    I had high hopes for the Manor, especially because they have happy hour 5-8pm on Wednesday - Saturday. Ambience was very nice and upscale. I loved the vintage look and the music playing was a vibe. We were a large party and they sat us in the back. I would say it was better suited for a party no larger than 10 ppl because we had 13 and 3 people had to squeeze around the bar table next to the table and barely had space. Food was a hit or miss and service was very slow. Some food came out cold, some overcooked, and some orders didn't come out until we were trying to pay the bill. The Brussel sprouts were great. The chicken caesar wrap was good but it needed more caesar dressing. My friend had ordered the chargrilled oysters and they came out dry and overcooked. I ordered fried cauliflower bites and they were supposed to come with a house sauce. They forgot my sauce and I had to wait for them to bring my sauce only for them to bring cocktail sauce. After trying to track down our server with no luck, I find her behind the bar and inform her I got the wrong sauce. The other server/bartender next to her says (all loud and wrong), "well you got shrimp and that's the sauce it comes with!" I politely replied, "No, I actually ordered fried cauliflower bites." She quickly apologized and goes get the sauce and brings it back to the table. The house sauce was just marinara sauce and it did not to help the lukewarm and soggy cauliflower bites. The drinks were also inconsistent. I first tried the watermelon margarita and didn't care for the taste. The watermelon syrup tasted like medicine. I then opted for a classic margarita. The first one was great but the second one was very watered down. Now back to the slow service. I believe the issue was the weren't staffed to handle a large group. The place wasn't really that busy. The server and food runner kept blaming the kitchen staff saying it was a language barrier and that's why the food was slow to come out. We also felt rushed because our server claimed it was another large group after ours. We were trying so hard to respect the next party's reservation time but it was nearly impossible because of the food and service being so delayed. By the time we left, it was 30 mins after the other group was due and they never showed. The only reason I gave 3 stars instead of 2 was because they comped us with a round of tequila shots. I believe this visit was an one and done for me.

    This is a cute spot. I think when I go again, my focus would be more on drinks and music rather than including food. The night that I went, the manager shared that more than five people had called out, so I'm trying not to hold the service against them. It was clear everyone was working really hard and trying their best. The food took a really long time to come out and unfortunately, it wasn't the best. The pasta was super spicy, which I was not prepared for, but it was enjoyable. The chocolate cake was served cold, and as a result tasted a little gritty. The drinks were nice. The crab dip was all right, but did not come with enough bread to eat it. And when you asked for more you had to pay an additional fee. Overall, I would come back, but I would just make sure I ate somewhere else.

    This place is beautiful. Like, old world, old money, crown molding, wooden paneling, gold filigreed wall sconces, wallpaper that cost more than my car, fancy. It's also huge, with 3 floors and about 4 different bars/spaces with different vibes that house different events. I can't speak to the food here, but it is a great place to drink a glass of wine, listen to music, or catch a comedy show. It also has reasonably priced mocktails, if that's your thing.

    A gorgeous historic lounge with a few floors and outside seating. I was invited to support my friend as she was getting her bartending license and her first test was working at the bar here. The staff was kind providing support to the bartending students and while servicing customers. The live DJ was sweet too. I wish I got to hang around a bit longer, but we definitely agreed to come back again to enjoy this space at its full potential. Also, if you get to come here get the chicken wings.

    The decor is on another level. The drinks are reasonably priced and the service is smiling.

    This place is super chill. Dress nice, come to spend quality time with yourself or friends. The service gives friendly and sort of like southern if that makes sense. Be mindful/patient at times when they are super busy or packed. But the food is good and they have hookah and brunch on the weekend and a lovely happy house menu!

    Came here on my birthday 2/18 and the drag show was phenomenal & place is gorgeous. In the words of Beyoncé, "10 10 10s across the board" for the performers. The reason why I had to give it an overall score of 3 stars is because of how unorganized the seating was. I bought a total of 9 tickets and my entire party had to sit separately. Granted we were all in the same row but it was in pairs and luckily the co-owner was able to add me a table to seat 4. Another young lady after me had 12 tickets so I could only imagine the stress she went through with that. There was a line prior to 11am when they open and there is only street parking and nearby parking lots so must arrive early. Once seated and situated, there is a specific drag brunch menu that is no where available online. I called once a week for about a month of planning my bday to ask what's on the menu because I have tree nut & peanut allergies. Each person who answered could never provide me that info and kept telling me to call back. I forgot to snap a pic of the menu but it consisted of pick 3 items for $25. Choices were chicken & waffle, French Toast, biscuits & gravy OR pancakes for selection #1. Selections 2 and 3 were sides of bacon, sausage, eggs or potatoes. One glass of orange juice or cranberry juice was $4. The shocker though was 1 glass of mimosa was $20 while bottomless was $25. Several of us got bottomless and it was 75% orange juice. The food was actually good for majority of us but I was disappointed in the mimosas and it took forever to get a refill. My girlfriends at another table ordered Pineapple Mimosa and they said it tasted like straight pineapple juice. They do not give you salt and pepper at the table, my mom had to ask for it. The pepper mill was the size of a hookah once brought over and used only by the waitress. During the show, it was a total of 5 performers and it went on til 3pm. I had never been to a drag brunch but I've been to a drag show so this was one of the best shows I've seen. Evon Dior Michelle was an excellent host, fantastic performer and gorgeous! Sapphire stole the whole show, we loved her! The entertainment part of my birthday here was 5 stars, management just has to really get organized when it comes to seating. When you see an order for 9 seats, create a table for party of 9 just like any other restaurant.

