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.

Sean Bolan's Irish Pub

Reviewed By JerseyMimi - Bel Air, United States

Had cup of Red pepper, crab & gouda soup! A Sean Bolan's original! A blend of fire-roasted red peppers, smoked gouda and lump crabmeat, finished with a touch of honey. This was delicious. Also Irish coffee for me and a local brew for hubby. A ‘local area’ clientele environment. Must wear masks in, no standing at bars and tables are set for social distancing. ‘Celtic’ music playing in background and sports games on TV screens. Oh and tables & spaces at bars are sanitized after patrons leave. Doing a brisk business inspire of 2020 circumstances!

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.

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.
