Always love coming here. The Cheers of St. Michaels. Comfortable pub where many people know each other. Friendly staff, good drinks and food for reasonable prices. Highly recommend the mimosas. Pool and darts upstairs if that’s your thing.

Very casual and comfortable with great service and a fun, quirky atmosphere. I highly recommend the Cuban sandwich and my wife loved her Ruben. It's a nice option for dinner if you want to go a bit less fancy than the other places on Talbot St. Sat at the window and watched St. Michaels go by.

A great local saloon! The food was delicious and very well priced! You have to order their cream of crab soup and crab cakes! Both were delicious. The atmosphere was that of a saloon, busy, loud and fun. The waiting staff was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back again. A great find that we happened to stumble upon as we were looking for a place to eat.

Sorry for busting out this amazing little locals pub.....BUT, it it the essence of what I absolutely love from a local bar. Live, local music, friendly staff, and most importantly, the best bar food in town! Great local haunt with a great vibe and tremendous bar bites. We ate there back to back days......or at least that's what I remember....amazing wings, burgers, and cheese steaks. Loved it.

Our go-to place in St Michaels for everything from breakfast to lunch or just a drink (or 2.) A good local hangout or just if you're visiting for the day. It can be a little loud at times, but it reflects the loose atmosphere.

What a great place! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was charming. Stopped here with my husband when we traveled to St. Michael's. The crab ball appetizer was light and flavorful. My husband had the California BLT and I had the house salad with shrimp. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend!

Came here for lunch and it took a long time to receive our food, but I won't fault the servers for that. The town was doing some chocolate festival and so the restaurant was very busy. The grilled chicken sandwich and the slaw I got was delicious though. I definitely recommend getting it. Only removing a star for the atmosphere because it was LOUD in there with all the people talking. Hopefully it isn't like that at other times of the year.
