Half Pints Sports Pub & Grill

Found this place listed on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbaltimoreeats.com&s=4454bbae442487f6de627ee2d60dd3d0c0a21919e759dfce9c4afe9dead9a483" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://baltimoreeats.com</a> as a good local sports bar. Walking in, it's pretty obvious that this is a bar for locals - its like everyone knows everyone else in here.  There are tons of TVs playing sports at all times, so that's awesome. The bar has a great selection of beers on tap, as well as a cooler full of craft beers. The place is clean and the service friendly, albeit a little slow.

When I looked online at the website for Half Pints, I got kinda excited, seeing that the proprietor is from Manchester, UK. Hoping for something different, we came in here hoping to find some good British pub grub (steak and kidney pie, curry, Ploughman's lunch, bangers and mash). While fish & chips did appear on the menu, everything else was just plain American pub grub. The food was just ok, nothing spectacular. In all my travels to England, I've never seen pizza on the menu at a pub. My entree came with a side of fries, so I asked for sweet potato fries rather than regular fries... twice.. before they actually arrived.

All in all, however... for a fun, budget-friendly date night out with sports, beer and food, we made out pretty well. We'll probably come back to watch sports and, hopefully, find a more inspired menu next time.

Beer was cold, decent variety but nothing special. Food came out quickly and was hot. Waitstaff was polite. Prices are average for the area.

Just a run of the mill sports pub...Nothing special sadly ... went there a couple years ago to hear a musician friend play on the outside patio area... on that visit a couple years ago the staff seemed energized and helpful. So last week I took my girlfriend and her son for an early evening meal.. The employee's seemed bored and indifferent... The wings were almost inedible... They had that "quickly defrosted under running water and thrown in a deep fryer" taste... with wilted and brown edge celery.. REALLY! SERIOULY?  So with so many choices available in this category of restaurant ... forget it half pints...  I won't be back... Too many places care enough to treat paying customers who are willing to lay down hard earned cash with a little more respect and work a little harder to do something a little special.. oh like maybe honoring the drink specials you have on your menu! a novel idea right? See ya!....
