    Phony Negroni and truffle fries and blueberry cocktail
    Angela L.

    All of the drinks here are so good! I'm shocked this place isn't more popular... and the food is really good too! There's street parking around but depending on how late you get in it can be difficult to find. The space is art bar esque so lots of space on the tables for crafting! The service is great your order at the bar and they bring the food to you or you get your drinks at the bar -- it's convenient for groups so you don't have to worry about splitting checks, just handling your tab!

    Awesome spot tonight hang out with friends. I met up with two friends here and we enjoyed the variety of drink - both alcoholic and mocktail selection was great. The food was delicious especially the truffle parm fries. Oh my! We also did a bracelet craft while here. It was fun to find beads and charms to use. Bartender was great!

    i came here with a large crew of about 10 people for my birthday. you can't book reservations directly on their website, but you can over email. the process was streamlined enough. they reserved a table for us and talked us through their large party rules before we sat down. i got the pink pony for my bev. it was cute looking, but man was it STRONG. i nursed it for the rest of the night. for my food, i ordered the pita and hummus platter which came with carrots and celery. i loved the crunchy chickpeas on top, and the portion was large enough for it to be filling. i ended up doing watercolor, which they allow 3 paintings with. over the course of the next 3 hours i painted all sorts of things. my friends and i had a really great time with all of the artistic offerings. also, this seems like a great first date spot, which means a great spot for me to listen to other people's first dates.

    The food was served quickly and fresh. The drink though was the real standout. A blend of creativity, figs, and unorthodox ingredients created a delectable dish for the mouth and the eyes. And the artistic interior made the experience wonderful. The staff was extremely kind and speedy. They even gave free refreshments. A wonderful gem for food, drink, and art. An amazing fusion for a memorable afternoon

    Garlic Parmesan Fries

    The fries were amazing, I had the blueberry lemon bar and it was so good if you're like me and not a heavy drinker and like things on the lighter end that's just for you. The bartender was really quick with getting our drinks out and our fries-great service. The overall atmosphere and ambiance was really artsy and kind of a mid century/art-deco inspired vibe to it and just very inviting. Definitely recommend coming here with your girls, they do crafts and this time I saw there was a tarot card reader.

    Such a cute spot! The service was friendly and quick, and the cocktails were as beautiful as they were delicious. I loved the art options, too. There's no AC, but the fan kept things comfortable while we chatted and sipped away. The fries were a great touch. I'll definitely be back!

    Cowboy Burger (open-face/no top bun)

    Such a cute, artsy bar/restaurant in Baltimore. So glad I know about this place. Meander Art Bar has a great niche--enjoy good food while taking part in an art craft or art-centered workshop. The bartender, Matt, is so personable and introduced me to some great local spirits. Tequila is my thing, and I enjoyed a sip or two. He also made me a stellar dirty martini. I ordered their Cowboy Burger. The spice on this was great! If you're into anything artsy and you want a laid back vibe with great food options, go to Meander Art Bar!

    Cactus cooler
    Huong N.

    A cute concept and a nice place to have a drink with friends after work! Stopped by to catch up with some friends and we really enjoyed our time at Meander! I think there was a jewelry making class on the day that I was there, which seems like a fun thing to do. There are several crochet kits and other things you could buy and work on while you enjoy a cocktail or mocktail! While the cocktails all look good, and certainly the cactus cooler tastes good, the price of $16 is a little steep. The mocktails cost almost as much as the cocktails, which was surprising.

    I really love this bar for the ambience. Great customer service and delicious food. The steak frites and burgers are so savory and flavorful. I really enjoy the drinks. They're not too strong. The only thing I dislike about this place is the parking, parking is awful because of share with the neighborhood and it's in an upper point. Everything else is a 10 out of 10.

    Hash bowl with pastrami-spiced smoked beef
    Anna S.

    Ever since the former 1801 bar closed, it seems this location can't seem to hold onto a concept for long - it was an Italian spot for a hot second, a tiki place called Jungle Room which didn't last long either, but then along came Meander. And for the sake of the neighborhood and all of Baltimore, I sure hope Meander is here to stay. It's such a cute spot with a much needed concept. The idea is that you can select from a number of art kits while enjoying cocktails and food. They have everything from painting kits, beading kits, and much more. There's also plenty of art for sale from local artists, too. My boyfriend and I came by on a Sunday morning for brunch. I ordered the hash bowl which came with fried egg, smashed potatoes, caramelized onions, cheese, scallions, and a delicious serving of flavorful meat - I chose the pastrami-spiced smoked beef which was insanely good. Looking at the menu now, it doesn't appear that this option is available anymore (or maybe their brunch menu just isn't on the website?), but it was really very good. I'd definitely go back to try more of the menu! They're always doing cool events too.

