Best Cocktail Bars in East Baltimore

We had a wonderful first experience! Joshua was an amazing server. Please pass along our positive feedback on his attentiveness and updates when the food was delayed. The food was delicious and well-priced. Our only negative feedback points are the noise level was very loud and our table was in the corner squeezed behind another table.

The server was relentlessly annoyed with us, a buser tried to clear plates that we were eating off of, and the host reminded us (and the table next to us) that there were reservations waiting. I’m sorry that I inconvenienced the staff by decided that my wife I should have our anniversary dinner here.

Wonderful spot to enjoy a great cocktail, music, and a light bite.

Everything was terrific! Joya was AMAZINGGGG! So sweet, so attentive, very accommodating. The table right in view of the water was great. Everyone was super nice and I loved everything I ate. Half off the bottle of wine was STELLAR!! I will definately be back. Great first visit. Thank you !!

A Hidden Gem in Baltimore's Speakeasy Scene I recently had the pleasure of visiting Top Shelf, a true hidden gem in Baltimore's speakeasy world. Despite not being able to indulge in alcohol during the month of January, I decided to treat my daughter for her birthday and we were not disappointed. Located inside the Game On Bar Arcade, Top Shelf offers an authentic speakeasy experience that is perfect for aficionados and newcomers alike. The cocktail selection was top-notch. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her French 75, while her boyfriend savored his old-fashioned. As for myself, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and creativity of the non-alcoholic honeycomb drink I ordered. The service was impeccable, with the mixologist demonstrating a deep knowledge of her craft and a genuine passion for mixology. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it the perfect spot to unwind and savor expertly crafted drinks. Overall, Top Shelf is a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Baltimore's vibrant speakeasy culture. Whether you're a seasoned speakeasy enthusiast or simply looking to explore a new experience, this establishment is sure to impress.
