Pour House Pub

Good atmosphere, good selection of craft beer, menu overall good, but the colossal crab cake is NOT, I repeat, NOT 100% crab, I found hunks of flakey fish, like haddock or sole? Very good flavor, but not lump crab as described on menu. I guess at $ 14, the owner feels fish filler is acceptable? Tsk, tsk. I would go again but not for the not so colossal crab cake. Oh and if you don’t smoke, don’t sit outside, the smokers hang out at the door, ugh.

Great food! I went with a friend on Trivia night, and there was a decent size crowd, but not too crowded. The food was awesome. I got the crab pizza, and my friend ordered a grilled tuna salad. Both of our meals were great! It was my first time going there and I would definitely go again! Ask for Morgan as your server, she was awesome!

My hubby and I went here for breakfast. He had the steak and eggs. I tried his steak, it was cooked to order and tender. I might get that next time. I had the eggs/​cheese casserole it was really good but a lot of bread, very filling. The place isn’t crowded at all in the morning, so it doesn’t take long at all. The prices are great along with the service. Very cozy atmosphere

I have been to the Pour House Pub on several different occasions. I have been for brunch, lunch, dinner and just to grab a few drinks. I used to live right down the street from it so in the summer the husband and I would walk there. Their Watermelon Crushes are AMAZING! I highly recommend checking this pub out, especially in the summer!

Good food good service. Great experience. We had crab cake which was lump crab — very good. And cobb salad with was also tasty with very good french-​fries. There was a special on beer ($ 2.50 a bottle) that made the bill very reasonable!

I live at Castle Harbor Marina, over the past 42 yrs I have seen that pub change hands over 25 times, mostly because the food was not up to par and the service stunk. However all that changed once the «POUR HOUSE PUB» showed up. The food is great and i know great, the service is good but the people working there have great personalities and always make you feel welcomed. Please don’t ever leave. mm

I have been to the Poor House more than a few times, and each time it is better than the last! The food is delicious!!! I highly recommend the pot roast sandwich! It is a true winner, and so are the burgers!!! I have not been disappointed.
The only thing I would ask is if they would put Eastern Shore Brewing beer on tap! Duck Duck Goose would be awesome with the pot roast sandwich!

We took the in-​laws here. Service was a tad slow but the food made up for the wait. My in-​laws loved their MD crab soup. Tons of crabmeat and very fresh tasting they said. The crab cake sandwich was huge and excellent per my father in law. The fresh cut fries were perfect. Everyone enjoyed their meal which included oysters, wings and the nuts and berries salad with grilled chicken.
A couple of tips though — put salt and pepper and sweetener on the table so patrons don’t have to ask for it. Also, when serving an appetizer provide small plates. And when you make iced tea make sure the glass is full of ice because otherwise the ice melts right away. Tweak a few things and this place will be perfect. Good job over all though. We will be back!

Long time Unilocal reader, first time writer! Pour House motivated me to pour my heart out in praises for their food, drink, and service! First off, my friend is going through a breakup and I wanted to cheer her up, so wanted to take her somewhere new for both of us… and she wanted to take her adorable dog with her, so when I heard Pour House had a dog-​friendly outdoor patio, we decided to give it a try.
First off the beer selection was great… a nice balance of all different styles of craft beer, including the Golden Monkey Belgian Tripel (which clocks in at an amazingly deceiving 9.5%) for only $ 5! I also had the Sweet Water 420 which I love… There were solid lighter beers as well, such as the Fin City Wheat and a Grapefruit Ale… both of those seemed to really improve the spirits of my friend in mourning. (Speaking of grapefruit, if you haven’t seen the Aziz Ansari bit about 50 Cent & grapefruits, then you should check it out —
)
As far as food, everything on the menu looked amazing, but we decided to go with the specials for the day, and what a great choice that turned out to be! I had a chicken spinach pizza with honey sriracha sauce… and it was so tasty that I’m tempted to trek back there tonight to try it again! The doggie enjoyed the nibbles of the crust that I gave her as well :) My friend had a crab & avocado salad sandwich w/​fries and we also split some mashed potatoes — all of these items were amazing.
As for the service, it was top notch. Our server was very attentive and quite friendly… she took the time to get to know us… and our little dog too! Ahahahaha! Sorry, I had to do that. Anyway, our server was on top of every request we had. I believe her name was Eve? or something like that… I know the name had an E and a V in it… Evette? Eva? Evelyn? Evita? Evervescence? Oh well, guess I’ll just have to go back!
My only complaint was that the urinals in the bathroom were very tall… I’m about 5’9, and without getting into all the details of my dad bod, I’ll just say that I almost had to get on my tippy toes! Sorry this whole paragraph is prob tmi.
To summarize, I was pleasantly surprised with this establishment, from the succulent suds to the savory snacks to the sensational service, we were sent home simply satiated! Okay, I’m sorry I love alliteration too much…

