Annabel Lee Tavern

While Baltimore might not be the most romantic city that comes to mind, love is always in the air at Annabel Lee, named for Edgar Allan Poe’s object of affection. The interior is dark and intimate with merlot-colored walls, flickering candles, and lines of poetry pretty much everywhere you look. Ideal for date night, Annabel Lee has excellent food options, including duck-fat fries, Buffalo mushrooms, and plump crab cakes with little filler. Cocktails are all Poe-themed and we love the Evening Star with Pikesville Rye, smoky apples, cinnamon, and habanero bitters. Look for local beer on draft including, yes, the Annabel Lee White.
