The service was nice, the bartender served me, he was a absolute sweetheart, the Ambiance was lovely, felt like I was sitting in a tavern I can only imagine how cozy it is on a Saturday/Friday night! And the food was great!! I tore up the brussel sprouts I recommend them, ALittle salty but I still tore it up! 10/10 would come back, lemonade has free refills! read more

Elias was seemingly the only one working and he took great care of us even with a full bar! The place was packed. Apparently it was a member party that trickled over into the public space. Even though we had made a reservation, there wasn't a hostess to greet us and confirm it once we arrived. Elias came from behind the bar, cleared a table, and seated us. The drinks were spirit forward which we both love and balanced. I didn't look at the menu beforehand so I just assumed bar fare. Was surprised to find crabcakes and salmon on the menu. Both were yummy but the brussel sprouts stole the show! read more

CLOCK Restoration Kitchen & Bar - Crabcakes - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The outside of a downtown office building says QG. Clock Restoration is located on the 6th floor. You even need a special code for the elevator. The elevator opens into a beautiful space filled with clocks. There is also a bar and tables. We only had espresso martinis but the "Clocktails" menu looks fabulous, including seasonal drinks. Our food was really good and they did not skimp on the portions. The bartender was friendly and the chef came out to make sure we enjoyed our food. I look forward to going back. Tip: You can park on the nearby garage and get a discount code from the bartender if you can't find street parking. read more

I really wanted to like this spot, but the food missed the mark. The bartender/server was awesome. He made a really well-balanced seasonal cocktail and acknowledged when their were food delays. Our wings were so fried, they were dry. The ceviche was missing lime and poorly constructed. The crab cakes were super soft, but had good flavor. I would order the brussle sprouts again, but that's it. The industrial, speakeasy, clubhouse vibe was cool. It's a theme I haven't seen done as well before. One thing about the design I didn't care for was the pew bench. My date and I were seated near a guy that kept tapping his leg on the ground. That shaking reverberated throughout the bench during most of our dinner. I'd probably only come back for cocktails in the future. read more

I really wanted to like the food more here. It seemed like all of the Yelp reviews pointed in that direction but it wasn't to be. It's a fun place to find, hid up on the 6th floor and was a warm inviting bar with a ping pong table, shuffleboard and plenty of space. This review is only for the food and not the bar or space. It looks like a really fun place to go with friends for a night out. Service was on point and very friendly. The food just didn't hit the mark especially at the price point. 3 of us got the original chicken sandwich and at $17 I would expect much more. Mine was mostly breading and the other two had more chicken but felt it still didn't hit the flavor point. Also, had the Philly cheese within our group and it was relayed as average. It was such a cool space, that if I lived nearby I would give them a second chance. read more

Love the speak easy concept where you have to punch a secret code on a pad in the elevator to make it to the 6th floor location. The cocktail was great. The sandwich ended up being messy. It was definitely a lot of chicken for a sandwich. I had asked for old bay to be added but I couldn't taste it if it was there. The fries were okay. The cocktail was really good. The bartender was very personable. read more

CLOCK Restoration Kitchen & Bar - Grilled QG Chicken Sandwich with fries - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Arriving on my first night in Baltimore and staying close by Downtown near the Inner Harbor I walked on over to get a drink and have a cheroot. Clock Restoration is a private club where as a non-member you can pay $40 to use their cigar lounge. Arriving 2 hours before closing I ordered a cocktail before proceeding to the 3rd floor cigar lounge where I chose my cheroot. Lounge area is small but intimate with a couple of TV monitors and a fireplace. First time visiting a private cigar club and it was a nice experience. read more

Super cool speakeasy to go too! The building was very unassuming since it was a tailor downstairs and you had to take an elevator to go upstairs to the bar! We were confused at first and wasn't sure but they had signs pointing to the elevator on the right & instructions on how to get into the bar! Super cool experience with 10/10 drinks. The espresso martini was one of the best espresso martinis I've had - you can tell the bartender didn't use Baileys & used real espresso to make the drink. The transfusion was also really good! We had the cheesesteak egg rolls that were super yummy. The bar itself is very aesthetically pleasing & the bartender was super friendly! I would recommend & just stopping by for a drink if you're in the area! read more

The Clock Restoration in Baltimore is a bar located on South Calvert St. You have to enter a code in the elevator to reach the bar on the 6th floor. Once you get off the elevator, you walk into a world of vibrant atmosphere & carefully crafted cocktails. There are clocks throughout the space, a room with a pool table and other fun amenities. The cocktails are specially crafted and if you love a good old fashion, I highly recommend the G Man which is an Old Fashion with homemade gingerbread syrup. I got mine smoked. I highly recommend Click Restoration for unique cocktails with a laid back atmosphere. And the bartenders Savannah & Corey were friendly and awesome!! read more

