    I've had this cocktail bar on my list for a while now. I've been to Bloom's and Coral Wig so I'm glad I finally made it to Ash Bar! It was a quiet Friday evening. Sat at the bar and had great service by Jared and Emma. I enjoyed the "Wishful Drinking" cocktail - it was an excellent! It's mezcal based and wasn't overly strong. I would get it again. I browsed the food menu but I wasn't hungry at the time. I would visit again and I'll try some food and other cocktails. Cheers to 2026!

    Ended up coming to Ash Bar after we tried to get into Bloom but it was packed. It's a very cute like cocktail bar that gave me Art Deco vibes. Our server was very nice and helpful. She brought us water right away. We ordered a round of margaritas and my friend ordered the cheesecake, which she didn't enjoy at all. The bar wasn't crowded at all but the bartender took almost 20 mins to make our drinks. The server would keep going to the bar to check on our drinks and they were still not started. When they were finally at the table, we enjoyed them. Very well mixed. Ash bar is such a great place for cocktails and conversations. I would definitely come back. I hope the slow service was just an one time occurrence.

    Very unique bar/restaurant. It has a very hipster vibe to it. They have a small selection of apps and entrees. Crab dip and salmon were both excellent . They were slammed and still did a good job with service.

    We stayed at the Ulysses for Valentine's weekend and had a reservation here for dinner. The servers and bartenders were friendly and attentive despite being super busy on a Friday night. Drinks were strong! Although we weren't hungry and mostly had snacks, the food was quite satisfying and delicious. We also had a couple mochas in the morning before heading out for breakfast. The space is beautifully decorated with vintage brown accents and lots of plants added for coziness. The space is great to lounge around before checking in or after checking out.

    So I have traveled for business my entire adult life and dined in 100's of hotel based restaurants. The Ash bar brunch this week was fine but definitely not what a traveler in town for the weekend would consider was a winning complement to their stay. Ambiance: 5 stars! If I could give it 6 I would. The redevelopment of Ulysses property was wonderful. The Ash Bar ( and its companion Blooms) are decor snapshots from the 1930's. Food: Brunch was sort of a mess. Pastries were mostly out of stock. They has a brunch but the quiche was also out that day. The salmon and other basics were fine ... but nothing special. Prices were fair so that's good .. but honestly I would pay more for better quality. Service: Friendly and accurate but needs staff augmentation professional oversight. The waiter was really nice ( that can't be trained!) but he was dressed like he was going to the hardware store not serving in a boutique hotel dining room. I don't need them in bow ties but ripped jeans and untucked shirts seem blow standard. He just needed training. The food runner was really useful because there was only one server for the 10+; 3-4 seat tables. Hey.. its hard to staff and operate a restaurant profitably. But The Ulysses has a captive audience. My advice... stay in the hotel, drink in Blooms.. but find somewhere else to eat in Mount Vernon.. there are tons of places.

    Ash Bar was the first stop for my best friend's birthday. We came in at 5:00 si we caught Happy Hour and ordered a bunch of appetizers and a couple of drinks. She loved her French 75 and I enjoyed the White Sangria. Our spread of appetizers included the Pickle Selection, Maryland Crab Dip, Daily Bread with a shoyu butter, and Ramp Butter Mussels. I wish I had a pound of the shoyu butter. The golden beets were the star of the pickle selection for me, but the pickled pepper was amazing too. I was disappointed in the size of the mussels. The flavor was delicious, but I would not order again because of how small they were. The crab dip had a good flavor and came out sizzling, but it was enough lump crab for me. My bestie loved her oysters. We also ordered a House Salad that was delightful. Our server was great! She had a lot of knowledge on all the menu items.

    Ash bar is such an aesthetically pleasing place! Loved the colors. Picture perfect decor, very uncomfortable seating if you're sitting at a 2 or 4 top table. Between the four of us we tried The Vesper (my favorite by far), French 75's, Sangrias, and Sidecars. Everyone loved their cocktails and opted for seconds, some of us thirds. We tried the bread basket of the day (sourdough) with whipped butter. It had a nice sweetness to it, almost like honey wheat. We enjoyed it. We tried the 24 hr potatoes fried in duck fat it was a total flop for us. We needed salt, they were greasy, pass for me. We tried the crab dip. It was only okay, rather watery. For entrees two of us tried Shrimp Diablo (not listed on the website but on the physical menu at the restaurant). Loved it! I had the Steak Frites, really tender and tasty, huge and thick. 3 people ate from that steak. I enjoyed it but wouldn't get it again. We loved the fries. My other friend ordered the Caesar salad and added a chicken cutlet. It came out fried hard and a price tag of $34 bucks. Tasty Caesar though. For dessert, two of us ordered the Ginger cake - tasty. Two of us ordered the Hazelnut Brownie. LOVED! I'd go back to that alone. Highly Recommend! Get cute and go!

    The lighting really sets the mood. It's lit dimly with the perfect amount of dim lights. The furniture and wallpaper were very unique. The floor work in addition to the crown molding on the ceiling gave it a really elevated look. The staff was extremely friendly-I was greeted warmly not only from the hostesses but also from other staff that were walking around the lounge area. The chef even spoke with me as he passed by and gave me a recommendation. Due to the glamour of the location I felt extremely underdressed (as I went straight after work with casual attire), but the staff assured me that everybody is welcome and that there's no dress code - and sure enough other people rolled in dressed down but definitely will come back dressed up! Leroy and Jessica were my servers and they were an amazing team. They were very attentive and held conversations with me. They do have happy hour if you're interested in trying samples of food. For appetizers I had the 24hr pressed potatoes which tasted like a very elevated hash brown. The garnish on top was an exciting twist of flavor and texture. For entrée I had The pan roasted chicken which the chef recommended and it was exceptionally good! Very flavorful and a great portion. I also had some of my friends dish which was the crab and it might have been the best crab cake I've had in a while. It was truly LUMP crab and a huge portion with flavor to match. The coleslaw paired really well with it. For dessert I had the Mille Feuille which tasted like a fancy toaster strudel with mango and pineapple filling wrapped in a sugar cookie. The bar was exquisite and the drinks were large and STRONG. Highly recommended this location.

