18 Best Wine Bars in Baltimore

“I really enjoy the aesthetic of this place. I always get an old speckled hen to drink and the typhoon fries with pork belly. The rice cakes are amazing too. This place gets better and better every time I go, and it helps asking the staff to guide you through the menu. Would recommend going on a less busy night, so you can pick where you want to sit.“

“What a fantastic meal my husband and our son had. Son has been to many restaurants around the world and we all thoroughly enjoyed this one. We tried many different dishes and split them . These included the sour dough bread , liver pate, Sussex smokie, mackerel and of course had a delicious dessert after. The service and the food were fantastic.“

“Food was great , service was great. No complaints.“

“Oh boy, let me tell you about the pre-game magic we experienced at Johnny's! With a high school state championship soccer game at Loyola on our agenda, my friend, her daughter, and I were on the hunt for the perfect spot to fuel up before the excitement. And boy, did we hit the jackpot with Johnny's! Walking into Johnny's was like finding a hidden gem in a treasure map. The cozy vibes wrapped around us like a warm blanket on a chilly Sunday—it was just what we needed! We settled ourselves at the bar, eager for some drinks and snacks, and that’s where the real fun began. Our bartender was nothing short of a beverage maestro! I ordered a cortado that was so perfectly crafted I nearly swooned. Seriously, it should have been on the cover of a coffee magazine! And let me tell you about their wine list—it’s like a unique art piece. I picked a Pinot Noir to accompany my house-made Old Bay chips, and it was such a delightful pairing that I felt like a sophisticated sommelier for a moment. Now, my bourbon-loving friend was over the moon to discover that Johnny's stocked his all-time favorite brand, FEW. After indulging in wine and coffee that could make any day brighter, we just had to cap off our relaxed Sunday with a round of bourbon. Because what’s a pre-game without a little celebratory sip, right? My friend and her daughter were enjoying their vanilla latte and mocha to the fullest—let’s just say the smiles on their faces were positively radiant! And the cookies? Oh my goodness! The gingerbread and peanut butter cookies were instant crowd-pleasers. I’m pretty sure I’d fight a bear for another bite! Now, here’s the kicker: my friend might live in sunny Florida, but I’m ready to brave the Washington Beltway traffic any time just to return to Johnny's. If they nail snacks and drinks this well before a soccer game, I can't even imagine what kind of culinary genius they have up their sleeves! So, Johnny's, you’ve stolen my heart (and my taste buds)—I’m already counting down the days until my next visit!“

“The cocktails are amazing and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it.“

“Great beers and wines. Lovely beer garden rated one of Esquire’s best in the US.“

“Pros: great happy hour deals $2 crab special Very big blue crabs Spice and seasoning is amazing Food was delicious Food comes out quickly. Decor is nice. Drinks are strong! Cons: Our server was brand new and didn't know the menu or policies well so that impacted our ability to order things (but once we figured things out, the food was fantastic) and her serving skills were mediocre at best. She kept asking if we wanted more to order despite seeing we hadn't finished our course (we ordered a lot of crabs). Then when we needed her she was nowhere to be found. She brought our check before we were close to done. Felt rushed even though she said no rush she came back 3 times to check if we put our cards down.“

“Great atmosphere and the staff in very friendly!“

“Where do I start? Ok, the coveted 6th * for a gluten sensitive menu, because you never know. Three different steaks and one salmon, all cooked to perfection, truffle fries, amazing mashed potatoes, and the most incredible grilled mushrooms on the side - and one fantastic glass of Pinot Noir.

Pail treated four weary travelers with kindness and cheer, the Manager Iggy checked on us, and our water glasses never were allowed to remain empty for more than a moment. What was already a special meal turned into something transcendent thanks to how kindly we were treated.“

“My home away from home! Hope to return soon but in the meantime, I will order.“

“Food was delicious! I would have taken a picture but I ate it too fast. The flavors were all so bold and fresh. Will definitely be back!“

“I've been eating steaks for decades. It took 40 years to find the best steak in....well...actually the world (because I've had steaks from Taiwan to Bogota) right here at Tagliata. It was the best.“

“Absolute gem of a place! We stopped in for lunch after a hot hike from top golf and it felt absolutely amazing in here. It was a well decorated modern industrial vibe that smelt brand new! The bartender who was also the waitress was amazing! The beer and drinks were ice cold and our chicken strips and fries were fresh and delicious! Glad we found this place on a whim.“
