Local Motive is a must-visit—everything from the food to the cocktails is incredible! The flavors are bold, the presentation is spot-on, and the vibe is just right for a night out. Can’t wait to go back!

Quite crowded when I've been here and with good reason. Excellent tap list, music not too loud, chill environment. Kudos the the management and staff.

This was our first time in sykesville which in and of itself was definitely worth the trip but this bar has a certain charm about it. They definitely pride themselves on their local beer and especially their cocktails. Which were awesome. While we didn't eat there, the limited sandwich options they offered smelled amazing. Historic skykesville was also a treat to explore.

Everything here is top-notch! Amazing drinks, consistently great food (loved every meal!), welcoming staff, and a fantastic atmosphere. It's always a guaranteed great time for us.

Nice small town tavern. Skilled mixologists with good listening skills. The best grilled cheese ever.

Had a great time this afternoon at the Local Motive. Had a fabulous lunch, grilled cheese with bacon, comfort food for the day! Fabulous craft beers and cocktails!

Wonderful cocktails, delicious sandwiches, great atmosphere with various flexible seating options. Right in the heart of downtown Sykesville, so there's lots to do before and after your meal. My only qualm is that there are no servers—you order everything from the bar, which can mean sometimes waiting in line to order at busier times.

Love this place! Friendly, great food, and great music! The people that own this place, and those that work here, bust their butts to bring you a great local place to eat, drink, and hang out!
