This place is very unique to say the least. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I will give kudos…read moreto the ambiance of a normal old school bar that caters to mainly the black gay community and everyone seems to know each other very well. I believe this is the only one in town. It looks really outdated and just dirty behind the bar. The drinks are cheap and strong which is why people probably come back. Also, there is no food, don't come hungry like I did. The owner is super sweet though. Looks like he has definitely experienced life. Everyone really loves him.

The decor is a mixture of antique inspired stuff, pictures, and some copies of hand drawn things. They do serve food, but it's mostly finger-food items like a grilled cheese or hummus or pigs in a blanket. Overall, I can't wait to come back for more drinks and to chill with friends.

Clientele is mostly men (thank god); various ages/demographics make for a nice mix and some potential hook ups. Upstairs can be hit or miss music wise.

Recently visited for a friends bday outing…read more While here I had the mini crabcakes and a few drinks. The crabcakes were good. Ample fresh crabmeat in every bite. The sauce had a delightful kick to it. To wash it down I had a glass of Rose and the Nightswimming drink. Both drinks were good. Adequately boozy. The vibe of Bloom is very chill and intimate. The decor is a plush dark velvet. Service was good. I'd definitely visit again.

This dark and moody little spot off the lobby of my hotel was the perfect place to stop for my…read morefirst cocktail in Baltimore and to enjoy a bevvy before heading out for dinner. The vibe here definitely gives 1970s, and the small, intimate space would be the perfect spot for a date night or ladies night. Since I was solo, I sat at the bar and ordered a delish Ocha Kudabai from their newly-released spring cocktail menu. I also had fun talking to the bartender, who was knowledgeable about literally ALL things Baltimore (and made a mean drink as well). Highly recommend not skipping this place if you're staying at (or near) Hotel Ulysses.
