Broad Axe

Everything about this place has improved. Used to be THE SPOT in Hagerstown in the 70s, 80s and early 90s but fell on hard times over the years. So far, so good after the new owners took over. Good food, good service, great specials. What more could you ask for?

The overall inside feel of the bar is pretty much what I was expecting based on outer appearances, I could easily see this place getting overly crowded on weekend nights. The bar staff didn't make me feel too welcomed when I first came in here to order a drink which is why I'm deducting a star. Otherwise the crab balls were pretty legit although a bit pricey for 4 of 'em but I do recommend them as a small starter app. Overall the place seems to be a fairly decent bar full of Hagerstown locals which appeared to mostly be a noisy middle-aged type of audience, overall though I wouldn't mind stopping in here again sometime.

Great food & beer selection. Staff was excellent and the place has a good vibe.
