48 Best Cocktail Bars near Hanover

“Fabulous. Went here based on others reviews and boy oh boy I certainly was not disappointed. Probably one of the best Korean restaurants I have been to-- great ambience along with top notch service and spectacular food! Looking forward to returning to try out other dishes!“

“Great food, atmosphere and service. Had dinner here with my wife one evening and we were very pleased with this food establishment. I had the Wet Burrito w/ Steak, Black Beans & Rice and Plantains. All were delicious. The serving staff was friendly and accommodating and the place was very lively.“

“My date and I checked out this lounge and their drinks were tasty.We first had the Fue Mejor and Jungle Bird for the first round. The tall Jungle Bird wasn't bad while the Fue Mejor had that sweet and smoky taste.The second batch we tried was the French Martini and the Midouri Sour. These batch of drinks were our favorite. The French Martini had an elegant finish on top of their drink while the Midouri Sour was a great sweet and sour combination.Definitely check out this intimate lounge and make sure to have a reservation before going. Definitely worth to check out.“

“The service and food was absolutely amazing! I drove in from Buffalo NY to watch the ravens beat chiefs. While that didn’t happen the one bright spot was deciding to give Angie’s a try. The food was absolutely amazing! The crab dip, the crab cakes, my 16oz ribeye smothered in the most perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp, fresh crab meat. It was phenomenal. I can’t remember his name but the guy waiter we had as well was a cool guy. He walked around when he had a minute and had conversations with all the customers so I left an extra tip. Next season when I’m back in town I will be paying them a visit again!“

“This review is for 18th & 21st, which is by reservation only. It gives off an upscale "Love Jones" type vibe if you understand the reference. Perfect date night spot with how it's set up and the live music. The staff were fantastic and their food and drink recommendations were on point. Definitely a spot to check out.“

“We stopped by on a recent Saturday eve, foolishly hadn’t made reservations, and the place was packed. The awesome Host that night was kind enough to take pity & got us a table within oh, 15 minutes or less, and apologized to us for the “wait!” Food was fantastic (Bauernwurst & Falafel and of course potato pancakes) and the beers matched the food. Our server was great as well, for a busy night we never had to flag her down for refills or anything else’s. Cant wait to go back & try some other dishes!“

“Dutch Courage was a wonderful bar. When there for a girl's night and the drinks were delicious. I had the brussel sprouts which were mostly ok but the environment was wonderful.The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it was not that wheelchair friendly. I went with my mother who's in a wheelchair and I know she couldn't have gone by herself. The wheelchair accessibility is through a gate in the back that can only be accessed if you go up the stairs and ask them to open the gate. Maybe even a sign would be helpful. To be fair, if you call ahead they probably could have someone waiting for you.There is also a small step to get to the bathroom that my mom's wheelchair couldn't pass through. A server held the door while I helped my mom stand up to move the wheel chair into the bathroom. I hope that they become aware of some small changes they can make to make it easier for wheelchairs to get to the bathroom easier. I will definitely say he customer service was impeccable. All the servers were so friendly. I would definitely go back.“

“The horchata was delicious! It was really welcoming to have a non-alcoholic option that is not just soda & juice.Pirogies were to die for! Perfect consistency, well stuffed and the toppings matched & brought out the savory flavors. They are huge and don’t need the added kraut & sausage unless you are really hungry or they are your whole meal.Serbian Pancakes reminded me of a savory yet still sweet cheese filled crape. Very light & delicate.Pizza is thin crust style. Comes out extremely hot. I think it needed a bit more tomato sauce. Make sure to ask for their daily special pizza as they only have 5 on the menu, none of which are veggie topped.Bar staff are extremely kind and sweet.“

“Literally the best Naan I've ever had in my life. And it's literally just garlic Naan but it's done so well and when you can do the simple things you KNOW the rest is going to be phenomenal. Chicken Korma was no exception. Delicious. Mango Lassi was super refreshing and tasted homemade too!The employees here are so freaking nice too!!Definitely come here if you want a chill Indian spot if you're not a local and wanna people watch with great food. (They also had a full bar and all the drinks I saw made looked really good, but I didn't have any)“

“Steve is the most amazing bartender. Look at the definition of 10,000 hours to master a discipline, for cocktail making Steve has done that. 17 years of experience, you are assured to get the most amazing cocktail from homegrown herbs in the smoked old fashioned to the fabulous French 75, to the expresso martini you can’t go “

