It was a dead night tonight. Still had fun riding the bull and had my friends ride the bull too. read more

PBR Baltimore - a group of people at a bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Ryleigh was so sweet ! She did eveything she could to make sure my group and I had a great time ! I'll definitely be back !

Cool place inside power plant live I like the setup nice music it's different bars just feet away with different vibes

This place is great if you love country music, awesome people, a party atmosphere, dancing, and fun! If you don't...you suck so don't even bother going. We loved this place! We went here after attending a concert at Power Plant Live. The drinks were great, the music was perfect and we danced the night away! It was the perfect ending to a great night. Can't wait to go back again for a concert we're attending in August! read more

PBR Baltimore - Lovin' the PBR bar! - Beer Bar Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

If you want to dance, this is not the place. I went here because I experienced the PBR in Virginia Beach. I had high hopes. The service is great and the bartenders were friendly. The drinks were made well, and the place seemed overall pretty clean. However, the dance floor had only a couple people on it, the music wasn't really the country music you dance to, and when my friend and I tried to start dancing, a bouncer told us to stop dancing because we were too close to the "girls." I don't recall if these girls are at the other PBR location, but they did the same dance routine all night, and the way the people just watched them dance for hours reminded me of a gentlemen's club. I really love country dancing/ line dancing, but this PBR did not live up to my hopes. read more

Don't get me wrong. This place is FUN. This review is for AHA and his crew that checked my party and I in. I came here for a birthday celebration that the birthday host threw. Having the event pre arranged, the birthday girl instructed us to go through the VIP line BEFORE 11pm--ok no problem. Easy enough. A woman working VIP took us to our bottle service table. **Note no wristbands or indication was given that we were granted access to the venue before 11pm because after 11pm there is a $10 cover charge. Fast forward to the night, not knowing my friend and I have to tell the bouncer we are leaving to pick up a friend, we leave the exit not telling the bouncer a thing, not having a wristband or any indication we arrived before 11pm. We try to enter again--we are not granted access because we "were not given a wristband or told the bouncer we were leaving". This message is for UPPER MANAGEMENT to communicate with their staff on tracking their guests. I'm not suprised if the male bouncer gave me a fake first name "Aha" is his name. Well Mr. Aha, please tell your workers to count VIP guests accordingly. It will save you and your staff the headache. 1/10 for customer service. read more

Awesome time!! Great music and staff were amazing! Hosted a bunch of us on a Thursday night and we danced until late night!

Had an excellent experience here 10 out of 10 would recommend definitely going back this weekend!!! read more

PBR Baltimore - My boyfriend on the bull!! - Beer Bar Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

What can I say... all the way live in this place. I didn't drink, but what I could tell the drink were flowingnfor my party group! The bull was absolutely fun! And they even had dancers to entertain the crowd. Will be coming back. The dance floor stayed busy with country line dancing and awesome partygoers. read more

Bull riding here is the best. Let me warm you though to remove any jewelry because a friend of mind did injure herself by here bracelet cutting into her skin as she fell off. The staff here is very friendly. I myself being a plus size girl and short have trouble getting on the bull but the staff has never showed any prejudice. I love it. If you are willing to ride they are willing to assist you no matter how many times you want to try. Go get your ride on. Yippee read more

If I could give this place a 0 star I would. Quite frankly it lacks diversity and it's very clear diversity isn't welcomed. When my group of friends attempted to get in line for the infamous bull ride, the lady (blonde) who works here let the white customers physically cut the line. Why do I believe race is a factor in the way your treated here ..? Because all people of color were at the end of the line. The line lacks organization and all over order. The music also again favors a particular audience but that is for another review. The entire staff need a lesson on diversity. The staff that includes only white people. Overall not my vibe. read more

What I enjoy most about PBR is watching people get on (and fall off of) the mechanical bull. It's very entertaining to watch. Other than that, it's an ok bar. They play mainly country and rock and as a R&B and Hip Hop girl, I won't the first on the dance floor, if at all. It's more fun to come with a large group than with one or two friends. read more

