24 Best Wine Bars in Baltimore

“A define Baltimore gem. Deep Asian takes on traditional American cuisine. Brunch was outstanding.

Gorgeous and relaxing ambience, incredibly friendly staff, delicious food and a wonderful vibe.

As an added benefit, if you like Everton FC, it also doubles as a fan pub.

Definitely recommend if you’re in the Hamden area.“

“What a fantastic meal my husband and our son had. Son has been to many restaurants around the world and we all thoroughly enjoyed this one. We tried many different dishes and split them . These included the sour dough bread , liver pate, Sussex smokie, mackerel and of course had a delicious dessert after. The service and the food were fantastic.“

“This is a cute and cozy hidden gem. The perfect place to relax, have a glass of wine and a tasty tapas dish or two! They have a great wine selection and the sliders and empanadas are delicious 😋. The original artwork and decor is a vibe and people are super friendly. They make you feel like family.

The bodega has a little of everything from fresh fruit to seasoning. If you need it they probably have it! I love this little spot. We will definitely be back!“

“Great beers and wines. Lovely beer garden rated one of Esquire’s best in the US.“

“❤️

First of all, I want to thank the entire team, but I especially want to recognize our amazing server, Diane. She truly knew what she was doing and was one of the best servers I have ever encountered. She was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and made our experience exceptional. A huge thank you to her!

As for the food, everything was outstanding and absolutely worth the money. The portions were very generous maybe even a little too big! We wished we had room to try dessert, but unfortunately we were too full.

The quality of the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for dinner. If we’re ever back in the area, we will definitely return. Thank you again to Diane and the entire team for such a wonderful experience!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Piping Hot Crab Cake Perfection in Baltimore

Stopped by Riverside Taphouse and ordered the lump crab cake sandwich, and it absolutely delivered.

The crab cake arrived piping hot, packed with generous chunks of lump crab meat, and cooked to a beautiful golden-brown perfection. The house sauce complemented the sandwich perfectly without overpowering the flavor of the crab. Every bite was rich, fresh, and exactly what you'd hope for when ordering a Maryland crab cake.

The coleslaw deserves its own mention. It was the perfect blend of fresh, sweet, and tangy, adding a crisp contrast to the warm sandwich. It's the kind of side dish that elevates the entire meal rather than just filling space on the plate.

To top it off, the Bloody Mary was exceptionally well-balanced. Not too spicy, not too salty, and full of flavor without overwhelming the palate. It paired perfectly with the crab cake and completed the experience.

If you're looking for a great crab cake sandwich in Baltimore, this one is worth the trip. Fresh ingredients, excellent preparation, and flavors that showcase why Maryland is famous for its crab cakes.

🍹🦀 Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back.“

“premiere dining experience with delicious food, cocktails, and a very welcoming and knowledgeable staff!! Will definitely be back!“

“I recommend Limoncello Baltimore for delicious food and nice atmosphere! Baltimore is known for its restaurants and Limoncello demonstrates great quality and excellent service.“

“Oh boy, let me tell you about the pre-game magic we experienced at Johnny's! With a high school state championship soccer game at Loyola on our agenda, my friend, her daughter, and I were on the hunt for the perfect spot to fuel up before the excitement. And boy, did we hit the jackpot with Johnny's! Walking into Johnny's was like finding a hidden gem in a treasure map. The cozy vibes wrapped around us like a warm blanket on a chilly Sunday—it was just what we needed! We settled ourselves at the bar, eager for some drinks and snacks, and that’s where the real fun began. Our bartender was nothing short of a beverage maestro! I ordered a cortado that was so perfectly crafted I nearly swooned. Seriously, it should have been on the cover of a coffee magazine! And let me tell you about their wine list—it’s like a unique art piece. I picked a Pinot Noir to accompany my house-made Old Bay chips, and it was such a delightful pairing that I felt like a sophisticated sommelier for a moment. Now, my bourbon-loving friend was over the moon to discover that Johnny's stocked his all-time favorite brand, FEW. After indulging in wine and coffee that could make any day brighter, we just had to cap off our relaxed Sunday with a round of bourbon. Because what’s a pre-game without a little celebratory sip, right? My friend and her daughter were enjoying their vanilla latte and mocha to the fullest—let’s just say the smiles on their faces were positively radiant! And the cookies? Oh my goodness! The gingerbread and peanut butter cookies were instant crowd-pleasers. I’m pretty sure I’d fight a bear for another bite! Now, here’s the kicker: my friend might live in sunny Florida, but I’m ready to brave the Washington Beltway traffic any time just to return to Johnny's. If they nail snacks and drinks this well before a soccer game, I can't even imagine what kind of culinary genius they have up their sleeves! So, Johnny's, you’ve stolen my heart (and my taste buds)—I’m already counting down the days until my next visit!“

“Food was not good pasta taste like spaghetti O’s lamb chops tasted like it was boiled. I do not recommend! I selected would not recommend and Facebook made me recommend and I DON’T“

“Good peoples :) Great location.“

“Wonderful food and service!“

“Great little local down to earth restaurant. The food was superbly prepared with attention to detail. The ingredients were very fresh and cooked to perfection.
The welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like home. We look forward to coming back every few weeks and definitely are interested in coming your way the special dinner events.“

“The cocktails are amazing and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it.“

“Nice Vibe . The Bartender Ishu was Fantastic !!! The Best Drinks I had all summer . Highly recommend“

“The Four Seasons did an exceptional job with transforming their splash pool bar and grill. They had very well decorated sheds, including throws which made it look very cozy. In the sheds you can indulge in a prix fixe (pre-fixed) 4 course meal. Just above the pool bar and grill is a skating rink. They offer marshmallows, coco, music, fire pits and a fireplace. Not to mention, you get the best views of Baltimore's adjacent Harbor. Unfortunately, I did not make reservations via Open Table in advance so I was not able to indulge in the festivities or have the full experience with a meal. With that said, I will definitely try to visit again soon and maybe take the children. I would strongly recommend checking this seasonal offering out and book in advance because the slots fills up fast.“

“I’ve been here twice and will return again! On Thursday nights they have live jazz. Both times we all were very satisfied with our food and cocktails. The cocktails are not watered down to say the least lol. The only issue is that the food takes a while to receive however the food is always hot. Great service by staff from the beginning to the end!“
