34 Best Cocktail Bars near Elkridge

“Good food, good beer, good atmosphere“

“Love the atmosphere. The band was pretty good. Great food options and entertainment. Some of the menu items have nuts added which seem unnecessary. They should consider removing the nuts from the lobster dish.“

“We just went there tonight and loved everything about this place! Amazing food, staff and service!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“I just hosted my husband’s 40th birthday here and the experience from start to finish was EXCELLENT! Candice was great to work with, designing a buffet menu and a space arrangement that worked with my party theme (murder mystery party for ~35 guests). We had the whole top floor and the vibes were immaculate and they set up the room exactly to my specifications and even made a couple changes on the fly (thank you!). I heard from so many people how great the food was — personally I LOVED the meatballs and the okra. Guests loved the wings, mac n cheese, channa masala, and sausage & rice especially. We had good drinks, friendly service, and an altogether wonderful time. Thanks so much to the Old Major team for making the evening perfect!“

“Terrific new local small business in OEC making great Vodka and Gin!! This is run by a great friend of mine and will be a terrific addition to OEC.“

“Drinks and atmosphere are incredible….. bar stools are awful though.“

“We stopped by on a whim and loved the experience! Quiet on a rainy Thursday. The vibe was so cool … reminded me of New Orleans! We sat at the bar and were looking for something non-alcoholic and bartender Bong made us each a delicious bespoke cocktail based on our preferred flavor profiles and even showed us the aperitifs. Will definitely be going back!“

“My 60th surprise dinner was held here and it was festive and the waitstaff and food were amazing!“

“Very very basic. Nothing interesting as far as flavors. Barely any chicken and a TON of noodles. Only taste is sweet. Disappointed and won’t return“

“Everything from the ambiance, the decor, to the immaculate cocktails, and entrees. They are truly a culinary experience, right in my small quaint neighborhood. Feel so lucky to be so close to them and to share the neighborhood space.“

“Our favorite place in Baltimore filled with really great people.“

“First time there. Was packed but offered inside seating to wait for outside seating, ended up at the bar. Guy next to me told about a dish not on the menu, tried it- very good. Good margaritas. Budget friendly“

“Enjoyed salmon and the Caesar salad with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand. My husband had the Chesapeake and a bowl of onion soup. We were served by Ethan who’s an awesome waiter. I can’t say enough. Love it.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Walrus as usual. Their shucking raw bar is the best. Seafood is always fresh and delicious. Their staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Aaron was no exception. We went for Chesapeake Oyster week and half price on raw bar Tuesday so we enjoyed a great meal at a fantastic price. Highly recommend, going back real soon.“

“I was lucky enough to come here for an event hosted by Brian Wee. The atmosphere & ambiance was nice and relaxed. That was the best pizza I have had in a long time! 💕 I am from TN, but if I ever come back to this area I will definitely come back!“

“The atmosphere is so chill. Everything I had was so delicious. Went for a 50th Birthday Party.“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent but a day there, and I had an incredible time. The surroundings were neat and there were ample parking lot. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. They do sell snacks. A special occasion gave me the chance to visit and to explore what do they offer. You can book a reservation. Stairs and elevator are available but I prefer using my legs. You can't miss it. It's within the city, and businesses are all around. I didn't order any food from there, so I don't know how their food taste, but what I can say is that the occasion I was invited to, the food was great. The food is more traditional based on the event. But overall, the staff were excellent and they did their very best to get everyone situated and to feel at home. ?

Parking: Parking was free. There are ample parking lots. There are bins, recycle bins, stationed there for bottle glasses. For further questions, call the library. You can find their phone number at their website.?

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“Great food and great drink. Service was awesome“