Power Plant has made some serious upgrades since the beginning of the year. Mosaic has expanded with a larger outdoor area and stage, Baltimore Comedy Factory has been added and there is still more to come by the end of the year. My favorite new addition is PBR. It opened a few months ago and I've been quite a few times and have yet to be disappointed. It is on the upper level next to Angels Rock Bar. If you are a fan of country music, then you will definitely love this place. You will love it even if you aren't a huge country fan. The dj mixes up country with Top 40 and hip hop music so there is something for everyone. The girls that work there wear sexy chaps that show off their red booty shorts while they dance on top of the bars to certain line dances and get the crowd pumped. There are three bars as well as a beer tub stand so you have plenty of choices to grab drinks. The best thing about PBR is the mechanical bull that all the drunken guys and girls attempt to ride. Some are pretty good, but most only last a few seconds. There are tvs all over the place with a live view of the bull so everyone can watch even if they aren't near the action. If you aren't brave (drunk) enough to get on for a ride, it is great for just people watching. I could probably watch that all day long. They tend to go easier on the girls and make it a rougher ride for the guys. Cover charge is $10 on Fridays and Saturdays, but if you friend them on Facebook or sign up for their emails through their website, then you can usually score a sweet happy hour deal with free cover for you and your friends. Also, once you get in, you can go to PBR or Angels Rock Bar, so it's like 2 clubs for the price of one. read more

Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaat did I just experience?!?!? I can never un-see what I saw here. Never. read more

Very fun place with great energy BUT they have a pattern of charging more on your credit card than you signed for. I keep my receipts and compare them to my credit card statement every month. The charges on my statement have been higher each time I was there (3 times during November & December 2021), sometimes significantly. My handwriting is very legible, so I see no excuse for this pattern of intentional fraud. Beware and keep & verify your receipts if you go. read more

I was curious to see why everyone was so excited about PBR. I think the draw is the mechanical bull and the country music. This is a theme bar with bartenders/servers dressed as cowboys, rodeo clowns and cowgirls in chaps. They have 3 large bars and the bartenders are attentive. We came here on the bequest of our friend, the bride-to-be. She enjoys country music and wanted to ride the bull. It was our first stop in our bar crawl for her bachelorette party. Unfortunately, it was our last stop. Who gets hurt on a mechanical bull? Lesson learned: Riding the bull is not a good thing a week before your wedding. Thanks to PBR for providing ice for our friend's ankle and for getting her down the elevator. read more

This place plays a great mix of country and club music. There's something here for everyone, even if you just want to stand around having a drink and watching people get thrown from the mechanical bull! read more

Pbr is definitely the best place to go on a Friday or Saturday night!! The girls and I used to go out to fed or fells point until we found pbr. If you go, you have to ride the mechanical bull If you bring 10 people in your group of friends you can typically get a VIP table, which is an awesome experience at PBR. read more

PBR Baltimore - VIP table with my girls at PBR - Beer Bar Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

PBR is probably one of the better establishments at the Power Plant. They have several areas with different music playing in each one. We somehow always end up in the room with the mechanical bull...lured in by the top 40s mixed with some pop country. No interactive and earth-shaking DJ/live band here, but the music is still "danceable". They have dancers on the bull and tables that move around where the crowd needs hyping...but standard dancing, nothing special. My only legitimate negative comment is the lack of top shelf vodka selections. They serve Ciroc, but I'm a Grey Goose or Belvedere kind of girl, so I was a little disappointed. Four Ciroc and red bull cocktails came out to $34 ($50 with tip for our generous bartender)...I could live with that. We always have a good time, so we'll be back! read more

This place is a joke. A dancer/employee decided that she was going to dance on the table. I was told to move my drink by the dancer. I was also told by the security that I needed to move away from the table I was standing at so that they could dance. "If I got kicked that it was my own fault" via the security/worker. Be glad I didn't get kicked because you guys would have an assault charge filed on one of your dancers/workers. What happened to allowing customers to actually use the tables. Believe me. I will put a review on everything I can find. Stay away! read more

Worst drinks ever. Really weak drinks. Crowd is ok. Not a bad time if your with the right group

This place is great if you love country music. There is a mechanical bull and things get wild on there. Good people watching, a little trashy. read more

One thing on my "Must Do Before I'm 30 List" was to ride a mechanical bull...Guess what? I was scared and back out of it...Untiiiiill I saw how much fun people were having! I did it and stayed on longer than 5 seconds! WooooHoooo!!! It was sooo much fun! The atmosphere is great as well. People watching you will cheer you on! If you are in the Baltimore area and always wanted to ride a mechanical bull...Go to PBR! It's $10 to get in most nights. There are different areas to PBR, which is good because it can get packed. :) read more

Yes I am a fan of the boozing. Love to see people attempt to ride the bull its HILARIOUS. Fun for all Music is can life without but the overall experience was kool read more

PBR Baltimore - PBR Customer living on edge - Beer Bar Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

