Top 50 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in Maryland

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

Alexander’s Tavern is owned by someone knowledgeable about Celiac and offers a multitude of safe gluten-free options with a dedicated kitchen space and fryer! I recommend the nachos and tater tots!

Max Keller

the best gluten free pizza i’ve had in my life and it’s an authentic Napoleon style! the owner is so nice and checked on us our first time as gluten free diners, the pizza is prepared separately but there is gluten in the kitchen so keep that in mind ~ i’ve never had a reaction at verde or had a reaction with delivery - highly recommend!

Grace Moore

Amazing food and service! Very large gluten free menu! I got a the bread service appetizer and a crab cake sandwich!

Riley Chadwick

Everything about True Food is a delight! The cocktails were perfectly balanced and the service from James was absolutely top notch. I typically avoid gluten free options due to the texture, but the gluten free blueberry pancakes are the best pancakes I've had at a restaurant period. My partner loved his matcha horchata and farmer’s hash. I highly recommend giving this spot a try, it’s wonderful!

Kelsey Kramer

Best chicken fajitas ever and really yummy gluten free options! As a celiac, I have never gotten sick from here in the last 2 years I’ve eaten there!

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

They can make almost everything on the menu gluten free and the food came out with an allergy sticker on it! Plus, a dedicated fryer- the truffle fries were AMAZING! No reaction :)

We are not from the area and we're traveling through. We ended up not being able to stop for dinner until 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night. Good luck finding anywhere to eat at that time!! West End Grill was one of the few places that was open. I have a severe gluten allergy, and they had a separate gluten-free menu and separate gluten-free fryer. I got the burger with no bun and hand cut homemade French fries. It was awesome! My husband had the homemade jalapeno poppers and bought another order to go. They were amazing! For being a Sunday night at 11:00 p.m. the place is actually pretty packed, and the service was great! I'm so glad we were able to find the West End Grill and definitely will go there again on our way through the area. Highly recommend!

Kathleen C. Lanza

Amazing gluten/dairy free pizza...highly recommend!

Karly Maroney

Michael is the best server! He always ensures my food is gluten free and marked so I can enjoy delicious Chinese food without worrying.

Jules Rossi

Love sobo cafe!! They are so careful and have so many gf options. I’ve eaten there so many times and never had an issue. The food is so yummy, my gf mom also loves this place. Cocktails are great too!!

Ana Alonso

Amazing food and service! Our waitress Jae was so helpful and attentive. My boyfriend has celiac disease and she took the time to mark up a paper copy of the menu with every gluten free option. We ordered a bottle of wine and the sommelier recommended a great bottle of wine in our price range. All of the food was great! The tapas are larger than at most American Spanish restaurants and are closer to the size of an appetizer. Strongly recommend the duck breast, the shrimp with chorizo, and the crème brûlée.

Victoria Patterson

Friendly trained staff, dedicated fryer, and many delicious gluten free options such as fried chicken.

Tammy Horn

Disappointed in the new menu. This used to be my trusted gluten free and good restaurant. It’s hard to find good gluten free food in restaurants. The ramen has been taken off the menu, ok maybe it wasn’t popular enough. But now the crab cake is no longer gluten free and the Gluten free bread has a different texture. No sure when we will be back as we aren’t impressed with the changes in one of our favorite places. And the parking lot is a mess.

Victoria Davidson

Love the environment. Gluten free menu options, excellent margaritas and knowledgeable staff (in regards to gluten free options). Only downfall is the prices of the drinks...I would have drank more had they been more affordable. Definitely would return though.

Lydia Primich

*Update: 12 hours after meal, still no gluten symptoms!* Very gluten friendly. Had a pizza. Our waiter, Diego, seemed knowledgeable about gluten issues and asked if it was an intolerance or an allergy. I'm pretty sensitive and I didn't have any issues after my meals. Will definitely be coming back! Not going to lie, I get sick most places that claim to offer gluten free pizza. NOT HERE! There are GF options that include entrees and salads in addition to pizza. Website mentions that they worked with the GIG (gluten intolerance group) to develop kitchen procedures, which is why we decided to go there.

