50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hanover

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

“Great food and great drink. Service was awesome“

“The fish was amazing and the jazz room is the perfect vibe for a first date or a cocktail with best friend! Absolutely loved it“

“I heard the stories about this place and it had been closed for a couple of years as the hotel it's in underwent renovation and ownership changes but it's back open and I couldn't be happier.

Steve the bartender is currently a one man show and we were there on the weekend it reopened and he was so happy to be back in his happy place. The man is a cocktail maven who loves his craft and what he does and his customers as well.

There is currently no menu here you ask for what you want or can tell Steve what you are in the mood for and he will make something amazing!

I got a smoked old fashioned that he smokes with his own blend of wood and spices and it was easily in the Top 5 of best old fashioneds I've ever had.

If you are in Fells Point looking for a cocktail and Anchor Tavern is open make sure you visit!“

“WE ARE REGULAR DINERS AT THE COPPER SHARK AND AS USUAL WE ALL ENJOYED AN EXCELLENT MEAL WITH THE TYPICALLY WELL PREPARED SIDES. OUR SERVER WAS JULIA AND WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH HER ATTENTIVENESS THROUGHOUT THE MEAL, CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT EACH COURSE AND HER VERY FRIENDLY APPROACH TO ENSURING OUR DINING EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT FROM START TO END.“

“If you want great food, great service, and a great atmosphere, Order of The Ace is where you want to go. The cocktails were superb, the appetizers were great, the main course was perfect. Do not skip the dessert menu. I almost did and would have missed the lemon meringue cheesecake. It was absolutely delicious. We will be back for sure. The live jazz was the cherry on top.“

“We were a little surprised to start the evening by ringing a doorbell to get in, but the warm welcome that followed put us at ease right away. The atmosphere is fantastically unique, quirky, and full of character. The bartenders were genuinely friendly and the service was quick.

We ordered the Mac ’n’ Cheese with Jerk Chicken, Yuca Bites, Chorizo con Arroz y Gandules and the Cinnamon Mini Donuts. Everything was perfectly seasoned (especially great if you enjoy a bit of heat like we do). The only downside was that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side.

It also looks like they host a lot of interesting events like book readings, sip-and-paints, comedy shows and more. We didn’t get a chance to attend one this time, but it definitely added to the charm and made us want to come back.“

“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!“

“This has by far been my best experience at any hotel bar. This staff is amazing but I’ll start with Adelleke. She was so welcoming and warm and was a subject matter expert in directing to me to a classy Baltimore experience. She made some amazing drinks and some great suggestions for food in the area. I will be staying at this hotel every time I’m in Baltimore. Thank you Adelleke!!!!“

“Excellent food. I got the lamb shank which was very tender and flavorful. Our group tried almost all the appetizers and they were all good. I am picky with my steak tartare but theirs was also good and well-flavored. Highly recommend this place.“

“Fantastic evening at One- Eyed Mike's recently. Our server, Eugene, was top- notch, as was the food and beverage!“

“Drinks were good, the ambience was very romantic

I wish the music was slightly quieter, the bar was empty when we entered but it was still hard to hear each other well

We came around 7:30pm on a Thursday and only a few people were there but by 9:30 it was bumpin, no more seats available“

