10 Best Cocktail Bars in Frederick

“This is such a great find; seasonal food (best quiche ever) and lovely cocktails. Plus really good staff who seemed to care that their guests were happy. It has a lovely patio overlooking the water and lots of tree shade, plus it is super dog friendly. It was just a delightful place that felt a bit European and v good value too…definitely recommend.Kid-friendliness: Staff we super attentive to a family with young kids, was cute to see.“

“First time here and it won't be my last, especially since there's a parking garage nearby.The food is excellent and large portions. We very much enjoyed the empanadas and the chicken and waffles (the butter for them were to die for).Our server, Manda, was one of the best that I've had, always making sure dishes were cleared and drinks were filled.“

“We have used Tenth Ward multiple times for our team meetings and holiday parties, and I have attended many more events and meetings at their beautiful space.The historic wedding venue is woman-owned and features wall-to-wall exposed brick, large industrial windows, and beautiful original hardwood floors. It is on the second floor and requires stairs to access but it is worth the short climb.The staff is very responsive and easy to work with.In addition to business meetings I know they host weddings. I am sure it would be a wonderful venue for this as well!“

“It was a rainy evening, so maybe the ambiance would be better on another evening. Either way, the Catfish special was spectacular. So delicate inside and just the right amount of spice. It came on a bed of perfect and fine-ground grits with sweet and spicy brussel sprouts to die for.“

“We found PIGS BBQ as a catering option for our wedding through the recommended vendors from our venue. We did not want a traditional sit down "catering hall" meal and after our tasting, we knew PIGS was going to knock it out of the park! So many delicious choices for your event and they worked closely with our alcohol vendor (Lakefront, right next door to them). Lisa was a pleasure to work with being responsive and accommodating to all our questions and requests. Kevin followed my husband and I around making sure we were attended to all night with drinks and food. Our friends and family are still raving about the mac & cheese!“

“We stopped in on our way to Richmond. Cute place in historic Fredrick. We stopped because the sign board outside had ice cream sandwiches on it! We had hamburger and beef hot dog. Hubby said that his burger was the best! I also has a key lime pie ice cream sandwich. DELICIOUS!“

“We were there for a date night. Food was terrific and our bartender was attentive, kind, and friendly. The only snag was that there was a chewing gum on one of the barstools and the gum stuck on my dress, which I was not able to remove. Our bartender was incredibly apologetic and tried everything to help, and I really appreciated her kindness. Other than that, we had absolutely lovely time.“

“Great margaritas and tasty food. My wife was expecting the shrimp in the taco to be warm and the soft taco shells were also not heated. Is it me or does this not sound correct. Maybe the chef does it differently here because everywhere else we've been it's heated . Other then that everything else was good.“

“We had a great time at this restaurant! There unfortunately was a big fire downtown when we went here but nonetheless they made sure we still got our food mid blackout and we’re still going ok! We loved the bartender she was so fun and nice! Will be back for sure!“

“Love the vibes here. Very chill and laid back. They also play great music. Clean, well-lit environment and the staff are all very friendly. The food is good too. My friend and I had the calamari appetizer, and the steak & cheese + chicken tacos entrees. Both were good, I plan to come back with a larger group next time. Huge bonus is that they’re open late. We arrived after 9pm, closer to 10 and were served our meals which were both great. The waiter (who was so kind and attentive) told us that they do brunch some days with bottomless mimosas. Can’t wait to come back for that.“
