Baile Bagels & Brews, a family-owned and veteran-owned business, aims to provide a unique experience by offering a combination of freshly baked bagels and handcrafted brews. The name “Baile,” derived from Gaelic, means “home,” a fitting description for the welcoming and warm atmosphere that patrons can expect.
The new business is strategically located along the Hagerstown Cultural Trail and includes two main attractions: Baile Bagels, a quick-service bagel shop, and Baile Cask & Kettle, an American-Irish pub and microbrewery. Baile Cask & Kettle offers house-brewed beer alongside Irish-inspired dishes, all served within the pub’s historic 100-year-old bar—a perfect spot for a casual meal or a relaxed evening with friends.

Baile Bagels specializes in serving authentic New York-style bagels, freshly baked in-house. Whether for breakfast or lunch, customers can enjoy a variety of bagel creations with the distinctive chewy texture and crust that New York bagels are known for.
The business is a true family venture. Christopher Keene, a U.S. military veteran, is the owner, while his brother, Kerry Keene, serves as the Brewmaster. Their mother, Chris Speake, takes on the role of General Manager, bringing with her years of experience in the Irish pub industry. Christopher first conceived the idea for Baile during his military service overseas, envisioning a place where community and hospitality come together.
