Annabel Lee Tavern - Baltimore

So I?ll be honest, I came to this tavern hoping to pick up some Edgar Allan Poe merch because the museum was closed the day I was in town. They only really had merch for their tavern. BUT! The food was good, the drinks were better, the place was charming, and I?m absolutely going to come back the next time I?m in Baltimore! I?m recommending this place to all my friends! The only reason I?m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it certainly looked like the gift shop they

Great little corner establishment. Opened at 4pm on Saturday. Food was pretty good. Southwest risotto was a real risotto and the Mac and cheese was homemade but what really made this place special was the classic music and the great artwork everywhere dedicated to Poe and Baltimore. The wait staff was on point with keeping up drinks and conversation (tavern style : . I loved it.

As a literary nerd and appreciator of small bars, I cannot say enough good things about the Annabel Lee Tavern. Nice vibe. Great cocktails, tavern fare, and service. Delightful EAP theme. The only thing missing was a heart beating under the floorboards. A must-visit for lit nerds and cocktail enthusiasts alike.

Having spent 20+ years in the neighborhood (moved in 2008), I love seeing the neighborhood bars reinvented like Annabel Lee Tavern. Our first visit was just before Christmas, business was steady, but not loud and crowded. A firepit outside the front door underneath strings of lights were inviting, online reservations for two at 8 were easy to make. Food was fresh, tasty, balanced in flavor, and the service was friendly and unintrusive but attentive. It touched all the bases for us, we'll be back!

Great food, great drinks and amazing staff. The chef even came out and checked in with everyone!
