The Duchess | Baltimore, MD

Quick overview: Located just next door from Baltimore’s remaining non-alc bottle shop, Hampden’s Modern World, is The Duchess, a cozy British pub serving Chamorro — from Guam — cuisine.

Non-alcoholic offerings: Anna Welker, former beverage manager at Topside by Revival and party responsible for Hyatt’s whole Zero Proof / Zero Judgments menu program, is beverage manager at The Duchess, so you can bet on the zero proof offerings being delicious and inclusive.

Laura’s Field Notes: Hirie’s Homecoming is exquisite. Served with an expressed lemon 🍋 peel, the beautiful citrus aroma greeted me as I took a sip of the cold liquid (kept frigid by the large block of ice in the center of the glass) and immediately recognized The Pathfinder, but in a totally new outfit: surrounded by macadamia orgeat, earthy and aromatic Earl Grey tea, and some salinity courtesy of celery bitters.
