Baltimore's Best Drinks for Sharing
What makes great drinks go even better? Sharing, of course. Unless you’re a creepy, angry old drunk with a George Thorogood fixation, it’s the added company that makes going out for drinks so much fun. So why not round up a couple friends and check out these awesome libations that are perfect for groups.
Beer Tubes at Claddagh Pub
Who says your beer has to be boring? With one of Claddagh’s beer tubes, your next fill-up will be waiting right in front of you — for however long 100 ounces lasts with your group. (2918 O'Donnell St.; 410-522-4220)
The Hubcap Margarita at Nacho Mama’s
Don’t be greedy. This margarita, served in a silver hubcap, contains enough alcohol for four individual drinks. The standard comes with the house margarita, but Nacho Mama’s gives you and your friends the opportunity to choose your favorite ’rita on the rocks. (2907 O'Donnell St.; 410-675-0898)
Umami Punch at RA Sushi
Though 60 oz. and served in a fishbowl, this formidable mix of Southern Comfort, Amaretto Disaronno, cold sake, liqueurs and topical juices is perfect for two or more. (390 Lancaster St.; 410-522-3200)
Yard of Beer at Owl Bar
It’s what it sounds like. Order a yard of any of the Owl Bar’s draughts and you’ll receive it in a three-foot-long glass. We recommend you find a drinking buddy to tag team the 48 ounces involved. (1 East Chase St.; 410-347-0888)
The Berger Shake at Abbey Burger Bistro
When it comes to this milkshake, featuring Baltimore’s beloved Berger Cookies and Taharka Brother’s Berger Cookie ice cream, you’ll want to add a second straw. Like all good shakes, this one will sit heavy on your stomach if you choose to go it alone. What makes this dessert even better is its boozy additions: one shot of Stoli Vanil vodka and an ounce of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur. (1041 Marshall St.; 443-453-9698)
Mimosa Pitchers at Little Havana
Sunday mornings just got even easier. Take your date to Little Havana’s brunch (Sunday, 11 AM–3 PM) and share a pitcher of bubbly and OJ. There’s no better way to forget that Monday morning is around the corner. (1325 Key Hwy.; 410-837-9903)
