Rye

My sister-in-law (SIL) and I stopped in for what we thought was Mocktail Mondays (according to the website). The bar has a very mellow and laid back atmosphere.I ordered a mock margarita, my SIL ordered an house old fashioned and a Pac-Man Crush. All drinks were good. Although I'm currently not drinking, I can tell by the menu and the knowledge of the bartender they are serious about their cocktails!Chandler, our bartender, was super attentive and warm. He even told us about an upcoming mocktail competition and what non alcoholic spirits he likes to use.

I was looking for a lowkey place to have some cocktails while finishing my online work. This place was fairly empty and had the right vibe. Low lit, hiphop playing. The bartender was laid back and super attentive. Rye has a small menu with drinks that are wildly different: drinks with whisky and sesame, sazerac, caramel, and absinthe. Sagamore, vermouth, maraschino, and bitters. I had the Pac-Man Crush (el dorado rum, mezcal, passion fruit, hibiscus, orgeat, red wine, fernet). The red wine wasn't as overpowering as I thought it would be.I had the Brooklyn Zoo, with sagamore rye, white vermouth, bigallet amaro, maraschino, and bitters. I had this one twice. Bartender recommendation.The My Wife is a Gangster wasn't my jam. Made with Tullamore Irish whiskey, saffron, pear and asian spice, islay whiskey, and sesame. The sesame turned me off. There were a couple of other drinks I had that aren't on the online menu that were good. Lots of herbs and fruit garnishes that came through fantastically. Coin operated boy: sazerac, rye, bitter orange, amaro, citrus, house caramel, and absinthe (the caramel wasn't overpowering).Welcome to the Johnsons: gin, blended apple gastrique, thyme, citrus.There are around eight drinks (minus beers and wells) and some basic bar food (pizzas, egg rolls, popcorn). But totally worth it because it's not crowded, it's quirky, and the bartender is mad badass.Also, they do have mocktail nights and an award winning cocktail class program. Seems like a great place to meet people and build community.

What is there to say-Rye is one of the best cocktail spots in Baltimore. This place is owned by one of the most humble bartenders, who is passionate about making the best drinks. During my 8 years of living in Baltimore, Rye has always been my go-to for a good time and delicious drinks, along with celebrations (i.e., birthdays/graduations). Over the years, they have changed their menu just enough to keep things fresh. Most of their bourbon/rye-based drinks are great, and The Breukelen will always be my favorite (you can ask for it even if it's not on the current menu). The bar area is loud and lively; the back section can be quite low-key with a lot of seating, especially on the weekdays.

I stopped by here after getting some ice cream in the area. The drinks are good and the bartender, Chandler, was nice and attentive. Our cocktails came out so beautiful.

Rye is such a romantic, moody cocktail bar. Great first date spot or for catching up with a friend! The drinks are so unique- I enjoyed the Pink Pony Club so much. The Mule was VERY spicy- they don't mess around with their house made ginger beer! Spiciest I've ever had. The service can be a little slow with only a few people making all these nice drinks, but besides that it's a great experience!!

Stopped by at Rye for a quick drink before a show because I've been wanting to give this place a try! Definitely didn't disappoint!!! We tried the Pink Pony Club and Tell Me Nothing. Both excellent choices. Pink Pony Club is light and fruity, and really easy to drink. Tell Me Nothing is a little more creamy but not heavy! The drinks here are definitely more alcohol forward, but definitely delicious! The space is cute, and there's more seating toward the back. Bartender was super friendly and quick with our drinks as well! Can't wait to come here again soon!!

I recently visited RYE and enjoyed my time! I tried their 'Proof in the Pudding' cocktail, which was a deliciously balanced spirit forward cocktail. It had a slight sweetness but was far from sugary--just the perfect treat. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their unique cocktails that you won't find at every bar. The ambience has dim lighting with a Prohibition era theme. This intimate space is perfect for a chill weeknight outing. If you want a more lively vibe, when there is a DJ. The service was attentive and timely. RYE is a spot worth visiting.

If you want a high level cocktail and a bartender who will perform that magic for you... This is definitely the spot. The drink was 9/10 giving me life as I needed it. The attention to detail with the drink and also attentiveness to us as being guest was amazing. I love the decor in the spot felt like night time even with the sun shining brighter than ever outside. Think only thing that thru me off was those darn chairs.. never got it to wind up to the right level when sitting at the bar. But other wise a great time!!

There aren't many cocktail bars around me but Rye is one of the very few. I remember it being better from my past experiences compared to this previous one. It is a good spot for a date night though. The dim lighting sets a nice tone for the evening but I did find the music way too loud. I felt like I was shouting at my partner the whole night who was just sitting across from me at the high top. When we arrived around 6pm on Saturday, it wasn't too packed but around 8-9pm, it did get more lively. I tried 3 different cocktails just to see how they all compared. My favorite was My Wife is a Gangster. It was light and refreshing. I wasn't a fan of the other 2 - Pimm's Cup and PAC-Man Crush. They both tasted pretty medicine/cough syrup like to me. My partner also really enjoyed only 1 out of the 3 he tried as well.We also shared their Margherita pizza which was ok. Apparently it's from Verde (which I do love their pizzas in general) but this was probably a frozen pizza they baked. It was really thin, had barely any basil, and the crust was a bit hard. Rye is a fun little cocktail bar but their drinks fell short and so did the food. The music is too loud to enjoy the company you're with for too long. Bartenders were fine and the ambience in general is nice but I prob won't be coming back anytime soon.

Rye in Fells Point is the perfect spot for crafted cocktails and good vibes. The drinks are beautifully made with unique flavors, and the cozy, stylish ambiance makes it a great date spot. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or something more creative, Rye delivers with charm and flair.
