Baltimore's cocktail culture has matured into one of the city's quiet strengths, spread across hidden rooms and revived old taverns. W.C. Harlan in Remington set the tone for the speakeasy style, while Sugarvale in Mount Vernon and The Bluebird Cocktail Room in Hampden carry the craft end, and historic spots like The Owl Bar give the scene its sense of place.
