20 Best Cocktail Bars in Annapolis

“Love this place! Great atmosphere and people!!“

“Great food, great view, awesome service.“

“Review from 9/20/23

While not a very traditional sushi place, it still has great food and a nice ambience. Outdoor seating was great at the time and our waitress Ms. Becca was wonderful.

Miso soup was pleasant and filling. The edamame was, well, edamame, but nonetheless a good opener. Avocado salad was a little dry and uninspiring, but the flavor was decent, especially in tandem with the pine nuts.

The star of the appetizers, however, was definitely the yomato's tofu, which is always my friends and families' go-to. It's a little sweet, very crispy on the outside, with the savory taste of bonito flakes and soy wrapping the dish together; it's very filling and shareable as well, and definitely my biggest suggestion.

We tried the Kamikaze, Metropolitan, and Miami rolls. Of them, the Kamikaze was just fine; however, we enjoyed the Miami rolls and the Metropolitan was our favorite.“

“Went last night for the first time . Loved the vibe and the space also thought the food was very creative with a selection of creative craft drinks. Looking forward to going back again and would recommend others.“

“We enjoyed the crab dip, crab cakes, crab soup and beverages. Incredible ambience, great food, great people. Would highly recommend!“

“Great food and drink, with live music on weekends!“

“Had a great meal at Pearl. Wonderful atmosphere with fun energy. They have a vibrant bar. We had an espresso martini because several of the to the patrons had them and it was great. They have Prosecco on tap which was also fun and a nice selection of beers by tap and bottle.

While the menu is “small plates” they are well portioned large “small plates”. We had tuna tartare, baked oysters, pear arugula salad and Brussels sprouts. All were excellent! Our server, Kyle, was superb and added to the fun of our meal!

We will be back as I want to try the bavette steak and crab cakes. They looked excellent as well.“

“My mom and I are new to the Annapolis area and I happened to see a review on Next Door about this restaurant and I'm so glad I did. This restaurant and good is fantastic. We were greeted by a very pleasant young lady. (I forgot to get her name) I had studied their menu and couldn't decide between the whole red snapper and the shrimp quesadillas. I originally picked the red snapper but they didn't have any available so I ordered the shrimp quesadillas and baby....that quesadillas was EVERYTHING!! I was so good I almost ordered another one to take home but didn't. It was light and cheesy. It was perfect!! My mom tried the shrimp burritos with re-fried beans and rice and she loved it!! Y'all need to run not walk to Naty's. I highly recommend it!! I will definitely be back for my red snapper for sure!“

“My bridal shower at Acqua al 2 was perfect! The atmosphere, staff attentiveness, the amazing food and drinks… we all had so many wonderful things to say. Thank you, Stacy and Acqua al 2 team!“

“Great Cocktails, Great Food, Great Atmosphere. If you’re only in Annapolis one night, go to Level and you won’t regret it.“

“This past weekend, my wife and I met up with friends at The Goat in Annapolis, MD, a spot that came highly recommended. The experience did not disappoint! Our server, Camille C., did a phenomenal job from start to finish, providing friendly, attentive service throughout our visit.

The restaurant has a cozy, laid-back atmosphere with a dog-friendly outdoor seating area toward the back, which was perfect because one of our friends brought their dog. It was great to see that the place accommodated pets so easily.

We started with some appetizers: the Guacamole & Salsa served with tortilla chips, and the Nachos, which featured house-made tortilla chips, malted cheddar, pickled jalapeños, cotija cheese, salsa rojo, and crema. We opted to go without any added meat, and the nachos were deliciously satisfying on their own.

For dinner, I tried the Smothered Burrito without meat, loaded instead with extra veggies. It had a flavorful combination of cheese, refried black beans, avocado, roasted red peppers, and onions, all smothered in a red sauce and lime crema, with a side salad. They were very accommodating for vegetarians, which I appreciated.

Our group also ordered two servings of the Blackened Salmon, which came with refried black beans and cabbage curtido, and one Mahi Sandwich. Each dish was well-prepared and packed with flavor.

To drink, we had three Hibiscus Ginger Beers, which added a refreshing and slightly spicy kick to our meals.

The overall experience was fantastic—the food was fresh and flavorful, the service from Camille was top-notch, and the ambiance was perfect for a casual evening out with friends. The Goat is definitely a spot I’d recommend and return to!“

“Friendly & fantastic service everytime I've been there. Quick and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“Found this fun breakfast spot on Trip Advisor; visiting from WV on 10/06/24. Three of us ordered breakfast burritos with bacon and chorizo. Delicious food and we ate outdoors, plenty of tables and enjoyed live music while taking in the view of the water and a small marina. Just perfect on a Sunday morning!“

“Delicious tacos. It's listed as a Mexican restaurant so I expected to see other options besides tacos. Wait staff very friendly“

“Caliente is a whole vibe!!! The service was great, the entire staff was friendly and the Salsa lesson was so much fun.“

“My bridal shower at Acqua al 2 was perfect! The atmosphere, staff attentiveness, the amazing food and drinks… we all had so many wonderful things to say. Thank you, Stacy and Acqua al 2 team!“