“I'm part of the Rodney Kelley Experience ...I bring different people to the establishment...we THOROUGHLY enjoy the lounge ..the service and the food. We hope you enjoy the entertainment on the first Sunday of each month ????❤️??? (Nae G)“

“It's taken me too long to check out Bunny's!!!! Everything about this place is a VIBE. I loved the decor and the colors - there's so much to look at and even read in the restroom! The waiter we had was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us navigate all the best drinks and food items to match what we wanted. I came here specifically for the Mac & cheese which was delicious. The 2 cocktails we got- Good Morning Baltimore and the Jessica Rabbit were delish. We wanna come back to try their bananas foster espresso martini. The waffle fries were sooooo underrated- they were crisp and flavorful! The unicorn hush puppies with honey butter were also so yummy. Can't wait to come back and try all the drinks and other menu items, especially for brunch! We were too full for dessert but the cinnamon roll sounds incredible.“

“One of the best meals we've had in Baltimore. The ambiance was amazing, and our server was welcoming and explained all the options. The sangria was delicious. We ordered the Celebration of The Tropics which was truly authentic and wanted to drink the sauce on the plate that was leftover! The octopus was so perfectly cooked, and we finished with the Black Tie Party which was so Unique and delicious. Highly recommend“

“If you are looking for a place to get an incredible cocktail, look no further. Everything about Southpaw exudes elegance and knowledge. It's not flashy but a lot of the time flash is just a way to cover up shortcomings. Southpaw has no shortcomings. The owner is always there and working diligently to provide the best experience possible. If you are passionate about your drinks, go to Southpaw!“

“This restaurant offers a variety of options that cater to most taste buds. The food is reasonably priced and service is good. I came here to celebrate a family member’s birthday and the service was excellent. Our server, Brenden, made some great recommendations and ensured our food came out on time. We ordered the dumplings, chicken steam bun, cloud shrimp and fried chicken (Karaage) as appetizers. All were very great. We also ordered the Taipei Curry Chicken ramen, Brontosaurus bowl, Brussels & Squash, shrimp and pork belly steam buns as our entrees; all were filling and delicious. I think the curry chicken ramen could use more depth flavors; I added chili oil and mushrooms which were good additions. I also wish the chicken in the ramen was different than the chicken thighs offered as an appetizer. It made me feel like I was eating the same protein for my appetizer and entree.They have a nice drink menu; we all ordered the Last Samurai; which was tasty. I wish it came in a larger glass.I was disappointed they ran out of the miso cooking dessert but I’m looking forward to returning to try it. All in all; I would return. It’s a nice and cozy spot. They have an area where you can sit and watch the kitchen make the food as you dine.Parking: Parking can be scarce during busy times but there is street parking“

“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.“

“Dylan’s is Baltimore’s best oyster spot. The oyster selection is spot on, with representation for the best regions (PEI, Maine, Massachusetts, Washington state). There’s one oyster on the menu that’s particularly excellent: West Robins from New York.“

“Where to start with this gem?! First off....everything from the moment we stepped in the front door was on point. Host knew our name and had reserved table ready and waiting. Great intimate atmosphere in both bar and dining room. Cocktails were excellent....best Manhattan on this trip thus far. Menu is manageable and clearly based on fresh, in season components. From the Susan's Shrimp appetizer...to the Maryland Crab Soup, perfect starters. Then an entree of Maryland crab cakes with roasted Brussel sprouts and slaw, accompanied by in house tartar, well played pairing. The other “off menu” entree offering was pan grilled red snapper topped with lump crab and velvety beure blanc sauce with roasted root vegetables.....heaven! Finished off with a house grand marnier creme brûlée....NO words! Chef Akbar has outdone himself and still takes the time to check on his patrons table-side should you request, as I did. Do yourself a favor and book dinner here!!! #cheers“

“My go-to place. Vikki and Dan are fantastic bartenders that can make delicious cocktails – just say what you’re in the mood for and they’ll whip up something you’ll enjoy. Definitely try something from the expansive tinned fish selection if you want something to eat on the lighter side. Also, the Detroit-style pizza is quite good (and this is coming from someone raised in southeast Michigan).“

“We ate here last year and it was really amazingThe Copper Burger is mouth watering heaven, lolThe staff here was really awesome sauce as wellWe really enjoyed our time here and we will most definitely stop here again if we are ever in Baltimore in the future“

