This is probably the best spot in Baltimore to celebrate any sort of event or even just a destination to meet up with friends and let loose for the weekend. My friend had won a happy hour for PBR and I had never been. We got there, and not knowing what to expect, I was not dissapointed! The bar staff was very friendly, not to mention very attractive. They have a mechanical bull! The music was great. Some of us were not into country music but the DJ was very good at mixing it up. If you are looking for a high energy place with a beautiful staff, I highly recommend this bar, you will not be dissapointed! 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

I attended the UYE this weekend at PBR and had a good time drinking, strutting my stuff in a cowboy hat and making a poor, poor attempt at riding the bull. The crowd was good. There was no shortage of chaps and they mix it up with the music. Nothing like riding a bull in a country bar to the tunes of Rihanna! read more

Great bar! A lot of energy! Everyone is having a good time! Great watching drunk fools try to ride the mechanical bull! 2 negative points. First no Bud products. I can deal with that though. Worst thing about this bar is the old guy DJ! Dude shut the fuck up!!!! No one wants to hear you talk! You are totally not funny! Everyone out there has been to a bar with a guy who is waaaaaayyyyyyyy too old to be djing right??? This is that guy!!!! Bouncer told me he is always like this too so it wasn't an off night. I repeat..... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! read more

I love this place! Service is amazing. The bar has a mechanical bull available to the public, always so much fun. The female bartenders are all bombshells, males are super attractive as well. They put on short shows throughout the night creating great entertainment. The dancers also line dance together on the floor in the beginning of the night and on the tables and stage area later in the night. If you want a great time on a weekend, PBR is definitely the place to go! read more

If I could give below I would . Most disrespectful thing of this bar is they call themselves a country bar. Just moved from Texas and the middle of the dance floor they put a flip cup table. This happened while my girlfriend and I were dancing. I asked for a song and they shut it down for a city ass bachelorette strip show. If you wanna be country please talk to a country person before you are acclaiming things you definitely are not! But if you are looking for free liquor, the bartenders have no problem putting it on the bar and walking away! Disgrace. Don't call yourself a country bar!!!!!!!!! If I were the manager I would be embarrassed... read more

PBR Baltimore opened this weekend and was absolutely bumpin last night. Great music (a mix of country and pop hits mixed with rock classics) kept the energy up as groups of people made their way to the mechanical bull. Ex real life cowboys man the bulls and all eye go to them when they hop on to show the crowd how it's really done. Great service and good prices also make this a good choice for a fun night out dancing in downtown Baltimore. Cant wait to return again soon! read more

This place was terrible. It was my first time going and will not be returning. I had a tab for 25 bucks and I left a 4 dollar tip. Then I check my bank account this morning and they ended up charging me 30 dollars instead of the 29 that I signed for. It happened twice in one night so I will not be returning to PBR ever. read more

This place is great! If you want a party you will definitely enjoy this place!! The girls they have dancing do a great job at keeping the energy up and entertaining the crowd! I wish I could pull off the chaps look like these girls do!! They also have a mechanical bull which is always so fun to ride and also just watch! The skinny guy that operates it is so dreamy! I love when he does the shows!! Overall you should definitely experience the party that is PBR Baltimore! read more

This place makes me feel old. Back in my party days, I would've probably loved this place. It's a nice perk to be able to walk between pbr and rock bar. The outside area is a nice bonus when the crowds get a little too crazy. Overall-not a place I would pick, but it worked for a big group get together to celebrate multiple birthdays. read more

There's a mechanical bull in the middle of this place. That's really the only thing you need to know. They also play a good mix of music. Heard both Joan Jett and Jason Aldean, which is always a good thing in my book! read more

Good place all around. Friendly bar staff and decent atmosphere. I've always had good experiences coming here! While it's not the first bar OR the last I go to when I'm at Power Plant it's always a stop at some point in the night. read more

I am going to say this only..... Go ride the bull. It's soooo much fun.

Great happy hour !!! Enjoy the place just needs to switch up the music everybody doesn't want to hear country !!

Hidden Gem. Between the mechanical bull, line dancing, and flip-cup challenges it's a pretty fun time.

