    I want to like this place but it honestly gives more overhyped DC energy than a quality Baltimore…read morecocktail bar. The drinks are fine, the food is mediocre. But my issues is the staff. It can be completely hit or miss depending on who your bartender is. And last night I witness a truly disrespectful interaction between my friend who is a WOC and one of the bartenders. I understand having a limited drink menu, but each time my friend asked for a recommendation she was responded to as if she had just spit in that woman's face. The final straw was when my friend said, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with most of these drinks. What do you have that is sweet?" asking for a recommendation. The bartender looked at her and said "sugar" then rolled her eyes so hard I'm surprised they didn't get stuck in the back of her head. I understand being over your job, but my friend did nothing wrong. Was not rude, and in return got spoken to like a child. I don't know what the chip on this person's shoulder was, but if you absolutely HAVE to to be vile to everyone you speak to, try a back of the house position because you are actively damaging your bar's reputation.

    My best friend's younger sister had a milestone birthday party here and it was perfect. She rented…read morethe space and the layout was wonderful -- with a perfect balance of open standing space, tables, bar seats, and a photo booth. There was a preset menu for cocktails, mocktails, wines, and beer. Some of the mocktails were sweeter than my liking, but it was fine. The staff were awesome. The bartender was solo up until it turned into a cash bar -- she was working really hard! The music was at a great volume, and food was being passed around regularly. It's really a great space for having a private party. And on top of that, while it can fill up quickly, there's free street parking outside. I do wish the bathroom was lockable -- the stall within there is, but otherwise things could get awkward. Pro tip -- it's behind the stage.

    Absolutely dogshit experience. Came on a karaoke Wednesday night to get one drink, and sing one…read moresong - the bartender hit me with "we can't run a debit card unless it says debit on the card" / which is not the way debit cards work in any other establishment I've ever been to in 30 years. MY FRIEND GOT ROOFIED. MY FRIEND GOT ROOFIED. MY FRIEND GOT ROOFIED. There was also very clearly some operation happening outside where "homeless people" that were clearly just grifters kept getting sent to try and hassle people at the front door. I know for a fact that these people weren't actually homeless - as a homeless person wouldn't have left as soon as I looked them in the eye and called them a fake, they would've just called me an asshole and moved on about tryna get by. The fact that people kept fucking off and replaced by new ones everytime I clocked the hustle means I am correct - there was a shakedown operation happening out front. All the while? There was only one security guard - and all he did was check ID's. I'm sure the dude would've done more if he was properly equipped though. Y'all sincerely need to get your shit together. That was fucking awful. If you are a woman, or empathetic - do not come to this establishment. Apparently you do not have a choice in the matter, you will be manipulated somehow.

    Honestly really disappointed with the way security handled things. Instead of actually looking into…read morewhat was going on, the guard immediately jumped to kicking people out without even asking questions. It felt like the decision was based more on personal bias than anything that actually happened. If security is there to keep things safe and fair, they should at least take the time to investigate before throwing people out. Acting like a tough guy and refusing to listen doesn't solve anything it just makes the place look bad.

    One and done! First…read moretime here and I'm good....dont need to come back! lol Fun indoors/outdoors venue for events (music, shows, club nights, concerts, etc.) -- makes it so that itis accommodating, spacious, and it doesn't get too crowded or uncomfortable for anyone. The music was on trend....lots of your old school hits, classics, today's pop, rnb, line dancing music and even country songs.....and the crowd was an eclectic mix....young, old, everything in-between and all over the place to be honest! lol We came here as a night cap for some late night drinks and a party vibe. We at least got that and I can say I've been here. In all, cool spot and venue but just not necessarily my kind vibe...if you catch my drift. One thing to share....the drinks are mad strong and the bathrooms were super clean. lol. Worth a visit when in this area and looking for something to do on the late night tip....because most other places in the Baltimore Harbor area are closed by 10pm or before midnight.

    First, parking sucks. If there was any reason to show up early it's to find better parking and…read moreavoid the parking garage. Otherwise, loved this smaller venue that really lets you get up and close to the stage. More and more fantastic artists have been coming through here and not going to some of the other venues in the baltimore area. The drinks are at great prices, which is suprising for a venue and even more surprising for baltimore. Definitely keep up to date with the events that come through here because there's not much advertisement. And the restaurants in the area are within walking distance and great to grab a bite before the show.

    The Metro Gallery is an institution of amazing well-known and up-and-coming bands and performances…read more I greatly appreciate that the bar has a selection of alcohol and nonalcoholic drink drinks that don't feel limiting. I recently attended the 2025 Subscape and was impressed by their ability to offer a free show at such a quality venue. I can't say enough great things about this place. I do want to give a special shout out to the doorman who who informed me that they were at capacity, but ultimately allowed me to enter after I waited for 20 minutes as he confirmed that their staff was able to allow another person in as people started to leave. This place is one of the many reasons why the Baltimore music scene is awesome.