Totally cool place, great atmosphere, lots of tasty cocktails and awesome server (Corey)...but....the place was out of a significant amount of items on the menu. And even the entrees we ordered were missing items. This was a Saturday night and around 7 pm. I would have given it a 3.5 if I could, but I felt generous and gave the 4. Cause I felt this place has to be better. The menu really looked great. The cocktails were real tasty and based on the menu quite ingenious. The restaurant was not quite full and we waited for quite a long time for our food. Now to be fair our server, Corey, did great! He was apologetic and he even discounted the tab given our wait time. In these situations, it's not the server's fault...it is the management and planning of the kitchen. What happened guys?? The atmosphere was super cool with the decor of clocks everywhere and background RnB music...I think it's a greatl place for drinks and apps. Would I come back again?...yes I think so..food we had was so tasty and as mentioned cocktails great. Just be cautious if you go for dinner. There is also a separate room for lounging and playing pool. Take the "time" to check out clock restoration. read more

I picked this restaurant strictly on the high Yelp rating. I was not impressed but the draw (the picture of the burger) was - according to my daughter- delicious. But my salmon was average and the rice pilaf was a farce - it was white rice. Kudos for accommodating my young granddaughter (definitely not kid friendly) with a burger with no fixings I don't understand the high rating. I guess if you wanted an expensive burger and a drink then I can see giving the restaurant a high score but for what I got - 3 stars is all I can give. One for the accommodation; one for the drinks and one for the staff. read more

Clockwork markets itself as a speakeasy, so I had high expectations. We stopped in to grab cocktails and takeout since we had our well-behaved kids (10 and 13) with us. The bartender was helpful, and we went with his recommendations: * Cheesesteak Eggrolls * Chili * Chicken Caesar Wrap * QG Chicken Sandwich * Chicken Cobb Salad Starting with the Cheesesteak Eggrolls, we had high hopes based on reviews, but they were a major letdown--greasy, under-seasoned, and honestly, inedible. The chili was hearty and enjoyable. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was mostly lettuce with very little chicken and lacked flavor. The dressing tasted store-bought, not homemade. The QG Chicken Sandwich was huge, salty, and probably the best thing we ordered. The Cobb Salad was missing avocado, egg, and blue cheese--so it really wasn't a Cobb at all. As for drinks, they were overpriced. We paid around $40 for a glass of mediocre red wine and a decent bourbon. The bartender raved about the red wine, but it turned out to be a $12 bottle from Total Wine, yet they charged $17 per glass. I understand markups, but this was excessive. Would I go back? No. Would I call this a true speakeasy? Also no. read more

Such a great way to bring in the new year. I've been wanting to check this place out so I stopped by while my boyfriend was being serviced downstairs. It sits on top of a luxury male spa/barber shop. The bar reminds you of a speak easy. We were there early on a weekday so it wasn't packed at all but a time was still had. Great food and delicious wine and the bartender was very friendly. We will be back. read more

CLOCK Restoration Kitchen & Bar - Burger Flat Top "Smash" Burger and fries - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Was so excited to visit this place. The premise of it was super cool. Went there on a Friday night with a reservation. Place was fairly full but had a couple open tables. We ordered drinks, apps and entrees. First indication was that the drinks came quick but then the server disappeared. He seemed to enjoying hanging out with the regulars. App finally arrived and was just MEH. An hour later we asked another server if she could ask our server where our food was. He promptly brought over some bastardized version of white chili that looked like it had been sitting under the plate for almost an hour. Our other entree didn't arrive. I went to the bar to just cash out the drinks and the app and noticed my entree sitting in the window. It ABSOLUTELY looked like it had been sitting there for the entire hour. I just paid and left. What a horrible dining experience. The server didn't care and didn't apologize. It seemed like a regular occurrence for him. So sad. read more

​This place felt like a proper speakeasy from the moment we walked in. The fact that it's on the sixth floor and has that exclusive, "passcodes and memberships" vibe makes it feel like a true hidden gem. It's not as fancy as the setup might suggest--it has a bit of a "boys club" atmosphere with the QG's barbershop and tailoring services nearby--but what it lacks in frills, it more than makes up for with its incredible food. ​The menu is a home run, and the appetizers were out of this world. The fried goat cheese was a game-changer; perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully gooey on the inside. We also devoured the crab dip, which was fresh and creamy and served with delicious pita (or naan, it was perfect either way). ​The best part, though? This place is exclusive enough that we were able to find a seat on a game day. That's a huge win in a city like Baltimore, and it makes this spot a definite hit. If you're looking for a low-key but high-quality place to grab a drink and some phenomenal food, especially when everywhere else is packed, this is your spot. read more

