With all of the character and diversity that is offered in Downtown Frederick, MD there are great mixologists all around. In my humble opinion here are the best depending on what you are looking for in a drink.
Best Experience: Hootch and Banter
From their award-winning bartenders to their lively atmosphere, Hootch offers an assortment of carefully crafted cocktails that are both refreshing and robust. Great place to just pop in for once drink or to make a night out of it.

Strongest: Firestones
Buckle Up! These skilled bartenders do not mess around when pouring. Always tasty but makes sure you order some of their amazing food if you plan to stick around for more than one. I personally do not mind the pours and enjoy the bang for your buck. +
