Bourbon and Bowties Since 2015, we've helped strengthen communities and create lasting impact across MD.

Bourbon & Bowties is a 501(c)(3) organization hosting signature events featuring exceptional food, drinks, and experiences, all supporting meaningful charitable causes. Bourbon & Bowties is QG Community Charities' annual charity fundraiser, held each year on the Thursday following the Kentucky Derby. Bourbon & Bowties is the premier charity event of the year in the Baltimore area, and in the last two years, has raised more than $550,000 for charities with a local impact. Bourbon & Bowties is held at B & O Railroad Museum and provides its guests with an outside tent, fine bourbon, spirits, b**r and w**e, and world class ci**rs, all complemented by delectable food from the area’s best dining establishments. Live and silent auctions offer additional opportunities to support our charities. We ask attendees to wear bowties during the day of the event to raise awareness for the charities we are supporting and as a sign of commitment to making Baltimore a little more handsome (or beautiful).

🍰🥃 Life's too short to skip dessert. Or the after-dinner cocktail.

Happy National Dessert Day! We're firm believers that every great evening deserves a sweet ending, and Bourbon & Bowties' Masquerade Ball is no exception. 🎭

What's on the dessert menu? Well, a little mystery never hurt anyone. 😉 But one thing's for sure: delicious cocktails, a perfectly poured nightcap and a little indulgence are always in style.

🥂 Here's to the sweeter side of giving back!

✨ Mmmmm...Banchan at a black-tie ball... Now you have our attention! 🎭

Welcome Bar Alice Anne to this year’s Masquerade restaurant lineup!

The new Fell’s Point corner bar is all about craveable, shareable bites with a Korean influence—think rotating banchan, house kimchi, shrimp toast, pork belly bossam, Korean tots and other seriously snackable surprises. ✨

Whatever they decide to bring, we suggest finding them early. 😉

🎭🥃 An elevated experience awaits at The Masquerade...

Step into the 1729 Cigar Lounge experience and meet Puro Som LLC founder and Certified Cigar Sommelier Tobacconist Josh Kaffel, who will be joining us for the evening with his signature Sine Tempore™ cigar.

Handcrafted in Estelí, Nicaragua. Born from a love of craftsmanship. And fittingly, Sine Tempore means “timeless.”

Because on October 23, we fully intend to lose track of it. 🕰️🎭🥃

✨ Welcome Ammoora to this year’s Masquerade restaurant lineup!🎭

Ammoora brings the sensuous flavors of Syria and the Eastern Mediterranean to Baltimore with a beautiful, modern menu made for sharing—from colorful mezze and house-baked pita to warm spices, grilled meats and seafood, and flavors of pomegranate, pistachio and rose. ✨

What will they be serving at The Masquerade? You'll have to attend to find out... 😉

🦪 National Seafood Month starts today, and we’re celebrating with two names that know their way around Maryland seafood.

The Local Oyster has been shucking its way through Baltimore and beyond for more than a decade. What started with a folding table and a cooler has grown into one of the region’s top raw bar experiences with plenty of personality to boot. 🦪

And from its beautiful lakeside home in Columbia, Offshore The Collective brings a deep appreciation for coastal cuisine, cocktails, and perfect pairings to the table for your enjoyment. 🌊

We’re VERY excited to have both joining the restaurant lineup for The Masquerade this year.🥂🎭