    This was my first time at the Manor. I met three of my girlfriends here for a Sunday Brunch event. They started off a little late for the event. They were very busy. They had all the tables full. They were pretty short on the wait staff, so it's understandable. They do offer parking around the back of the manor. The brunch was held on the first floor. They also have a second floor level that was not open to the public at the time. They do have a unisex restroom, which was clean. Another plus. The wait staff and everyone were so nice in accommodating our group. We all loved the show and brunch. I had the Manor Breakfast Special with a Mimosa, which was also delicious. The show was very entertaining. I would love to return. Everyone said they had a really good time. So we will be back.

    It's Pride Month and my cousin and I wanted to do something fun to celebrate so we decided to go to the Manor for their drag brunch. Tickets for the event must be purchased in advance and tickets for the entire party must be purchased by one person. Your ticket purchase is considered your reservation so the number of tickets purchased let's the staff know how many people are in your party. Parking was pretty easy. There is a paid lot behind the building which is $7 for the whole day on weekends. We arrived pretty early and were in front of the building right at 11:00. However, we had to wait outside for at least 15 to 20 minutes before the doors opened to let us inside. Once inside, I gave my name and we were directed to a table in the bar area. I was disappointed in this because I got there early hoping that we would get good seats. I saw a couple other empty tables that were in the main dining room and one of those tables remained empty the entire time we were there. If you get seated in the bar area, you won't get the best view of the show. I ended up ordering the bottomless mimosas and the chicken and waffles. My cousin asked if you could change the flavor of your mimosa with each drink and the bartender said yes. However, she brought the mimosas out in carafes. The carafe was full to the brim so my cousin asked the bartender if she could pour her drink for her so that she doesn't spill it. The bartender says, "oh you'll be alright" and walks back over to the bar to continue making drinks for other people. Eventually, she came back over and poured our first drink for us so we could avoid creating a mess. Needless to say, the mimosas were weak! I drank damn near the whole carafe and didn't feel the slightest of a buzz. I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. Usually after two or three mimosas, I'm feeling some type of way. Not here. On the other hand, my food was pretty tasty. I just wish the portions were a little bigger. I saw pictures of other people's food from months ago and it definitely appears they scaled down on the size of the waffle. The drag performers did an excellent job and the show was a lot of fun. I'm really torn with this place. I really enjoyed the experience but wish I had better seating especially since I was there early. Also, the service was not the greatest. After we received our food, the bartender didn't come to check on us at all to see if we needed anything else or to clear our dishes off the table. I give The Manor 2.5 stars but rounded it up to 3.

    Ya'll. The ambiance in here is amazing! You might be familiar with this historic building as it once housed The Elephant. It's gotten a bit of a facelift since then with moody, colorful lighting, a bumping sound system throughout, and a few other updates. But much of the building remains the same including original Tiffany light fixtures, Tiffany glass, and the gorgeous stained glass dome you can see above the spiraling, wooden staircase. If you love historic buildings, you will be in heaven. I haven't had a chance to try anything from the food menu here but I did come by for a quick drink during a girl's night. I got a dirty martini and my friend got a tequila and soda. We were in a bit of a rush, otherwise we would've stayed a bit longer to explore since this place is three stories with several different rooms with different themes. They do a drag brunch on Sundays and karaoke on Wednesdays. After hours, this place is known for their strong drinks and immaculate vibes. I was a big fan of the woman bartending on this particular night - she was authentic and hilarious. I'll definitely be back!

    I really think that The Manor only deserved two stars, but the food was super tasty and the show was awesome, so I wanted to give them a bit of grace. The possibilities for this venue to be great are there, but management is lacking. Hopefully this review will help them make improvements. My experience here last Sunday was very lackluster. I purchased my ticket online, to celebrated my friends' birthday. A few of my other friends attended the Drag Brunch months before and really enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to a good time. My friends and I arrived around 1030am, as the venue is first come, first serve and with a party of 11, we wanted to ensure we sat together. The venue was set to open at 11am, but it didn't open until at least 15 minutes after. When we entered the venue, I was taken aback by how gorgeous the establishment was. Baltimore truly has some of the best, hidden structures! The venue was fairly clean, but we noticed open napkins and straws under our table. Luckily, the tables were cleaned. Unfortunately, the cups on our table were not so clean., so I ended up sending mine back. Cleanliness is important, but of course it is even more critical during Covid! My party was one of the first to be seated but one of the last to be served. Our waitress said that she was not experienced at serving, so why they would give her a large table of 11 guests is beyond me. We literally had her running rampant trying to fulfill the orders for our table. For brunch, I ordered goat cheese croquettes and the chicken and waffles. I also had the bottomless Rose. The food, once we got it, was very good. The Rose I was served was Andre, then later a bottle of Wycliff. Both of two of the most cheapest champagnes on earth. Not sure how the can justify charging $25 for bottomless drinks only to give you a bottle that's less than 5 bucks. Now, to the Drag Queens!! These ladies put on an awesome show! This was my first and I was thoroughly entertained! The show honestly made up for the horrible customer service we received! Hopefully the venue makes some improvements so that I can support these queens in the future!

They have a lot of dry-aged meats here (including their burger), and I thought it was good and still a little juicy. The fries were average fries. I also got an orange crush that was also good, a cider, and sampled their slushies. They have a strawberry bourbon slushie I really liked. I would have ordered it but it was strong and I had already gotten the crush, so I'll just have to come back for it. The other slushie was a coffee one and I'm not a huge coffee person, but if you like coffee, you'd probably like that. Children are allowed here until 7 pm I believe. Unfortunately, they do not do tours (anymore). I'd like to see them bring this back because I'm always interested in the process and also hearing about how things are produced. You order food on one side (and can also order cocktails on that side too) but the beers and others are ordered on the brewery side. You're able to open a tab on either side though and it will be connect, so you don't have to do multiple transactions. Cool interior as well.
