Where is the Best Family-Friendly Dining in Baltimore, Maryland?
Visited Baltimore from Miami & went to Kooper’s Tavern on a rainy Saturday afternoon…wasn’t too crowded but there was a nice mix of locals & tourists drinking, grabbing a bite & watching college football. The bartender, Nicole, couldn’t have been nicer! Manager Jeff was also great, as was the whole staff! Had THE BEST bloody mary I’ve ever had, nice & spicy! Also Nicole suggested their Kooper’s Yellow Tail Ale which was a great light beer. I had the sliders, which were tasty but it’s only 3 of them & they were very small. All in all though I had a great time here & I’ll definitely be going back whenever I’m in the Fells Point area. Pros + Atmosphere, great service, best bloody mary

We both had crab cakes, which were the size of baseballs. There was minimal binding material, so it was almost all delicious, sweet and tender crab meat. My dining companion had hi
