Level, a small plates lounge: Level Gimlet Oysters and craft cocktails are a specialty of Sailor Oyster Bar. Next time you’re in, have one, then say, ‘Put me in coach! I’m ready!’ to Colin.

When it was discovered that our friend Colin (the captain of a local rugby team) didn’t like being called Coach, the name was solidified. “Like many of our drinks, its name is a dedication to one of our regulars. “The summer 2021 version consists of vodka, cranberry, lime and orange liqueur, topped with soda-making it a bubbly Cosmopolitan over ice.” What’s in the name? That’s an inside joke he’s happy to share. “The Coach Colin’s is a seasonal, sparkling cocktail and one of our staples at Sailor Oyster Bar,” says general manager Sean Clancy. Just like they mix things up on their food menu, they mix up their cocktails, with seasonal takes on favorites. Ice-cold oysters and ever-changing small plates are on the menu at this cheeky treasure box on West Street. Annapolis has loads of adult libations to choose from, but if you’re looking for ideas, these stand-outs are a great place to start. Nothing beats the summer heat like a shady bar and a cool drink. Cocktails on the roof of Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge is a must on these balmy summer nights! Image courtesy of Metropolitan.
