Brewers Landing
About This Spot
Brewers Landing welcomes you with the gentle rhythm of waterfront life in Essex, where the steady breeze and soft lapping of water set an unhurried tone. This is a place where the pace slows just enough to let conversations linger a little longer and the simple joy of a well-poured drink match the shifting light as the sun dips low. Whether you settle in by the water’s edge or inside near the bustle of the bar, there’s a relaxed, approachable energy here — familiar enough to feel like a local haunt, yet open to anyone eager to soak in the scene.
The atmosphere blends casual comfort with a touch of liveliness: friends gather around well-worn tables, sharing small bites and freshly stirred cocktails, while the occasional live music adds a warm soundtrack to the evening. The menu dances between classic bar favorites and true Maryland flavors, where seafood shines alongside satisfying plates meant to be enjoyed slowly, paired with a cold beer or a zesty lemonade.
Sunset here deserves its own mention. As the sky paints itself in soft hues, the view becomes part of the meal – a quietly impressive backdrop to everything from crab dips to spicy string beans. The crowd—whether locals who know the best times to catch steamed crabs or visitors discovering the spot for the first time—feels a shared appreciation for something a little more grounded: good food, steady service, and the uncomplicated pleasure of being by the water.
Brewers Landing invites you to linger, to let the shifting tides guide your evenings, and to find comfort in the kind of neighborhood bar and grill where sense of place is as much a part of the experience as the food and drink on the table.

Well, well , the view is just AMAZING. Check out my photos for that. It’s quite a happening place. I really loved the seafood items over there. If you are looking for a place this summer then this is one good choice. If you go there around the sunset then you can enjoy the beautiful sunset view while enjoying with your family and your friends.. There is also a live music but i am not sure when it is.. For us we went on a Friday evening but left there around 8 but there was no music till then .. So, may be its during special occasion. The service was great. Recommended for summer.

This was my first time here. Very nice atmosphere near the water. The crabs were excellent and the drinks were very good. The chicken tenders were good the mozzarella sticks were just okay.

Waterfront restaurant with seating indoors and outside near the water in Essex, MD. A restaurant that sits near the water. Frequented by locals and visitors alike. This was our first time visiting for lunch. Very few people, a few inside. We choose benches by the water. An appetizer of spicy fried green beans and sweet tea. Our waitress Jessica was very attentive as she was manning the bar and customers inside as well the customers outside. The green beans were crispy and with a little kick served with a spicy side sauce. Would recommend. Price 9.00 The main entrees, We had the soft crab sandwich on wheat with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise with spicy fries substitution for the honey bbq chips for additional 3.00. Total price 19.00. The other entree was the teriyaki salmon over rice with broccoli. Cost 17.00. Prices are very reasonable. There are daily specials. The sweet tea was a ok , nothing to brag about. The portions were large. The soft crab was very tasty. Large size. Highly recommend Will return to this location

First time visiting and it definitely won't be our last. If you're looking a for a casual restaurant on the water with seafood, this is it! They were out of steamed crabs during our visit, but the soft-shell crab sandwich more than made up for it. Overall - views, service, and food were all great.

Crabs were great, and a fantastic location, right on the dock. We came the night of a Ravens game, so it was pretty fired up for a Monday. Our waitress was super lovely. Very local spot — tourists should note.

Had an amazing time at Brewers! I haven’t been here in years and let me tell you the time I had phenomenal. When I walked in the live music from the band was great!! Everyone was dancing, our server Jessica did above and beyond !! She allowed us to still order crabs 20 mins after they stopped steaming crabs , all of our food was perfect and she was very attentive. THE BEST SERVICE I’ve had in years. I’m happy to return to Brewers after years of neglecting this place. If you go there ask for Jessica I promise you won’t regret it!!!