“Went for the first time on Mon 9/30/25. I was so dang hungry for Tacos. Some lady at the Drs I was at told me about the place, so off I went for lunch by myself. Was kinda scared cause no one was there but me. Walked in and the place was very nice and clean from what I saw. Ordered Tacos and Burrito, both were freaking awesome!!! Place - Clean + Pretty inside Food - AWESOME and hit the spot Service - Awesome, and helped when I had questions. Waiter - Was so very nice.. Portions - Were huge. Tacos were pretty much normal size but the Burrito was huge with some yummy cheese sauce. Bathroom - Ladies room was clean and tidy. Parking - Easy and lots of spots. Well that's all I can think of for now. Worth it: Hell yes!!! Great food, great people and AWESOME service!! Price - $$$ But it is worth the money. I would rather pay a bit extra and get great and large portions of food than spend $80.00 on Burger King that my family wanted the other day. I used to love Burger King but it was all dried out and the burgers tasted weird. Plus, one of the Whopper w/cheese meals was $18.00+. Paid $$$$ for a Bacon Cheese whopper and got a small arse Whopper Jr., no bacon, no cheese and not much meat. Then you can not get thru the automated 💩 to see if you can get the correct order. So paying a bit more for incredible food is worth it. MORE PEOPLE SHOULD EAT HERE AND SPREAD THE WORD SO THIS BUSINESS GETS BUSY AND STAYS OPEN!! Thank you Super Taco for making my lonely lunch super cool. Complaint: Need more dirt soda varieties for us Diabetics who hate Diet Pepsi, it tastes like floor cleaner. 😁 Any errors in grammar. I'm writing this on the run so put on your big girl panties and deal with it. 🙄“

“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!!!!!“

“The service was phenomenal. We were there for my sis in laws 50th Birthday (came in from Columbus,Oh and they treated her amazingly. Our server was great managing staff amazing.“

“The Backyard is the best neighborhood bar in Baltimore. Expertly curated wine and spirit list, knowledgeable and friendly staff with amazing food and cocktails that are all very reasonably priced. It is am absolute hidden gem!“

“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.“

“Doug is the best. This is our favorite neighborhood spot. Cocktails are on point, wine selection is simple but good and reasonably priced, and the smash burgers are f-ing fire 🔥 and we love Doug’s company, and Kirsten’s, and all of his staff. We love Southpaw!“

“So I went to blooms on a slow Saturday night. Inside is super nice, & I do love the vintage 70s aesthetic of it all. Idk if they take reservations, but I just walked in &. A hostess sat me down. The velvet couches are a nice touch, though they aren't the most comfortable IMO. It's small, can probably hold about 50 ppl total. But for it to be a slow night, the service was even slower, surprisingly. Getting my waiter's attention felt like the hunger games :( she served me and would disappear for 30 minutes. It took nearly another 30 minutes just to get the check after I asked. I'd go back, but I wouldn't get a table. I'd just stand at the bar, where the service seems quicker. My drinks were very good! On the pricey side but that's to be expected with cocktail bars these days.“

“I wasn't prepared for how outstanding the food was. Seriously. I ordered takeout and went with what the keywords were: Brussel sprouts and Cheesesteak. The portions were ample. The fries were hot and hearty, and the cheesesteak was delicious. Not messy but juicy- terrific toasted roll. BUT WAIT!!! The brussel sprouts were the best - THE. BEST.- I have ever tasted. They were roasted to perfection and they were solidly baked through! They retained every ounce of heat and were a solid treat as they were. OMG THE SAUCE! The spicy sauce on the sprouts were an explosion of taste. Phenomenal! First time there and I will be back.“

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

“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.“

“Great bartender Zack with crazy skills on cocktails.“

“This is a great space for private parties, with a separate area in the private lounge with pool and ping pong tables. Savannah was wonderful, handling orders from multiple people while making sure food ended up on one tab and drinks on another, and frequently checking in with us despite a busy bar. Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks, and if I was local to Baltimore, it would definitely be a regular meet-up spot for me!“

“Picked up a delicious dinner tonight - the shrimp tacos are amazing! Everything is incredibly fresh! Can't wait to go back and dine in person.“

“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 enjoyed a perfect evening for my son's rehearsal dinner! Blackwall Barn and Lodge is a great place to hold any event! Danny and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The food was beyond amazing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the restaurant/Lodge to anyone. Love the atmosphere.“

“great location and cool atmosphere..great food and a good local bar bartender Hallie is as nice as they come..I used to go to that spot before it's changed to Papis and I hope that they can make it work and appreciate the local support that really loves the vibe of old skool fells point local love of their faithful patrons who continue to support yall..“

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

“I had the watermelon salad and the cajun lobster bites. Absolutely delish! Full of flavor. The sangria was good too! 10/10!“

“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!“
