Brendan Dorr and Eric Fooy opened Dutch Courage in 2019 as Baltimore's first gin-centric cocktail bar, filling a 1,500-square-foot rowhouse on North Charles with roughly 150 bottles of gin, genever and old tom, plus a private courtyard out back. The printed menu carries a boxed Spirit Free section rather than an afterthought list: the N.A. Groni (Giffard's NA aperitif, botanical 'gin' sirop, Tortuga jasmine kombucha, orange bitters and orange oil), the First Lady with Seedlip Grove 42 and Opia NA sparkling chardonnay, the Bird of Paradise on Ritual NA rum with Roots Divino Rosso and pineapple gum, and the Clear Cityscape stirring Ritual NA whiskey with Pathfinder NA amaro. Two NA wines by the glass, Athletic Upside Dawn and Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher round out the section. The zero-proof cocktails run $13-14 — the same as the gin cocktails a few pages earlier, which tells you how the bar files them.

While Brendan Dorr and Eric Fooy's Old Goucher bar focuses on gin, it continues to impress with non-alcoholic options, as well.
