Our Story

McClintock’s Back Bar was opened with a single mission in mind; to utilize the highest quality local ingredients to make simple, yet refined cocktails that highlight the award-winning McClintock Spirits. We rely on the best locally sourced ingredients to showcase the flavor of Frederick County and promote local farmers, artisans and makers.

By using local ingredients we can maintain the best quality control over everything we use, reduce our impact from transportation and guarantee everything we use is as fresh as possible. So if you are in the mood for a laid back and non-pretentious atmosphere, knowledgeable bartenders and some really really good cocktails, come give us a visit.
