Baltimore's Battle of the Paddles: Max's v. Nacho Mama's

It’s more grueling than the Iron Man – longer than the Boston marathon – and crazier than the Polar Bear Swim. It’s five men and one woman, determined to kayak more than 166 miles in open water over five days, in a challenge to raise $100,000 dollars for Baltimore- based Believe In Tomorrow National Children’s Foundation

Nacho Mama’s and Mama’s on the Half Shell’s, Scunny McCusker and Ron Furman, owner of Max’s Taphouse, are kayaking over 166 miles, beginning September 21, from Quantico, VA to the race fin- ish on September 26, in Fells Point, MD in a bid that pits Canton, home of Mama’s on the Half Shell against Max’s Taphouse, a Fells Point landmark.

The two teams have set goals of raising at least $50,000 each for this charity. Take a look at how Max's Taphouse is faring against Nacho Mamas, keep up to date with the battle on Facebook, or even better help support your favorite team: (go ahead donate to either team, we really don't care, it's all for a good cause :)

TEAM MAX ‘S:  Ron Furman, Jason Mislan and Jessica Welsh.	TEAM MAMA’S: Scunny McCusker, Delaware Dave and Sean Leahy, vs.

Max's Taphouse Live-Monday Night

Monday, Dec 15, 2008 to Monday, Jan 26, 2009
6pm - 8pm every Monday

Tune into ESPN Radio 1300AM or Sports Radio 105.7FM every Monday night from 6pm to 8pm for Max's Taphouse Live-Monday Night.

Who Loves You, and Who Do You Love?

Max's has been rated the 14th best beer bar in the world on RateBeer.com's Best Beer Bars of 2009 survey!

Max's was selected from among thousands of bars for this distinction, which was based on selection, service, and value. As a gold-medal beer bar, one of only two top-rated bars in the mid-Atlantic, and the top-rated beer bar in the state of Maryland, we only have you to thank. The main reasons you picked Max's? Our beer selection and our great bartenders, of course! You can click here to see a copy of the certificate.

Max's Halloween Panoramas

These awesome Panoramas were taken last Halloween at Max's. Click on the pictures to go to the photographer's page, and see these and more pictures taken that night in a cool flash panorama viewer.

Specials!

A daily Happy Hour is all well and good (we got that, of course, and during daily Happy Hour all drinks are a $1 cheaper). But we're just a little bit extra special.

Monday Sucks Happy Hour

All Day, All Night happy hour prices every Monday. $1 off drafts from open to close. ($1 off drafts from Bud to Guiness, but not the really high-octane stuff, and not the Belgians.)

Tuesday Beer Social

Join Max's resident Beer Expert Casey Hard, upstairs at Max's in the Mobtown Lounge at 6pm on Tuesdays for the Beer Social. Sample rare and exotic beers at special prices and enjoy guest speakers. For updates about Beer Socials click here.

Wednesday Pinch-the-Pint Night

Buy a draft from 5pm to 8pm. We'll serve it in a nifty pint glass featuring the logo of an internationally famous brewer, and you get to keep the glass! Plus, refills in that glass are $1 off all night.

Thursday Quiz-A-Ma-Jig

Okay, smarty, here's your chance to show off your knowledge of useless information while drinking beer and shouting out loud (well, no shouting). Every Thursday upstairs at Max's in the Mobtown Lounge, it's the infamous Quiz-A-Ma-Jig. The game begins at 9pm sharp. (Drink the featured Draft and smoke the featured Cigar on Thursday nights, 5-8pm, for just $6, too. Score!)

Friday BIG ASS Draft Happy Hour

A 32oz draft is a BIG ASS Draft! Fridays 5 to 8pm your choice of 32oz Draft is just SIX BUCKS. (By "your choice" we mean pretty much every draft from Bud to Guinness, but not the really high-octane stuff, which you probably don't want 32oz of anyway, and the Belgians. BIG ASS Drafts are served in Big Ass Plastic Cups for your safety. Please drink responsibly.)

Awesome Beer, Great Food, Good Times!

Max's is legendary for having Maryland's largest selection of local and imported beer on draft, with 80 rotating drafts and two hand-pumped English beer engines. Max's also has a world-spanning collection of over 500 bottled beers in stock, served with style & knowledge by expert BEERtenders. Max's features a great menu of better-than-pub grub to accompany your beer, a super sound system, more than 17 TVs playing the latest sporting events, pool table, adjoining Dart House and a well-stocked humidor.
