    Chilling out waiting for charcuterie
    Adam K.

    This is downstairs scaled-back lesser version of the Bluebird Cocktail Room. It has a lounge feel and doesn't take itself too seriously. They're only open on the weekend, so when my wife and I wanted to switch it up, we left the Cocktail Room and bounced down here. The menus are definitely more condensed than what you'll find upstairs - there were only 5 signature cocktails and only a couple foods. They had homestyle chips, some fancy peanuts, and everything else is cheese or ham for a fancy board. I was advised to go here for good charcuterie, so my wife and I figured we'd try it out. The cheeses were delightful - some sort of blue and some soft goat cheese and Virgina-raised smoked Ibérico ham was delightful. While nothing tops Spanish Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, this local twist on the ham was very pleasant. The whole board came with onion jam, Dijon mustard, some slices of pickled beets and jalapeños, as well as some toasted bread. We also ordered the peanuts, which weren't as sweet as I thought they'd be, but had a pleasant spice kick. The drinks were fine. I enjoyed my Old Fashioned - I've had better, but this was still up there. My wife got the Seelbach, which we both agreed had a fish-tank kind of funk (but somehow in a good way?!), and she enjoyed its boozy complexity. Unlike upstairs, they will come to your table and take your order and are relatively speedy about it all. It's not the cheapest place and probably not a place to have a substantial filling dinner, but it is a place to have some fancy small plates and some drinks.

    Came here after leaving the cocktail room, which is right upstairs . We sat at the bar, where I enjoyed my ginger beer ; ) the guys enjoyed their old fashions.

    Yelp Fam I just discovered the little brother to one of my favorite spots to get a cocktail. The Bluebird Cocktail room is a Staple in Hampden. Recently I read that they purchased the basement of the current location and made it a pub. I was excited to to try it ,luckily on Sunday my Gf & I ended up in Hampden to try the Bluebird Pub. It's an intimate pub with bar seating and tables. They have a huge whiskey selection, you could say it's their specialty. We were greeted as we entered and our bartender(s) were very nice. I have a few recommendations The old fashioned- this was probably the best one I've ever had. They have mastered this classic, it was extremely smooth. House whiskey hints of vanilla, A huge square shaved ice cube and orange peel. The Pub Burger- the Double Pub Burger was excellent, really hit home for me. Again one of the best burgers I've ever had without question. It's not a question of if I would return it's really when, truly a great experience in a intimate environment with wonderful drinks and great food. Do yourself a favor and check out The Bluebird Pub.

    $28 cheese board. One goat and one cow milk cheese, no silverware or plates. Fingers only.

    Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.

    This local speakeasy has quickly moved its way to the top of my list…read more I love the ease of parking, safe neighborhood, and spacious speakeasy space. Always great service by bar manager Charlie, fantastic food and beverage menu and options. My favs so far are the grilled wings and chicken tortilla soup. The drinks are pretty awesome, and Charlie the Great can alter beverages to your preference if you prefer. This is an overall mezcal bar, but they have other libations as well. My fav is John Updike's Old Fashioned. My son ordered and loved the Strawberry Gin & Tonic. This establishment is a great conversation starter, and I look forward to returning asap.

The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. The hostess even gave us a little tour so we could decide where we wanted to sit. On our first visit, we chose the bar and completely lucked out, we got to meet the cocktail master and some of the other staff while they were doing tasting tests. They walked us through the history and inspiration behind the cocktails and creations, which made the experience feel so much more personal. The atmosphere is lovely. I started with the Japanese Breakfast, which was tart and boozy, while my husband got the Pineapple Express, which had such a unique flavor. I didn't love the fizz, but he absolutely did! We then asked our server for recommendations and ended up with the Duck Season for me and the Spanish Moss for him. The Spanish Moss was a little too sweet for my taste, but the Duck Season was, without exaggeration, one of the most interesting things I've ever tasted. It was savory, rich, and deep, almost velvety and chocolate-like, despite not actually being chocolate. The entire combination of flavors was incredible. On our next visit, we sat outside, and the ambiance was just as wonderful. This time we tried a Stranger in Paradise and an I'm a Baijiu A Drink, and both had incredibly detailed and thoughtful flavor profiles. Between the cocktails, the staff, the atmosphere, and the fact that every drink feels like its own little experience, I absolutely cannot wait to go back!

Both the indoor and outdoor area is beautifully decorated with antiques. I love the unique glassware too. I ordered the "Japanese Breakfast" which was a tart and boozy sipper with an egg white foam. It was good but not as refreshing as I'd hoped. Sometimes I have trouble reading the menu here due to some of the more niche ingredients they use and it can be hard to know what the final product will taste like. If you're like me, I recommend asking for the servers' suggestions.

My friends suggested that we dine here for restaurant week which was a sweet idea. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly hostess who took us to our seats. Then our waiter explained the menu and gave us some time to decided what menu we wanted to order from (Restaurant week brunch menu or regular menu). We chose the brunch menu. For the brunch menu we were able to choose a appetizer, entree, and a dessert for $35.00. Not too bad. For drinks I ordered PIRATE PRINCESS which was Ron del Barrilito 2 Star Puerto Rican rum, passionfruit, miso honey, lime, and togarash. It was a perfect balance of sweetness and a little bitterness. For food we ordered the shrimp and corn patties, and the pan roasted salmon. The shrimp and corn patties were delicious. It was packed with multiple flavors and it was seasoned really well. The pan roasted salmon was cooked to perfection. It was flaky, and seasoned very well. It came with Ramen noodles that I thought were going to be temperature hot however, they came room temperature which was fine. They were seasoned very well. The ambiance was very nice. It gave like 1950's/ 1970's vibe. Old marble tables, antique pictures on the walls. It seemed like the building use to be a house prior to it becoming a restaurant. It was a great time. If you are in the Hampden area I recommend giving this restaurant a try. I am looking forward to visiting again for dinner. Cheers!!

    I've been wanting to go here for a while since it's got a predominantly rum based cocktail list…read more But what caught me off guard was that roasted beet and goat cheese. It's a must have, and honestly brightened my day. The crunch from the pistachios, good olive oil, and golden beets? Hell yeah. Sat at the bar since I walked in onna whim, asked for a recommendation and ended up with a tiki drink that I didn't realize was maize liquor. (I hate maize/corn liquor) and I did my best to power through it. It honestly wasn't a bad mix, I actually enjoyed the other flavors and the garnish baby corn, but I think the bartender could tell it wasn't my speed and set me up with a beer and made my night. The beer selection here is pretty good, with a lotta local varieties. What cracked me up was the lady next to me cracking back a few lemonade natty lights. Cute date spot, but if you're looking for a nice lil cocktail at the end of the night, this is a great spot. If you're a group of 2 or more and you want a table, make a reservation. This place gets packed!

The drinks... oh, the drinks are so good. Mai tai Mondays are awesome. Once in a while, they do a rum education series, so they do want to educate their patrons about the various rums that they have available. The place is kinda small at first glance, but there is more seating upstairs. Sometimes, you have to wait to be seated. If it is slower, then you can pick wherever you want to sit. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I don't think I have had one bad encounter.
