When is a bar more than a bar? When it's three bars in one.
Located in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore, Md., Max's Taphouse has a long and storied history, having transformed itself from a somewhat seedy music venue to the multi-roomed, multi-tapped monster it is today. Owner Ron Furman has been intrigured by diverse beers for decades, and with 79 taps, Max's serves up more suds today than ever before.
"We've been at our current capacity draft-wise for, I would say, 15 years," says general manager Casey Hard. Most of those 79 drafts are available in the main room, but many of the lines splinter off to the watering hole's other two rooms as well. "We have 24 taps upstairs and 24 in the side bar," Hard notes, with the upstairs bar typically focusing on Belgians and the side bar more focused on darts games.
Has the incredible selection found an audience among Baltimore locals? Seems so: "There are people here every day from the moment we open until we close. We go through 100 kegs a week. I change between five and 20 kegs a day."