PBR.... Does not stand for the beer, like most people thing. It stands for Professional Bull Riding. They do have a mechanical bull, but the line is usually real long. Get their early if you want to hop on it. This is the best place in Power Plant Live. Power plant in general is for tourists, but that does not mean it is not a lot of fun. If you are with a group of friends this is the place to go. Drink prices are reasonable and there is always a crowd on the weekends. For guys there are ladies dancing on tables in chapps with their butts out. Traditional/classy females may get offended as happened to my buddy's girlfriend. Leave those types of girls at home. Tip: If there is a concert outside you can get a great view from PBRs outside area. Get there early. (I think cover is $10 after a certain time, again get their early) read more

I just held our holiday party at PBR and it was a blast. the team had a lot of fun riding the bull. Jake, who was the operator, did a nice job making us all feel like we knew what we were doing. Once the party ended, many of stayed on afterward to have some more fun with the Amish Outlaws. One more thing, the outfits on the girls......WOW. Great time! read more

Well I must say I stumbled onto this country club in the middle of downtown Baltimore.. The atmosphere was awesome and the staff was on point with the entertainment aspect of a Country club.. beautiful woman dancing all night and if you want some Bull riding in your future, you must go check out the mechanical bull a and it's operator. I must say I've been going to country clubs all over the country, but this guy is the best mechanical bull operator I've ever seen lol. A must go if you're in Baltimore!!! read more

The Bull is cool. Abs for the type of place that it is, I guess the music was okay. In my opinion, it wasn't for the entire crowd. Very one sided actually, as are most, if not all of the bars at Power Plant Live. I went here for a bar crawl and it was one of the most populated bars. The drinks were just okay though. I would go back, but it will probably be a long time before I return. read more

I went here after a Best of City Paper event, and it was dead as a door nail. It was a random Thursday, so perhaps that was it. I can imagine if you're a 20 something you'd love this bar on a busy Saturday or Sunday. Maybe take one too many Jack Daniels shots and climb up on that mechanical bull! Ah, youth. I have been on a few of those mechanical bulls in my youth and perhaps if we'd drank some more we too would have joined the club. We didn't stay long, had a few drinks and a shot (bought by a peppy cute as a button millenial). Tab was $ 8.50. Prices were reasonable but again the place was empty on a Thursday evening. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. DISGUSTED. DO NOT GO THERE. I was part of a VIP Bachelorette Party that was set up at PBR for Saturday night by the entertainment coordinator at Powerplant Live! When the group of 13 girls, including myself, originally showed up, the employees did not know what our party was, did not offer wristbands for discounted drinks to all the girls, and did not give the bride her "drink for free" wristband. On top of that, the security was harassing us about taking off our zebra striped, pink and black bandanas as soon as we got there. We asked to speak to a manager who never came out to meet us, instead he sent one of the servers who was sweet but could not give us answers. When the girl in our group who was paying for the party gave her credit card and ID to one of the servers, they LOST it and brought back someone else's ID and card? Is that safe? Is that where you want your money going? Again, we asked to speak to the manager, they denied us. Then, as we were dancing as a group around 10:30-11 pm, one of the bouncers (a juiced up, disrespectful, aggressive man, who clearly needs therapy) grabbed the BRIDE and said she was being too drunk and had to leave because he saw her "fall" which no one else witnessed, interestingly enough. She asked to just go get her purse from our VIP table before we left and he grabbed her arms and shoved her, as she cried, through the crowd of people there and called her a "stupid little sl*t" I ran after her and was also grabbed by security, who said I assaulted him - yet, another lie - and eventually they let me go to run after my friend who was, in fact, just assaulted by this roid-head. Once the group of us was mostly outside, we were again harassed by the outside security and the police presence because we were simply asking to have our questions answered. Another girl in our group was asking for information to file a complaint and she was forcefully removed from the area. It was a disgusting display of authority-abuse on a group of young women. We are filing a suit with the Better Business Bureau. But that doesn't seem like enough. If you are a woman, or if you are a man who respects women in general, would you want to be treated like this? Or have someone you care about treated like this? Their abusive behavior was disturbing and disgusting and deserves to be answered for. Someone who can physically abuse a woman and not even have the decency to give his name after doing so is a coward. No matter how "big" you are, you are a coward if you do something like this to someone else. And if you, as a customer of PBR, continue to support this horrific establishment, you are allowing them to get away with their sexiest behavior, disrespectful language, and abusive actions. SAY NO TO PBR ----- and say yes to having fun at the tons of other places you can go to. Another note - I wrote all of this multiple times on their facebook page, and they were cowards again, and erased it. read more

This was the worst experience that I have ever had in Baltimore. I came to town for my sisters bachelorette and she was sprayed all over with alcohol by a bartender during a chauvinistic act. A bartender offered us shots as compensation but the manager then told us that we couldn't have them. This establishment is sexist as well as unprofessional and I recommend staying away. There are way too many great places in Baltimore to waste time here. read more

