Just returned from an awful Friday evening at Dry 85. The earlier reviews about poor service are sadly true. They are rightfully proud about the depth of their whisky and bourbon selection but cannot support it with their thin staff.
My fiancée and I were planning to have a few rounds of drinks and dinner at the bar of Dry 85. Like some others who have reviewed here, the first round of drinks and appetizer arrived promptly but after that, the bartenders and waitstaff were non-existent. Getting another drink and more food took over 20 minutes. And people from the table had to go to the bat because their waiters were not showing up to take orders. What type of restaurant just leaves it customers out in the cold on a Friday night? Read the reviews and you'll see that is this happens a lot at Dry 85.
After getting tired of waiting we paid our bill (the first time the staff actually were attentive) and left.
Don't bother with Dry 85. Lots of hype at a high price point and bad management. There are plenty of better alternatives in Annapolis that treat their customers better...

My type of bar, great bartenders making great cocktails. Excellent service and mixed drinks.
Lots of fancy whiskey, higher prices ($15 per drink) but kinda consistent with Annapolis. Can get busy and slow at times.
Great for bringing your buds, or your date out, or even stopping by solo dolo.

Soooo I came here specifically for a drink on the online menu. When I sat down and asked for it, the drink was not even available. Super huge bummer..

The best cocktails in downtown Annapolis. We visited during boat show weekend and they only had one front of house employee, Ryan, taking orders, bartending, bar backing, all the things by himself and never complained and suggested great tasting drinks.

My husband and I decided to elope on Thursday this past week. We wanted to celebrate with a few family members and friends. Dry 85 was happy to accommodate us. Paul, the bartender was amazing. He really went above and beyond to make us feel special!! And the drinks 10/10!

Good service! Worst fillet minion I had in my life. Done to perfection but the worst steak sauce I ever tasted along with completely saltless fries. Couldn’t even finish my plate.