Food is good. The Maryland Crab soup is a must. Service is lacking, took an hour to get our food last time I was in there and there might have been 20 other people in the place.

Bottom Line: long wait for food after order. Average food and prices for bar food. Bar atmosphere. Not kid friendly.
Been here twice with our family. Food isn’t exciting and tastes average for bar food. Restaurant area is connected to the bar area, so unfiltered mouths are common and the bar noise can get excessive. With maybe 3 tables occupied in the restaurant area, our food took way too long to prepare and serve. And to top it off, the outdoor smoking area is the entrance, so you’ll need to pass through the smokers to get inside.

Crab cake and chicken sandwich were delicious. We both cut ours in half to share. French fry snob and we loved them. Great service. Waitress was very responsive. Small but good beer selection. Little hidden gem.

First time at this hidden gem. Amazing menu and craft beer on tap. Highly recommended!

My friend wanted to show off his new condo on Kent Island to me, then took me to the little pub right beside his new place, knowing I’m a huge craft beer fan. What an awesome surprise to find my most fave on tap, Victory Golden Monkey… Service was a bit slow but the staff was very friendly and the food better than average if not better! The Ahi Tuna was the best I’d ever had. Wasabi sauce, the worst… not a bit of kick! (easy remedy)…
I had the steak sandwich, very tender, cooked just right… still a bit pink even though thin. Tomatoes tasted farm fresh with flavor… sliced mushrooms, large… with a side of fresh cut fries… A very pleasant evening with a great crowd cheering on the Orioles.

Very good food and reasonable prices Our server, Summer, was great. Specials were $ 18 and well worth every penny. My filet special was cooked just as I requested and the sides were very impressive. Maryland style crab soup had a twist to it. Traditional enough, but with a hint of difference. The stock was better than most MD crab soup I’ve ever had. My wife had the pot roast sandwich (on the menu daily). It was excellent as well.

Went on a Sunday eve for dinner and was not impressed. The wait staff nice but untrained and the food mediocre. Waiter didn’t understand the drink menu — Ale vs Pilsner, etc. Split wings as an appetizer and they were very small and not much too them (at $ 1 a wing it was hardly worth it). The sandwiches were a little better, cheese steak decent and chicken sandwich just ok. The fries were very good.
So I would go back for beer and fries.

This was my second time here. Last time we had the brunch menu and it was delicious. This visit we brought some friends with us and told them how great it was. I thought i would try something new so i had the california burger (medium), my friends got each a salad and my husband got something off the brunch menu. We also got crab soup and two kinds of wings. Our drinks came out and not too long our apps came out. Then came the wait. 20 minutes went and then finally our entrees came. Nuts and berries with salmon salad came out and the spinach looked really old. The salmon was over cooked and dry. The other salad was a ceasar which was okay. My burger came out and the greens on it was old too. It was cooked well done instead of medium. My husband’s food was pretty decent. Im sad to say i didnt finish my food and the nuts and berries salad was barely touched. The best part about our lunch was our bloody mary’s. I think next time i will stick with apps, drinks and the brunch menu.

We visited again, sans 18 month old. Amazing pizza! I had the Buffalo pizza and dB had the mushroom. So tasty! Definitely worth a try!

I love the Pour House Pub! I have enjoyed every meal I have had there. I especially like the Sweet Siracha calamari! And the breakfast pizza at brunch was very good. Good atmosphere, good service, good price!

The food is very bland and the service is absolutely nothing to praise. I had several different food items, an appetizer, meal and dessert and was not satisfied with any of it. The food is not quality by any means and the prices are not worth it by a long stretch. Again I want to stress… the service is bad. It took forever to get drinks and refills (actually didn’t get a refill I needed). And the waitress seemed annoyed to have customers. It was very slow, just a couple tables taken and NO reason to have the level of service we did.
This place is not worth the price you pay at all.