“10/10 would recommend! This is such a cute restaurant in an adorable neighborhood in Baltimore. The atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. The food was delicious and menu was different - had the best pig ears I've ever had! The coolest thing is the menu is rotating so you'll want to come back!“

“Pauline is the best bar owner in Baltimore. (Also owns "Kenwood Tavern"). JR has an impeccable passion for mixology, bar atmosphere, and menu originality. The cocktails are innovative and refreshing. For a moment it feels like you're in Maui. You won't find another Tiki bar in Baltimore. "Fog Surfing" is the best cocktail. If you are hungry, go for the burger. If you are vegan, try the Zaatar sandwich. Enjoy the Polynesian experience! Mahalo.Vegetarian options: Zaatar sandwich,“

“First timer! Easy reservation process. Wasn't crowded at all. The crab egg rolls were very good. As well as the wings. I didn't order any drinks. I did, however, order the gumbo. To me, it was too salty and not enough rice. The entrée was plentiful. I had enough to take home. Super friendly staff that served my table. Food came out extremely fast. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Parking can be sketchy but the restaurant was worth it. I'd go back to try another entrée and get some drinks.“

“Jacob D was absolutely the best waiter we could have had! He went above and beyond to make sure we all were happy and satisfied. We will definitely ask for him when we come back!Vegetarian options: Vegan menuKid-friendliness: Our waiter made our infant feel right at home“

“We stopped by for drinks, the bouncer Kevin is very nice and personable. When we entered there was a DJ. The bar area is quite small but there is a larger area in the back. The drinks are reasonably priced. The staff is friendly. It is quite dark and hard to see the menus or get the servers/bartenders attention. It was also quite loud for it being a sit down bar. It was tough to hear my friends sitting next to me.“

“Well...I heard rumors about the Super Taco Oaxaca and I am sitting in the restaurant as I am creating this post. I will start that this place is the real deal. My goodness! So much flavor in every bite.Parking: There is plenty of free parking.“

“A new spot that we’ve been trying to go here since it opened. Very “Octo” themed and has the decor to go with it. It has a nice bar downstairs with tables in the back. Walk upstairs and you’ll find a quaint room with more tables and a very nice separate bar for private parties or as an additional bar. Everything we tasted was great and the presentation was a delight to the eyes. You have to try the octopus ceviche and the ostrich tartar. The drinks were very tasty as well and everything was adequately priced. We’re going to add this spot to our dinner outing rotation and bring our supper club members. Definitely the best spot we’ve been to in the past year.“

“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.“

“My evening at B-Side was incredible! The bartenders, Hamza and Aeon, were courteous, professional, and beyond personable. I would especially love to highlight Hamza's skills as my drinks were quite delicious! The truffle fries absolutely hit the spot I was craving after a few drinks. I am so glad to have found this hidden gem in my neighborhood and would gladly recommend anyone to come here for a remarkable experience!!“

“Ellicott Distilling Co. is a nice little bar that has a small inside and also a decently-sized outdoor patio on the hills. They have a solid menu of cocktails, as well as some fantastically-named game and movie themed ones. All drinks tasted good, and we had some small appetizers that were fine. This place is worth checking out if you're in town and want to get a cocktail! They also have many events, so check out their lineup to see if anything is of interest (e.g., make your own infused vodka lesson).“

“The cocktails from here are unique and delicious. The future ball is my favorite. I have tried all of the short rib food dishes and they are all fantastic. Bonus points that they have a seasonal cocktail menu meaning you can get something different every time you go.“

“This place is amazing. I really liked the atmosphere of a speak easy bar. Long secret staircase up to a top level ritzy dim lit room with greenery and chandeliers everywhere. The drinks were fancy and delicious and the happy hour appetizers were unbelievably delicious and came out super quick! I liked them so much I ended up getting a full meal too! Definitely want to bring my friends back here!Update: bar menu changed and both the temporary madness (dirty gin martini) and the beautiful one (coconut tropical nutty) were undrinkable. So disgusting. Honestly and I don’t like to waste alcohol and consider myself not picky at all. Horrible and embarrassed I took my friends here. The espresso martini was Okay.“

“First time eating here and it didn’t disappoint. The inside is very small, maybe 10 tables plus 5 seats at bar. Colorfully decorated in Dia De Los Muertos sugar skulls. There’s no room to wait inside. Staff takes your contact info but a text when a table is ready. We were seated within 5 min. Menu had lots of choices from tacos to burritos. Staff was fast and accurate. Chips and salsa for the table. Portions were large. Red, green and yellow peppers in fajitas. We’ll visit again.“

