It would’ve been 5 stars if the server just allowed us more time to look through the massive menu. He walked away and was back in no time.
Steak & truffle fries were AMAZING! Their selection of wine was good as well.
Ambience is so relaxing. The 2 gentlemen that played the instruments were great! Really made my night.
PERCENTAGE IS ADDED TO CHECK AUTOMATICALLY. SERVER DIDN’T SHOW THAT, HE JUST SHOVED THE CARD SWIPER TOWARDS US TO SWIPE. WE SAW IT AFTER WE GOT THE RECEIPT. PLEASE TELL THEM YOU’D LIKE TO SEE YOUR FULL LIST OF WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR BEFORE YOU PAY!

The Elk Room is a true speakeasy — discreetly tucked away, preserving that sense of mystery and magic that makes it so special. The atmosphere is dark, intimate, and effortlessly sophisticated with just the right touch of rustic charm.
Their cocktail menu is exceptional, offering both creativity and balance, and there’s a great variety of small plates and entrées to pair with your drink of choice. I was torn between ordering the Passion Pitt cocktail or the Eternal Sunshine — both sounded incredible — but I went with the Passion Pitt, and it was absolutely splendid. Beautifully balanced, refreshing, and crafted with care.
The staff truly set the tone — attentive, knowledgeable, and efficient. I was greeted the moment I walked in and had my drink order taken within minutes of sitting down. Service like that makes a lasting impression.
We stopped in just for drinks this time, but I’m already planning to return for a full meal to enjoy the complete experience. The Elk Room is the perfect spot for anyone who appreciates craft cocktails, refined ambiance, and top-notch service. Highly recommend.

If you’re in Baltimore and looking for an elevated, intimate cocktail experience, Elk Room is absolutely worth checking out. It’s tucked away like a proper speakeasy should be, and the second you walk in you know you’re in for something special.
First off, whoever runs the hospitality here really deserves credit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and offered the choice of sitting at the bar or in one of their cozy lounge areas. We chose the lounge, which was a great call—the furniture was beautiful and actually comfortable, the lighting was warm and inviting, and the whole space just felt perfectly curated without being the least bit pretentious.
Service was honestly some of the best I’ve experienced anywhere. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and super attentive without hovering. They presented us with their cocktail menu as well as an impressive spirits list. Coming from New York, I’ve seen plenty of well-stocked bars, but Elk Room’s list was legit and clearly put together with care.
Cocktails were top-notch. Every drink we tried was balanced, creative, and well-executed. Prices were totally fair too, with most drinks ranging from about $15 to $22. For the quality and the vibe, that felt more than reasonable.
One of the biggest highlights was the live music. It added such a great layer to the experience without ever being too loud or intrusive. It felt like the perfect soundtrack to an evening out.
Honestly, Elk Room was one of my favorite stops during my trip to Baltimore. It’s the kind of place you want to linger for hours in good company over multiple rounds. Highly recommend for date nights, special occasions, or even just a chill evening if you appreciate a great cocktail in a beautiful space.
5 out of 5 stars for me. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town.

Excellent vibes for a speak easy style bar. Was there for drinks on Valentine’s day.
The servers who checked on us were awesome, and handled the large crowd well.
I had one of the best dirty martinis I’ve ever had here. My partner had their mind blown by a full service absinthe. Knowledgeable staff (pulled off a Brooklyn pretty well).
Hats off to Bang and James!

Found this spot while I was in Baltimore and it’s the real deal if you like a hidden speakeasy vibe. The staff is on point, too. They’re fast and actually know the menu, which is a nice change of pace.
I tried to talk my way into the members-only cigar lounge, but they weren’t having it. Honestly, I respect that they protect the space for their members, even if it meant I was out of luck this time. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the city and want a high-end drink without the pretentiousness. I’ll be back for dinner next time I’m in town.

Cool seductive spot. If you can get a decent seat, it’s the perfect place to bring a date for intimate conversations. The waiters help a lot with craft drink selections but the beverages come out a bit too slow for my liking. I do think it’s worth visiting though, especially before the crowd gets in.

The Elk Room is one of the best bar experiences you’ll have on the East Coast, and a gem in the city of Baltimore. The service is always on point, and makes quality cocktails. The atmosphere is always great vibes and superb ambiance. They have a great food menu to pair with any drink you order.

I cannot rave about this place enough! As a bourbon enthusiast, this place is heaven. They had very rare bourbons at super fair prices on most selections. Some prices were a little high, but overall very fair.
Server was super accommodating if they didn’t have a certain bourbon in stock and offered be comparables. Bartenders were very knowledgeable and friendly.
It is a speakeasy style place, so it’s not well lit as part of the theme, but I will make this a point to visit every time I’m in Baltimore

Pros: Beautiful relaxing atmosphere with a speakeasy historic vibe. Decent food with moderate prices. Nice choice of handcrafted cocktails. Clean They have live music many nights and that music as well as the radio music is at a good volume… not too loud and not so quiet you think you are hearing things!
Cons: Service – Host and waitstaff is a hit or miss. I find some staff to be rather short in temper borderline condescending or rude, while others are the opposite. Furthermore, you may wait for 20 minutes to get waited on when the place is mostly empty, or you may get service immediately. In my opinion, for the price you pay here and what it is supposed to be, one should not have to wait more than 5 minutes to be waited on and all staff needs to respect customers. I do not like to use names here and call out waitstaff 🙂 I just hope that management will discuss their manner and work ethic with all staff to ensure that customers are getting the best experience possible.
Drinks – The drinks are not always prepared the same; sometimes you get a nice strong well made drink, other times, as other reviewers have said, the drinks are watered down. One drink that I had tasted it was literally almost like water with a dash of orange juice!
Long story short with the negatives, there is a lack of consistency with service and drinks 🙂 It should be spot on every time.