Alondra Jasmin

Great service, yesterday i have an issue with an order but Elizabeth help me out and she was very kind and friendly, i had gluten allergies and she made sure to make the right bowl for me, i will definitely go back

Laura

The experience was great! I went there with my family and we got a table right when we walked up to the entrance, the staff were very friendly, and the food was very good. All the dishes came out pretty fast. They have a delicious gluten-free pizza!

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

They have a gluten free menu and as soon as I mentioned it to my waiter he asked if I had Celiac - the manager even came out to talk to me and make sure that I felt safe. I ordered the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna and they were able to substitute the sauce for a GF one! They also checked to see which cocktails were gluten free for me. Highly recommend!

We've been here a few times and it's been great. In the past, we've had Juan and he was wonderful. This time our server was Alex and he was terrific, too. Our daughter has Celiac disease and they were knowledgeable and careful about it. Additionally, a lot of their menu is naturally gluten free.

D'Aydra Allen

Our work dinner was excellent! Everyone found great options on the menu after sharing several appetizers! And there were delicious gluten-free options as well!

Pros: Great food, good amount of parking, friendly staff Cons: Staff not informed about menu items and related food allergies. I was "assured" that one item was gluten free, but it wasn't and I am paying for it.

Charlee Boone

the food is good, our Italian friend always wants to go here and says it's as authentic as you get around there. ive only been for lunch a handful of time but its usually not crowded. some vegetarian options, not many vegan or gluten free.

This is not a great place for people with food allergies. I’ve had several issues in this regard. My wife has a tree nut allergy. She had an almost immediate allergic reaction after eating…tater tots. At first we were very confused, but after checking the menu closely, we saw that a different dish contained fried nuts. Apparently they have one shared fryer that they use for anything for fried. My wife was sick the rest of the night. I on the other hand have a gluten intolerance. They mark items on the menu that are gluten free…but 90% of those items are also fried in the shared fryer. So, they’re not actually gluten free. The wait staff has always been great the few times I’ve been here, but they really need to address how they handle dietary restrictions better.

I tried their birria quesadillas made with corn shells. The meat had great flavor. The birria broth had a touch too much cinnamon for my taste, but it was still good. They were very accommodating with my gluten allergy. The waiter was able to tell me what was gluten-free and what I should avoid. I really appreciate it when the wait staff can answer my questions regarding allergens. It was a busy night. All the tables inside were full. The hostess opened the enclosed patio (with heaters), so I didn't have to wait, which I was totally fine with. Inside was very loud with people talking over the music and other people, so I was grateful to sit on the patio and enjoy my dinner.

Cammi North

Our server, Greg was fantastic! We had a party of 15+, Greg was very attentive, professional and all of our food was out quick. We had a friend in the group that was gluten free and he made sure that the order was made appropriately. Greg made the experience a good one.

Just tried Farmsook for the first time, definitely not the last time. First things first-- one of us eats gluten free. Menu is clearly marked with what is gluten free, and every option we gluten lovers had you could select a gluten free option too! So now that gluten lovers and haters can eat from the same place-- the food? Delicious--- we had a range of things from fried rice (amazing), Panang curry (took me back to a place overlooking the Andaman Sea so many years ago), drunken ramen noodles (new to me-- but a nice change fro traditional drunken noodles), and pad prik king (awesome!). Needless to say, we're so glad we tried this place, were so amazed at how quickly our food came, and we will definitely add this place into our regular rotation. Ain't no better thai to be found, and considering there are several good thai places nearby, it makes Farmsook that much more impressive!

Kevin Wanamaker

This place is amazing. The food is delicious and the service is great. For those that need gluten free, they do not have items marked GF on the menu but the staff has been very knowledgeable and helpful. They have GF pancakes, french toast, and bread. Potatoes are not GF because of cross contamination. Cheesy Grits are gluten free and very good. Once we told our server it was due to celiacs/allergy, she informed us that the kitchen would take extra time to ensure there wouldn't be any cross contamination. Highly recommended.

Kelsey Kramer

Great variety of tasty gluten free options!

Jess R

Super kid friendly, so good and kind about kiddos. Always see tons of families there for lunch on the weekends. Great gluten free options!

