Christopher PopovJuly 6, 2016This is truly the gem of silver spring. In a sea of easily forgotten bars this one stands out with its energetic bartenders and eclectic atmosphere. I recommend taking your brew outside.
Still one of the best bars in Silver Spring. Great bar food and beer & whiskey selection. Just be aware they are only willing to split a check with two cards.
Todd MillerMay 14, 2014If you like Bleu Cheese then be sure to stop in and get the Black and Bleu burger. It's loaded with Blue Cheese and has a wonderful flavor overall
Ben FortneyAugust 26, 2014Tough to find; Head down the dark stairs just around the corner from the Indian restaurant. Don't be scared, lots of beer and a legitimately dank dive await you.
My favorite bar. Service can be slow at times. Beer and whiskey selection is exceptional. Burgers are the best. Free live rockabilly on sat night - if JP is playing, you really ought to go.
Alexandra AntzoulatosOctober 3, 2014Monday night is half price burger night and it is ah-mazing.... Prob the best burger I've had in town!! And you get tots (yay!)
SophieFebruary 3, 2013The pattie melt is good stuff! Get it with the excellent house-made chips (so thin and delicious) and try the tasty Framboise float.
They make their own bleu cheese dressing and you can get it with everything. Like tater tots. Which you should do.
Best Bites BlogMarch 4, 2012Cheddar, pepperjack, and provolone unite in this subterranean saloon’s sandwich, creating loads of gooey goodness. Amp it up with crispy bacon or tomato slices.
Washington PostAugust 1, 2014At the top of any list of local neighborhood bars, Quarry House has great beer and bar food, served to a diverse clientele. Read more
Josh SilverstoneSeptember 11, 2010I love the wings, the beer selection, old bay tater tots, and deep friend oreos. Gets very crowded on a Friday and Saturday night so good luck trying to get a table with a large party.
Missy C.August 16, 2013Amazing beer list!! Gotta get grilled onions and provolone on your burger, and make sure to add jalapeños.
Trivia night on Sunday is awesome. Check out their Facebook page to know what the categories are beforehand.- The fried pickles and tots are great. They have a really good beer selection. Burgers are generally good too.
Stephen MillerMay 24, 2012Very good beer selection. Whiskey selection was also nice. People mind their own business as well. Needs air conditioning.
Robert GilbertMay 19, 2013Grab a table in the back for Saturdays live music. Great drinks! Service could be better though.
KαÖωWɑäηOctober 12, 20144 Alarm wings! Super dooper spicy from hell. It is going to burn your mouth!
Nick CollinsDecember 18, 2016Come here every time I'm in town and find the beer selection impressive and bartenders chill AF.
Benny KaufmanMay 11, 2013Benny K: They serve Dale's Pale Ale. Maryland doesn't seem as fascinated by my Oskar Blues Trivia as I had anticipated.
Ally JenkinsJune 4, 2013Tots and a great beer selection in a (very) unpretentious space = awesome times.
Billy FisherOctober 17, 2011The Bacon, Jalapeno, and Blue Cheese Crumble Burger... cooked exactly to medium rare temp... may possibly be the best burger I've ever had.
School Of Rock SilverSpringApril 21, 2013Great burgers and music! We had a blast playing here! Read more
A nice dive bar, Monday nights are half priced burger nights. Be nice and order a beer or three, they have a list longer than the New Testament.
Veggie burger with buffalo, blue cheese and jalapenos.... enough said oh and tots tots and more tots!!!
- Mary LiberatoreJune 1, 2010Go here for the best burgers in town, a solid beer selection, and a dirty south fav, fried pickles. Pickle backs are also a great idea. Read more
The food is great but the service is slow, forgets about orders easily, and is easily "swamped".
a very large selection of beers. try the veggie burger with bacon, cheddar and thousand island.
The wings rock. Pair it with the Dogzillla IPA. It won't disappoint.
Sir Singen SmytheAugust 11, 2011Tater tots good but for go the old bay. Weird taste. Great beer selection and sizeable liquor array.
5+ years later, pickle spears still good - and still too much batter. 😕
David MSeptember 3, 2011This place looks almost normal by foreign standards at least. Not too different from the sort of cellar pub you might find in the UK or Italy. What makes it weird is the yummy greasy foods.
Great vibes, good eats, and a whiskey list that you'll never complete.
Malcom Conroy-SmithJuly 17, 2014There are no tater tots in the world as good as the ones they have here.- Colin KingMarch 5, 2011Awesome just awesome. You name it they got it. Just don't ask for a bud lite!
Fri night, no bands so you can control the tunes via the jukebox, bring your singles!!!
VanessaMarch 12, 2010Go to Quarry House Tavern (if you can find it, there's no sign) Best basement dive with a cheap strawberry hefeweizen on tap.
Not to state the obvious but in case you don't know Monday is half-priced burger night
Brad E.September 5, 2010Very nice dive bar, great selection of some Belgian favorites and good smelling food!
Brad RippetoeMarch 16, 2013Last dive bar in Silver Spring...nothing better!!!! Tater Tots with Old Bay is the best
