He does this for safety as the surrounding area is rambunctious. You must bring your own drink if you are drinking alcohol. He has a set up for a small fee. The spot had a lot of seating upstairs and down. The music that night was hip hop. It was a cool vibe and the owner was nice. He sells good quality Shisha.

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.

The interior is absolutely beautiful, cozy, intimate and welcoming, with a wide variety of drinks to choose from. The service was quick and friendly; the staff took the time to explain the drink menu and made sure our waters were always refreshed, all without ever making us feel rushed. This spot would be perfect for a date night or a fun evening out with friends.

The sauce had a delightful kick to it. To wash it down I had a glass of Rose and the Nightswimming drink. Both drinks were good. Adequately boozy. The vibe of Bloom is very chill and intimate. The decor is a plush dark velvet. Service was good. I'd definitely visit again.

The vibe here definitely gives 1970s, and the small, intimate space would be the perfect spot for a date night or ladies night. Since I was solo, I sat at the bar and ordered a delish Ocha Kudabai from their newly-released spring cocktail menu. I also had fun talking to the bartender, who was knowledgeable about literally ALL things Baltimore (and made a mean drink as well). Highly recommend not skipping this place if you're staying at (or near) Hotel Ulysses.

Small place, but it was not overly crowded. Several tvs and a good amount of seats. I will return. One negative thing... lack of A/C.

My husband and I enjoyed the convicted ambition, ephemera & gossamer, don fulano reposando margarita, & beguiled with delight. All of which were great!

We also enjoyed the beef tartar with the perfect crusted garlic bread slices. Overall, absolutely blown away by this spot! Case and Ted were the perfect combo bartenders that vibed off each other!

I had a several questions for 3 different staff members I encountered and they were all happy to answer my questions and had good energy. The burger I got was unique and very much a craft burger. 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.

The bartenders were okay. Not to talkative just made drinks pretty much. I was a bartender so having conversation helps you make tips . I would come again.

I never been inside the smaller bar they have Next door during the week but I know that is the original location. Give it a try. I felt safe and there was no fighting or drama.

Next up was the cheesesteak egg rolls - very flavorful and the sauce was good. We did crispy roasted brussels sprouts with bacon. YUM. We also did the dirty south chicken and grits, which was exciting for me bc I'm allergic to shrimp, and it's almost always shrimp served with grits.
