I want to like this place but it honestly gives more overhyped DC energy than a quality Baltimore…read morecocktail bar. The drinks are fine, the food is mediocre. But my issues is the staff. It can be completely hit or miss depending on who your bartender is. And last night I witness a truly disrespectful interaction between my friend who is a WOC and one of the bartenders. I understand having a limited drink menu, but each time my friend asked for a recommendation she was responded to as if she had just spit in that woman's face. The final straw was when my friend said, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with most of these drinks. What do you have that is sweet?" asking for a recommendation. The bartender looked at her and said "sugar" then rolled her eyes so hard I'm surprised they didn't get stuck in the back of her head. I understand being over your job, but my friend did nothing wrong. Was not rude, and in return got spoken to like a child. I don't know what the chip on this person's shoulder was, but if you absolutely HAVE to to be vile to everyone you speak to, try a back of the house position because you are actively damaging your bar's reputation.

My best friend's younger sister had a milestone birthday party here and it was perfect. She rented…read morethe space and the layout was wonderful -- with a perfect balance of open standing space, tables, bar seats, and a photo booth. There was a preset menu for cocktails, mocktails, wines, and beer. Some of the mocktails were sweeter than my liking, but it was fine. The staff were awesome. The bartender was solo up until it turned into a cash bar -- she was working really hard! The music was at a great volume, and food was being passed around regularly. It's really a great space for having a private party. And on top of that, while it can fill up quickly, there's free street parking outside. I do wish the bathroom was lockable -- the stall within there is, but otherwise things could get awkward. Pro tip -- it's behind the stage.

Are you looking for something new to do in Baltimore? Are you visiting for a short period? If…read moreso...check out this theater!!! They have unique shows some that are interactive (Mission Implausible), some that are just super bizarre but amazing (Year of the Rooster) and if you get a season pass, you get to check them all out and make your own decisions! I mean AMAZING! Their season pass is extremely affordable and every ticket gets a complimentary drink upon arrival: wine or beer. What a treat!!! The staff and the actors are amazingly wonderful, talented people who come out and chat with you after the show and are just all around fun people! And they are in a super trendy area so you can always find something to eat before or after the show and that is always a bonus!!

Amazing and small local theater. There's about 45 seats in the theater which guarantees that there…read moreare no bad seats. The performers put on a great performance rendition of A Poes Christmas Carol. There's a lounge out front where you can order some light fare. I don't believe outside drinks or food is permitted but the drinks I ordered in the lounge i was able to bring into the theater. Overall, great place to stop in to see a performance. Fantastic date night.

Hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian

Warehouse Cinemas Rotunda has quickly become one of my favorite movie theaters in the Baltimore…read morearea. I've visited multiple times recently and every experience has been great. I recently saw Michael with my mom and brothers on a Saturday, and I've also been back on Wednesday nights to see I Love Boosters and Toy Story 5. One of the best things about Warehouse Cinemas is their Wednesday special--movies are just $8, and many food items are also $8. It's an affordable way to enjoy a night out, whether you're planning a family outing, catching up with friends, or simply treating yourself to a solo movie night. The theater has a fun atmosphere with themed décor and movie props that make the experience feel more special than your average cinema. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and everything has been clean and well organized. Don't skip the concessions! I tried the s'mores popcorn, and it was a fun twist on traditional movie snacks. Pair it with an Icee, sit back, and enjoy the show. Warehouse Cinemas is a great place for last-minute plans, date nights, family time, or a casual night with friends. Between the affordable Wednesday specials, delicious snacks, and enjoyable atmosphere, I'll definitely keep coming back.

Upscale movie theater with a full bar, food options, and luxurious viewing experience…read more Came here with a friend to see Backrooms and loved it! I decided to try a cocktail, and it was reasonably priced. Very similar to what you would get in a restaurant, and it was pretty strong too! I got an orange crush (Baltimore classic) and it came with whipped cream on top, it felt like a whole dessert. They also have an entire wall of draft beers which seemed really cool, I will definitely try this when I come back. They have a ton of food options too, you can get a full meal here if you want. The theater itself is pretty small, and the seats are super comfortable. They are leather and recline, and also have the option to be heated, which is perfect for a chilly theater. The day I came here to watch Backrooms there were a ton of teens, and everybody was talking over the movie which kinda sucked. At some points I couldn't hear the movie over the audience. Maybe I just got unlucky with the time I decided to go. In general, if you're looking for a more classy and extravagant movie-going experience, this is the spot to be in Baltimore!

