    1'30'2026 The Black Butterfly and Sugar Hill.
    Jada C.

    My 1st and certainly not my last visit here. Hubby and I stopped by establishment last evening after dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Free street parking. Partly residential, partly businesses. As soon as we stepped up to the doorway, we were greeted by a gentleman who showed us the way. This establishment was larger than anticipated, yet still held the intimacy and ambiance of a perfect speakeasy. The music was right!! We sat ourselves. Shortly after, Sam came over to greet us. She was kind, and on time!! She assisted w us picking beverage selections. She was right on the money w her beverage descriptions. We ordered The Black Butterfly and Sugar Hill. We absolutely loved both! The presentation, concoction, and taste. I would 1 million percent order again. They have a food menu as well which sets them apart from others. Hubby and I arrived from dinner so we did not order anything, but knowing they have food is top tier !! Upon leaving, the kind gentleman who initially greeted us (& gives Boss vibes) informed us that this establishment will be open Tuesday thru Sunday (or Saturday) starting 2'10'2026 annnndddd will be open on Valentine's Day. Win !! Win !! I highly recommend this establishment to any and everyone looking for a great speakeasy w great vibes and nostalgic tunes.

    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.

    The High Ball was amazing. What a fun experience. The secret speak easy entrance is through a Coca-Cola machine door! The ambiance is cosy Art deco with comfortable booths and adjoining double sided bar connected to it. We met the cordial owners and the lovely waitress Olivia! The sandwiches were mouthwateringly delicious hearty and satisfying deli style. Even a sandwich on giant pickle slices to treat gluten free me. We got there early in the evening and enjoyed the feeling of a private club. An intriguing selection of hand crafted cocktails. Everything went well!!!

    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!

    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.

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

    In any other city, the crab cakes here would be 5 star as they were pretty dang good. 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.

We stopped by around 5 PM on a Saturday before an Orioles game, so as expected, the place was extremely busy and had a lively pregame atmosphere. The beers were good, but unfortunately, the food is what brought my rating down to three stars. The fries tasted a little stale, and I ordered the smash burger (forgot to grab a picture), which was pretty average. I've definitely had much better smash burgers elsewhere. We also tried the chicken fingers, which were very basic and reminded me of typical ballpark food, not bad, but nothing memorable or something I'd crave again. Overall, Pratt Street Ale House is a solid spot for drinks and the pregame atmosphere, especially if you're heading to an Orioles game. However, based on the food we tried, I probably wouldn't come back specifically to eat. I'd recommend it more as a pregame drinks spot than a dining destination.

    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.
