Golden Eagle

Golden Eagle feels like the cool drinking club your grandpa belonged to in the 1950s or 1960s, but with way better food and less smoking. This Reynoldstown spot serves a mix of dishes that don’t really make sense together, like crab rangoon, okonomiyaki, and duck confit, but still somehow works. They also specialize in classic cocktails, so you can drink a blue Hawaiian or mai tai while you debate with your friends if you could pull off a fedora. Between the exposed wood, art deco metalwork, and giant elk’s head above the bar, this is a place you should sit inside to get the full experience. However, if you really need a reminder of which decade it actually is, there’s a patio outside as well.
