Best Bourbon Cocktails in Baltimore

“When it comes to bourbon cocktails, though, don’t leave without trying the Sakai’s An Old-Fashioned Guy, a simple but profound blend of barrel-aged Elijah Craig, ango and syrup. It’s about as good as they come.”

“Although the barbecue side has yet to open at chef/owner David Newman’s new Hampden/Woodberry bar, the unique cocktails, impressive beer selection, and outdoor patio has locals visiting what’s become known as The Whiskey Open (for the “whiskey bar open” sign in the window).”

“As a bar, Blue Pit offered more than enough reasons to return — a spacious, dog-friendly interior, an idyllic patio, inventive drinks and a thoughtful staff. For the laid-back patron Blue Pit is seemingly aiming to attract, it could be hard to ask for more.”

“The atmosphere is relaxed and low key, which provides the perfect setting where Baltimore singles can meet up and get to know one another.”

‘Next up is Hampden’s Blue Pit BBQ and Whiskey Bar, situated at 1601 Union Ave. Meat options include slow-cooked pulled pork, coffee-rubbed brisket, bourbon-glazed ribs, bratwurst and barbecue chicken. Order a pile of meat straight or served as a sandwich, and pair it with sides like mac and cheese, collard greens, and vinegar- or mayonnaise-based coleslaw. Vegans might enjoy the jackfruit sandwich, with a side of jackfruit coleslaw.

Pair your barbecue with beer or one of the many whiskeys on offer. With four stars out of 241 reviews on Yelp, the eatery has proven to be a local favorite.’
