Description

"When we took over it was a nice I guess disco. It was just a poor excuse for a disco I guess but that's what it was. But I was always into music. I loved music and that's what I wanted to do. So I started booking bands and you know, we went from local bands to regional bands to everybody. From Smashing Pumpkins to David Cassidy," said Ron Furman, owner and founder of Max's Tap House. Ron and his family are originally from Baltimore  and at the age of twelve got into the Max's business. From taking artifacts from historic buildings and repurposing them for his facility, Max's Tap House has a unique character and a top place to have a good time in the heart of Baltimore."If we can find use from something we used it.  If you look at the first floor in the back that's all bowling alley that came out of the Old Southway Bowling Alley in Federal Hill. The second floor, the floor, and the walls all came out of the Secrets Distillery, the warehouse that was over in Dundalk before they tore it down. What was really neat when we cut the wood, you could actually smell the whiskey in it. It had a great aroma," said Ron.Today Max's is the largest tap house in Baltimore as it holds over 68 taps and they even built the largest bar, over 55 feet.Tune in to learn more about Ron's journey building Max's. You can learn more about Max's Tap House by heading over to their website and visiting their Facebook and Instagram.Also, tune in to the end to listen to Freddie Long, the featured musician of the episode. His single Blanket is one you don't want to miss.
