The Water Street Tavern & Key West Patio Bar

On 10/27/23 at around 9PM after working late out of my Baltimore Law Office I decided to stop in randomly for dinner and a drink.. I am absolutely glad I did, the food was fast and service top notch.. My bartender "Devon" clearly knows about "Big boy rules" and never let my Stella run dry. Always having a smile and pleasant demeanor. Clearly, a one in a million professional and high caliber addition...

Stopped here twice while visiting Baltimore and would definitely go again. Staff was exceptional, friendly, and absolutely were the high point. Both visits were late night after other activities, and the kitchen was open until 1130p which initially served a need. ☺️ Food was fine if not almost great, definitely better than expected.

We thoroughly enjoyed our date night here. · The atmosphere was lively and fun—but we could still hold a conversation. · The exposed ceiling and brick walls—as well as the pub memorabilia everywhere give the place a "locals" vibe. · Our hostbartenderserver Candace was super friendly and helpful. · The meatloaf was delicious—homemade, thick, dense and enough for two! · The chili—with beans thank you—is nicely spiced. Medium heat. "Family level" I'd say. It came in a good sized bowl with packets of saltine crackers on the side. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Tortilla chips or cornbread were not offered. Still, I would order the chili again. Good location too— close to a few hotel chains and next door to ours. ★★★★½ of food fun!

This is such a great little spot just off the beaten path. Candice was such a welcoming and attentive server which made the experience here all the better. I like the setup, enjoyed the food, and would definitely come back to watch the game and snack on. The prices aren't terrible for the location. It's tucked away on a cute cobblestone street. Check it out!

Cute place with that “old bar” feeling. We ordered an old fashioned and a moscow mule and were both tasty and strong just like I like. We both got the crab cake platter with fries, salad, and coleslaw. The crab cake was amazing!!!!! As were the fries! I highly recommend this dish. We sat at the bar; the bartender was very friendly.

I give the place 4 stars for atmosphere, service, prices, but my sandwich was a 3 at best. I will take the hit in that I did not pay close enough attention to menu to note it said "crab dip" and not crab meat on top of the Chesapeake Chicken Sandwich. The chicken breast itself was dry and I could not taste the crab at all; just the creamed cheese. The fries were hot and tasty so, that was quite redeeming. I visited the Tavern again the next day because it was next to my hotel and this time got the Smothered Chicken sandwich and it was a Home Run! I would not recommend the $35 Crab Cake Platter that has a single 4-6oz crab cake, small salad, 1/4 cup of slaw and fries. Beer is COLD!
