I'd first like to say my boyfriend and I have been going to MK for YEARS, before the new paint,…read morebefore the DJ Booth and before they opened the new MK on Charles Street. That used to be our lil hangout. So my review of the 'new and improved' MK may be a little slighted. Okay one, the location of the lounge is pretty nice, off in the cut of Woodlawn and in the corner of a Shopping center. When MK is opened, the only traffic in that shopping center is for Pejus, MK, and maybe a few eateries. There is a HUGE parking lot so parking is never a issue. The line gets long at times, especially since MK is not that big. Bring your ID, they will ask and frisk. The admit price is a little high (compared to what it was a yr ago). Once you get in, there are couches against the walls, tables, and little stools/ chairs closest to the walkway. The music is hiphop/rap exclusively on the Fri/Sat/Holiday nights and really loud. Hookah: The hookahs are large and you can ask for extra hoses (depending on the size of your group plus a extra charge) They don't mind putting ice in the bowl if you ask. The flavors are star buzz and Al Fahkar - both give a full smoke and nice flavor. (I personally recommend Star-buzz - it seems to last a little longer). MY ONLY ISSUE with the Shisha is that some of the back staff don't pack the top bowl where the shisha doesn't get stuck to the foil which will give you a burnt taste after a few pulls. So if you are a hookah smoker - there may need to be a few adjustments during your visit. Drinks: BYOB!!!! I dont really like the {new} system. They check your bottle at the door, put a tag on it basically connecting it to your party, and they take the drink to the 'bar'. Every time you want a drink, you have to go ::let them pour YOUR drink FOR YOU::. Please be reminded, in the state of MD, you cant 'serve' alcohol after 2. Sooooo MAKE SURE YOUR BOTTLE IS GONE BEFORE TWO! After warnings, they will trash it, and NO you can not bring it out...Ultimately its a nice spot to hang on a weekend where you dont feel like going downtown, Pejus or the Windsor. ***NOTE: You CAN go to Pejus and order a hookah in there from MK (Dont let them tell you - you can't, I've done it.)

It's just a little lounge that has snacks, drinks, coffee, and you can watch the seaplanes come and go. They've got tables, couches, and a little play area for the kids.

The experience has definitely changed over the years a long with the renovations that have taken place. Our most recent visit was this past Sunday 3/22/26. Our expectation was to get a few drinks and get something to eat. We arrived to realize the space has been renovated yet again moving the main bar in the middle of the main floor. The tables had red signs indicating what table numbers they are which gave us the impression that a server would be over to take our order. NOPE! We sat there for about 30 mins before approaching the bar closest to the bathroom to ask if someone would be taking our order and ran into the owner who seemed to have an attitude. He said everyone was busy and that we would have to place our order at the bar. We stood there trying to process the fact that there was no servers for an advertised day party. This was an immediate turn off and I wanted to leave and go somewhere else at this point but we were so hungry so we decided to stay. We placed an order for our food and drinks and paid the bill which of course included gratuity. The bartender made our drinks which were only prepared 3/4 full so we didn't even get a decent drink. I wrote our table numbers on the receipt as we were never asked for that information. The food came out about 15-20 mins later. We all got the catfish. I got two sides, yams with collard greens but I got green beans instead. I didn't even bother saying anything given the lack of care and service we had already experienced. The catfish and the yams were good but the green beans were a bit on the salty side. While DJ Biskit was on point as alway, I have no plans on returning to this place anytime soon. I was very disappointed with this experience.

