Bookmakers Cocktail Club

An upscale bar that you wouldn't expect to find in the Federal Hill neighborhood. It has a classy vibe with dark lighting and lots of velvet. Their beverage program is amazing. I love to go on Wednesday to try out new whiskeys. Don't expect to find your favorite drink year round as their menu changes with the season. My favorite thing to try is their seasonal mule concoction.

Sugarvale

Just north of the Washington Monument, this small basement bar is one of my favorite haunts. The beverage program is always changing but always on point. I've never had a bad drink there and the cocktail names like Shadynasty keep me entertained. Plus when it's time to sober up you can order a bao bun.

Rye

A classy bar that stands out among it's rowdy bar neighbors. If you like drinks that make you think, this is the place for you. The beverage program leans towards drinks with a licorice flavor so it's not for everyone.

The Elk Room

One of Baltimore's speakeasys that is impossible to keep a secret. Fairly new but already an award winning beverage program. It's also one of the few places in Baltimore where you can enjoy fondue!

W.C. HARLAN

A Baltimore speakeasy in the Remington neighborhood. You can drive past without even knowing it's there. Creative and classic cocktails reminiscent of the prohibition era grace their menu.

Great bar with one of the best views in the city! Not many places have piqued my interest with a pink peppercorn cocktail, that was actually delicious! The food here is great too, don't miss the Butter Cauliflower!
