Bread & Circuses in Towson is a cozy, slightly bohemian bistro that punches above its weight in both atmosphere and menu creativity, especially for a college-adjacent spot. Housed in an old Towson home just off the main drag, it feels more like a neighborhood “find” than a generic bar, with warm, character-filled décor and a layout that works for everything from date night to small private events.

Overall, Bread & Circuses is best for people who want a character-filled local bistro with creative American dishes, strong cocktails, and staff who care, rather than a hyper-polished chain experience. Expect excellent Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, and cocktails, an especially good option for special dinners. - Info and Reservations
