We ran down, but the tasting room had closed up early, not to worry~ the bar was open & they weren't terribly busy, so we got a little tasting! Chokeberry was the first thing we tried. A liqueur made from local berries. This wasn't sweet, but had the berry profile! We scooped it up for potential cocktails! We tried the bourbon and whiskeys and were debating on which we liked when I spotted the pear liqueur! Ohhh~ please let me try that one!!!! Sold! 2 more bottles added. Thanks so much for making sure we got samples! This would easily be a return stop! And the space was swanky! Loved the huge patio too.

This is my all time, absolute favorite bar in Frederick. I almost wanted to refrain from saying…read morethat to avoid it getting too packed but this place definitely deserves the attention. I always make sure to stop by whenever I'm in Frederick. The ambiance is like a dim light basement, a clean and moody aesthetic with bar seating and couch seating. It does get loud in there and I think that's because the sound of everyone's voice just bounces against too many hard surfaces. Nonetheless it's super cozy and my favorite spot!! The drinks are all fantastic. They make their own organic distilled liquor and on top of that they away have seasonal drink selections. I go there wanting the same drink but also try something new and it never disappoints! They craft their cocktails with love and care and really put effort into a delicious well rounded cocktail. This is my go to spot for gin, I'm not even a gin drinker but I am now because their gin is amazingly smooth. I can't say enough great things!

Actually, just having looked back at pictures, it is very CASTLE - esk. It's practically a large castle. So, you get into the center and it's more like a large gym space though. The ceiling is very high which is nice- makes the room very airy. I was here for the Maryland Ensemble Theater's Retro Prom. They decorated the place nicely. And the venue seems like it could easily fit 500 people reception style. There is a lack of parking, but the large expansive room makes up for it. If memory serves me right, there were basketball hoops attached to the ceiling. It is very much like a gym feel. There are fields around the building. A great large event venue in a town where not many at all exist.

Wandering around Frederick, I walked inside a historic house to find exhibits set up by one of the…read moreoldest historical societies in the country. Two friendly women greeted me and encouraged me to buy a $12 ticket to visit. The bottom floor takes visitors through several rooms of art and history of Frederick County. Upstairs are exhibits about the actual house and a few other topics. Outside is a garden that hosts events. I learned a lot about the area and saw art and photos about life back in the day. I also appreciated that the exhibit acknowledges that the house had owners that once enslaved people. Rather than ignoring it, they call it out.

We took a table in the rear enclosed patio area near the bar. To start we ordered the meatball sliders. Two come with an order and they were good. I liked the toasted slider rolls, the tangy sauce and the spiciness of the meatball. Recommend cutting it in half to eat it without it flying out of the roll. Overall a good start. I ordered the gnocchi primavera which really wasn't in the traditional sense - as the vegetables were puréed together into an orange sauce. Had a good flavor and was served with burrata. Starters and entrees came out very close to each other which wasn't a bad thing. We also added a margherita pizza to share which looked weird - but tasted great. Nice crisp to the crust and thin. I usually think of a doughier crust with this kind of pizza but still good. Dessert was the fudge cake - rich in flavor, adding a coffee. Overall - would have loved to sit inside and get that experience but still good considering we didn't have a reservation. Our waiter - younger guy out back we good, though at times we leaned on the other bartender to help get refills.

We first stopped at the Visitor Center and talked to the gentlemen who gave us the brochure and directed us upstairs to the museum. This was a great first stop to give us insight to the battle and the times. It was really cool to read about residents of Frederick from 150 years ago. At the back of the museum is a light up map that is a MUST in helping understand the layout of the several farms and battle. We did the 5 stop tour (minus the NJ memorial which is under construction). We took several pictures and did a few trails at the Worthington Farm. We finished at the Gambrils Mill and saw the bridge with a whole new perspective. Go check out this history filled battle field right under your nose in Frederick!

The Visitor Center is very nice with a electronic interpretive displays, as well as battlefield artifacts. There is a self-guided 4 mile (6 km) automobile tour of the battlefield and three walking loop trails. It was raining the day we visited, which curtailed exploring the Battlefield and its historical buildings. But I thoroughly enjoyed the the view of the Battlefield -- a rolling grassy field with dense forest around it -- and imagined what the battle may have looked like that day.
