We come back here again and again... never a disappointment! Cal and Omar are amazing crafty bartenders! We send all of our friends.. the food is delicious and the cocktails are as well. I recommend the OG...yum.

Love this spot -- highly recommend! Chef Anthony has created a true gem in Annapolis. The cocktails are inventive and fun, and he has menu offerings that are ahead-of-the-pack. (The catfish cakes are incredible!). Lots of Annapolis restaurants have similar menus.... Parlay is reaching out and being more inventive, a much needed addition to the scene here. Great hospitality (event when it's super busy). And the hotel above is also great! Be sure to ask Anthony if there's a 2-martini special!

The Parley Room is an absolute gem! They recently hosted an awesome deal with 47-cent Orange Crushes, and it was such a hit—there was a fantastic turnout! Not only were the drinks on point, but the food was delicious as well. It’s so refreshing to see a venue that isn't afraid to stand up for what they believe in. It adds an extra layer of meaning to supporting them. We’ll definitely continue coming back to support Parley Room and enjoy their great vibe, incredible food, and drinks! Highly recommend!

The Parley Room is a gem hiding in open sight. It overlooks Main Street going down to City Dock, but its entrace is around the corner on School street, at street level, at the back of a terrific terrace with one of Annapolis' best views of the State House dome. The restaurant's 2nd floor window view is an overview of West St., while its School St. Terrace is a first floor view from below of the dome. This somehow makes it hard to find, although when you do, you feel in on a great secret, hiding in open sight, as I say. It's not hard to find it once you do. But unassuming excellence is what the Parely Room excels at. It does the ordinary with such good taste, good judgment, good execution, that it surprises and delights. Everything is good quality in good taste, even the decor. It all feels so nice, so relaxing. The menu is limited, but well limited, and you can't quite figure out what makes their egg salad so good. It's only egg salad, just inexplicably delicious egg salad. And who knew that burrata with peaches is such a good idea? Tuna tartare that beautiful, at that price, in Annapolis? And I don't know what makes that octopus Spanish, but I know it makes it delicious. Delightfully delicious. And when I go for a bottle of wine, the well curated short-list is all the better for being short, and I'm surprised there's a Moulin a Vent on offing, and that it is such a delightful one. The bartender chats me up intelligently, but also knows when to stop so that I can savor my carbonara and bottle of Beaujolais. Then there are the cool cocktails on the Summer afternoon on the patio under the dome: classic cocktails with a hipster turn. Somehow both old and new, both classic and cool. I love the intelligent comfort and comfortable intelligence of the Parley Room. It knows how to make a simple but genuine pleasure out of wild mushrooms on a croissant out on the deck on a beautiful day with a glass of rose under the Capital dome; or a lunch at the bar of a winter afternoon indulgent with wine and surprisingly good gnocchi, given I don't like gnocchi. But I do like them at the Parley Room.

Just come. “J” our bar tender took excellent care of us and added to the overall experience. Had the classic Old Fashioned, flawless. Vibe is chill and warm on a Saturday afternoon.

Came with a friend on Sunday afternoon, bartenders were attentive and friendly ready to offer recommendations. Drinks are well made and look great, cool vibe in the place intimate but fun.

This is a must visit if you’re stopping through Annapolis or if you’re a local. The vibe is 1920’s, both in terms of decor and the cocktail menu. The appetizers are absolutely delicious and creative and there are no TVs to distract from good company. It’s located in the heart of Main Street in downtown Annapolis. You’ll enter from the stairs on the left of my Vida Taco Bar (see my photo). The drinks are great and the appetizers are absolutely delicious. The patio faces the state house so you feel like you’re getting a historic experience. Can’t recommend this business enough. (I was here at 1pm so my photos don’t show a big crowd, but at night it comes to life). If your server and bartender is Omar, you’re in good hands.

We held our daughter’s Welcome Party before her wedding. I can’t recommend a better place for a gathering. Anthony and staff knocked it out of the park with custom craft cocktails individually chosen for the bride and groom. Guests complimented that they were the best cocktails they have had- especially the Aviation. They also created a chocolate rimmed mint flavored martini. We started working with Anthony several months before the event and I knew that we were in extremely capable hands. He took ownership of the event and suggested appropriate appetizers and desserts for the crowd. His enthusiasm for crafting the perfect event was much appreciated. He also catered a brunch for the bride and bridesmaids the next morning that was so beautiful and appealing. It was such a great weekend.
