Quote: After taking a four-hour Chinatown bus ride down from New York and getting picked up in Baltimore, my brother and sister-in-law decided to bring us straight out for dinner. Our destination that evening was a place called the Rams Head Roadhouse (www.ramsheadtavern.com) in Annapolis near Baltimore.

Upon entering, we sat ourselves in the back dining room, away from the band that was setting up in the front, and ordered up some drinks. The first things we got were two samplers of beer (since this place, like a lot of places in Maryland, is a micro-brewery) and then decide what we wanted. After a taste of all six, we ended up getting a pitcher (which turned into three) of Helle's Lager; the Baltimore favorite.

The next order of business of course was now food, since this damn Maryland micro-brew beer is potent. And since we were in Maryland, I went with the crab cake sandwich, which was lump crab meat and Muenster cheese on an English muffin. Oh my God it was amazing. I love crab and this was out of this world.

Then, just as we were hitting the third pitcher and discarding our food, the band started to play an esoteric mix of songs from the '60s all the way until present day. And since the bar was relatively empty, the acoustics of it were great.

Now, I have neglected to mention the best aspect of what the Rams Head Roadhouse has to offer; the Growler. The Growler is a to go jug of beer that the bar will give you for a relatively decent price. And then you can bring beer home and enjoy the potency of the micro-brews of Maryland.

If you are in the Annapolis area, and are looking for a quick, good, cheap bit to eat, or just some strong drinks to stay or to go, the Rams Head Roadhouse is the stop for you.
