Came here for the first time alone about a week ago -- loved the atmosphere and menu, and had a wonderful bartender (can't remember his name, but he was a taller redhead who was originally from Annapolis) -- he was personable, incredibly friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful with his scotch and whiskey recommendations. The bacon wrapped scallops were also pretty good.

Brought my husband last night and the service from the bar staff was terrible. We were greeted promptly, but once we had our drinks, we were never acknowledged again. After finishing our first round, we sat for over twenty minutes with completely empty drink glasses and water glasses. Were planning to get another round of drinks with some light food, but after being completely ignored by both bartenders, we finally flagged someone to ask for our check instead. Would definitely not recommend unless you enjoy begging to be served.

The Bar Manager knows his stuff. I went to Dry 85 for 3 years while I lived in Annapolis. To say its a phenominal spot would be an understatement. Its the best cocktail bar ive been to, hands down. Excellent assortment of pre-prohibition drinks and an amazing rotating house cocktail list.

Billy, I hope you get this message, but I moved away recently (I always ordered a Last Word and talked cocktails with you) and now I'm a bar manager at a Washington bar in Port Angeles. You set the standard for me. Thank you for the drive and the inspiration. I'll be back to visit, wishing you and Christian the best!

We visited on a hot day and loved the funky, chill atmosphere inside. Alice introduced my husband to a fabulous bourbon flight and educated us about what we were tasting. She was so personable and knowledgeable! Awesome time!

Great bourbon and whiskey bar! Staff is very knowledgeable and willing to spend time helping you choose your selection, and there's lots to choose from!

Of all the bars we visited on an afternoon of bar-hopping with visiting friends on a quiet afternoon, this is the only one I'm spending the time to write a review for.

Delicious beer, friendly bartender, and fun cocktails. I had a flight of dark beers, and every single one of them was phenomenal; I can't recommend getting a flight enough.

We did date night here and enjoyed every bit of this restaurant!! The food was beyond delicious, the mixed drinks hit the spot, and the staff was awesome! The portion sizes were large and the food was so tasty! I absolutely recommend going here!

We got the spicy street corn tots, the BLT, and the duck. Everything was cooked to perfection!

For the uninitiated...Flights of Bourbon.
For the afficianado...I challenge you to ask for something they do not have...
For the French fry afficianado...thick hand cut fries...
Enjoy!
