One Eyed Mike's

The food is fantastic, but let's not lie, the real gem there is the old-fashioned. Fantastic service, and bartenders making the best drink ever. You have to go, it is like art. Put it in the Smithsonian!The place is really cool too. Kind of dark and sexy meets Cheers.

Come for drinks and ambiance. I haven't tried the food, but the bar experience is top notch. It is dark and moody with soft candlelight setting the mood. Along one wall they have a case full of Grand Marnier bottles. We actually learned about this place while having a drink at Jake and Snake's Christmas Bar in New Orleans. Super random. But my wife ordered some marnier, and another patron asked if we had ever been to Baltimore. Why yes, we said. And he said One Eyed Mikes is Grand Marnier central. And he is right. Members get perks, such as an individual bottle saved in their case and displayed proudly like a trophy for being a winner in life.The best part of the experience in my book is the caramel old fashioned. They put the bourbon in a rocks glass, then place a metal strainer on top. They place a sugar cube on it and soak it in a housemadr orange bitters, then light up a blowtorch and flame it in front of you. Dinner and a show. The cube caramalizes and melts right into your glass. The drink is great, a unique old fashioned variation where you can really taste the caramel and orange notes, but it's still boozy. Bonus points for location, right in the heart of Fells Point.

I will be honest, I only had the Caramel Old Fashioned, so this rating is entirely based on that drink, the ambiance of the bar, and the service of the bartenders. My husband and I were in town and stopped in on a Thursday evening purely for this drink. He's a big Old Fashioned buff, and read about this one. It is so perfectly balanced that even someone who doesn't like Old Fashioned would probably love it. Plus, it's entertaining to watch them make it (there's fire involved). The bartender, whose name I can't remember because I'm terrible with names, was amazing. He was super friendly and shared lots of information about the bar and the area. He's a gem and I feel terrible that I can't give him kudos here. This is the kind of bar that you can come to and chat with the people there and they won't look at you funny. The space is also amazing. The front half is an old wooden bar with neat, intricate details. They have an extensive collection of Grand Marnier on display from their club members. It's so different from the other bars around town and makes you want to pull up a stool and stay a while. There is a dining room in the back if you're looking for a sit-down restaurant as well. I didn't check out the patio, but saw a sign saying it was open.

I had a great time at One-Eyed Mike's! I met up with a few friends here and we sat at that bar. They ordered food that I had a couple bites of and enjoyed! We got a couple cocktails and wine here as well and overall the vibe was great. The bartender was cool and personable and made some good recommendations. He also took a shot of Malort with us lol. I ordered a dirty gin martini that I thought was great, and tried my friend's espresso martini which was also good! Some other reviews mentioned it being not great, but the ones she ordered were solid in my opinion. I would definitely return to try out the food!

The food was good but that's where it ends. We were largely ignored by the wait staff and had to flag them down or find staff. The macaron that came with the meal was soft and mushy not to mention none of the staff knew the difference between macarons and macaroons. The ambiance was awful because it was so dark and we had to use the lights on our phones to see the menu. The straw that broke the camels back was a patron at the bar made a comment about giving the person they were with a roophy and the bartender laughed it off.

(Really a 3.5 but bump up bc I live here and we need to support local). This was one of the stops in our bar crawl for my friends goodbye party. I've lived in the city for five years and never made it here! It's off the beaten path in terms of fells point bars but it's classier inside than what the name suggests - thought it was a DIVE bar (looks like it's also a restaurant). We went bc my friend saw they had expressions martinis but I will say (not sure if it's bc we ordered six) the quality was so bad. First of all you can see from my photo the foam is chunky. Like they tried to do a nitro but it was awful. I give it three stars bc of the cloyingly sweet drink that none of us could finish. But the star is the ranch vodka martini. It's so different and good - make sure to ask for the pearl onion! This is also a Grand Marnier bar where you can buy your own bottle for like $250 a year and store and get access to events. The staff was accommodating for a large group of rowdy people so I do appreciate that. I will be back and can't believe I've never been here before!

One-eyed Mike's is located on a residential street. It is a converted rowhome that will surprise you. You open the door and a long bar fills the dimly lit space. Everyone is friendly. The owner is awesome and definitely comes out and chats with you. There are regulars and new guests. All the food is really good and most of the portions are huge. The wedge salad is big enough to split and the chunks of bacon in it are amazing. The coolest thing about One-eyed Mike's is you can be a member of the Grand Marnier club. I would tell you all about it, but just go and find out for yourself.

I came in with a few people on a Saturday night for the first time. It's quite dark with Grand Marnier bottles all over the wall. It's kind of intimidating to be honest. But we were able to sit at the bar and the bartender took our order immediately. I got the espresso martini, which to be honest, I could not finish bc it was waaay too sweet. The manager was also helping to bartend and saw that I wasn't drinking it and asked if I wanted something else. He told me about their ranch or blue cheese Infused martinis so I got the ranch and it was really delicious! He let me try it and then added more olive juice to my liking. I really enjoyed the drink and appreciated that he tailored it to me. There were tables in the back room where people seemed to be eating. The restrooms were clean and stocked. The bar area is pretty small and was crowded.

Truly the best old fashioned in town. Love coming here for a night cap, especially for their "Shot after Dark" special. Tried the outdoor area in the summer and it was so cute to sit out there! The service is always great and I'm glad to see a neighborhood spot remain & thrive!

Speakeasy vibes with awesome bartenders. Attentive service. Food service was closed when we arrived tho. Solid espresso martini
