Owner Jeff Cahill lovingly refers to Bar Liquorice — which he opened in Maryland with partners Tom Looney and Ed Scherer in 2014 — as the “little corner bar that could.” In fact, it has risen to become one of Baltimore’s top cocktail lounges, with a cozy, slightly upscale vibe in a space equipped with chandelier lights and cozy lounge chairs. Bartenders customize cocktails for their customers, and the food is fresh and fun — from the Bang Mi (a cherry-bourbon-and-espresso-infused pulled barbecue pork sandwich with pâté, kimchi, smoked Gouda, and red chili aioli) to Jeff’s Attitude Adjustment, a Nutella bread pudding. Come in on a Monday night for Monday Movies and enjoy one of the creative cocktails or one of the wines selected daily for serving for $4 (a promotion that carries over to Tuesday nights, too).