“My gf took me out on Saturday evening and the food was really good. We had amazing service as well. We ordered the southwest chili tots and the cornbread as appetizers. Those chili tots! Off the chain. For our food: I had the weekly special blackened salmon with risotto & veggies. My gf had the prime rib dip sandwich. She said it was bomb! The meat was tender.we also got drinks and they will definitely have you lit. The scenery was even nice, chill vibes :)“

“The chili old bay wings are amazing and they taste just like Korean fried chicken. The kfc buns were good as well, but AVOID THE MAC AND CHEESE. Tastes just like it came out of a store box to be honest. Completely threw me off. The drinks were pretty good and the happy hourPrices are good as well.“

“Had an awesome time on a Sunday. The place is really nice and kid friendly. We played uno, darts, Mario kart as a family while Mom and Dad enjoyed the bar and enjoyed the live music. The kids had chips and juice as well. We ordered from the food truck and the wings and burgers were worth the wait. Really really good! The calamari was just ok. We enjoyed the gin options the most. I truly wish you all so much success.“

“Quaint little "speakeasy" just a few blocks from the Inner Harbor, good for pub food. There are wall clocks everywhere and they are indeed correct twice each day. My mushroom cheddar burger was pretty good and the Parmesan fries were tasty. My husband's fried chicken sammy was tasty too. Waitress/bartender was friendly and efficient. Good service. Good food. Nothing epic. Just good pub food and a cute concept. Better than the area chains if you're looking for something local and reliable.“

“I've walked past Martini Bar a ton of times but never stopped for a drink. I finally stopped by for a drink when I was flying out of BWI last month. My martini (I went with a classic dirty vodka martini, but they have a full menu of martinis and other cocktails) was good, and I really loved all of outlets for charging. The service was really good, and it was a great place to have a cocktail (or did I have two?) and do a little work or reading while waiting for a flight.“

“I really want to commend Dialo and Gavin who are great employees with great customer service skills. This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. I especially want to commend Naisha, their manager, because you’re only as good as your leader. Great experience overall.“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent buy a day there, and I had a great moment. 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. ?Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.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.?Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“Y’all! I had the pleasure of going to 9Five Kitchen & Bar Friday, March 29, 2024. When I tell you this place did not miss a thing, I mean it. Location is easy to find, parking is plentiful, the staff are friendly and professional, the food is unforgettable and downright GOOD, and best of all, it is spotless! The bathrooms have seat covers with little mats in each stall. I think they check every hour because at no point did I find a messy bathroom. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and gave them their flowers. I will definitely return and tell others, as well. They have earned our support!!!“

“I stopped in for a quick breakfast and to my delight this crab Benedict did not disappoint! As you can see lump crab was plentiful & the flavor brought it home! I paid only $20 for this yummy goodness. You definitely need to go get you some. I recommend highly!“

“Old Major is a rare and precious gem. The ladies who run the operation are so gracious and thoughtful! Everyone is made to feel welcome; and appreciated. The food is amazing, and the drink selection is huge! Old Major provides the kind of hospitality that used to be practiced more widely, but now is found only in the most special places. I feel fortunate to have found this amazing night spot!“

“This place is a hidden gem. My wife and I got to the airport wayyyyy to early (3 hours too early). While looking for a place to eat we stumbled upon Sky Azure. This place has an amazing view, comfortable seating, good drink and beer selection and is very inviting. Christopher greeted us, helped us get settled and poured some great cocktails. I might just have to arrive too early more often. ?“

“My first time here i met both of the owners they greeted me at the door. Food came out fast and it was delicious i had the Rasta Pasta and for appetizer the Honey old bay wings. The ambience and music is definitely on point me and my guest can’t wait to come back and I’m glad it’s here in Glen Burnie.“

“Went for dinner here for the first time and it was DELICIOUS! We got some roasted vegs, The Goat, and a classic pepperoni pizza. We were most pleased and left with pleasantly full bellies. The food was fab and the service was excellent! A perfect night out with family. We recommend this place full stop!“

“The bartender Shanna was amazing. We are from out of town. We went there Wednesday night and liked it so much we went back Thursday night. She remembered what we drank from the night before. Her daughter is a waitress and was very kind and fun to talk to.“
