Swill Apothecafe By Blacksmiths

On Thursday, March 5, 2026 I had the pleasure of dinning at this establishment located in the Pigtown section of Baltimore, Maryland when arriving I had no idea what to expect. To be on the safe side, I ordered the chicken wings, OMG as a country boy from the south I grew up eating chicken wings to my delight I’ve never tasted chicken wings like this in my 80 years of life, the wings were served with potato slices that melted in your mouth and a small green salad that complimented the presentation. The atmosphere of this intimate establishment with art surrounding the rustic brick walls radiated the warmth of a relaxing place to be after a long day. This restaurant is classy but not fancy. The chef and owner is warm and personable and gives you the feeling of being home. I strongly recommend you treat yourself and visit the establishment.

First, let me apologize for not uploading a photo. The food was that good. When I eat, I eat.. if you stop by please try the chicken and waffles, blackened salmon and fried grits, fried Mac and cheese bites and the whiting fish sandwich. Yes, I had it all. The vibe, the ambiance, decoration, music, food, drinks and customer service is worth it!!! My new spot here in Baltimore. ❤️❤️❤️😊❤️… I managed to get one😄😄😄

We’ve had the most amazing experience. This place has the best vibe. Completely chill. Please order the grilled grits. Have a nice martini and shop and feel good about your day. I just can’t say enough…. And Heather has an extremely magical personality that just draws you right in. And don’t forget the sage for the crystals…

I found this brunch place on Groupon for my boyfriend's birthday. The voucher included an entree of $15 and bottomless mimosas. Our reservation was at 1. We got seated at 1:10. The service was extremely slow b/c there was only one waitress. When ordering I was told I could not use my Groupon b/c of what's going on with the CIAA. So I ended up spending money I really didn't have on bottomless mimosas & 2 entrees. The food was amazing , flavorful, & fresh. The atmosphere was Afrocentric & relaxing. The mimosas weren't that great there was no flavor to them I had to ask for flavor but that even took a while to get due to there being one waitress. Hopefully I can use my Groupon next visit. The good thing was the waitress took off the bottomless mimosas b/c we only had one a piece .

My experience here was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell everything is made with care. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was clean and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!