This is a cool little restaurant downtown. It's got a ton of character. I love sitting at the bar. The last time I went my friend and I met there for lunch. It was a little after noon and while they were open, they had no bartender/server. Luckily, I was not in a rush, but it was the cook to the rescue. He filled in and took our order and then made an amazingly good beyond burger. It was very satisfying. He took a ton of pride in his food and it showed! Sadly no drinks since the bartender didn't show up until it was time to leave. I have been there on prior occasions and it's well worth a visit. Food is always top notch as are the drinks. read more

This is a pleasing review. I stopped in looking for a hat. I work close by and have been told they have a few to choose from. Unfortunately, due to the holidays they were low on stock and none were to my liking. But, I noticed they had a bar upstairs. Since I wasn't able to spend time hunting for a hat, I had time for a beer. Typically, I search for breweries, but in this case I opted for a beer. This one did not disappoint me. I am a Guinness fan, but 99% of the pubs stores their kegs next to the others beers. To me that is a no-no. I am not interested in drinking frozen beers which kill my taste buds. But then I heard the owner prefers the drink at a warmer level. Here, they actually store the keg in a different location. The pour allowed me to sip the black stuff within a minutes time after it settled. Wow I'm impressed. As for the place, it is a bit more pricey than the burbs, but not astronomical as some may think. Here is the QR Code if someone wants to check the cost. Thanks for reading. read more

I very rarely give reviews, and only at the extremes. This place was outstanding across the board. A group of colleagues came ready to celebrate, and our server Chris offered exemplary hospitality -- kind, funny, quick-witted, knowledgable. He was also bartending, and everyone was impressed by the cocktail selection and execution. I was not expecting the food to be so elevated in quality, taste and presentation. High end bar food with a selection that suits meat eaters and veggies alike. The fried pickles were bonkers good. Same with Brussels sprouts. Ambiance was fun, relaxed, spacious. Lots of great bar games we didn't have time to play because we were talking too much. Can't say enough about the place. read more

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. read more

I actually had a good time overall here. The overall theme and speakeasy vibe is nice touch. I would come back for the bar, but not sure if I need to come back for dinner. GLOWS: -Parking is 100% a hassle at certain times of the day, but they do validate parking for a reduced fee in the Renaissance garage, which absolutely helps. -The bartending staff were friendly and effective. Special S/o to them for getting everything right and being a pleasure. - The chicken cheesesteak had a good flavor and very soft bread! GROWS: -The kitchen area was a little chaotic. I'm an extra visual person when I'm dining in some place, so Id much rather just have the food TO GO, rather than speculate over every detail of the prep process- kinda out of sight out of mind. -I believe the fries had truffle on them which made them very salty. -The wings were tasty, but fried too hard, which dried them out on the inside. read more

I had lunch at CLOCK Restoration recently when I was downtown for jury duty and though, "I want a fun lunch rather than a quick lunch at a fast casual spot." The restaurant is on the 6th floor of 31 S. Calvert Street (when you walk into the lobby and the elevator, there are signs explaining how to get to the restaurant). For a place that advertises itself as a kind of speakeasy, it definitely has more a pub vibe to me (more casual than I was expecting). But the service was really good (the bartended made sure that I had a quick meal and was on my way to the courthouse on time to sit for several more hours before being released), and I really enjoyed my meal. The menu is mostly pub-like, too (burgers, sandwiches, wings, etc.), which isn't my normal preference, but I really enjoyed what I ordered: the QC Melt (basically a grilled cheese) with the added crab cake, which comes with their fries. The crab melt was a delicious and a good deal for how much crab was on my sandwich, and the fries were well-seasoned. Overall, the restaurant is a little less speakeasy-feeling than I was expecting, and more a traditional pub or bar (both in decor and food), but I had a good experience. I'm rarely in this part of downtown, but if it's not a bad place for a bite or a drink if you're in the area. read more

I came up from Orlando for a weekend getaway. Between Yelp and the concierge at my hotel - this was a spot I needed to visit. I did not disappoint. Brad was so much fun. I loved how personable and knowledgeable he was. It made being in the city solo feel very welcoming. The general crowd was also extremely positive. It was easy to make conversations with others. The menu options are great, along with their rotating specials. I ended up ordering the fried goat cheese balls. I didn't take a picture, as I was so invested in devouring the goodness. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting and wanting a laid back ambiance. From the moment I walked in I felt like I was a regular, and that's very hard to achieve. 10/10. Thank you, Brad! read more

