This was the second stop on our bus tour after S&J Crabranch. They aren't getting 5 stars because they were out of the calamari and I'm pretty sure we never got the cheese platter we ordered.
However, the pulled pork was amazing! The sauce had a good spice to it and sweet as well. Just the right balance. The fries were also really good. As much as I love anything carb, I don't usually comment on fries because well, fried potatoes are fried potatoes but they were really good.
If I lived in Towson, I'd probably go back.
I would come back if I lived in the area!
We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious! Â The bbq sauce looks kind of creamy but it's honestly really good tasting. Â The coleslaw that came with it was very vinegary. Â
The waitress we had, was also named Heather, was smoking hot and wore a half skin tight black t-shirt with no real back to it... yea... I'll be back!
Other reviewers agree that this is a great place to go and hang out with your friends. Â Homey, good places to sit, good collection of beers and I'm really excited by the savory pies they have there. Â We had the fish and chips and it was not regular old fish, but a nice cut and the fries were tasty.
Once I try the pies, and if they are good, I'm totally upping this to a 4 star.
A little bit of everything...
Nice quaint college pub with a small but decent pub fare. Â The crowd definitely transforms as the night rolls on. Â Expect a nice variety of professionals and a few college kids before 10 and no holds barred after that.
Service was great and attentive. Â Check them out
By the time we made it here, my friends who frequent this place were PLASTERED. Not one of them remembered a thing they said that night. I have a curse, no matter what, even if I blackout, I remember everything lol
This is an Ok spot. Service sucks, bathroom needs extra cleaning and there is something missing. I am not being harsh, it just seems any reviewer despite having a good time here gives it 3 stars.
I strongly think the Kent Lounge need a makeover, better music, attentive bartenders and a more welcoming atmosphere.
Ooooh, the good old Kent. This was the very first bar my friends and I began frequenting when we were of legal drinking age (...ha) so it's no doubt I have very fond memories of the place. It is totally one of those "everybody knows your name bars," or it used to be for me. Recently, when I went in there everyone looked to me like they were 12 years old, though, and I realized I must've outgrown the Kent. I have great memories of the place and I'd still go there for a couple drinks and some good bar food. It's not really a dive bar, but it's certainly the diviest of the Towson bars right around that area which is why it was always our favorite. Not much has changed at the good old Kent and I hope it never does!
Review Source:In the high-school time machine that is the Towson bar scene, the Kent offers somewhat of a reprieve from the HSers-cum-townies and the voyeuristic Towson expats who like to check in once or twice a year. Â It seems to self-select for more chill, laid-back people, i.e. the Kent never struck me as a singles' bar like say, the Green Turtle or CVP. Â
However, as a general rule all desire to frequent such an establishment should fade by the time you reach 23. Â Then you'll find yourself gravitating towards Federal Hill or Mt. Vernon or Charles North, depending on your worldview.
In response to the one and only review, the Kent was and probably still is a hot spot for under agers. I always always got in with my fake and then when I was legal, half the people always looked like they were in HS. The bar was ehhh. Whenever they had beers on special, they always ran out before we even got there. I mean, who gets to the bar before 11?
Anyway, it was a decent bar to go to if we just wanted to sit in a booth and chat. The music was always hit or miss, occasionally there was a DJ depending on the night. The only thing I ever really liked about the Kent was their LITs. They were nice and strong yet I never could taste the alcohol. Perfection in a cup.
For all the flack The Kent receives for being a hotspot for the area's underage drinkers, the place is not all bad. People can sit at the bar, stand, or sit at tables with their cheap beers and mixed drinks. They have an alright beer selection by college/dive bar standards and aim to please you drinking needs.