    Creativity is encouraged. You can even bring your own art supplies and create here if you're inclined.

    I love this concept! If you're a creative, a wannabe creative, or just looking for a unique bar concept, I highly recommend this spot. The bar offers the usual suspects when it comes to cocktails but also offers its own unique variations as well as a healthy mocktail selection. The bartender, whose name escapes me at the moment, was pleasant and attentive--and created a few of the cocktails! The allure of Meander though is it's encouragement of creativity. You can purchase clay, coloring books, watercolor kits, charcoal and more to work on while you chat with your company. I also learned that they encourage you to bring your own supplies and work on your projects there. What a delight! I can't recommend enough and will certainly be back.

    A local place where you can grab a craft cocktail, some delicious food, and also unleash your inner artistic abilities...I'm in love. Welcome Saunter Corner Bar, or soon to be Meander Bar, to the Baltimore community. If you have a love for arts and crafts and are looking for a great neighborhood hangout, then look no further then Saunter Corner Bar. I recently attended their Art Club Nite where you can bring whatever crafty piece you're working on and mingle with likeminded artistic people, get inspired, and learn some new things. Of course, no experience needed, so bring whatever art ability you have. I grabbed a fig mocktail and an order of some of the best fries I've had in a long while and snagged a table to work on my embroidery. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were really nice. I even met some other creatives that invited me to their table to mingle with them since I was by myself. I'm happy to have such a creative new hangout in the area. And I look forward to attending many more of Saunter Corner Bar's events or popping in to grab some brunch on the weekends.

    This is the cutest spot! It's got a great mix of activities to choose from in their art bar, including bead bracelets, charcoal drawing and air dry clay. Adding to the artsy vibe, there are paintings by local artists hung on the wall (which you can buy!) and records in the corner. They have like 7 or 8 tables to sit at, a corner booth, and a long bar. Great place to come with friends, on a date, at any time of day. It got pretty busy on a Friday night with a high buzz ambiance, but not crazy loud. Plus, Meander is open almost all day - I'll likely come here for a study session some time and stay for a drink after Out of the three things I got, the pita & hummus was my favorite by far. The deep winter salad is unique, but it wasn't my favorite... it's missing something (maybe add cranberries?).

Whether sitting at the bar or at their super comfy couches, it's very inviting to stay awhile. Drinks - Old Line specializes in two spirits: rum and whiskey. Don't be fooled; they have varieties of those two options in terms of aging and blending process for a grand total of five products. When I went, $15 got us a flight of every spirit they produce - and they don't skimp! I thought it would be a little 1/2 oz tasting, but this was just shy of a full shot each, so I ended up sharing with my companions. Speaking of flights, they also offer flights by style. For example, if you are more of a rum person, they have a flight of their rums as well as some from other local distilleries. Ditto for the whiskeys. A nice touch promoting competitors in the spirit of... well, spirits! The cocktails were great. I got a daiquiri - a proper daiquiri with lime and rum. Not to hate on a spiked strawberry smoothie, but this is the OG daiquiri (and the better one, IMHO). I also split the Liberty Risk, made with their Navy Strength cask rum, with my companions. They limit you to one because it is STRONG. Suffice it to say I ended up staying a little longer than originally planned. Overall, they have six regular cocktails and one or two specials. They also offer a couple of local beers on tap, but we came for the spirits. If you enjoyed the cocktails, they sell the Old Line spirits as well as some bar tools so you can try your hand at home. The prices aren't too bad for what it is and service is fast and friendly. I look forward to coming back!

However, the bartender, Vicki, refused to accommodate us at all, despite our willingness to wait our turn. Rather than acknowledging us or offering an estimated wait time, we were simply turned away. What made the experience particularly disappointing was not the wait itself, but the lack of professionalism and hospitality. We were treated as though our business was not welcome, which is not the level of customer service I would expect from a hotel of this standard. As paying guests, we expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. If the bar was temporarily unable to serve additional customers, a polite explanation or request to wait would have been completely understandable. Instead, the bartender's, Vicki, refusal to accommodate us left us feeling unwelcome and frustrated. While I thoroughly enjoyed my hotel stay, this definitely put an off putting taste in my mouth toward customer service standards. I hope this matter will be reviewed so that future guests receive a more professional and courteous experience. Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback.
