    Happy Hour is 2 for 1!  Don't judge me.
    Ken Y.

    So this is my third or fourth time coming here. I have to say that the so-called 2 for 1 happy hour is not what happened tonight. There's no way that two drinks should cost $37. Two mediocre drinks. Especially in Bmore. Nope, I'm good.

    Free buffet food on a tuesday.  Drink was not free, that was $10

    Came here on a Tuesday night to see my friend perform a dj set. Happy hour prices end at 7. He played all 90s music. Line dances and some old school bmore house tracks. Its hard gettin the bartendars attention at times. The place itself is pretty small. They had a free buffet which consisted of delicious fried chicken wings. String beans and yummy mac n cheese.

    Pam, the best bartender, ever. Sexy and sophisticated!

    So I want to thank Ms. Ann of The Place for hosting my aunt's 60th Surprise Birthday Party. It's one of Baltimore's best kept secrets. The music is great- think Stevie Wonder, Luther, Earth, Wind, and Fire; old skool house and reggae. I love the atmosphere, not pretentious, but instinctively chic, while still managing to be as familiar as your coolest uncle's house party. The crowd is mature and the drinks are always great. I recommend their signature drink, "The Place." ***But be advised it's strictly for the grown, sexy, and sophisticated. Ann and Darnell won't tolerate foolishness and have a strict and enforced dress code.***

    Grand Mariner and Hennessey.  $18.00. I'm so worth it and more. Lol

    For the mature. I really did enjoy myself here. I came here after event that was near by with a couple of my yelp friends just to have a drink. Let's just say I had two. The vibe was just right and the bartender was friendly. Nice small but, clean and friendly place. I would return.

    Just a taste of Strongbow!

    Can 19 year olds participate in karaoke?

    Unfortunately they can not.

    Are there any mature dance spots in Baltimore? I'm in my 40s and looking for a good place to dance.

I'm not actually sure but the cocktails are good. I think the vibes when I went was off. Granted I did go on a weekday where it was pretty empty. I did really appreciate that they were chips of ice in the cocktail, cause it was a really hot day, so I made sure that the drink stayed really cold and delicious. Water is self service. They shift their menu a lot which I think is really nice for the community. The cocktails are on the pricier side they think they start around 14 or 16 which I think is a little too much for a local neighborhood bar.

The vibes are right and the bartenders were nice and chatty, the only reason this place isnt "my" place and doesn't get 5 stars is because they dont make a very good dirty martini and thats like base level. I asked for it extra dirty and I could barely taste the olive brine, I actually had to have him pour more in front of me lol. Also service was a little slow. So for grabbing a quick drink with the girls sure, but staying as a regular nah.

This bar is inside the Hotel Ulysses, once entering the lobby, it's up the stairs and on the right. The dimly lit, mirror covered walls, and plush velvet seating adds to the upscale vibes. We were quickly attended to by a server and placed an order for drinks. My mom got a drink that included something called shrub (never heard of this before), but the server warned us it is a bit vinager-y and different, but that was ok for us. I ordered the Ocha Kudasai and my mom got the Zahara. The Kudasai was like a lychee green tea drink, it was light, slightly sweet, and delicious. The Zahara was different (as promised), but actually delectable. It had a flavor that I had never had in a drink before, but in a pleasant way. If you're an adventurous drinker, definitely try the Zahara! Love the vibes here, I will definitely be back.

Found this place on Yelp. It's inside the Ulysses hotel. It's really posh, and probably great for a date or a girls' night out. We chose to sit at the bar and leave the intimate spaces for people who were in that mood. Bartenders were really friendly and helpful and attentive and knowledgeable. I think we ended up with the Delorean and the Walking Iris, and shared the mini crabcakes. All were very good.