We have had the chance to do the paint thing several times now, all at different locations with…read moredifferent instructors. The was our favorite by far. To be up front about things Brooke our teacher is also Co-owner, and I think her style and approach bodes well for anyone taking a class from her organization. We were lucky enough to be in a class comprised of only my three family members (one of the benefits of going on Easter ). Judging from the set up they do not overbook their classes like other groups do. And they allow children as young as twelve which the groups who do this in bars and restaurants simply don't. They have a minimum age of twenty one. The instructions were ear and the pace was casual. Brooke was very flexible in working with us, going as far as allowing our daughter to modify the color palette and adjusting her teaching to make sure my daughter got the effect desired. Before we left the next session had been planned so I would have to say we will do it anything. Check out their website they do a large variety of painting and quite a few special events. A fun way to spent a few hours. Even without the alcohol

Disappointed with the customer service. I was planning my birthday festivities and wanted to have…read moremy party here. I recently went to a YELP ELITE event hosted by Painted Palette fell in love with the place and decides this would be a fantastic idea for my birthday. I called looking for something at least 5 weeks in advance. I called left and message and a day goes by I dont receive a call back. So I call again and again and again, I get the voicemail each time. I decide to send a email. I receive a pretty quick response. The day I would like is booked, bummed out a little but hey Im flexible. I request two other dates one date is booked for my alloted time and the other date had a inquiry but the party had not booked as of yet. Well I let Becca know that I would take the date if the other party did not book. She emailed me back, thanked me for my flexibilty and told me she would get back to me ASAP. well this has been the longest ASAP I have ever endured. I have not heard back from her and I actually took the time to stop into the studio to see if the date had actually booked. I Spoke with the co owner who told me she would take down my information give it to Becca and I should hear from her that evening. I really dislike being kept in limbo its very unprofessional, my time is more important than the money I spend. A simple email back or phone call letting me know I had not been forgotten or the date was booked is all I needed. Anyway I booked with another company, My Birthday "Paint nite Baltimore" will still go on. Ladies if you do happened to read this, I think you have a great concept and I really did enjoy the Elite event, however your follow ups and response to phone calls definitely need some improving.

I admit, I came here for the instagram photos. I didn't get exactly what I came for because you…read moreonly see a limited number of rooms in the house and you can't take photos on the first floor (to protect the artifacts) . . . but it was still a worthwhile trip! First, call ahead (there is no online system so you do actually have to call) to make sure they are giving tours and at what times (only certain days of the week, last tour usually starts at 1 PM). This mansion is another relic from the gilded age, however this one isn't completely stuck in the past and is a living, breathing arts venue. The last residents (she died in 1956 I think) had no children and left it to Johns Hopkins University with the specification it be used as an art museum. And there is a lot of interesting and attractive art, though it's mostly art by European white men. That's just what the owners collected . . . but our docent told us they are trying to diversify the collection by purchasing pieces by artists of color. The libraries are actually part of the Johns Hopkins collection and students can make appointments to come read them or use them for research. There are some nature books and some Audubon books that are so large that they require two people to move and turn the pages. There is also a reading room for students. It was previously their bedroom, which they didn't want displayed. There are some fun little quirky rich people things (if you dissociate from today's capitalistic hell). A 23K gold bathroom. The second wife who lived in the residence was obsessed with herself and had multiple paintings and busts of herself around the home. And her bathtub was surrounded by mirrors, including a mirror on the ceiling. A bowling alley that was turned into a display space for all their expensive artificacts. A lot of Tiffany glass. Antiquities. My admission was 10 dollars with a AAA discount. I think regular admission is 12 dollars.

I do recommend calling to confirm when a docent is available, but if one is, it is definitely worth…read morecoming. There is plenty of parking as it's a bit away from the main Johns Hopkins campus. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and explained a lot about each room and answered all of our questions. There are a lot of beautiful and unique objects, even though unfortunately photograph isn't allowed in the good rooms. The sheer amount of books they owned and how they present them is pretty inspiring. The Garrett's having their own performance/stage area is pretty unique, and you can even rent the space out if desired. At the end, there's a great display of their Asian art collection, and then suddenly you are back in the gift shop where you started, which has some good items. The tour was more than an hour, but it was really interesting, and all the employees were excited to answer questions, so you could see their passion. It's a great tour and worth doing if in Baltimore.