PBR was great for my birthday! The private tables with big comfy chairs were so reasonably priced for a large venue in downtown Baltimore. They even got me on stage and did a little skit that everyone loved. It's also nice to have Country music mixed in with a few current dance songs for a group with different music tastes. Thank you to the entire staff at PBR for making my birthday memorable!!! read more

Terrible, terrible experience at PBR Baltimore this weekend. Extremely excessive and aggressive force was used to remove a frightened and very upset 105 pound bride from the building after a bouncer stated that she tripped on the dance floor. After they pinned her arms behind her back and began walking her out, 2 bouncers repeatedly called her a 'stupid sl*t' and said 'you don't even know who you're dealing with!' .....ummm we're dealing with a juiced up 24 year old kid on a power trip. On top of this situation the club was unprepared and unprofessional regarding our prearranged VIP party. They lost our license and credit card, did not provide the bride with the appropriate wrist band and made us wait over 35 minutes for our bottle service. The PBR Baltimore facebook page continues to delete my unfavorable post and the management refuses to provide contact information for filing an official complaint. Needless to say, I do not recommend spending your time or money here. read more

Witnessed some crazy stuff go down on Saturday night. A group of girls who were obviously out for a bachelorette party got manhandled and dragged out of the club. It didn't look like they were out of hand at all and, judging by the rest of the crowd, way more in control than a lot of others there. If that kind of thing happened in the street, they'd probably call the police. Who would treat women like that, especially someone they outweighed by 200 pounds. The other reviewers from the other night seem to be right on point. Excessive, brute force isn't necessary. The parents of those bouncers should ashamed of themselves. How do you grow up to be like that? Never going back. Wouldn't feel safe. read more

The best party in Baltimore to be apart of!! The best employees with impeccable customer service, always guaranteed to have a good time. Great space, the best music, delicious drinks, fast service and overall a great time!! read more

Enjoyed the grand opening of PBR last Friday night (and the UYE :) ). The space is well designed with an open feel and features 3 separate bars, with the mechanical bull being the focal point (for better or for worse--I got more than 1 crotch shot from an older woman in a mini skirt), and a large patio area. The bartenders were attentive and friendly, there was no shortage of girls dancing in chaps for the men, and the DJ kept the crowd dancing with a mix of country & pop. A good time was had by all. read more

We decided on bottle service for the Kip Moore concert. Worst decision ever. Horrible Security and service. Don't ever get bottle service here. Our poor server was awesome and she tried but they had her all over. Management sucks read more

This place is a hazard. All of the people serving our group behind the bar were wasted and then the one bartenders actually set off the fire extinguisher everywhere all over everyone! !Can't imagine how many law suits are coming, that stuff is toxic. It's sad when the staff are more intoxicated than the customers every time. Last time we will be visiting PBR. read more

This past weekend was my second time stopping by PBR because a few of my friends were in town visiting. I like the music at this bar but the staffs leave a lot to be desired. I purchased the first round of drinks for my friends and signed by receipts but did not tip on my card as I tend to just tip with cash when at a bar. Their drink literally has no alcohol in it. So I then purchased a second round of drinks and was surprised that the price was exactly the same even though I ordered one less drink. I just blew it off and was like whatever, it's just a few bucks. The next day I was checking my credit card purchases online and saw that PBR had charged me additional money to each of my charges from the day before! Are you kidding me?!? I signed those receipts as an agreement to pay the price that was stated on that receipt. I wasn't drunk and was very much aware of how much I was being charged on those receipts. And yet they had the audacity to charge additional money on my card without my consent. That's fucking illegal!!! read more

This place is fun because it's the only type of bar of it's kind that I know of in the area, but my girls threw my bachelorette party there last weekend and they ended up screwing us. We got a table and bought one bottle of vodka but at the end of the night there were a bunch of bombs added to the bill. They waitress wouldn't let us leave until we signed it even though we told her that we hadn't ordered them. The following morning, my maid of honor went in to talk to the manager. He was a huge dick to her, didn't even offer to look into it or talk to the waitress or the bartenders and basically made it clear that he was pissed that we got a table but ordered shots from the bar. Its a bachelorette party for gods sakes, of course we are going to order some shots from the bar while dancing. He said there was nothing he could do since the bill had already been signed, which is bullshit, I've been a bartender in many places. I would recommend going once for the experience, but double check your bill, don't get a table and don't expect customer service if something goes wrong. read more
