    Sazarac
    Mary K.

    We were looking for a nice cocktail before dinner and remembered the recent James Beard nominated bartender and Southpaw, and knew we had to go check it out. The overall space was nice, there are tables and a bar, and it felt cozy but open at the same time. It was loud, it was hard to hear with how many people were in there. The drinks were fantastic- I started with a sazarac at our table (order at the bar). We decided to move to the bar when some seats opened up to make it easier to order our next drink- for me a fan fav. Surfer Rosa! We spoke to Doug (JB nominated!) who was super chill and fun to watch make up drinks and dash about behind the bar.

    Cute little corner bar with a jukebox and nice drinks menu! Came on Saturday night around 10, it's a small place but seemed to have lots of standing room and folks moving in and out, we sat right away. There is a small food menu of a burger, fries, and fried chicken sandwich. Their drinks included cocktails, beer, and wine. We got cocktails and they were good but only 4 ingredients or so per drink and still $15+, a bit exorbitant. Overall I'd give it a chance if you're in the area!!

    Really lovely bartender but unfortunately the stateman jukebox is out of service. You can roll the dice to get a beer and shot for $12. Nice signature cocktails!!!

    Stumbled upon this bar on a late Wednesday afternoon to celebrate my wife achievement at work. Southpaw is located in fells point not too far from Whole Foods. Upon walking in you're introduced to low lighting cave vibes with a detailed bar and the owner welcoming you in. All drinks are well priced and curated well. I ordered a sazerac and a local recommended that this was his go too. It did not disappoint. The cognac blended well with the bitters and simple syrup making It go down smooth. My wife enjoyed her smash burger and fries and well. I will return to try their happy hour

    I have been meaning to check out Southpaw for months and gladly stumbled in on a very cold, windy Saturday! The bartenders were very fun to talk to and the menu was very interesting. Not pictured, we got the Cobra Chai which was delish with the Szechuan amaro. The pomegranate mezcal cocktail was also very yummy. I loved the nostalgic decor and jukebox. It was decently packed for how cold it was outside! Love seeing cute cocktail bars like this doing well!

    I truly enjoyed this spot. I came here with my husband for a late night dinner and drink date. I met Doug who is one of the owners, and he is very friendly and super kind I ordered the Sazerac with the Smashburger and I must say, I was very impressed. The food came out freshly cooked and piping hot! And the Sazerac was made to perfection. I really don't have any dislikes at all with this place. Will come back for sure!

    I went there on a Friday night for a bday party. Parking: there was street parking nearby, but probably easier to uber/lyft there. Space: it was a nice cozy space. It wasn't really big but nice for an intimate gathering. There were about 30 people in there for the party and it was more then comfortable. Customer -Service-there we're two bartenders but they were still pretty quick with the orders and helpful. Food: they only have food on Fridays and Saturdays and the menu is limited to wings, burgers, and fries. I got a bun less burger and it was fine. Did it's job for a burger. The burger came with fries and they were delicious. Very well seasoned. I heard the wings were good. i didn't get anything to drink but the folks around me said the drinks were really good, so will have to try that next time.

    New cocktail bar in the area! Owned by one of the people who opened Rye in Fells Point! This place is definitely fulfilling the chill cocktail bar vibe! It's in Fells, but not in the extra, party, thick of it all, a couple blocks down from the main area. It feels like a cozy, neighborhood bar! They have an always happy hour, where there a group of drinks for $9. The prices for great cocktails is amazing! I got the spicy marg and the surfer Rosa which were both great! They also have a ton of local beers and wine as well if that is what you prefer! I would highly recommend if you are trying to go to a place that's more lowkey, with incredible cocktails! They're hoping to add food soon, and I'm excited to go back when they do, but in the meantime, I'm excited to try some more cocktails on the menu!

    A smoky Negroni and a Commodore
    Bill Z.

    Southpaw is a smallish, bright, comfortable, and friendly place to stop in for a drink or two. Their menu features around 8 specific cocktails, of which we tried a few, though I'm sure they can make many more. Their smoky Negroni was a big hit with us. I had the Commodore, which was refreshing, but I was expecting a bit more of a pomegranate presence, since it was advertised as one of the ingredients. It's in a very convenient location as a destination while you are going through Fells Point and Upper Fells Point.

    Chill neighborhood bar in the Harbor East/Fells Point area. If you are looking for a local establishment, I was told that the owner has over 20 years of experience and many of the drinks have a local flair to them. I came with some friends to catch up at a four top table. Pretty small establishment as most rowhomes turned bar/restaurants are, the full bar and tables probably seat 20-30 people tops. They do have a jukebox but sadly it is not working at the moment. They are adding some more food to the menu, when I went they had a hamburger meal available but I had already eaten dinner so did not get to test it out, hopefully they have a full kitchen up and running soon. Will definitely check it out again when I want to have a low key night with friends.

Everyone was pretty happy with their drinks. This is when the night turned. 4 of the 7 of us wanted to leave and head elsewhere, the waitress made ALL 7 of us pay even though the others wanted to stay and order more.

The Cannon Room is a small cocktail bar tucked away in the back of The Pendry and is easily one of my favorite places to grab a drink in Fells Point. Only open after 5pm, it makes for a perfect predinner stop, especially if you are a bourbon fan. Their bourbon selection is seriously impressive, with everything from approachable pours to rare bottles that climb well into the triple digits. They also offer curated bourbon flights that change depending on availability, which is a great way to try something new. The decor deserves just as much attention as the drinks. The room is filled with warm wood accents and subtle Baltimore nautical theming that gives the space a really immersive feel. The centerpiece is the historic cannon that was dredged up from the harbor during construction of the hotel and is now displayed beneath the floor as you enter the bar. Service has always been 10/10. The bartenders clearly take pride in the craft of making cocktails and have the bourbon knowledge to back up the impressive bottle collection. Overall, the Cannon Room is a must stop while visiting Baltimore and an especially easy recommendation for bourbon lovers exploring Fells Point.

Two ciders ran us about $20, which felt reasonable for the setting and quality. We stopped in twice because we really wanted to try the bacon-wrapped goat cheese jalapeño poppers. The first time we weren't hungry enough, so we made a point to come back later and I'm glad we did. They were excellent. Not a huge portion, but it's an appetizer and felt appropriate. They were rich and well balanced, definitely a fork-and-knife situation, and worth the ~$14. The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal here. Tons of dark wood, historic character, and that old-Baltimore charm that makes you feel like the place has stories. It's warm and inviting. Perfect stop for drinks and a snack, especially on a cold day by the water. I'd absolutely go back if only for another hot rum cider and those poppers again.
