The food menu had a decent amount of variety but we all settled on the burger, which was delicious. The meat was juicy and the bun had a nice chewy texture. I had the super food salad as a side, which was also delicious. It had a kale base and an Asian/soy sauce dressing. I could've eaten another salad it was so good! The drinks were great quality too. The Amaro Daiquiri was my favorite. I also had a Frenchie, which was yummy. Service was solid as well. Can't wait to come back!

This place…read moreis not your normal deli, once you go behind the cocoa cola machine, you're literally transported into a wonder hidden gem serving prohibition style cocktails and delicious deli sandwiches. When I tell you I felt at home here. The staff were so personable and chill, they also had a cool playlist playing. I got the Italian cold cut. Soooo good, the bread was nice and crusty. The portions are huge so you will be full. The drinks here are fire. The Eden on Eutaw is there spin on a Negroni. Fabulous. I also had a dirty martini with gin, delicious as well. I got in on the earlier side of the evening, round 6ish, it was quiet, the crowd came pouring in round 7-8. They also have a dj spinning on Saturdays at 9ish. Definitely will return for that with my friends. But this is a really cool place to stop in on a date, with your good girlfriends, or a spot to just come before the crowds. Either way you can't go wrong.

We first walked in and it looks just like a deli and I was like oh wow this is smaller than I thought it would be and someone came out of the soda machine so we need to walk-through. The bar was really cute. The music was fantastic. The wallpaper in the lounge area was perfect. We ordered our drinks at the bar and food. Although a sidecar wasn't on the menu, I asked the bartender if he could make me one because I had wanted to try one. He said of course and made it with Cointreau. It was fantastic! I think that is my new favorite drink. The service and the food was so good and so were the drinks. He recommended the lager negra for my partner and he LOVED IT!!! The music was amazing too. We danced to Stevie Wonder to end our night.

I grabbed a classic vodka cran, which was good (how could a vodka cran be bad). The crowd was early twenties to late thirties, with some MICA professors and students out and about.

There are no fancy drinks here, but you are in the heart of art Mecca of Baltimore, Station North right across from the Charles Theatre. It is a very special place. There's an interior red hue that just glows over the entire bar and there's a really cool seat which is a nook and you're basically kind of secluded from the rest of the group. I always come here pretty late at night and one time I trjed to come and and they were closed for a vacation, this is a quintessential cigarette smoking (not inside) bar. Like I said, there's nothing really special in terms of the drinks. They have all of your classic dive bar favorites. The last time I was here I took a shot of Fernette, but the team here is hipster friendly so sometimes good service other times fine. Iconic Baltimore Bar. They also have fun things on the TVs.

The food and drinks arrived quickly, while the cocktail menu does not look extensive there are lots of unique options. Our server even let us know that the bartender would be happy to make us anything we wanted as long as they had the ingredients. My sandwich was so flavorful and juicy and my cocktail was the perfect pair. The ambience was great, the music is at a volume where you can enjoy but still hear the people at your table. I'd definitely return for both the drinks and the food!

I had the old fashioned and it was good display and taste was spot on. Could've had a little more volume but maybe I could've asked for a double. The caprese sandwich was wow. I was expecting something small but it was a good size to share. Deli prices with a good deli sandwich here. The cocktails could have more variety to match the theme. Additionally some handling of customers would be appreciated. While we were sitting at the bar, another person was behind us sitting against the wall with his phone on speaker talking to his child's mother while reeking of cigarettes. I like to think of speakeasies being a bit more upscale but he made it feel like a dive bar. We did not get a second or third beverage because of him.

This bar has a vibe that is unlike any other place in the area. It's a little off the beaten path,…read morea few blocks from the Avenue, so it gets a lot of locals and a lot of regulars. It's a mix of old school dive bar and upscale cocktail bar. Like, you can get a Boh here, but you can also get a $16 craft cocktail that will rival anything you can buy at more classic cocktail lounge or speakeasy. It is small, so you will be forced to get to know your neighbors at the bar. They will undoubtedly be cool, though, because this place attracts a fun crowd. The only downside, really, is that it is so dark inside I can never read the menu, which is written in colored marker on the mirror behind the bar.

I did go on a Monday night, but the bartender was extremely off putting, and just gave off really negative energy but the service itself wasn't horrible. She just was kind of mean. That's said the cocktails here are stupidly good. The old-fashioned here used to be $10 but now it's $14 but it's still so excellent and worth it. It rivals cocktails of really good places and unexpected for this divey place. There is no food, but they do have chips that they sell that are clothpinned along the door and the plantain chips were really delicious. The lighting is really really low towards the back end of the bar, but to the front where they have the TV there's always something interesting. This is a must visit for anyone that is local or visiting, and hopefully the staff is friendlier this time.

It is gorgeous, but dark, and the seating is spaced out enough to give you a bit of privacy. This is a great place to visit when you want to impress a date and ask them all of the awkward background questions about why their last relationship ended. And when you want to drink a fancy cocktail and don't mind paying $15-$20 for the privilege. The bartenders know what they are doing and are super professional, but probably are not trying to listen to your life story. You're also probably not going to meet new people here. It's not that kind of vibe. Basically, this is an upscale cocktail lounge, not Cheers (or Fraziers). And it is a very good one. I love stopping in for a cocktail on the way to dinner on the Avenue, or on the walk home. It is always a treat.

As of now it's a great spot to take pics at the start of your night. The cocktail menu is pretty diverse, including a delicious gin-option. When the venue fully opens, I'm sure that this spot will fill the void left behind by the Rockwell, connecting with a younger generation. The staff here is super friendly and excited to see the culture grow around this club. :) Vibe: Downstairs looks like a more colorful version of the bar scene from the movie Tron (2010), while upstairs reminds me of a a carnival fun-house.
