50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hanover

“Great place! Welcoming and friendly. The seafood pancakes are delicious.“

“Great food and great drink. Service was awesome“

“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.“

“Steve, you are an absolute legend and godsend. This place is top priority on our visits. We were so lucky the first time in Fell's Point to have two women tell us "you NEED to go down there and have a drink." Best advice ever given. Steve even remembered me months after our first trip. Don't get upset with how long it takes for your drink to get made. Absolute perfection and well worth the time and money. Old fashioned and whiskey sours go down so smooth. Any time we travel there... "Let's go see Steve!" Keep him there. He makes that place.“

“Loved brunch here!! Great Bloody Mary, which is hard to find. Good Irish coffee. The cinnamon roll donut is worth every calorie, don’t even think about not getting it! The atmosphere and restaurant are gorgeous! Will definitely come back!“

“Good peoples :) Great location.“

“This is good bar in the ulysses Hotel. Every time I’ve come, it’s been near empty which is a bummer because the drinks are drunk and the food is good.

Being that it is not very packed, that affects the atmosphere which means you have the bring the energy you want to have in this bar. The music is low, the lighting is very comfortable but I can’t say it’s a very “fun” bar. It’s a good bar in a very nice hotel. The bartender is great!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere Tasty cocktails Nice people“

“Fantastic experience twice in 3 weeks.

September 15th, 2024
I visited this establishment w friends and family.
We were assisted by Abby who had an awesome, bubbly, and kind personality.
We ordered quite a few items.
As far as beverages, we ordered Tree of Life, Secret Handshake, and Bohemian Grove. There was a 4th beverage that Abby made for my gf that wasn't on the menu, yet was perfect for her. She loved it.
All 4 beverages were well crafted with care, and perfect.

October 4th, 2024 Celebratory Outing w Hubby
I visited this establishment w Hubby.
I really wanted him to try one of their crafted Cocktails.
It was soooo cold in this establishment that we requested 2 Hot Toddy's instead.
Selina was a great bar tender to us. She quickly assisted w our beverages, and made them perfectly. She checked back in on us to make sure we were satisfied, and maintained professional pleasantries.

At some point, the temperature was regulated. We were happy!! It allowed us to stay a little longer and maximize our experience.

I look forward to returning in the near future.“

“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!“

“This was by far the BEST seafood in the area. Food was delicious, service was superb, staff very friendly. Shuttle service right on point! Overall experience 10/10 in all areas. I definitely will be back and telling everyone looking for great seafood and experience! Thank you!“

“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!“

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

“Food was bomb and the service was on point“

“Arguably one of the BEST restaurants in Baltimore! The food is absolutely delicious! And the prices are reasonable for the quality. I have eaten here several times and have yet to have a bad experience. Definitely a city staple that I hope stays for a loooong time!“

“We went to Indigma this evening for restaurant week. The food was fantastic and my nine-year-old loved everything! She gave it a 1523/10 rating! Though everything was excellent, the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. Thank you for a fantastic meal!“

“if you have any time on your hands and you down that area I highly recommend it it's a good affordable place to eat at“

“Superb, distinctive cocktails and dishes - everything feels original and interesting and delicious. My new favorite place in Baltimore, and we have been to all the best. I'm veg and there is always something amazing; same for my omnivore husband.“

“We are absolutely astonished with the environment and food! The service was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this place!“

“Absolute best meal I have ever had I any restaurant! Make sure you call ahead. It is so good it will be hard to get into!“

“My large group had a great time! The manager on duty accommodated us well. The server was great at communicating, and she got everything right for everyone. The food came out exactly as everyone ordered. The music was definitely “cookout vibes”. Overall a great time!“

“Best vibe in the City every Saturday!“

“Good food, good beer, good atmosphere“

“The atmosphere is friendly and lively. the cocktails were interesting, and may have even converted my gin-hating husband. The bartenders, Ted especially, really rounded out the experience. one of the best places in the city!!!!!“

“We went during Baltimore Restaurant week. It was our first time there but not the last. The food was so good. Our server, Dominique, was very professional and provided recommendations which were on point. We got to meet Chef Amy, which was a nice surprise.“

“Brunch Was Awesome Today. The Deviled Eggs Were Awesome. Thank You to My Cousin for Recommending Me to This Awesome Place in Fells Point“

“Cloud Shrimp - Juicy shrimp fried in potato starch, served w Kimchi-kewpie Mayo“

“Food was delicious! I would have taken a picture but I ate it too fast. The flavors were all so bold and fresh. Will definitely be back!“

“1st time eating here, and LOVED it!! Fantastic staff, great food and delicious drinks!! Would highly recommend!!“

“Enjoyed dinner at the bar earlier tonight at Chilango’s. Delicious Jalapeño Margarita. The shrimp on on bruschetta were also amazing. Just moved into the neighborhood and will be back to try some more menu items.“

“First time here, seems a little small but that’s alright. Music was a little loud, had a small child with disabilities who immediately covered his ears. Staff caught it and music was turned down without asking. Big points! Here comes the chips & salsa. Hit the spot just right, nice little bite. Received our menus and what an extensive selection. We studied it for a while placed orders. Tried the queso w/ jalapeño, good but I like my other place. Anyway here comes our meals, great presentation, and nice portions. Of course I like larger portions and the wife likes smaller portions, so we have take home too! The food is terrific and believe I may have I found my new favorite! Definitely will be back. Hopefully they may expand in the near future.“

