Rams Head Tavern

Rams Head Tavern

Located at 33 West Street in historic downtown Annapolis, Maryland, Rams Head Tavern is a family-owned pub and restaurant known for its American-style cuisine, beer selection, and live music. The establishment is part of the Rams Head group, a family-owned company that operates several restaurants and performance venues in Maryland.

The site has a long history tied to hospitality and food service. In 1703, English brewer Benjamin Fordham received a royal license to establish a brewery in Annapolis. Later, in 1792, William Faris opened a business on the same site that became a tavern and boarding house known as Sign of the Green Tree. Over the centuries the building hosted various commercial activities before being acquired by the Muehlhauser family in 1989. The small original pub was gradually transformed into a full-service restaurant.

The menu features contemporary pub fare including burgers, sandwiches, chicken wings, pastas, salads, and a variety of entrees. Chesapeake Bay–inspired specialties also play a prominent role, notably crab cakes, crab dishes, and seafood entrees. Brunch is served on weekends, and seasonal menus and promotions round out the offerings.

The bar is renowned for its wide selection of beers, including local craft brews and international brands. The restaurant has multiple dining rooms, an indoor pub with historic decor, and a brick terrace draped in wisteria. Local musicians perform regularly on site, while the adjacent performance venue, Rams Head On Stage, hosts touring artists and concerts throughout the year.

Rams Head Tavern is located in Annapolis’s arts and entertainment district, within walking distance of the historic downtown and waterfront. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner every day, with Sunday brunch service. Its extended evening hours also make it a popular spot before and after shows.
