Entry No. 16 — the Baltimore file — filed under: speakeasy

Poe's Tower

Perched above the restaurant Midlina, this dark, gothic cocktail lounge is accessed through a hidden bookshelf and leans heavily into Baltimore's Edgar Allan Poe heritage.

The move: Check in with the restaurant staff, step through the secret bookshelf door, and ascend to a candlelit, Poe-themed sanctuary for theatrical, smoky cocktails.
