Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Maryland

Very good, excellent service! We had a very good evening and was able to spend four hours at the table without any rush from the restaurant.

We had such a nice dinner here. I want to preface this by saying me and my date had worked in the service industry for years and were very impressed by the service. It all started at the front desk, we were greeted by the host and the manager sat us. She got us water and gave us some beer and cocktail recommendations (it’s always a good sign to see a manager who knows what their selling) I ordered the bourbon bruze and my date had the lemon basil martini, both amazing, not too sweet. Our server was also great, she was so friendly and very present but didn’t hover or make us feel rushed. The food was decent, nice portions and overall good flavor, but it’s definitely a place where you come back for the vibe. We’ve been traveling a lot recently and we’ve been to a lot of restaurants and it was refreshing to be in a place with friendly staff that are happy to be there.

Entertained clients in this great location with enjoyable food.

The Evening Star is a jewel of a neighborhood restaurant, with delicious offerings. You can choose to sit inside where it is lively and festive, sit outside on the Front Porch, which allows you to take in the vibe and thrum of Del Ray, or in the back where you can dine outside as if you were grilling at home. The menu changes seasonally and the bar is skillful and inventive with their offerings. Our server was excellent. He was knowledgeable, attentive without hovering and well-versed in the menu and wine and beer selections. We couldn't have asked for a more lovely evening out.

Love their food and beer. The potato pancakes are a great starter!