“I visited Judy's Island off the recommendation of @A.I Brown. The restaurant had a nice vibe, the staff was very pleasant and accommodating, and the food was good!! I had the jerk chicken and my husband had jerk lambchops. Both were good...and we would visit again!“

“Been here like 5 times since they’ve opened. Carbonara, and duck confit pizza are go to’s. Never had a bad experience. Brett, dom, and Jontell, along with their great staff and brand can certainly run a tight ship. 30/10, will recommend every time.“

“Nice service, and my table was ready in accordance with my reservation time (not always the case with certain places).

The ambiance steals the show. Great vibes for a business or casual conversation, that’s not centered exclusively around dining.

For a bottle of sparkling water, a cocktail, and a mocktail, I paid $40 before tip.

The cocktail I got tasted like medicine a little bit. The one with vodka that’s $14. I had to add my sparkling water to make it palatable. The mocktail was cool, not sweet and not super memorable.

The cocktail my friends got, though, was SO good. It was green in color and had froth. Get that for sure. Moderate street parking.“

“This hidden gem is so a cozy, cool, sexy place with amazing staff & owner. We feel like family here . We luv to karaoke and enjoy the atmosphere . Check it out you may fall in with the place too“

“Dude, this place smacks. Super welcoming vibe, great prices, great drinks, and even greater service. The owner and the bartender were a pleasure to hang out with and they make sure to immediately give water to every patron and top you off constantly, which shows they care. Absolutely love their dressed beers selection - I usually order a dressed beer of some sort and never see it listed on paper. I cannot stress how good a Spaghett is - it's my go-to, please try it. As DnD nerds we had to do the Critical Roll. We meant to just stop by for a nightcap after dinner but ended up staying and watching movies and bantering with the gracious hosts for many rounds. I wish I wasn't a tourist because I'd make this my regular haunt if I lived here.“

“Just simply fantastic! Cool vibe & excellent bartender Erin. She gave us an amazing history of the bar and the Grand Mariner club. This is a “must see” destination when visiting Baltimore.“

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

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

“Absolutely loved my experience at The Coral Wig Bar in Baltimore—a must-visit spot! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a fun night out. I had the pleasure of trying their Cane’s Old Fashioned, Estate Martini, and Pray for Rain cocktails, and each one was expertly crafted and full of unique flavors. The bartender is clearly passionate about the craft, paying attention to every detail to make each drink an experience on its own. Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic place to unwind, The Coral Wig Bar is a gem you won’t want to miss. Highly recommended!“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“The food and staff were amazing!“

“Attended a party last Saturday her and everything was great! The food, service and atmosphere was amazing! A great time was had by all. A very special thank you to Danyelle, her amazingly efficient service and fun personality made the party from good to great!“

“Locals Only is a Baltimore gem. This place has been my #1 go to for a good night out, getting casual drinks, or grabbing some lunch with friends. They have amazing food! My fav is their brick oven pizza and the famous ever- changing “pasta Wednesdays” specials. They have an awesome happy hour menu that actually has affordable items. They also host a lot of different events during the week. It’s a great way to get out of the house and meet people, especially if you are new to the city! The staff, food, and atmosphere is definitely a 10/10!“

“My favorite bar in Baltimore - great food, drinks, and dancing. I always meet really interesting people and love the vibe.“

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

“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.“

“We stopped by this place today for a late breakfast. It was my first time coming to this restaurant and I have to say I was impressed. Every employee we talked to was kind and welcoming which is always nice. The restaurant itself is also beautifully decorated. I didn't grab any pictures of the interior because it was a bit crowded but it somehow has a hybrid energy between a fancy restaurant and a casual breakfast spot, its a good combo.

Now about the food, I have a ton of dietary restrictions/allergies and had to ask a bunch of questions to make sure my food would be safe. The staff, particularly our waitress Airiti was amazing with this and made sure my food was safe for me.

I ended up getting a Gf pancake, eggs, and gf toast. I was surprised to find that the toast wasn't dry (if you're gf yk) and the pancake was actually pretty flavorful and sweet, the butter unfortunately had soy in it so instead I got powder sugar on mine but it was delicious. They even had the option to get 100% Maple Syrup which was great since pancake syrup can have soy in it sometimes.

My partner got the "bit of everything" plate and they enjoyed all of their food as well. We didn't get the names of the other employees who helped us but everyone was so nice and we are definitely coming back.

Dietary restrictions: This restaurant does have GF options and will accommodate for allergies. I'm unsure if this restaurant is celiac safe but if you aren't celiac and just react to gluten this place will be fine.

I have a soy allergy they were able to accommodate and they did so without any issues.

Kid-friendliness: I'm not totally sure on this but I did see multiple families with older children, like 5-10yrs and they seemed to be fine.

Wheelchair accessibility: There aren't any stairs to get into the restaurant other than that I'm unsure but I will check next time I'm there.“