With a group for a bachelor party....music was good people were entertaining however....be aware the bartenders only take care of you if you flash the cash or credit card....we did the $50 per person food/drink deal and they give you a red cup...they make you wait forever so if this is the last bar you go to be sure to go to the bar at 10 to get a last drink by 11 read more

Great place to go on a Friday or Saturday night. The mechanical bull is a lot of fun. The girls are always happy and welcoming. If you like to dance and experience a real party,I highly recommend here! read more

A "Southern" Bar with little Southern Hospitality As a Texas girl, I was very excited to stumble upon this "country" bar. Initially I was at Angel's Rock Bar with some friends (not my scene but still a great time), and happened to walk into PBR. It looked like back home! It was pretty slow as it was early on a Thursday, but there was mechanical bull, country music (albeit pretty pop-y country mixed with top 40 hits), and LOTS of room to dance!!! A couple of girls who work there were dancing on the bar in assless chaps (yee-haw!) -(faces were 5-6 but abs were a 10!)- and I asked them if they knew any line dances. After a couple "Sure honey, whatevas," and really rude brushoffs I decided to make my way to the bar. The bartenders were moderately nice- drinks were strong and decently cheap. They didn't pay a lot of attention to me, but they weren't rude. I don't know what it would be like if it were super crowded, but overall it was a decent bar experience. The guys running the bull were pretty cool, I saw them helping all kinds of people (they took the time to help up every single girl from a small group, especially one pretty big girl, and even gave a guy a second chance when he fell off right away!) The DJ played my request for a line-dancing song (and even complimented my taste in music- He was probably just being polite but still- when does that ever happen?) and said he'd ask the girls there if they knew how to dance to it. I went up and asked the girls working to dance with me (who doesn't want to dance with some booty-shakin' girls?) and they stared at me like I was an alien. A group of assless chaps ended up staring at me and eventually kicking me out! Can you believe that? God, in Texas, all kinds of girls would have been dancing together, it wouldn't have been a competition at all! In short, pretty good scene, moderate drinks, okay bartenders, helpful bull engineers, and really bitchy girls (really not even good looking, minus their abs!). Those girls seriously disappointed, they were really obsessed with one another but not focused on their costumers having a good time at all! You would have hoped a southern bar would have shown some manners! read more

Horrible management. Was treated very disrespectful and aggressive by bouncers for no valid reason.I would not recommend coming to PBR.

I visited the PBR in Baltimore on 23 March 2012 and was really impressed; AT FIRST... It was crowded but well organized and my brother and I waited in line a few minutes before we were " carded " ( I'm 49 but was flattered ) and then proceeded to the next location where you pay to enter ( credit card or bank card ) no cash on weekends we were told. Not an issue, as a matter of fact, being active duty military, I was admitted for free! We then went to the next line to go upstairs where the mechanical bull riding is conducted. It didn't take long and we went upstairs and watched everyone having a good time, I took a seat outside where they have a smoking section, not to smoke , but because it was a little quieter while my brother went in to give the bull riding experience a try. This is when the experience takes the harsh turn for the worse! See, I'm a Wounded Warrior from Fort Meade and have a service dog. Security approached me and asked for my animal's certification which I provided for him. He politely asked me if I would mind coming with him to speak to the District Manager Gabriel, which I agreed. At this time I was told my service animal is a " health code violation " and he had to leave the premises. I was told he could stay but only if I was blind! The nerve of an individual telling me that i haven't sacrificed enough for my country but that I have to surrender my eyesight in order to spend my money in this establishment. Again, i want to reiterate, he wasn't rude or unprofessional, but was definitely uneducated when it comes to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (amended in 2008.) One of the first things he said was that this was private property, and I'm sure it is; however, any restaurant, bar, or other establishment serving food or drink though it may be a private entity are considered public accommodations if the operation of such entity affect commerce. My service dog and I departed without incident and I called my brother by cell phone and we had to end our festivities early. I would also like to add that my service canine has accompanied me to multiple hospital appointments, the super market, White Marsh Mall, Towson Town Mall , and several restaurants to include Blue Moon Cafe this morning! I hope Mr. Cordish isn't planning on treating Wounded and Injured military personnel like this at his new casino at Arundel Mills, our wounded and injured military members deserve better from the country we defend! As the military conflicts continue, military members are wounded daily and more are requiring service animals to cope with day to day activities. Think about your policies and adjust as necessary; just like we have! read more

DJ sucks and dancers are fat and don't know how to dance. For a country bar they played literally 1 country song the whole night. Eww.

