Editorial Review for Mount Royal Tavern – by Mark W. Sullivan

The Scene
With the long wooden bar running along a dimly lit room, Mount Royal Tavern is almost your basic watering hole. This neighborhood bar is home to an eclectic crowd, where blue-collar workers, bikers and art students mix with the occasional overly friendly drunk. Art by some of the patrons appears on the walls and ceiling.

The Booze
The impaled blender over the bar gives fair warning: This is strictly a shots and suds kind of place. With that disclaimer, Mount Royal's got a great selection of 10 beers on tap, including Pabst, Guinness, Bass and Yeungling. Still more brands are available in bottles or cans. Whether you're buying by the pint or by the pitcher, it's unbelievably cheap.

While You're There
Have a moment between rounds? There's a pinball machine in back.

Insider Tips

It's in the Mix

Choices on the jukebox are as mixed as the tavern's clientele, featuring hits by Frank Sinatra, Motorhead, Elvis Costello, Clifton Chenier and the Rolling Stones.

Friendly Warning

The men's room is rough even by bar standards, without so much as a partition between those standing and those brave (or desperate) enough to sit.

User Reviews for Mount Royal Tavern

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I think this crowd is a great example of the irony in Iraq. For all of the people sacrificing their lives, just remember that there happen to be people like 'Doug' still on this Earth. He sits at this tavern and drinks whiskey and believes he owns the world. "Doug, you slave to pop culture, this buds for you and your ugly mother."

Pros: In the mens restroom

Cons: In the ladies restroom

3 Star Rating: Average

I love this place. It might be a bit of a dive bar but it has to be the best damn dive bar in baltimore. The support of artists and the art that hang on the walls, the diverse customers that frequent the place daily give this bar a sense of welcoming for all walks of the town. And the drinks are cheap.
