The Nickel Taphouse in Baltimore's Mount Washington neighborhood was among the latest added to our city's food scene by local restaurateur, Robin Haas. Haas, owner of Hampden's Birroteca, wanted to deliver a more informal dining experience with the opening of Nickel Taphouse. Located at 1604 Kelly Avenue in Baltimore, The Nickel Taphouse is a 4,000 square foot restaurant/tavern fashioned after the places Haas remembered from his youth in Buffalo: a restaurant meets local tavern hybrid. He wanted Baltimore locals to have an establishment that invited them to stop by and hang out on their way home from work.
The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed; one designed to be familiar and friendly for its customers. However, the menu and drinks are served with satisfying style and formality. The dark wood and gleaming bar lend a cozy tavern feel – almost a "Cheers-like" atmosphere. The dining room with fresh white tablecloths and vintage-style light fixtures are a marked contrast. Locals love visiting their favorite servers who are happy to give meal recommendations or suggest drink pairings.
No matter what your taste, the Nickel Taphouse has a drink for you. Signature cocktails include the Yella Belly with a pepper-clove syrup and pineapple and the Hamsterdam Revisited with house-infused peppercorn vodka, strawberry, and rhubarb. Spanish and French champagnes are available by the bottle for special occasions and red and white wines from around the world can accompany any plate.
The beer presentation will keep the enthusiast busy for months. The Taphouse offers over 32 draft beers with an emphasis on local craft beesr. Several craft draft beers are available including many dark brews and light ales. Several seasonal brews rotate throughout the year and hard ciders make a great alternative to regular beer.
Impeccably fresh seafood is a Baltimore staple, and the Nickel Taphouse delivers. The Raw Bar features oysters, tuna, and salmon tartar or choose from classic dishes such as mussels in a white wine sauce, Mussels Provencale, or get adventurous and try the Jungle Thai Curry roasted oysters in a curry cilantro sauce. Other menu options include:
Daily dinner specials also rotate throughout the week with Meatless Monday being a favorite choice along with Whole Fish Friday and Hell Hound Fried Chicken on Wednesday being close runners-up.
