    Deli

    Love, love, love it here! Customer service great, drinks great, atmosphere great. I was greeted by a worker who immediately asked me have I been here before, when I said no he said welcome with a big smile. The bartender was funny and personable. They were playing old school music at a nice calm volume. I'll absolutely will be back.

    Really well run spot. Took a large group in there and all staff were friendly and helpful. The lounge area is laid out very well and the place has a good vibe. Also helps to have a deli attached for some good sandwiches while you hang out. Will definitely be back.

    TLDR: A hidden speakeasy gem in Fells with incredible cocktails, great vibes, and outstanding hospitality. Go before it becomes the next big thing. Highball, the speakeasy in the back of Bank St Deli, is one of the coolest speakeasy concepts I've experienced in Baltimore and it instantly reminded me of the hidden bars you find throughout NYC. The nondescript deli storefront is perfect, and the secret entrance behind the soda machine absolutely nails the speakeasy reveal. My group of eight stopped in on a Saturday right when they opened at 4pm and had the bar to ourselves. The bartenders were incredibly hospitable and quick with thoughtful drink recommendations. A few of us hit it off with Evan in particular, who kept the cocktails flowing and the conversation lively. We only came for pre-dinner drinks so I can't comment on the deli portion, but the sandwich menu looked solid. What really shines here are the cocktails and the ambiance. The decor sets the tone, and the drinks match it with style. Our favorites were the Green Book Reserve and the Bank Street Dirty, their creative spin on a dirty martini. Every drink was balanced, inventive, and delicious. Overall, Highball feels like it's on track to become one of the hottest spots in Fells, so make sure to visit before everyone else catches on.

    I appreciate their attempt at a cocktail "speakeasy" bar. They did a great job with the bartenders, but it took us 30+ minutes to even be able to order a drink since everything was ordered only from one portion of the table. They also had their lights on incredibly bright. - all in all, would not recommended.

    Highball is one of those places that makes the experience just as memorable as the food and drinks. At first, you think you're walking into a liquor store... then suddenly it turns into a delicatessen. From there, you have the option to go through a vending machine door that opens into an entirely new space: Highball. That reveal alone sets the tone for the night. The bar area is intimate, but it opens up into a cozy lounge that secretly overlooks the deli, which is such a cool touch. We started the evening seated at the bar, where the bartenders were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made fantastic drinks. As our group grew, we moved into the lounge area, which ended up being super comfortable and perfect for all of us to relax and enjoy the night. The food? Absolutely on point. I had the Caprese sandwich, which was fresh and delicious. Someone ordered the Caesar salad, and it honestly didn't stand a chance -- it was that good. Another had the Reuben, and it was packed with perfection. Drinks were just as impressive. We sampled a variety -- one with mezcal, one with Buffalo Trace (my choice, and it was yummy), plus Manhattans and smoked Old Fashioneds. Every drink was crafted beautifully and tasted just as good as it looked. Great vibes, amazing drinks, solid food, and a fun hidden-gem feel. Highball is definitely a spot I'd return to and recommend if you're looking for something a little different with a lot of character.

    This is a place you need to check out before it becomes the next hot thing! Lots of free parking. a little outside of the fells point area sits this cute little bar! Walk through the front of the store and open up the soda machine to find this dimly lit beautiful bar! The service was great, drinks were tasty! Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu!

    $1,000 a year for membership? Thats wild. Too much for Baltimore in my opinion. There's plenty of speakeasy's around.

    this meal was top-notch and I have to say the portion sizes were pretty great. I couldn't even eat…read moreall the vegetables, although they were so delicious on my plate. They didn't have as many gluten-free appetizer options as I would've liked to see but I asked him if they had gluten-free bread and they did bring me out a gluten-free bun lol I thought it was funny, but I really appreciated the effort. Went with a group of people, beautiful views I think it would be hard to have a business meeting there because it was so loud, but the white stuff was amazing and as I said, the food portion side was delicious delicious I had the blackened cod in the blackening seasoning that they use is out out of this world highly recommend

    We went to Rusty Scupper last weekend for the first time, and I have to say the place is beautiful…read more The ambiance was very nice, the service was great, and the food came out very quickly. We only ordered appetizers and drinks, but everything we tried was good. We shared the crab dip, which was amazing, and I personally ordered the calamari, which I also enjoyed. For drinks, I had their sangria -- sweet, refreshing, and very good overall. My only issue with the place is the pricing. We spent over $400 without even ordering full meals, so it definitely feels expensive. Overall, it's a great spot for the atmosphere and food, but be prepared for high prices.

Not the best…read moreI've had by any means, but way better than what most places try and pass off as a crab cake. The dinner option was generous with 2 delicious crabby mounds, and two sides which I did not want, but I was able to sub out others. Nice! The old fashioned wasn't much to look at, but man o man... it was actually pretty good and a reasonable price. I had a couple as I'm not one to pass up cheap drinks. Service was spectacular too with our waiter joking around with us and taking good care of us while we dined after a conference. If you're in Baltimore and near the convention center (or the Orioles Park), this place is worth a stop if you're in a crab cake mood and don't want to venture to the Inner Harbor for something a little more upscale.

Everyone checked in with our guests and our party periodically, they were open to answer all of our questions, and the energy of the staff was really great. Talking to everyone, joking with them, they were a blast to talk to! The food was really good too! The sweet chili wings were so great to eat! The spicy rub chicken was good too! The rest were really good too! Especially as vegetarian options! The vibe of our event room was awesome! It's called The Library. The location was roomy but also felt homey at the same time. TV is there in the middle too for other game events if you want to watch. 5/5 experience and I've gone back already these past couple of days too!

    We stopped in here for happy hour on a Friday. My friends and I ordered quite a few things to share…read moreand most everything was amazing. We order the turkey club, hush puppies, cream of crab soup, the charcuterie board, fries, and fried oysters to share. The turkey club was the star of the show. It had nice layers of avocado, the chicken was cooked well, and the bacon added a nice touch. For drinks we stuck to the margaritas and they were perfect! I would say you can skip the fries, the seasoning was great the batch of fries we had seemed like they might not have been fresh. The rest of the menu was so good I would still say you could skip the fries and order a double serving of hush puppies.

    Although the food and waitstaff were excellent, the overall experience was disappointing…read more We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly seated at the worst table in the restaurant: the only table with no view, the waitstaff work area directly behind the table, and constant foot traffic behind us as well. We immediately asked the hostess for a different table. She told as that the three booths and the six other two-tops were all reserved. She left us with no attempt at an apology and promptly put reserved signs on all the open tables. When we left an hour later, one booth and 4 two-tops had never been used. Much to our dismay, we saw people seated outside even though we had received a text before arriving saying the patio was closed for the evening. To add insult to injury, even half empty, the noise level was so uncomfortable since everything was tile, marble, or wood that the alarm sensor on my smart watch sounded because of the decibel level. We will not be back.
