Harford Artists Gallery

Reviewed By haap2019

Cannot believe the level of artistic excellence! Not only is the artwork incredible, the prices are ridiculously low for one-of-a-kind original art. Such an amazing variety of styles and actually got to meet some of the artists while we were there!

My husband and I held our 60 guest wedding ceremony here. The house and grounds are absolutely beatiful and everything we could've asked for. The old architecture is amazing, and the property is well kept. Leslie, the property manager is accommodating and an amazing help. The 2nd level art gallery is an interesting addition and a plus. We hope to visit again for some of the events that are hosted here.

Great craft beer, fantastic atmosphere and the food trucks are always good. Dog friendly outside, lots of room everywhere. Hands down the best place to open in Bel Air in the last 30 years.

Ma and Pa Trail

Reviewed By Pattyj919_- - Boynton Beach, United States

The Ma & Pa Trail is great! It is very well maintained and even has two clean bathrooms! One is at the fairgrounds and the other is at Annie's playground. Right now there is work being done on the section of the trail between the Winters Run bridge and Edgeley Park so that section of the trail is closed on weekdays and some Saturdays. Hope that will be finished soon!

MaGerk's BelAir

Reviewed By billm920 - Pasadena, United States

My wife and I decided to get away for the weekend. We were looking for a local bar in Bel Air when we found MaGerk's. They have a very large selection of beers on tap and in cans or bottles. We started off with fried pickles which were really good. My wife ordered a burger with blue cheese and bacon jam which she said was great. I ordered the PB&J burger which has a spicey peanut butter with bacon jam. It was extremely delicious and I am very glad I picked that fir dinner. The serve their burgers and sandwiches with chips, fries, or tater tots. We highly recommend trying this place if you are staying or driving by Bel Air, MD.

Looney's Pub

Reviewed By Wiseguys4jc - Baltimore, United States

Looneys, where have we been? Well, I believe that me, my family, and many of you out there may not realize that Looneys is not just a bar. It looks like it's just a small bar but It has a very nice dining room, and amazing food! Thanks to a desire to try something new and the suggestion of our daughter- in- law who also recently discovered this hidden gem, we ate at Looneys yesterday for fathers day. The menu has so many tasty dishes on it that it was hard to choose what to try first. I love corned beef and for a while oscillated between that and the seafood pasta which sounded wonderful and was suggested by someone else who has tried it. I chose the corned beef and was delighted. First of all, I hate to say this in fear it will change, but looneys is not afraid to feed you. The portions were great! and the prices equally pleasing. The food tasted so good that I ate everything on my plate and a little of hubby's corned beef as well ;0) Next time I will jump out there for the seafood pasta as there will be many next times I am sure. Also, the crab pretzel was excellent and huge so that 5 of us had plenty to try with one pretzel. Now, I won't bore you describing everything we ate (and boy did we eat)! Rather I will leave you with the challenge to ignore the "Pub" stereotype and go eat at looneys. You will get hooked, and we will be back for more and more PS. A shout out to Abby, a new waitress who took great care of us. Thank you :0)

Harford Mall

Harford Mall features stores such as Macy's and Sears as well as many specialty shops. While shopping, grab a bite to eat at one of the many causual restaurants such as Five Guys or Bonefish Grill.

Reviewed By williamwP2521YK

Harford Mall is nice, it would do better with a different choice of stores. My personal opinion is that the stores in the mall are not exactly an attraction. With Sears and Macy's as the book ends, this mall just doesn't seem very busy.
