The Drinkery

Fond memories of Josie tending bar back in the 80s. A local dive then, and very cruisy.

Way to dark in there. Every seat filled. Walked in looked around...I didn't belong so I left. Two guys outside laughed and said She didn't stay long did she.

Hole in the wall. By the way have I said - its a hole in the wall? It has a tight pull up a stool circular bar counter with very unwelcoming staff. The bartender Thomas is always nice when we visit. He doesn't put up with nonense - nor should he. But he's a nice guy. But that's it. It's a sketchy place. Nothing to really offer other than a literal drink. They do offer complimentary gnats in the drinks too frequently. What's up with that? One look at the inside and you can see there's no respect for the customers. They've not invested in it's appearance in YEARS!! It's got ragedy seating, dated counters, needs painting, etc.

My husband and I got married in Baltimore back in 2013 and toward the end of the night, I ended up singing to him at karaoke here. I just came back tonight, and even though it’s not advertised as an LGBTQ+ space, it definitely is. It was so cool to see how the place has evolved. It brought a sense of nostalgia for me. ☺️ I hope the Baltimore community keeps this place going, no matter what shape or form.

Love the Drinkery. Great bar n bartenders. Fun place
