I was excited to try this place, but there is nothing special about it, no speakeasy ambience and you don’t get any value for your dollar. $20 a drink with the 20% gratuity added in Baltimore is insane. The service was nice, but that’s about it. Not worth the money.

Actually would go back, but Saffron was extremely rude to my party and I. I believe it was because he got a bit too intoxicated. The musical choices did not match the ambiance after a while. He was playing rap from younger generations and my party and I just wanted to hear some 90s R&B or anything a bit more enjoyable and relatable. He immediately said no… so we closed our tabs and took our business elsewhere. We were a party of 7. Imagine, the drinks are great, the ambiance beautiful, and you can’t ensure your people are having a good time. The music was hardcore rap and unbearable. I’m in customer service, so there’s a better way to tell customers no but to tell us “you don’t really care” and “no” so rudely was it for me. I’d go back, but if he’s there, maybe not.

Really cool speakeasy in a bar, second floor to the left behind freezer door. It's very small inside offering a bar and 2 bench seats with tables but the music was great!!!! Has a nice vibe and drinks were bomb and affordable. I will go back!
Parking: Just get in where you fit in. Parking can be hard in a weekend night.

Not a speak easy by any stretch of the imagination, and barely qualifying as a sit-down cocktail bar.The first few times I went closer to when they had just opened, I was really excited to have a speak easy-style bar in the neighborhood. The dark paint and decor is nice, and initially they had the bartenders wearing a nice white/black upscale uniform, played more subtle cocktail bar music that set a tone for speak easy/cocktail bar atmosphere, and you could sit down and talk with friends.The last few times I've been (more recently) they've just slid back on all of these markers. Overly crowded with a loud and rowdy fed hill crowd, loud music that you'd hear at any other bar in the city which also prevents talking to your friends, poor execution/ratios on classic drinks (death in the afternoon, NY sour), takes forever to order a drink, and there is nowhere to sit due to being overcrowded. At this point, it's nowhere near a speak easy, but it also is barely even a cocktail bar experience.I would say that, sadly, it is now just an overcrowded, but dark, regular bar where you can also order cocktails. Really wish they could tighten this place back up to what they were originally going for, but as it stands now I think it's going to be off the rotation for me.

I love the allure of a speakeasy. The Wurst is a cute hideaway in fed hill when you want to switch up your bar experience. I visited on a game night weekend which I believe brought an unruly crowd. Outside of that the ambiance, music, and drinks were great. I’ll definitely visit again.

Danny is so great and drinks on point every single time! Mike made us some amazing mixed shots. Just great and cool, ambiance with fire music! They only have chex mixx and cheese itz, just a heads up. But who cares, when the craft cocktails are thee best in the city!

They unfortunately don’t sell good but you can bring food up from downstairs. They don’t have the typical bar but they have amazing cocktails to pick from. It’s very cute but rather small. If you know you know. Highly recommend.

So...I've read all these awesome reviews and I must say I beg to differ. This was hands down the WURST speakeasy I've ever visited. I may be a speakeasy SNOB since I enjoy finding these hidden gems and indulging in their often unique and intriguing fare. This place has NO VIBE WHATSOEVER. So that in itself is enough of a turnoff to send me running in the other direction. Part of the experience of finding a speakeasy is finding a hidden, yet welcoming place to sip on something you most likely will never find someplace else. If I am to look silly going on a treasure hunt to find your place, I should be in awe when I enter the room. This place does NOTHING of the sort.A few tips for the owners:-try shortening your bar for a bit more lounge space...it is not necessary to have such a long bar space in such a tiny space.-put up some interesting wallpaper...maybe find something with some funky beer mugs, or suggestive of bratwurst...be/get creative with it...pick a theme for crying out loud..wallpaper is a cheap yet effectiveway ro add some pizzazzto any space.-hang a couple chandeliers..this would definitely add some depth to the space...ikea has petty interesting stuff...or makenone out of a candelabra if you want to gwt creative.-hire a bouncer to control your crowd... make ppl wait...make a password...they would clamor more to come in, but they're not allowed to just hang around your freezer door either...they'll get a text whenever you're ready to entertain them.-make the door close on its own! Why does your door just hang wide open? More reasons to hire a bouncer!-try making your drink names more inviting...giving them their usual names is just plain ole BORING!-AND for heaven's sake...PLEASE be careful/mindful of the music you play, it should not sound like stuff I would hear in the neighborhood dive bar.-create a vibe, create intrigue, do SOMETHING to make this a place a speakeasy enthusiast would want to be in...the pretty drink show is not gonna do it, anyone can find a bar to serve them "fancy" drinks, those places are a dime a dozen.Hope this helps. I would love to visit again, but my initial visit definitely didn't do it for me.
I had The Wurst time ?Just kidding! @thewurstbar is the perfect little escape from the Fed Hill sports crowd!-This little speakeasy with dim lighting and tasty strong drinks is exactly what I needed. The bartenders were friendly and the music kept going!-I will definitely be back for your Sunday special! Thank you for letting me take pictures ??Espresso Martini ☕️ ?

Literally “The WURST” bar I’ve been too. If you’re going to have a speakeasy vibe you should have way better customer service than what is currently on display. Door man cool, bartender sucks!