Looking for a great night out on the town with high energy, an awesome staff, and wonderful music?! PBR Baltimore is the place to go. Every time I am there i'm amazed at the experience. You are always taken care of at PBR with their excellent service. Highly recommend this place for a spontaneous night out or any type of social event! read more

Terrible place the management is a total joke and disrespectful and over charge and tipped themselves when I had a VIP table bar has great potential but the management staff is very rude including the head server who looks like she's well past her prime read more

This is truly one of the best bars/nightclubs I've ever been to. The place is very well put together, the music is great, and they've got a mechanical bull that with a great team to operate and makes sure even on the busiest of nights everyone gets a chance to ride. The bartenders and quick and ready to serve, And the bar is good about cleaning up spills, I dropped a beer bottle and as soon as I told the DJ he had security and a bar back cleaning it up within seconds so nobody stepped on it. You can have fun with a huge sense of security since the bar is within its own gated off area. You can take your drinks outside to bar hop and they have a Patio that over looks the main stage for live bands, definitely a VIP feel. They really thought it all through. read more

I was in PBR this past Saturday night and someone stole my phone or it fell out of my pocket and someone picked it up. The staff was not very helpful nor would the DJ even make an announcement to see if someone had seen it. Now I can't even speak with anyone because they do not open again until Friday. If anyone see's this and has any information please message me! I have only had that phone for 10 day read more

So I braved the mean street (market place)of power plant live recently for a bachelorette party, I found myself here and it was truly an experience. I saw "barely legals, cowboy chaps with a hint of Victoria secrets "pink" collection shaking for the crowd on top of bars, I saw Sailors chasing skirts and a Mechanical bull with a rope above it. Before you get the wrong impression let me explain. This is a rock bar like it says in the description with a western theme. Now western isn't my style of music but hey I was there to support " my ride or die chick". I love the fact that PBR is a indoor outdoor club/bar/lounge, and with that you don't have to worry about suffocation from lack of oxygen. It's is also connected to another bar which is cool because if Bruce Springsteen isn't your cup of tea and Ke$ha is you have it all in one place. No need to leave EVERY! Smart move on the owners part. Now about that mechanical bull yeah they have one and if your willing to sit on it after a woman who clearly had three too many with her butt cheeks hanging out from under her Lil sister jean skirt then be my guess. All I could think of was "Somebody get the wet wipes"!!!!.... STAT. I also love that there are plenty of places to sit and they are so generous I heard the DJ say free shots numerous times during our evening of debauchery (snickering...insider). All in all it was a great time the bride to be had so much fun and she even rode the bull for all of 3.5 seconds. read more

Got a chance to check this one out the week after it opened my cousin was having a birthday and hear they had a bull so we decided to check it out. I am not big on country so I was very leery, but was pleasnatly surprised when I got there and the music was more pop than anything else. The place is locaed directly behind angels rockbar and you are pretty much paying for both places. Its got some size to it didn't go to the bar but there was a little stand to buy beer at. Around ten Oclock this place was packed. There was a line for the bull, but with most people only lasting about 3 seconds it moves pretty quickly I think we waited for about 15 minutes. All in all it has a good set up and its pretty much the non country contry bar. The Girls wear chaps which is a plus and its fun seeing people in there craziest cowboy outfits even though it isn't necessary. Have to go back and see what this place is like later in the summer. read more

One of our friends knew the DJ and suggested we go up to this place. It can be hard to find if you don't know your way around the powerplant. We went through Angels Rock bar to get in there. The draw is definitely the mechanical bull. One of the crew got on and she stayed on for a whole 7 seconds!!! lol It was hilarious!! Its free so its cool and makes for a good laugh. We just had beers in here so I don't know about their drink selections. We bounced back and forth between here and Angels. It was fun. They do mix the music up. Someone is always having a bachelorette party which makes for even more entertainment. I like that it is upstairs. You can go sit outside on the balcony and watch the people below. I do plan to bring some of my out of town friends here. It was a good time. It is set up just like a country saloon not a regular club. It was different and I like different!! read more