“When I stepped into Corkscrew on a Saturday night, I was struck by how much of a geniunely good time everyone was having. But when you consider that the DJ was doing his thing with banger after banger, it's little wonder.The food: I found it to be solid but some items were not as moist and flavorful as they could have been (the salmon), didn't have the kick they could have (the jerk egg rolls), and others saltier than they should have been (the collard greens), I really enjoyed their mac and cheese--it's perfect crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside--the way it's supposed to be. I would order that alone and be happy.The drinks: the bartenders were on point. We had a variety of drinks both on their menu and classics. They hit every time. They even make a great amaretto sour. The Corkscrew sour was a surprising and welcome twist on the sours we are familiar with. And I'm not embarrassed to say that I ordered an amaretto sour and enjoyed it. Like really enjoyed it. The bartenders are beyond belief.The music: we were initially disappointed that there wasn't live music this time but the DJ quickly made us forget all about it. He was playing hits from the 2000s, modern tracks, Afrobeats, Baltimore classics, and even some 70s all timers here and there. It was incredible.Vibe: the seats are so plush and comfortable that you don't want to leave. The interior design says sexy urban chic. You feel so damn elegant just being here.Service: the young man who served us was pleasant and noticeably polite. However, after we ordered from the menu, we were perplexed to see waiters walking by with plates of fried fish, steak, and salmon--all not listed on the menu.We didn't see him for some time but when we flagged him down, it turns out he that he forgot to tell us about the specials. Then he asked if we wanted him to tell us about the specials. It was as annoying as it was hilarious. I couldn't be mad at him at all.Overall: this place is awesome. We have to keep spots like this in Baltimore open at all costs. Please go support them and you'll have a great time doing it. 9/10“

“food is ok. have had better. very loud salsa music the whole time. I,m sure thats for the kitchen help to enjoy. no one else liked it. had to scream to talk to my friend the whole time. won't go back. I don't like to pay 130 for lunch and not be able to enjoy it. thats just stupid.“

“Best Mexican food around. Friendly staff always know your name and preferences! Monday night trivia is the best!!“

“I usually try to stop here when passing through BWI, because the cocktails are among some of the best I've had. My most recent visit was no exception as far as my drink (the Baltimore Cosmo) was concerned, but it was especially nice because the bartender, Khadijah, was very friendly and a good conversationalist. She helped the wait for my flight pass quickly!“

“Great decor, music, I like the margaritas they already have mixed, perfect location to walk to after an event at Hippodrome as we did (and I have many great memories of this club back in the day when it was under different ownership as well). I was really impressed with the level of the music! It bumped loud enough that your body felt it and kept you dancing but low enough that you can talk to people and still hear each other so it's the perfect mix. Because of this I will def be coming back soon since it's a spot to both dance AND talk (which is actually very hard to find). Only 2 things. 1.needs a coat check 2.led lights were dope but the whites made it a little too bright but I know they're color changeable and dimable so it might just have been the settings while I was there and not an every day thing but I wished it was a little dimmer.“

“Just a great atmosphere and friendly people“

“I haven’t been here in years, in my neighborhood. I had a great time with my friends. The staff was attentive and helpful. The happy hour was enjoyable good food and drinks 🍹,I’m sure the dinner menu is good. The host of the show was funny, they acknowledged the people celebrating 🥳 their birthdays with a dance off! The band was awesome 🤩, and the 🎤 singing was surely a mood! The band starts at dinner time we were there for 4 hours, it was full. We left to allow others to be seated and enjoy their evening!!💯🎶😊“

“Taylor was working the bar and was absolutely phenomenal! We had been connecting at multiple airports for this trip and this was the BEST service we have received the whole trip. Taylor was attentive and so friendly. It was busy during our visit, restaurant and bar was full, but we got the drinks we ordered quickly and so we didn’t even notice. Amazing experience and will definitely come back if we are ever connecting in Baltimore!“

“Great ambiance, fresh ingredients, a unique menu, friendly staff, and great Happy Hour menu prices — a great restaurant in the heart of the city!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Le personnel est très bien et la nourriture était bonne pour le prix. je recommande“

“I had a great experience at Caribeyond Restaurant! The flavors brought me right to the heart of Haitian cuisine. The macaroni pie was creamy, cheesy, and perfectly baked—definitely a standout. The black rice was rich and fragrant, and the chicken legs were juicy and seasoned to perfection. I also really enjoyed the fish cakes—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor.

The only dish that didn’t quite hit the mark for me was the chicken patty. It was a bit dry and didn’t have the same bold taste as the other items. That said, everything else made up for it, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more.

If you’re looking for authentic Haitian comfort food, Caribeyond is worth a visit!“

“Came here to celebrate my 40th bday brunch . My 1st time here and the vibe was good, food was a 8/10 reasonably priced and nice portions. My server Brian or Byron (AA/medium build brown skin guy)I believe ..was super helpful attentive & friendly. We decided to check out the rooftop lounge after brunch and we turned around it was scorching hot maybe evening would be better or more shade /outdoor fan! Overall nice spot and FREE parking a major plus for the downtown area. Oh they even gave a free birthday dessert and sang a lil tune.lol“
