Super cool vibe here and the folks are friendly. Each patron orders at the bar and sits wherever they desire. I ordered a spirit free drink called Paridise Lost and I loved it. All patrons should enter from the side door and the lights are dim to set the mood here. I will be back.

Words can not explain the level of excitement I experienced at W.C. Harlan. I had the Caffe Pistachio and my taste buds are still recovering from delight. The prices definitely fit the work crafted in every drink. I can not wait to go back and learn more about this little gem.

What an absolutely incredible space. All of the glowing reviews before mine are spot on. Real candlelight, music perfect at setting the mood, and the drinks? Holy mother-of-pearl are they DELICIOUS. And the bartenders do NOT skimp on the alcohol. If you’re looking for a flavor experience, then THIS is the place to go.

Beautiful aesthetic and genuine bartender. The dark lighting inside took me aback, as photos did it no justice. The ambiance was phenomenal — all around a perfect experience and one of the coolest bars we’ve been to!

The number 400 marks the door of an unassuming Remington rowhouse with a corner porch, the only indication that you’ve arrived at the right location. Once inside the side door that is the bar’s entrance, the candlelit gloom reveals carefully curated items inside peeling walls — a condition that made this former contractor blanch and do a double take.
The size of the crowd waiting patiently for their drinks is a testament to the speakeasy’s popularity, and the cocktails are creative and innovative. I had a Tutti Frutti, a tequila based concoction that would have turned me off for the name alone but it was very good, not sweet at all. We also tried a pistachio coffee and the drink of the day, both cocktails creatively hand-crafted. The less adventurous of us had a Negroni from the regular menu.
Overall, this was a good place to while away the time while we waited to be called to our table at Clavel.

Cool cocktail bar. Very dimly lit, gives speakeasy vibes. Drinks were great and well priced. Not very big so could see it getting crowded if busy, but still worth going. Good place for a nightcap. Loved it.

One of my favorite bars in Baltimore! Excellent candle-lit ambience, delicious and unique drinks/mocktails, great meet-up spot and conveniently close to Clavel. Does get quite busy and crowded at times so seating may be tight, and service can be slow as a result, but understandable!

I’ve been on a recent quest to check out all the speakeasy style cocktail bars in Baltimore. W.C. Harlan is a cute speakeasy style cocktail bar. There’s only a sign outside that says “Enter” so it’s a blink and you’ll miss it kind of place. Parking is street parking you’ll have to find.
It’s a very small place with bar seating and some tables in the back. I tried going on a Saturday night once and it was too crowded for me and I didn’t stay but some people might like it crowded. I came back during the week and it was much more cozy and intimate. The place is only lit by candlelight which is really cool. Most people were there either with close friends or on a date.
This is a cocktail only bar, no food. You have to order at the bar and pick up the drink yourself if you are sitting by a table. They make craft cocktails with high quality ingredients. I really like the barware and glasses they used for the drinks. I got to try the pisco sour, traditional daiquiri, and amaretto sour. The amaretto sour wasn’t on the menu but the bartender gladly made me one. It was my favorite drink. I think this establishment’s real draw is it’s Amaro selection. I didn’t try it this time but they have a huge Amaro selection and Amaro flights so you can taste different ones. The price range for drinks was about $10-$20.
The only thing I didn’t like is that even though I had to order the drinks at the bar and pick them up myself, they have a 20% automatic gratuity on all drinks. I like to tip but at that high percentage, for already expensive drinks, they should at least bring the drinks to you even if you order at the bar. This automatic gratuity is mentioned on the menu.
Bluebird Cocktail Lounge is still my favorite speakeasy style cocktail bar in Baltimore but overall I had a good time at W.C. Harlan. The drinks were good and I would go back.

This place is such a hidden gem. I love that it’s in a very nondescript, mysterious location. The vibes are immaculate and I had the best cocktail of my life here (caffe pistachio) and they are delicious and reasonably priced. My only criticism is that the music was a bit odd, it felt like I was in a yoga studio. otherwise i would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique, true speakeasy vibe for an after dinner cocktail.