What started out as a fun night turned into a major disappointment. My friends and I attended the Kip Moore concert on Friday night. Upon entering we were approached to buy bottle service and get seating for the concert. Initially we declined and then decided that we would splurge. We approached the VIP guy and worked a deal for the service and he accepted the terms. After this he talked with the manager and the manager wouldn't accept and told us the deal was the deal he couldn't do any better on the price. We went ahead with it and had a great time for the first part of the concert. After the opening act the place started getting busy and we had several people pushing their way past the ropes and coming into the space. The security that was there tried to keep people out but the barriers weren't adequate and the crowd was not respectful. We also made an order for the rest of the alcohol provided in our package, waited 30 minutes and no delivery, approached security who referred us to the bar. We waited another 20 minutes and still no drinks. We asked for the manager to come and spoke with him about the lack of service, he agreed to comp the bottle and apologized. The server came out and apologized and tried to make things right, apparently she was doing double duty as a dancer and server that night. When the concert was over everyone disbanded but there was still no server, no check. We had to track someone down to ask for the check and upon presentation it was for the full amount with no comp. When we asked about this we were presented with the contract we were made to sign saying that we would pay a certain amount and no manager to be found. We were fed up at this point paid and left. I was super excited and looking forward to coming back for the Chase Rise and Jake Owen concerts but I will not. I'm super disappointed that a night of splurge and fun turned out to be so disappointing. If VIP service is sold then the customers should be treated like VIPs. read more

Yo real talk Dawgs you ain't gonna find no better bartenders then Stacie and Kelsey. They on point.

Do not come here if you like to be treated with respect. My friend and I (2 50 yr.old gentlemen) were thrown out 2 minutes after paying a 15$ cover each for leaning against a railing. That's right, we were looking over a rail for 1-2 minutes while we searched the lower level for our missing friend. A nasty, jerk bouncer ordered us away from the rail, when I reasonably asked what the problem was, we were ordered out without even a chance to explain ourselves. I have been hanging out in clubs 35 years and have never been so treated by staff in any establishment.. Charm city is filled with wonderful hospitable places to hang out and be treated right. "Steer" clear of PBR! read more

I LOVED it. Went two times, and each time was amazing. It is fun, music is great, place is clean, dancers are wild, bull riding is hysterical, and just a perfect night out. They are careful of the crowds etiquette and would tell you to fix your ball cap if it's turned to the back. I just really enjoyed it. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR!!! My friends and I attended PBR last weekend. On a slower night when we were standing and talking a shot server bumped into the back of my girlfriend and her friend. The shot tray spilled all over them. She yelled at them and called them stupid for "getting in her way." But having watched it, it was completely the servers fault. She then got two bouncers to come over. They were extremely rude and threatening. They told we had to pay 50 dollars for the shots or they would have us arrested! I've heard from other people that this is a scam they run on slower nights! DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE! read more

This place is a disaster! Last Saturday was my first and last time ever attending this club. I was with a VIP party celebrating one of my best friends getting married. What should have been one of the best nights for her was ruined by the incompetent staff and aggressive security. As we were dancing and having good HARMLESS fun, one of the bouncers (who outweighed the bride by 100lbs) decided she was "too drunk" and accused her of falling...when she clearly did not. I witnessed him (and multiple other bouncers) making false accusations, being verbally abusive and using excessive force to get her out of the club. The security and police outside were not any better, and did not want to hear her side of the story. I had to take my hysterical friend away from the crowd and calm her down because of how badly she was mistreated. I will NEVER go back to this horrific excuse for a club. Complaints and charges are being filed! Don't waste your time or money supporting this disgusting place!! read more

I actually can't stand country music... So I'm giving my review without judging the music since it's a country bar duh! It's pretty crowded.. While the rest of Baltimore is dead, so it could be good or bad for you.. I use to love clubs that were so packed! Now not so much.. But I have no trouble walking through.. The crowd isn't rough, or if somebody runs into me they normal say sorry or if I do it I say sorry and move on.. No fights over stupid stuff.. The bull riding is fun.. The guy in the bull ring to 'entertain' the girls seems cool always high energy which is hard to do all night.. I went Saturday and the girl in the bull ring, While pretty, I felt like she kept spending to much time on the bull.. Singing the songs thinking she's in a music video.. Think the club made her do that more then her, I don't know but I felt like the line for the bull can get long, I don't need to see you riding the bull for a song.. I wanna ride!! I love how they sell 40's... I don't know if the bartenders are nice.. They didn't really speak to me.. So they weren't rude or nice just doing their job.. They do play some top 40.. Not much. So I do Kinda wish they played like 40 mins country 20 mins top 40... And back and fourth. Only thing I didn't like the music is soooooo loud! Like I kept thinking I was standing by the speaker but wasn't.. So I'm happy I could hear it through the whole place but some spots I felt like ok I get it.. Me and my friends where yelling at each other lol.. So while I might not come back unless of course all my friends want too.. If you like country and bull riding def go!! You'll have a great time! read more