However, once you entered the second door there was a dim lit bar area with bar stools, tables and chairs. We decided to sit at the bar. We were greeted and given menus. We were told that the happy hour was from 5-8pm and that meant that the drinks were $2.00 off. I chose to get the park height punch considering the neighborhood we were in was Park Heights. The main ingredient in it was tequila. The drink was ok but, just a little too on the sweet side for me. For my food order was a small dark meat jerk chicken with extra jerk sauce with white rice. I wanted white meat but, they were all out. As we sat there waiting on our food I have say they were pretty busy from customers whom had placed pick up orders. There were only a few people actually dining in. I was a little disappointed because I thought they would be playing some Caribbean music but, they were not. There is also a pool table if you like to play pool. The barmaid was friendly and attentive. The food didn't take too long to come out. Let me tell you the jerk chicken did not disappoint. It came with a side of curry sauce and barbecue sauce. I wasn't a fan of the curry sauce but, that barbecue sauce was definitely a hit on my jerk chicken and rice. It was so good I placed a to go order for the same exact thing. I would like to try this place on the weekend during the real lounge hours.

I said, well, maybe it's just a unique fragrance from the jerk sauce. I thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and try it anyway. BAD IDEA! The chicken was dehydrated and tasted like it had been in the refrigerator for days, then reheated for sale. The sauce tasted old as well and had a terrible odor.I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Service was prompt and friendly. I was dining with two companions who opted for lighter fare. Their salads were fresh with dressings that tasted house-made. My Roasted Beet Salad was particularly good -- generous portions of red and golden beets over arugula with goat cheese and butternut squash, finished with a mustard-poppy seed vinaigrette that nicely tied the flavors together. Both the Baby Seasonal Salad and Baby Salmon Salad were well received with no complaints from the table. We shared a large portion of Apple Crisp topped with vanilla ice cream, which made a perfect ending to lunch. The menu leans toward familiar stand-by favorites, which likely explains why this restaurant continues to draw loyal customers. On this cold day the enclosed dining room was comfortably warm, and there is also an outdoor patio that should be enjoyable once the weather turns.

You bring the party - BYOB (you have to purchase their chasers) and either a shared table or if you're lucky enough, you get your own spot. Went for the first time on a Saturday night and it was ok. Every table was occupied and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Security took care of us and made sure we had somewhere to sit. The hookah was really strong so expect a buzz and the wings were really good. The service could be better - it's not like they had much to do outside of replacing coals and bringing chasers. The DJ was actually pretty good - atleast I was dancing. Might not be the greatest business model but roughly $100+ to bring your own bottles and smoke their hookah isn't bad compared to regular table service prices of $300+ min for a bottle you can get out the liquor store.

As we stood in the non-existent line we got a peek into the lounge and it was completely empty. My sister and I were only in Baltimore for the night, we had come from a concert. It was around 9:45/10 pm. If we were in DC or southern Maryland at any place that offered good hookah it would have been packed. So this leads me to believe they are taxing customers at this establishment because they don't get many. I looked dark, empty and dingy inside. Not so appealing especially with their price demands. So we decided to call an uber and find somewhere else to go. The security did let us know it was BYOB so if you decide to go her bring your drink and chase of choice.

She ate her chicken and smoked her hookah. When she did come down before we could even tell her what we had wanted she walked away and started making a drink. I assumed she was making my friends drink cause she was the closest to her when she asked was we drinking. But she wasn't. She then continued to make other people drinks and smoking her hookah. We didn't feel welcomed and I felt like she catered to her homegirls. I remember when you used to walk inside of a bar and get acknowledged when you come in. That wasn't the case. No security at the door and just awful service. I won't be back on a Saturday if she's the bartender.

However, we didn't have any troubles and parking wasn't a problem. They have a lot for parking that fits 15-20 cars but you can also park on the side of the street. The lounge was really small. Their drinks are a bit pricey, if it isn't happy hour. I ordered an "adios Motherf....." and it was $13. However, their drinks are really strong. I drunk 1/4 of my cup and I was really tipsy, so pace yourself if you are driving. The bartender wasn't so friendly. The music was really nice, they played rap and hip hop. The place was really empty though only 6 people were there. I'm not sure if it was because it was a Tuesday, but I arrived at 10:30pm and stayed till closing. My friend told me that when she went there for the first time it was packed so I guess it depends on what night you go. Overall, it's decent if you are looking for somewhere to go on a week night.
