The gentleman that served me was sweet as pie! I very much enjoyed the fact that the staff seemed to have such a personal relationship with their regulars - talking about Easter plans and all that comes with it. That's what a neighborhood bar is all about - community. This will certainly be a stop of mine any time I'm heading out on 81. Bonus: ya get to tell your friends ya made it to 3rd base

Was on our way somewhere else and just happened upon Third Base and based on the sign alone, we had to give it a go. So glad that we did! The bartender was super friendly and told us the entire history of the building. You can tell this is a community bar and the regulars are treated like family. When we said it was our first time, they gave us free shots and let us sign the legendary ceiling (which isn't always the case at local bars where regulars are their focus). It was just so much fun, I can't wait to go back.

My car smells like it and I had to immediately get a shower at home. The service and food was terrible. When we sat down the bartender came over pretty quickly, and our first drinks but after that it was down hill. No one told us about their specials. We waited over 1.25 hour for our food. We also weren't asked for refills while we waited the only reason we stayed was bc we couldn't get anyone's attention to get our tab. (The place was mot dead so come on) It was obvious the food was made one meal at a time, apps came out with our food not first. When my food did come out the fries were were lukewarm. The sandwich itself was good but coming from f&b myself this was crazy wait times! We will not be back. We used to come here several times a week, and it's just gone down hill.

What an awesome place to see a show!…read more As a venue, it's not super huge, and the layout is a little bit unorthodox (the tiny stage means that on several occasions, musicians were just standing in the crowd) but the energy is great, and the sound is unbelievable, considering. The quality was better in this little place than in most arenas I've been in. The bar food is decent - nothing that's going to make me rave endlessly, but for the most part I was drunk enough to have enjoyed sawdust if it was fed to me. Drink specials are excellent, I got thoroughly plastered for about 25 dollars (before tip!) I highly recommend; with cheap tickets, cheaper drinks, and a great atmosphere, this place has lept up my list of venues. Will be back!

I am absolutely appalled on the service and professionalism that was conducted at the café 611, Me…read moreand my team had an event in December at the venue, we paid their overpriced fee for space in FREDERICK MD due to having complications with our prior venue. Not even an hour into our event, I had noticed the security at the door being aggressive with the patrons, At our events we invite a community made up of our friends, loved ones and locals that share ideals and beliefs, such as PLURR and Decency. So this off rip didn't sit well with me. I understand someone has to do their job and in fact would want everyone to be checked and ID'd/verified before they enter our show for safety and legal reasons, So I will never get in the way of stopping staff from doing that as their job. What really spiraled the night out of control was when one of our own staff from our collective who we had as a greeter at the door looked uncomfortable so we went to go check on her and she had told us that a secondary man next to the security/doorman who was also checking people in had made inappropriate sexual comments such as asking her to sit in his lap because she looked tired of standing while gesturing towards his genitalia, this happened in the entry hallway. (being dressed up and looking good is not an invite to be inappropriate, we condemn that disgusting behavior to the highest degree). This combined with multiple other patrons complaining about being touched inappropriately as they entered and paid. (This second man, the security/doorman's brother wasn't even authorized to work and was allegedly fired months ago from Café 611 yet he was there "working" with permission from the owner) when I fully heard everything from multiple people. I walked up to the security and asked them to please not be aggressive with our patrons, as mentioned before these are our friends and family coming through and I personally love these people to death. The secondary man then proceeded to get aggressive with me, threaten me and tell me that he would take me out front to the street and kill me, To quote exactly what he said "I don't knock people out. I put them to sleep permanently. Would you like to go outside? Let's go outside" me at this point, I'm absolutely bewildered and the situation escalating (my only words to them in this entire exchange in front of 10+ people was simply asking if they could not speak to our patrons in a condescending or aggressive way) the customers that were entering the building and knew nothing about the situation unfolding were the ones that had to be the to step in between and try to pull him away from me as he was standing up to put hands on anyone that angered him. I let things cool down and walk away. I proceeded to address my issues with the person in charge of that night, immediately he was dismissive, but told me he would go over and talk to security. He walked over and I watched them speak. They shared a couple laughs for about 30 minutes and the man Hung out for another hour after that before he decided to leave on his own accord. At the end of the night when our event was over, not a minute after, right on the dot. Security and the Manager started yelling obscenities and telling everyone to get the **** out and made a comment about white people for some reason? Which left everyone uncomfortable and confused because this room was as ethnically diverse as it could get. Me and my entire staff went to have a full conversation about what had happened that night and recapping with the owner but he defended his "staff" even after having multiple (7+) patrons independently complain about being uncomfortable, he ignored any accountability, harassed us for his money while we were actively breaking down and loading all of our equipment into our vehicles outside because at that point it was clearly the only thing he cared about. demanded we pay him their split without any reasoning or understanding that the funds had to be transferred. Started acting like we were trying run off without paying him because we demanded a conversation about accountability first and then when it was all said and done shut the door on us so we couldn't return. I will never in my life come/promote/attend/etc here ever. This place has a bad history and I wanted to believe it wasn't true and still try to work at the 611 because good venues in the Maryland scene are hard to come by, but everything everyone has said about this place unbelievably correct. You all should be ashamed and know good and well this hasn't been your only instance or situation.

Both bartenders were extremely knowledgeable and friendly behind the bar which was surprising for the type of place it was.

They have a large selection of more than just your typical "bar food" and everything I've had has been great. Don't be fooled by it's rugged exterior, skyroom is a friendly place that offers more than you would expect.
