We ordered one with pineapple flavor and their classic the coral wig drink, probably my fav flavor of cocktails I had in Baltimore.

Small speakeasy with outdoor seating available. Dark and moody, just how I like it

Amazing place! The cocktails are great and the atmosphere is unique. Highly recommend to arrive early because there is only limited space available.

Cozy little space with a truly excellent Fernet Sour.

Great tasting cocktails in an attractively dingy bar. Too small a venue for a big party but ideal for a small gathering.

Absolutely loved my experience at The Coral Wig Bar in Baltimore—a must-visit spot! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a fun night out. I had the pleasure of trying their Cane’s Old Fashioned, Estate Martini, and Pray for Rain cocktails, and each one was expertly crafted and full of unique flavors. The bartender is clearly passionate about the craft, paying attention to every detail to make each drink an experience on its own. Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic place to unwind, The Coral Wig Bar is a gem you won’t want to miss. Highly recommended!

Went for a cocktail before a show at the nearby Center Stage. The bar was dark enough that I had to use my phone light to see the menu and bill. Given the early hour it was a light crowd and the music was deafening to me. Perhaps it is better with a full house. Can't speak to the food but the drink menu was brief. I'll leave this place to the hipsters

I came to Baltimore to see what the fuss is all about and stumbled in to this place on a whim. In a town that so far hadn’t made me feel at home, coming here and getting a drink and conversation from Tatim changed my whole experience on Baltimore instantly. I ordered the Flamboyan, worried it may be too sweet but she said she would make sure it came out perfect. Not sure what else one could be looking for in a place to spend their money. Good drinks made by good people. Adding this to my Baltimore must stop list.
I’m not one to frequent cocktail bars, but I heard good things about this place and the vibes looked cool. It’s tucked in an alley adjacent to the Ulysses hotel. Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was the loud music blaring. That was very off putting. Also, the atmosphere was a little too moody. Very dark. Wasn’t particularly crowded on a Saturday night. Found a seat at the end of the bar. They only had two people working. Just one woman making drinks and a guy taking orders and cleaning up. Took about 15-20 minutes just to get my drink because of that. It was ok. Staff leaves a lot to be desired. They’re very stuck up. I wouldn’t return.

I had the opportunity to visit the Coal Wig while in Baltimore for a conference. First off, I want to mention that Tim and Tatum were exceptional and not only did they make me feel so welcome, but each had wonderful skill and were a pleasure to speak with. =)
The atmosphere was dark, mysterious, and delightfully detailed. The vibe was chill and unassuming (keep in mind, I was in on a weeknight, Monday, to be specific, so I cannot speak to the vibe on weekends).
Now, I’m sure you’re reading this because you want to know about the cocktails?? How were they?? What was the experience?! Well, let’s just say, I was so engaged and connect to entirety of my visit, I failed to take any photos of the drinks (their Instagram has plenty of those anyway, check it out). The taste, however, was nothing short of exceptional. Balanced, thoughtful, and absolutely delicious. With such a curated selection of spirits (and a heavy focus on Rum, a personal favorite of mine), I would expect nothing short of precision, and that is what I got. 10 of 10 recommend. You can bet your bottom dollar that should I ever find myself in the vicinity of Baltimore again, I will surely stop by for another delightful experience.
Incase you’re keen, I had ordered: - Pray for Rain (my choice) - Carrot Bay Martini (a recommendation from Tatum, the Bartender) Know, with confidence, that BOTH were delicious.
If you aren’t stay near by the Coral Wig, it is very much worth the Uber/Lyft ride. Trust me.

Getting there was a bit confusing ended up going into the Ulysses, the staff there directed us, and said to go down straight and be on the left by the alley. lol literally down the corner
So if you get lost just have to go down a bit and you’d see a flight of stairs and you’d hear music coming out that’s when you know you’re there
First coming there they have just a few seats when you come in further lol thought there might be more room but that’s just the opening to the restroom
Might have to wait out a table if you’re coming in a group or even with just one other person
The drinks and vibes were great, very well mixed full of flavor
I got the fiamboyan and my boyfriend got the banana hammock
The drink didn’t taste so much like banana but def has a faint banana flavor to it
