Judge’s Bench is a bar and grill that occupies the former Ellicott City courthouse, so it’s not just a clever name. The bar, which is now known for its craft beer offerings and classic American food items, is certainly a lot more fun than it used to be back in those days! It’s decorated in a beautifully rustic style, with ornate chandeliers, dim lighting, and a heavy wooden bar.
The menu includes snack plates and sandwiches that are more unique than your standard bar fare, and it even offers vegan options for guests who don’t eat meat. In addition to the craft beers and cheaper drink options, Judge’s Bench also carries an impressive selection of higher-end scotches and whiskeys. Even if you’re not much of a scotch drinker, the knowledgeable staff is always on hand to recommend a great new drink.
On the weekends Judge’s Bench hosts live music from a wide variety of different acts, and though the crowd can get a bit rowdy, it’s always comfortable and friendly.
