About Looneys Pub Bel Air

Looneys Pub Bel Air is Harford County’s go-to Irish Sports Bar Bel Air, serving the community from its historic home at 312 S. Main Street since 2002. The building itself has deep roots — it once housed the Kenmore Inn, where President William Howard Taft famously stopped for a meal during his 1912 visit to downtown Bel Air. Today, Looneys Pub Bel Air carries that legacy forward as a lively gathering place for locals, sports fans, and anyone looking for a great meal and a cold pint.

Part of Maryland’s celebrated Looney’s Pub family — voted ‘Maryland’s Favorite Bar and Tavern’ — the Bel Air location blends Irish-American warmth with a genuine love of sports and community. Open seven days a week from 11 AM to 2 AM, it is a true downtown Bel Air fixture that welcomes everyone from lunch regulars to late-night revelers.

The pub has deep ties to Harford County, having received the Harford Award for community service and recognition as ‘Best Bar Food’ by Harford Magazine multiple years running. Whether it is a Tuesday trivia night or a packed St. Patrick’s Day celebration, Looneys Pub Bel Air delivers an experience that keeps guests coming back.

Food was great! Really awesome St Patrick's celebration spot. Plenty of music and drinks. Was extremely busy. Still was able to deliver a good service and fun. Also ordered "the bomb". It was indeed!

December 2025 It’s been a few years since I last visited, but I enjoyed myself this time as much as the last. It’s quite loud when games are on, but it’s expected being a sports bar. My smash burger on this visit was very good, although I found the roll to be a bit too dense and thick. The fries were good, as was the chicken fajitas. Service was very attentive and they have a decent beer selection. I’ll be back again when I’m the area.

Great food and live music on the weekends. Great place for a night out. I had the filet sandwich with crab imperial topping. One of the more expensive meals, but worth it!

Restaurant by day and club at night. Usually good bands. in the recent moths they changed up the menu offerings. for dinner, in my opinion one of the overlooked offerings they have is the half roasted chicken with a hackleback potato with asparagus! the chicken is always roasted to perfection and the asparagus is the most tender I've had. Another favorite it the teriyaki salmon with coconut rice and vegies. there are other items but these are my favorites.
