We are Frederick City's first distillery. We feature fine hand-crafted spirits in a fantasy/medieval-themed tasting room. We offer tours, which detail our process from grain to glass. Must be 21 for tasting and tour.
So much fun! We went to Dragon Distillery for the first time this past weekend. The distillery hosted an AMAZING Valentine’s Day event complete with ax throwing, delicious drinks (try the Dark Knight and the Hot Buttered Rum!), an appetizer and a really cool alcohol infusion experience (can’t wait to see how they turn out!). The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I also want to give extra points for being extremely Covid compliant. My husband and I both mentioned multiple times throughout the event how safe we felt indoors due to the team’s hard work and diligence. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Surelocked In is Frederick's first Escape Room! You and your team have 60 minutes to solve interlocking riddles and puzzles to complete your themed Escape Objective. Do you have what it takes to Escape? Tickets are $25/person. Games can play 2-10 players. Happy Escaping and see you soon!
OMG!!! I've done many escape rooms, but the excitement we met from the beginning of our first room from our Host Rachel was amazing!! I can't even give up too much but she really was attentive, helpful and comical. We did two rooms back to back; the Wild Wild Quest and Tyrannosaurus Rex really worked our mind and made us want more. One of their rooms I'm preparing for in the future, "The Witching Hour" is so intriguing for me to try, but i have to complete quite a few more rooms before we ready for that, lol.

My husband and I were seriously considering electric bikes. I have R/A and a bit of trouble with my knees, not to mention that I haven't ridden a bike in 30 years, so a regular bike was out of the question. After much research, we found Pedego, and then Mimi and Todd. They were safety conscious with masks, and outfitted us with the perfect bikes. We're still getting used to them, but are enjoying them so much. Mimi and Todd were both so helpful in making sure we had the right fit, and all the information we needed, as well as any safety equipment. Todd has great stories to tell, and they're certainly an "All Star" Business.

Baker Park is a 58 acre gem that meanders along the banks of Carroll Creek thru the heart of downtown Frederick. It is bordered by a historic neighborhood full of beautiful homes and only a short distance from Hood College. The park has baseball fields, a playground where we took our granddaughter, a lake, swimming pool, pavilions, a bandshell for summer concerts, gardens, fishing, trails, you name it. As nice as it is now, it must have been unbelievable for a small town Frederick when it was built in 1927.

I has a little trouble finding the entrance near Key's grave. Thankfully it's just inside the gate. There was a small area beside the grave I was able to park in. The grave is a giant monument complete with a statue of Key on top. A billboard near the monument has a button that plays the Star Spangled Banner. I can't review the rest of the grave because Key's grave is as far as I went.