Jennifer Mallo

3 diners, 6 small plates, 2 of us had drinks. It was good, not great, but good. Portion size was appropriate. 3 sea scallops nicely seared on the sea scallops plate-- very good. The cauliflower steak was seared with cajun spices. Taste was good, but cauliflower was undercooked. The red beans and rice underneath cauliflower was delicious. Food came out when it was ready and at a good speed. Server was no where to be seen towards the end of the meal. We had to go find them. Management staff was excellent and responsive when there was a concern that we didn't like something. The labeling on gluten free was labeled "gluten sensitive". Both our party and the nearest other party had to ask what that meant. We appreciated the variety of choices for gluten intolerant persons, but the labeling might need to either be tweaked or defined on the menu.

Elwanda Morgan

The food and service at this place are excellent. However, it would be great if they could offer more gluten-free options for those of us who have celiac disease.

Crystal Tracy

Although not close enough to home to be a regular stop for me, I'm always delighted to be in the area around breakfast time, so I can swing in and get their huevos rancheros. I honestly can't review much of anything else in the menu, because that is always what I get. I think they're the best I've had anywhere: generous well-balanced portions of eggs, beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and wherever else. The ambiance is nice too. Very much a local diner vibe, with the clink of coffee cups and murmer of elderly people lingering over their meals and the background hum of the kitchen. The black and white historic photos of the area on the walls are the perfect touch. The dessert options look mouth-wateringly decadent, although not gluten free, so I haven't tried them myself. And prices are decent. Worth checking out.

Ben Fishbein

First time visiting this spot. Really happy with the quality, friendliness, and speed. Stopped in at 11pm and got a couple pizzas and wings and everything was delicious! Gluten free too, pizza was good and didn't cause me any trouble, same with their buffalo wings, Definitely recommend!

Christine Bolyard (UPHOLSTERY GIRL)

Great food good service excellent drinks gluten-free dessert and they've got new seats with no holes in them done by the upholstery girl

James Wachala

Gluten free toast available. Great breakfast. Would recommend

Mike Hillyard

The gluten free pizza was great.

Adam J. Berlier

I have never gone to eat here without the owner Mona herself being super friendly and making sure we are well taken care of. This is a great business. The food is great too! I only wish that there was more gluten-free options.

EJ Hottenstein

A fun brewery vibe and nice location. All of the staff are so friendly and fast—making it a great spot to hang with friends. The tacos are delicious (ask for onions on the side if you aren’t a fan of a large amount per taco), along with the rice/beans. I don’t drink beer (celiac) but their selection was impressive. Good pricing too.

TJ Sprankle

My wife and I have been here in the past. Friends of ours bumped into us tonight and invited, spontaneously, for us to come out with them to dinner. They chose Cork. Kassie, our server, was attentive to my wife's urgent requirements for her gluten intolerance. But the real show stealer was Chef Gordon. Never met one like this before. My wife has had to eat gluten free for many years. No one, and I mean no one, has ever asked her for her name so they can write down her food likes and dislikes for the next time she comes in. Wow. VERY impressive. Overall the food was Very delicious, including the steak and the desserts. The shrimp salad app was a little bland though. But that was outweighed by Gordon's true interest in making sure my wife was happy, and pure happy she was when she ate his fried shrimp, cod and fries. Gotta live that dedicated fryer!!!!! Thank you so much, Gordon, for a great experience.

Dr. Chad Blaker

Excellent food and service. Were able to accommodate gluten free options when restaurant week wiped them out. Thank you as always

D'Aydra Allen

Long wait but delicious food. I was a little bothered that there weren't clear gf selections and that my server didn't know for sure what was/wasn't gluten-free.

Janice Pittleman

The food was just OK. Not much if you’re a gluten-free eater. The grits were not appealing. The iced coffee was weak and tasteless. I’m sure other entrées were better than my omelette. There’s so much this restaurant could do to accommodate gluten-free eaters. Otherwise, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was fine for casual dining.

Amy Poremba

Warm atmosphere, gluten free friendly, super clean, friendly

Richard Dunn

Very good food. A tad pricey. Decent service. Gluten free options.

Tara Kinsell

What a great local spot! Lots of options for me that are gluten free. Everything was delicious. They have live music and other cool events. The staff were very welcoming. The yogurt parfait was a delightful surprise! It wasn't bland at all. The homemade jam in it was amazing! The bread pudding was delicious as well, according to my partner. And my bagel with turkey on it was very good. I was so happy to have that option for breakfast.

Kathryn Cruz

Super tasty food, and really nice staff! Appreciate the gluten free options.
