One of the best “dive” bars in Baltimore. Lots of atmosphere, a great jukebox, and cheap drinks. Bring cash and have a great time.

It’s a GAY bar…but everyone was either eating or drinking, therefore I “assume”, that the food is good. The female couple next to me ordered salmon balls and she definitely didn’t “turn her nose up”, at the food. My drink was good. The staff was attentive…although it was a crowd, that particular night. The inventory is adequate; although the “top-shelf”, is actually “mid-shelf”…point in question: Elijah Craig here, is the 94 proof small batch and not the 121 proof single cask. All in all, I enjoyed myself, but, I have no plans to return SPECIFICALLY because it’s a GAY bar, (I accidentally walked into)…and not because of the atmosphere or service/quality.

Update- they now accept plastic. No dive anymore.
Update- I wrote the original review 6 yrs ago. Nothing other than the owners and employees has changed. Yes!
What makes a bar a “dive”? First it has to be around for a long long time. MRT yes. Second it can never have it’s own website. MRT yes. Third no credit debit cards ever. Cash only. MRT yes. Fourth is cheap and strong drinks available. MRT yes. Never ever been redecorated. It has to look the same as is did 20 30 40 years ago. MRT yes. Optionally shoud be dark inside. MRT yes.
Yes the MRT is a dive. May it never change.

I use to love this bar but unfortunately since they started accepting cards… One of the bartenders be stealing additional tips… The first time I let it slide because I thought it was a mistake… But it happened again… They add a 1 or 0 to the total after I paid to make their tip an additionally $10 more

It’s an interesting place with interesting artwork on the walls. It’s nothing fancy, it’s a pub. Sometimes, it smells funny ♀️The bartenders are awesome and the drinks are strong and inexpensive. That’s all that matters. I’ll be back again and again and again…

I really want to like The Tavern because it has potential — the vibe and location are great. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined by one of the bartenders, Thor. Not only was he incredibly rude and dismissive, but there were also some serious concerns with the drinks. I ordered Tito’s, but woke up the next day feeling like I drank something entirely different. That’s a huge red flag.
Worse, when I tried to get his attention to place an order, he was unresponsive and chaotic behind the bar. He even charged me for someone else’s drink — no explanation, no apology.
Until management addresses the attitude behind the bar and ensures quality in what’s being served, I won’t be returning — and I wouldn’t recommend it to others.

No food here, but you can bring your own. If you visit Baltimore this should be the place you stop!! Amazing food, music was great, and everything was cheap. Love, Love, Love this place.

Mount Royal Tavern is the epitome of a dive bar. 90% of its patrons are long-standing locals who have been coming there regularly for years to unwind their day with a drink or three. Always like a family environment. Always welcoming newcomers. The only food served is something very close to chips and pretzels but you’re free to bring your own or get something delivered. Drinks are cheap. I mean CHEAP, but not diluted, with very generous servings. When it’s warm, they often throw the grill on in the back and you never know if someone is serving fish that they just caught or just some hot dogs with a few others who’ve chipped in to do a potluck. This establishment has been around for decades. If you’ve ever seen Cheers, Mount Royal Tavern is definitely the Baltimore equivalent, but better.