    Despite a swanky interior, friendly service, and a great idea for a menu, Ash Bar's food falls flat and leaves a lot of room for improvements. I made reservations for a Saturday night for my fiancé and I, along with 2 friends. While we had a fun time, our server was friendly and helpful, the food was just not good. The space itself is beautiful and it's hard to believe you're in Baltimore anymore! Cocktails were pretty good, I loved the stemware. The hot toddy was great. The mezcal cocktail was good too! Unfortunately all the food wasn't very good. We started off with the potatoes - I expected so much! But they were not tastier than hash browns. The creme fraiche and roe were an attempt to jazz them up, but they added nothing. There were a big disappointment. For entrees, I got the bucatini, it was way too salty and overall just blah. My fiancé got the sausage, it was fine but ok and for $24, was disappointing. Our friends both got the flounder, and again, only ok. Neither of them loved it. I love a small menu, but the benefit should be that everything on it needs to be killer. The waiter also forgot our bread, not a big deal but didn't help as we already didn't love the food. I'm not sure if it's the chef or the menu, but the food at Ash Bar was bad. I think it's worth coming to just for cocktails but we do have tons of great cocktail bars in the city. I wouldn't recommend this and we probably won't be back without a huge overhaul.

    My girls and I came to Ash Bar for Galentines day brunch. I first want to comment on the decor, it's so beautiful,cozy, and vintage. It's warm and inviting. Honestly the perfect place to have conversations. I ordered the croque madame as my meal. It was delicious. Also the salad, I'm pretty sure it's just massaged in oil and salt but it's sooo god. Definitely recommend for a ladies brunch or a cute date night.

She it made seem taboo. Sooooo...I go stand by the doorway and after 1-2 mins I ask her what does she recommend I do...then she tells me I can stand at the bar. After that it took over 45 mins before the bartender acknowledged me. The bartender then tells me that they are not serving patrons who are standing because they're busy. The manager tells me to stand in a specific spot and the bartender was like I am not serving standing people..my thought: "this place does not want to make money" The bartender even comes back around and let's me know that someone is about to get up, which I did appreciate. Unfortunately, I do not recommend!!! Its not worth the hassle. Support a business that respects and appreciates your patronage.

This was a post dinner bar visit so we mainly had drinks and added a few treats: colossal shrimp cocktail and warm butter cake. The colossal shrimp cocktail contained some of the largest prawns that I've ever had. They were fresh and perfectly prepared but one was enjoy to fill you up. The warm butter cake was sinfully good! Warm, soft, and sweet. The drinks were AMAZING! I ordered the Recurrence Eternal which contained gin, pear, and champagne. There were other ingredients in there but I wanted to spotlight these few. This was the perfect drink which will creep up on you LOL but it was sooooooooooo good. My boyfriend enjoyed his whiskey drink as well.

I have never been splashed in the face during the shaking of a drink that was being made by the bartender. The bartender was of a different race and seemed annoyed by my presence from the jump. I had been splashed in the face twice until a customer of his race came and sat next to me. I did pay attention to his behavior while the woman was seated next to me and his drink mixing wasn't as aggressive. I had to go to the bathroom during my visit and told him I would pay before going to the bathroom so he wouldn't make any assumptions about me. I asked him to keep my drink behind the bar because the woman was still seated next to me. I came back and the woman eventually left. I was still finishing my drink and I was splashed 2 additional times. The last time I made him aware of what he was doing. His apology was disingenuous and passive aggressive. I left after this even though I had intentions on ordering desert and listening to the musicians that were about to get started. I did inform the manager about my experience prior to leaving. I'm leaving the review bc the experience still bothers me. If they have cameras at the bar I'm sure my reaction to the splashing can be observed.

It was late night and I stayed here about an hour (closed the spot ha) and I was able to enjoy a mini impromptu concert by another patron Ebony, as Kyle was sweet enough to play some of her music.

The gentlemen who answered the phone was so kind, and was able to squeeze us in on the fly on a Saturday night, and they weren't slow. Got there super early because I was already in the area, and my wife and I decided to have an old fashioned and an espresso martini at the bar while we waited and they were excellent. The ambiance was upscale but still managed to be relaxed and comfortable. We had a lovely dinner, the waiter was busy but was still attentive and patient. Our whole experience was awesome, so we were already going back in the future. Yesterday I realized a mistake on my bank account from the bar charge, so I called around 6 pm and spoke to the same gentlemen as before. He got all my info and promised he'd call back in 5 minutes. I didn't really expect 5 minutes because I know how crazy the dinner rush would be at an Italian restaurant with a Wednesday wine special. Not even 3 minutes later he called back, and explained what happened, fixed it and I got a follow up text immediately letting us know the refund was already in process. Now, I've been in the service industry and I was a bartender, so I understand that I'm going to be a little biased here but from beginning to end Benny's went above and beyond. They clearly appreciate their customers and love their work, it shows.
