Gman had a good point yesterday with his comment:
Lotta crying over bad service here. How about a review of the best "service" restaurants in the city? A Fab Five Friday is it?
So this week, I'll list the five bars/clubs with the best service in Baltimore.
If you've had some really good service at a bar or club lately, let me know.

The best bartender service I've had is Anne Marie at Brewers Hill Pub - she's quick, friendly, down to earth, and makes a point of remembering her customer's names and most importantly, what they drink!

Without a doubt, the best service is the Saturday day bartender at Magerks, Dave Manchester.

My favorite is the girl who runs the upstairs bar at JD's Smokehouse in Canton on Thurs, Fri and Sat. Check her out, she is very prompt and very nice!

I'd have to vote for the Waterfront. Super friendly bar staff.

I'll second Waterfront, service upstairs is always friendly.

Best service I have experienced is Crazy Lil's in Fed Hill, I think his name is Ryan, great bartender

I totally second Lil's. Ryan is awesome, but everyone there is great.

I haven't been there since about September, but the bartender Stacy at Mahaffey's is one of the top bartenders in the city when it comes to service!
