This place is what you expect from a speakeasy. Unmarked door, dark interior, candles burning, small and intimate. I've been here multiple times on a weekday night and once on a Saturday night. Had to return on a different Saturday because the place was so packed you couldn't get in the door. Great place to go during the week when it's not so busy. But good for them having such a following of cocktail lovers. Because let's face it, the cocktails are truly amazing! Great flavors, and overall appearance is beautiful. As it does take time to make the drinks, you do have to wait a bit on the busy nights which is understandable. The only thing I don't like is they add on 20% gratuity. Im not saying they don't deserve it, but let the customer make the choice. Service was great and the bartenders super friendly. So I would easily have given 20% but I think it sets a bad precedent for making sure service is always trying to set the bar higher. Just my opinion. I still give them 5 stars as I do love this place and will definitely be going back again and again.

This is a beautiful speakeasy located right outside Remington/Hampden. The ambience inside is stellar, it's cozy a bit dark-academia vibe, definitely matches the prohibition era setting. Service was quick and top notch, the staff are so friendly and attentive to your orders. I ordered a cocktail and mocktail and both were absolutely delicious! It was such a lovely place to visit for a fun girl's night out!

I’m a blunt reviewer because I also use other people’s reviews to try a place. WC Harlan is so historic chic, I’m new to the area and it’s just a refreshing find of quality, vibes and nightlife.

Incredible ambience, fantastic cocktails, great service.
My wife and I came here after a show at the Lyric. It was our first time and we had to ask someone where the entrance was ?. It was so cool to experience the speakeasy atmosphere and the service was excellent. Our cocktails were very well crafted and quite good. We even enjoyed the music that was playing during our visit. It’s always fun when you happen upon a unique cocktail bar experience.

WC Harlan is definitely the best drinking spot in Baltimore. You get to try some really unique cocktails as well as ask the bar for recommendations and or something that you've read about and want to try. The mood here is very relaxing as well as a great thinking space. I love all the real candles and wax dripping from them! Grab a friend and head over for a delicious cocktail and conversation.

I asked for an espresso martini and was told they don’t make them. Later I saw in the menu that they had a drink with espresso in it. So I was already confused by that mishap. Ordered a French 75 and old fashioned instead. Both drinks were insanely strong to the point of being undrinkable. French 75 just tasted like lemon juice and a splash of gin. And the old fashioned just tasted like they filled the glass with whiskey. This was my second time coming here after not having good drinks the first time. Everyone seems to love it which is why I came back again. But to my disappointment, it still wasn’t good. Definitely won’t be back for a third time.

The kind of place where people of a certain age turn on their phone flashlights to read the menu. This has an amazing spooky, dark, dusty
