He does this for safety as the surrounding area is rambunctious. You must bring your own drink if you are drinking alcohol. He has a set up for a small fee.

The vibes are right and the bartenders were nice and chatty, the only reason this place isnt "my" place and doesn't get 5 stars is because they dont make a very good dirty martini and thats like base level. I asked for it extra dirty and I could barely taste the olive brine, I actually had to have him pour more in front of me lol. Also service was a little slow. So for grabbing a quick drink with the girls sure, but staying as a regular nah.

The interior is absolutely beautiful, cozy, intimate and welcoming, with a wide variety of drinks to choose from.

Small place, but it was not overly crowded. Several tvs and a good amount of seats. I will return. One negative thing... lack of A/C.

The decor is a plush dark velvet. Service was good. I'd definitely visit again.

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.

My husband and I enjoyed the convicted ambition, ephemera & gossamer, don fulano reposando margarita, & beguiled with delight. All of which were great! I will say the ephemera gossamer was a bit sweet, which is not my usual; it tasted like the milk left over from fruit loops (not bad but sweeter than I expected). We also enjoyed the beef tartar with the perfect crusted garlic bread slices. Overall, absolutely blown away by this spot! Case and Ted were the perfect combo bartenders that vibed off each other! Cannot recommend this spot enough!

Incredible restaurant. We've been hearing great things about Cazbar for years and finally decided…read moreto go. Was a great decision!! Really interesting menu. We learned quite a bit about Turkish dining, as typically uninformed Americans. The food was great, with nice big portions. The waitstaff is wonderful. Answered all of our questions (we had many). Patient. Observant. Couldn't have been better. We went on a weeknight and it was surprisingly empty. Our waiter said it's usually much busier. And especially so on weekends, mostly due to the belly dancers (Fridays and Saturdays I believe). We'll definitely be returning. Really great restaurant.

If you are looking…read morefor a dining experience that's off the beaten path and still filling and tasty--Cazbar is a great option. I had the stuffed eggplant with peppers, onions and topped with cheese and a rich tomato stew. I loved it and the accompanying pickled onion and tomato were a great counter balance. Friends got the Lamb Moussaka and Shrimp kabob. Plates were large and well seasoned. Towards the end of the night we're surprised with a belly dance performance that was entertaining and fun. The service was attentive. Will definitely return.

Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.

It has couches to sit and bar stools around the bar most nights. Huge dance floor as there is either a band or DJ. The bands play top 40 hits so everyone will hear something they like which is good. I mainly go for the casino and this area to take a break. The bands on the weekends seem to be better but it is hit or miss as they have more than one band on the weekends. Bartenders have been friendly in my experience and pretty fast. 3rd level is open to the casino floor so many people wander through. There is a bar up there as well. I saw the reservation online for the private area and it is comparable for a real club. This place will appeal to a diverse party crowd if you book the 2nd level. Especially for those that like gambling and even those that just want to hang.

They have the,ed nights like taco Tuesday and wine Wednesday. Hookah and karaoke is available in a separate area away from the dining area. Owner comes around and likes to talk to people he hadn't seen before in the restaurant and get there opinions and thoughts on the service and food. Went here with a small group and order a few apps. Ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls, shrimp and chicken fried rice, broccoli bowl with chicken, wings and Mac and cheese. I only tried the wings ( very good), shrimp and chicken fried rice (good flavor but the tail on the shrimp always irritates me). I ordered a bowl of the cream of crab. A bit salty and a little too many crushed up shells for me. I wanted a ribeye steak but they didn't have anymore so I got the t bone. It was cooked exactly how I wanted it (medium rare). Every bite was flavored well. My old fashion was strong and good. I will be going back to try more on the extended menu.
