Food scene

It may be a wine bar, but I'm going for their flatbreads! Farily priced for how delicious everything is. Amazing wine selections and suggestions.

They serve food all day, but I'm partial to their breakfast and brunch-time offerings (and it's a little less crowded in the morning time). If you're partial to a boozy breakfast, my favorite is the Mexican Coffee.

Great place to spend a sunny day walking or biking the trails, visiting the butterfly garden, and taking in some fresh air. Has an awesome fenced dog park and dog beach available for 4 legged friends. Walk or bike in for free, cars have an $8 charge (military, first responders free).

If you enjoy botanical gardens, spending an afternoon wandering through here is sure to make you happy. As a lover of all things that bloom, this is a personal favorite of mine.

The Academy as a whole is an amazing place to visit and walk around, but the museum is far more interesting than most college museums given the significance of the graduates historically.

Adult Beverage Scene

Their drinks menu is delicious and their bartenders are talented... both a dangerous and beautiful combination. The food is amazing as well! I would offer a drink recommendation, but after trying them all it's hard to choose!

A brewery within walking distance? Don't mind if I do! Great place for super-local beers and the only brewery in the area. Stop in for a pint (or a few) and some tasty food as well.

Great wine and dine in downtown Annapolis with some of my favorite bartenders and servers. Love the wine flights, but their cocktails are just as amazing. Personally a fan of the Split Pear-sonality and the Jalapeno coctails. Wonderful place for a date or just to have a great drink and meal.

If you're a whiskey fan, this is definitely for you... they've got just about everything in the book. Best chips (french fries) I've ever beheld and the shepherd's pie is stellar!

Consejos para la ciudad

Antes de que te vayas

Check the hours and COVID-centered restrictions

All my recommendations I have personally visited and love, but COVID has changed the way the world does business. Before excitedly going somewhere, please check their hours and how they are doing business in the wake of COVID. Seating may be restricted, schedules may be changed, and reservations may be required. During these times, I recommend planning ahead for any place and trying to get a reservation.
