The Elk Room is a true speakeasy — discreetly tucked away, preserving that sense of mystery and magic that makes it so special. The atmosphere is dark, intimate, and effortlessly sophisticated with just the right touch of rustic charm.
Their cocktail menu is exceptional, offering both creativity and balance, and there’s a great variety of small plates and entrées to pair with your drink of choice. I was torn between ordering the Passion Pitt cocktail or the Eternal Sunshine — both sounded incredible — but I went with the Passion Pitt, and it was absolutely splendid. Beautifully balanced, refreshing, and crafted with care.
The staff truly set the tone — attentive, knowledgeable, and efficient. I was greeted the moment I walked in and had my drink order taken within minutes of sitting down. Service like that makes a lasting impression.
We stopped in just for drinks this time, but I’m already planning to return for a full meal to enjoy the complete experience. The Elk Room is the perfect spot for anyone who appreciates craft cocktails, refined ambiance, and top-notch service. Highly recommend.

Just now I went to Elk room not more than 5 minutes ago (approx. 1235am). In town for a business conference and went to get a drink with a friend before I head out in the morning. I was just told there is a WAITING LIST FOR A TABLE. When my friend asked if they were doing take out she said the kitchen was closed. I immediately asked, “ the kitchen is closed…..but there is a wait list to get it…….for drinks only?” She immediately realized how ridiculously incredible it sounded when I put it together but stuck with it nonetheless. Then she ceremoniously offered to put us on the waiting list. I told my friend who is a local I wanted to leave.
Whoever owns this place should be ashamed. Or maybe this is how they want their potential guests to be handled. Either way, I will never come back and I’m sure my friend won’t either.

Our bartender was so wonderful. We enjoyed our cocktails. This space was very warm and nicely appointed. We sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks, Passion Pit, Fools Gold and Splitzville, that were all perfectly made and delicious.

Waited for 20 minutes just to watch half of Baltimore go in before us and then be told it would be much longer than we had been advised.

Says they are open until 2am and you go at midnight and there’s a 45 minute wait waitlist because 20 people are in the space and there is “one server and one bartender and they’re so sorry”
Long story short, if you love great food and even better cocktails, this is the spot. Speakeasy vibe from the entrance with the barred peep door, to the dim classic atmosphere. Perfect. Great seating area, amazing bar, insane amount of spirits and knowledge. Gabe behind the bar the night I was there was amazing. Made my favs, suggested some changes/upgrades/different drinks off that, what a legend. Escargot and French Mushroom dish. Ridiculous.
If you’re in Baltimore and appreciate great cocktails and amazing food, go here.

This was my second year in a row here around my birthday and this experience was a complete turn around! I’m a bar person so maybe that was the difference here. Bang and James were top tier! Not only are they incredible mixologists, they really were so personable, knowledgeable and fun to be around! I really think atlas should let their bartenders have some fun and get features on the menu from time to time and really offer bartenders choice cocktails because they would thrive!

Went just for cocktails, and Bodhi was a great mixologist! Excellent choice if flavors, and the atmosphere was very dark and moody in a good way. It is a wonderful speakeasy! Thanks Bodhi you made our night!