The philly cheesesteak and fries were well prepared. The fried goat cheese balls had a great flavor. Drinks very good and balanced. There ambiance was off. It doesn't have the intimacy of a speak easy. Felt more like a local bar but a little touristy. Worth visiting at least once. Or a place to pop into for a quick bite. read more

My husband and I were looking for somewhere different to eat and decided to come here. I really enjoyed this speakeasy establishment. The setting was nice with the different clocks on the wall. Macy, our server was beyond friendly and great. The food was tasty, filling, and quick to come out. I didn't enjoy my first margarita but Macy switched it out for another she made, which was absolutely delicious. We will be back. They also validated our parking. #fiveoclocksomewhere read more

Savannah is awesome - strong drinks and great conversation. Orange crush and espresso martini. Order them. Would come here again!

Clock took the reservation, confirmed at the time and the day before, but was closed.

What a hidden gem! Stopped here on a snowy Friday afternoon based on a yelp search. Take the elevator to the 6th floor using the directions in the lobby. Food was excellent! Bar-food type fare but made to order and fresh and tasty. Drinks were excellent and prices were very fair. Our server/bartender Savannah took pride in her job and the establishment. She told us all about the place and was so friendly. It's always 5 o'clock here! Very fun! Definitely give this spot a try!!! read more

I had beet and cashew salad with white wine vinaigrette and added grilled salmon. It was delicious. The passionfruit liquor was heavenly. Even on a super busy night before the Hans Zimmer concert the bartender was attentive and helpful. We sat at the bar where I noticed the cool copper bar top that showcased what you can do with small pieces of beautiful wood. The little touches made me feel someone has put some thought into the comfort of their patrons: Power outlet with USB slots and hooks for coats and/or bags are available under the counter.

Amazing! We stopped by on a mid afternoon on Friday. Cocktails were out of this world and the burger was incredible. Crab dip was also great. We had my five year old and while they didn't have a kids menu, the staff was super helpful in recommending kid friendly options. I really appreciated it because it made us feel welcome rather than how some companies make you feel like you should choose a different place if you have a kid. Space was cool.

Great spot for a quick bite to eat , with a speakeasy menu, and dedicated staff. My husband and I enjoyed a quick Friday night bite together. The bar was on the 6th floor of a multiplex that housed a boutique, spa, restaurant and bar. The decor was really cute. They weren't kicking about the Clocks. Clocks were located all over the restaurant walls. The menu was simple yet tasty. The staff was very nice, there was a bartender, host, and waitress all wrapped into to one person, which I thought was alot, but she was killing it. I ordered the mushroom burger and it was delightful the fries were the best i've had in a while. They also had really good mocktails for those who enjoy non-alcoholic beverages. I'm glad we stumbled upon this spot. I would definitely visit again. read more

This place bills itself as a speakeasy, but it is more like a sports bar, in decor, menu, and vibe. The fried pickles were the standout - super thinly sliced and almost like chips. The cocktail menu is inventive and the gin old fashioned and daiquiri were delightful. On the downside, the deviled eggs tasted overwhelming like Dijon mustard and the salad dressing was a cup of mid-grade balsamic vinegar. The bartender, however, was great and she even put the sound on for the Orioles game. I would swing by for a baseball game or happy hour, but this is not a place for date night or intimate conversation. read more

My son, his girlfriend, and I went to have dinner at Clock Restoration in Baltimore. We had never been and was looking for something different, so we decided to give it a shot. It's advertised as a speakeasy inspired restaurant which sparked my interest. Y'all know I love a cute speakeasy. You are given clues on the number that is needed to enter. We easily figured out the entry code before arriving. But when we got there, the code is listed on the elevator. That took some of the fun out of it. Our server Macy, (was super sweet) greeted us and began to assist us with our order. Here's what we got and how we rated it: Chicken Sandwich (with added fried egg and cheese) 10/10 Steak 6/10 Honey Old Bay Wings 8/10 Brussel sprouts 2/10 (burned to a crisp) Mashed Potatoes 8/10 French Fries 6/10 Fried Pickles 1/10 (sliced so thin that there was no taste of pickle whatsoever) Crabcake 7/10 Cocktails 6/10 Unfortunately, our experience ended on a sour note. Immediately after leaving, my son's girlfriend started experiencing stomach pains, which led her to a very long and uncomfortable night. But to make matters worse, my son had to be taken to Prompt Med and was diagnosed with food poisoning. He is actually still in the process of recovering. I have never seen my strong and healthy 24-year-old son so sick and weak. We were on the fence about the possibility of returning but after the night we had that ended in needing medical attention, I can't say that I will return. read more
