Looking for someplace new to enjoy dinner and drinks? Consider heading over Baltimore Built Bistro. This casual and trendy eatery just opened its doors a couple of months ago, but it’s already built up a loyal clientele, thanks to tasty fare and an ambiance that emphasizes cozy comfort. 

The menu features starters like smoked mozzarella and bacon sliders, as well as crab avocado wontons, which reviewers say pair well with the house cocktails (go for the elderflower-infused gin and tonic if you want an updated classic). In fact, this place kind of specializes in the snacks and cocktails combination, so keep it in mind next time you’re looking for a quick bite after a movie or want to meet up for happy hour with a few friends. In the mood for a full meal? No problem. The kitchen’s shaved ribeye sub is a hearty and satisfying customer favorite, as is the roasted eggplant sandwich piled high with pesto and roasted peppers.
