there was a $10 cover because a live band was performing. In my older age I'm not the biggest fan of covers at bars, but I at least hoped the band would be good. When we walked in, I was shocked by how big and crowded it was. The bar is massive, and I could see the stage from the entrance, but the band had just stepped down. We navigated through the crowd and went to the dance floor in front of the stage... I don't know who the DJ was, but he was playing all the peak 2000's party songs that took me back to simpler times! And one of the security guys was on stage dancing LOL!! That was pretty entertaining to say the least.Before long, the band returned... and... they were incredible! I was pleasantly surprised, so that made the experience all the better for me. Overall, this bar seems like a fun neighborhood staple. I can't speak on drink prices, but whew, the bathroom area was quite smelly! And if you don't like a lot of people, don't come on weekends. I imagine trivia night is probably packed too, but I bet it's fun!

Ordered tickets through Eventbright for an event at twains. The event was cancelled with no notice, I only heard about the cancellation from word of mouth. Been trying for 4 months to get my refund. They said they sent it (to some other email) but not to me. I just want a darn check sent back to me! Still no refund.

Huge place with indoor and outdoor bars and seating. They often have live music on the weekends which draws a giant local crowd. For that reason, I am not the biggest fan. I don't go often but if I do I aim for the less busy times.

I've been going to Twain's every Tuesday night for nearly a year to play trivia. It's out of the way from where I live, but worth it for a couple reasons. 1. Guaranteed table already set up for us.2. Chandler as our server. She never misses. Drinks as soon as she sees us and anticipates our wants before we even know them. 3. The food is typically delicious though we have noticed a difference lately with meat doneness. Your idea of medium is their idea of medium rare. Be sure to discuss this with your server what you expect because you might need to order medium well depending on who is cooking. 4. Though I don't know his name- the high school kid who was the host and now the food runner--- he is also fun, delightful, engaging and matches the spirit of Chandler. 5. Charm city Trivia is fun. Thank you Twains for matching us up with Chandler.

I came here for lunch one afternoon and to play some pool. They have 3 coin-operated pool table ($1/game). To drink, I had an Orange Crush ($8), Loose Cannon on draft ($4), and Guinness Blonde ($5.50), also on draft. To eat, I had gotten the Ahi Tuna ($12.99) which came with a seaweed salad in the side. Unfortunately, the tuna was dry and way over cooked. I had to send the dish back and decided to try something else. They did not have their Beast Burger in stock, so I opted for their Classic Burger ($9.99) with Jalapeños (an extra 50¢). It came with Old Bay Chips, which were delicious. The waitress had asked me how I wanted my burger cooked and I said medium rare. Again, to my despair, it came out over cooked (well done) and the bottom bun was soggy. I am giving Twain's Tavern 3 stars because there are faults in the cooking of the dishes at this Tavern. My first dish, the tuna was over cooked so I had to send it back. My second order, the burger was well done when I ordered medium rare. Nonetheless, the service was great. The server, Knopp (?), was very kind and understanding. She kept coming back to check if we needed more drinks or anything else. The pool tables are also well spaced out and in good shape.

Came here a few times for wine Wednesday where they give you wine for 25 cents a glass. Great deal! The girls and I love the reisling/moscato they carry. The cab is decent too. We end up splitting apps alot and haven't really had anything bad tasting. But nothing wild to write home to mom about except the crushes. Classic md cocktails. See you next Wednesday! Jake n kevin

Hard pass! I got dragged here one night, and as soon as I stepped inside I wanted to leave. This place is the wild wild west. You could just feel the Omicron floating through the warm muggy air. Nobody had masks, and the place was packed shoulder to shoulder. They charged a 10 cover, but whatever. There was nowhere to sit, and the few spots I did see were dirty the whole time I was there. I tried to escape to the balcony area for some fresh air, and a drink, but this place just wasn't my vibe at all. It's either the hot and muggy indoor bar area, with no elbow room to stand, or the cigarette lounge balcony area. I couldn't imagine eating food here. I'd rather eat BBQ chicken wings bare handed from a buffet at a strip club. I've never felt dirty from just walking into a building before coming here...

Great place to see live music and have dinner. Great service and great entertainment!

The first time here at Twains...came on a Tuesday evening, and there was trivia too!It's a very nice crowd here... three pool tables, lots of screens, a steady flow of customers making it lively.I ordered the Prime Rib French Dip, oh my...I love the way it was presented and tasted. It was just so good. Think Prime Rib sliced into a hero, added the caramelized onions, and provolone cheese melted over it...au jus on the side, and what a perfect dinner for me.The trivia was fun, and I learned from it, a wonderful end to a Tuesday night.

The food is nothing special. I am gluten free and got the grilled chicken strips tossed in buffalo sauce. I would get them again. Twains is more about the environment / events. Pictured below are concerts / trivia nights!
