This is a pretty good dive bar that a lot of Annapolis residents don't know about. Â They have a decent happy hour (2.50 for domestics) and surprisingly they actually make average bar food. Â The bar has a ton of regulars who are always welcoming and the bar staff is very friendly. Â The bartenders make very nice pours on their mixed drinks. Â Friday nights is crowded with karaoke and some Saturdays there is live music. Â They also have pool tables in the back and a pretty cool dart area (also one of the few in Annapolis).
Overall, it is a cool place to be if you don't feel like going downtown and are looking for a cool dive bar (especially since there are so few in Annapolis).
The other thing we like about it is that it is true to itself and doesn't try to change to impress any certain demographics.
I've lived in the Annapolis area for about 3 1/2 years, and never knew this place existed. Â It really is just a local dive....I found out about it thanks to an invite to a blues jam, and decided to head out on a Saturday night and check it out. Â Â it's nothing fancy at all, but the staff were friendly and the drinks were reasonable. Â I didn't get to try any of their food, but everyone I talked to swore that it was delicious. Â I had a great conversation with one of the regulars, who told me that Friday nights are a good night because they have karaoke (not sure if I consider that a good night or not!), and that they'll have a chili cook-off probably in Feb that I should check out. Â They have some really cute caricature pictures of their regulars on the wall, and you get the feeling that it's a blue-collar version of Cheers, where everyone knows your name. Â
They have a small dance floor, but the crowd that was there was making the most of it. Â The acoustics were actually pretty good, and they have a smoking deck outside where you can go to cool off if things get too hot inside. Â Throw in the pool tables in the back room, and I can see the attraction of this place.
Pass. It's been okay in the past as a local hang-out. I stopped in yesterday for lunch. Two "managers" stopped by to say someone would be with me shortly. After 15 minutes I gave up and went to Davis' Pub. Very disappointed. I was looking forward to the cheesesteak. Ah well. Off the list.
Review Source:Went on a Friday night and it was insane. So loud and crowded and the kitchen closed just as we tried to order something. We were able to get some chips though. Our bill was ridiculously low. It was okay. I don't think I'll go back but that's more because I live about 40 minutes away than anything else.
Review Source:Ask yourself what makes a local bar worth driving to, and in the end it's the friendly people, a fun atmosphere, reasonable prices on food and drink, and great music ! The Ebb Tide provides all of this to its customers and seem to enjoy themselves as they do it. I would agree with once the bars went smoke-free, this place jumped up a full star. There really is no reason why you shouldn't come out any Saturday night and see solid live music, tip back a few cold ones and enjoy yourself on a weekend ! Highly recommended !
Review Source:A locals' bar. Â Walking/stumbling distance to my friend's house. Â Spent a rowdy night here. Â They had a great local band playing quality covers of all your 80's hit. Â Had enough space in front of the band to do some dumb, drunk dancing, and what looked to be a good, regular crowd on a Saturday night, complete with a couple trophy wives, a few cougars, a smattering of college punks, and the very friendly blue-collar guys buying rounds and gettin' their game on. Â For a raucous night of shots and pitchers, the Ebb Tide is a great choice. Â It kicks the crap out of those expensive, yuppie joints in old town Annapolis.
Minus one star for the smoke. Â I know, I know, it's a bar, but I hate having to leave my clothes outside when I get home because I can't stand the stench.
