Returned to Sid's recently and was delighted to find they have changed their minimum requirements!…read moreThere's now a $15 minimum per person for groups of 7 or less and $25 for groups larger than 7. No more 2 drink requirement! (Though it was unclear if this was ever a real thing as sometimes they enforced it and sometimes they didn't). They have updated the cocktail list to feature a nice selection of N/A cocktails and energy drinks so you can hit the $15 minimum with one cocktail ($17) or just one N/A drink (the N/A drinks are $14, as is the wine so I'm assuming they don't force you to make up that $1 difference between the minimum which would just be shady -- equally their energy drinks and beers are $7 so two would only be $14 -- again I'm assuming they let this slide). Would still be nice if they offered soft drinks and snacks -- I'd be thrilled with popcorn and a diet coke but this new system is such a welcome improvement and makes the space more welcoming to non drinkers or people like me who simply don't want to be forced to buy a drink.

We bought tickets in advance for the Friday, 6/12/26 show, and we had a blast. Our table was right in the middle, we had a great view of everything and couldn't get over how festive and energetic the vibe was. Had some apps, jello shots, beer towers and so much fun I can't believe it wasn't illegal! In fact, we had such a good time, we went back again on Saturday 6/13! The staff was great, the performers were amazing, in particular, Elisa ROCKED! We are already talking about making this an annual trip.

They were very accommodating and prompt in communication. I was a long-distance bride, so having their punctual responses to emails / phone calls was very important to me. They showed up early on the day-of, had everything set up on time, and even set up an outdoor sound system for my ceremony music (my family performed, but they came through with a full sound system, keyboard, and speakers). My family isn't really a DJ family, so I was looking for something more unique and personal. I listened to a few multiple-piece bands, but I couldn't really tell them apart. Then I found Cutting Edge - they were exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciated that they were interactive and read the audience very well. They played piano renditions of whatever songs were requested, which made it even better. There were songs that I never would've thought could've been played on the piano - but they were awesome versions, even better than the original! They did a lot of fun dueling pianos-things, and even made my husband stand up and sing the chorus to "Let It Go" from Frozen, because one of the toasts mentioned that he knew the words to the song. They played and sang, then put him on the spot when the chorus came and just stopped singing. Everyone loved it! You could never do that with a DJ! I got so many compliments on their performance, and really, I can't emphasize enough how different it was that even my aunts and uncles were out on the floor dancing. It was so unique and fun; I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who's interested.

Got the crab cakes; food was okay, but the venue itself really stole the show! Honestly, it's…read moreprobably my favorite concert venue I've ever been to. The space feels so intimate, which makes the whole experience more personal and memorable compared to larger, more crowded venues. The atmosphere was great from start to finish, and everything felt well-organized. The service was also a highlight, our server was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel really comfortable throughout the night. Even though the food was just alright, the overall experience more than made up for it. Between the vibe, the quality of the show, and the excellent service, it's definitely a place I'd come back to again and recommend to others looking for a unique night out/date night!

The cocktails were veteran made and solid. The dining room is intimate, adding to the connection of the artists and the show. Deborah Bond dropped her new album Amber Dust, a true R&B artist keeping the tradition of the music well and alive. She hosted a listening party show with a customized cocktail menu with drinks named after her latest album! The show was amazing and the sound was clear. Although the menu is a bit limited I enjoyed my crab cakes, which had no filler. Oh and be sure to save yourself time and park in the parking garage across from the alley. This is an amazing little space with big names. Every time I've come here I've always met with the artists after the show. So if you're a super fan and your favorite artist is performing here, GO!

They change the name, the look, but it's the same.. but now it just feels .. dated. It's not a vibrant and energetic place. Also the bartender had to look up how to make a Fuzzy Navel, and that's just embarrassing.

It's that intimate. This gem in Baltimore serves up live music with cozy seating and down-to-earth prices. The only catch? There's a flight of stairs, so it's not ideal for those who need accessible entry. But if you can make it up, it's worth every step. Baltimore show up, show love, and support your business.

Recently patronized for a show. The layout is decent but,…read moreI'd suggest getting tickets closest to the stage for a clear view of the performer. Tickets are sold individually but, you will be sharing a table with other attendees if your group isn't large enough to fill a table. You are required to purchase at least 2 items from the menu. Can be food or beverage. While here I had the crabcake cake and fries. Both were good. Crabcake was tasty, nice meat and minimal filler. Fries were hand cut and crispy. I also sipped on Prosecco. Service was fast and courteous. I'd definitely come again and take in show.

However, he was thoroughly overwhelmed since he was the only one working so service was on the slower side. Also, the layout of the venue is curious to me as there are several spots in which you can't see the stage due to the columns obstructing the view. I'm glad we got a good spot but it could easily have been mediocre had I been seated a couple of feet over in either direction. Nevertheless, I recommend catching a show here when you can.

I tried the Cajun Mac n Cheese which came with chicken on top. It was seasoned to perfection and was very delicious. The temperature of the dish was just right.

But luckily the Jack and Coke was great. The bar tender was very nice and very attentive. He gave provided an awesome service. The ambiance was great as well. Like always, they had live music.

An okay place to get some drinks or relax a little bit before going upstairs for a jazz performance or some dinner reservations.
