    Dropped in to check out the Late Nights event here at Keystone Korner & enjoyed. Was pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was still open & ordered their Honey Old Bay Wings with the Sweet Potato Fries. I enjoyed them both & appreciated the amount I was given. Some venues are "skimpy" with their portions. They have a DJ spinning & that was definitely an added plus. The crowd there was really enjoyed themselves which added to my experience. The staff all seemed very pleasant & my Server, one of the Managers there, was super pleasant and even shared with me info on ownership and whom manages the Day to Day operation. I look forward to returning the take on a show.

    I came on Saturday evening with my family and we had a great time. This was our first time at the venue and the place was clean, had good service and good food. We sat at a booth that is supposed to have no obstructed view but, we could only see part of the stage. However, it wasn't really an issue because there are a bunch of TV screens and its not as if the performers were doing anything onstage besides standing and playing which would could hear throughout the venue and see on the screens. The only thing I will note is we ordered burgers and on the menu there is an option for regular fries, sweet potato fries or truffle fries. One person in our party ordered truffle fries and when we received the bill there was a $3 upcharge. This was not indicated on the menu or via the server. Overall, we had a good time and look forward to another evening out.

    Great times at Keystone Korner! I've been trying to get to this spot for the last few years and I was recently invited by a friend of mine to attend a free jam night. There is a two drink two food minimum, but well worth it for a great date night. The service was quick and the bartender was very knowledgeable. Shows sell out quickly here so keep an eye out on the regular calendar for upcoming acts.

    Butter cake was the best dessert of my life, hands down.

    Fantastic music and food with smooth service. I wondered what to expect when visiting this jazz club with a restaurant inside. Having dined at most of the Robert Wiedmaier restaurants, I had high expectations, which were met, and in the case of the butter cake, exceeded. My date and I took our seats in the warm lounge, which had warm lighting and elegant wood tones. Beautiful. Our servers were prompt and took our orders and requests with ease. Both of us ordered burgers with fries and some cocktails, which we enjoyed. Now for the music: blown away. While I wasn't particularly focused on the jazz, the vocalist was so talented that I had to pay attention. It was that good. I'll have to assess whether that is true in more cases, but in this case, the tickets were well worth it. Back to the most crucial element: the butter cake is the best dessert my partner and I have ever had, with a rich salted caramel sauce that blew me away. I plan to return just to order it again! Keystone Korner is a fantastic date site that I recommend without hestitation.

    Amazing burger

    I attended a tribute to Mary J. Blige. It was my first time at this jazz club, and I was pleasantly surprised. I think the stage could probably be a little bit bigger because there are seats where you can barely see anything and you have to use the screens mounted on the wall. But it's such a small cozy intimate club that you want to be able to see the stage and not use the screen so make sure you get your tickets early so you can get the best viewpoint. The performer was OK. The stage area was a little bit kind of antiquated, but the rest of the club made up for it. Our server was so attentive and sweet. The drinks were good and the food was amazing. I had a burger and the actual meat patty itself was seasoned...like homemade. Plan accordingly.... there is a required two menu item minimum per person.

    What a gem of a place this is! I went here for the first time to see Kenyatta the Band play and I was so happy that I finally got a change to come by. It was a sold out show. It's a Jazz restaurant with the perfect lighting, vibes and jazz artwork nicely decorated throughout the area. I sat at the bar and loved the soft glow of the lights up top once the band started to play. The food was delicious, service was great and the stage set up was perfect for any seat in the house as they also have big screen tvs so you don't miss a thing. This is the perfect place to watch an intimate jazz performance and enjoy some good food. They have a great lineup of performers throughout each month and now that's I've finally made it here, I will definitely be back!

    Came for the vibes, stayed for the saxophone. Service? Top tier. They treated me like I was Beyoncé's cousin or something. Attentive, friendly, and they didn't act weird when I asked ten questions about the cocktail menu. The food? Ehh. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't giving grandma's cooking. It was giving... slightly seasoned effort. I ate it, but I wasn't texting my group chat about it. The wedge salad was amazing!!!!!! Now the drinks? Whew. Strong enough to make you text your ex and then block them again before the second round. Whoever is behind the bar clearly understands the assignment. The real star of the night though? That jazz band. When I tell you they were blowing like rent was due tonight. I almost threw a shoe on stage in appreciation. They had me in a whole mood, swaying like I had rhythm. Would I come back? Absolutely. Just maybe after I eat somewhere else. But I'll be posted up by the band with a strong drink and good intentions.

    This was my first visit to this venue. It definitely did not disappoint. Parking can be challenging, I recommend taking Uber if it's a feasible alternative. The interior is a moody lounge jazz speakeasy vibe. There's complimentary coat check by the front door. The drinks were delicious, the food was good, the service we received was so-so. Our server never looped back around to check in on our party until it was time to pay the bill. Unfortunately I have experienced this before in venues where the gratuity is built into the billing. The show was amazing and the acoustics were great. I am looking forward to future performances at this venue.

    We had reservations tonight to come and listen to Carmen Santana and her band @ Keystone Korner in BMo . We ordered drinks and appetizers from the menu. Two orders of oysters and an order of chicken wings. To drink I had a lemon drop with sugar on the rim, two Michelob beers and a sangria. I Love the VIBE in this place. Ambiance is Fire. The service is Great; our server was Corri and he was excellent. The Live Music was off the Chain. Overall experience was DEFINITELY 5 Stars.

    Sweet potato fries with great music and friendly staff. 10/10 recommend

    Sweet potatoes fries with great music and friendly staff. 10/10 recommend. Great to come alone or with a group

    Beer battered Bronzino and brussel sprouts (sorry already half eaten)

    Bestie time! Chrisette Michele owes me nothing but if I wasn't sitting at the bar I would've probably thrown my shoe!!! Her voice and talent, she's a master at her craft!!! The seats were great!! Bartender was stellar. Food delicious! I had cream of crab which was flavorful with some chunks of crabmeat throughout. Not lump but still tasty. For an entree beer battered Bronzino and brussel sprouts. Let me just say I've never heard of this high end fish being fried. But they nailed it! Batter was crispy, fried hard just like I like it but the actual fish was meaty, flaky and not greasy! Always love the vibe and the monitors everywhere ensure you see from anywhere you sit.

    Great old-school bar, Great music every day!…read more We are always happy when we can catch a band at Cats Eye Pub in Fells Point Baltimore. Lots of rock and some americana. We were even happier to catch a blues band the other day! (Jun 2026). Charlie Owen & Pocket Change gave a great performance, with some well-known songs and a number of good more-obscure ones. It's fun when they feature one or another band member for a riff. We also love the divey character of the bar, while the crowd is more hip than divey. It's dark and gets crowded. The stools at the bar and by the windows always fill up. The ones along the wall come and go. The dance floor is usually packed. There's a room in back with a few tables, too, and you can hear the band from there, too. The bar has a full selection. They have around two dozen beers on tap, mostly crafts, some standards. Morgan pulled us a Snowball Sour draft from Dundalk's Key Brewing. It was smooth and creamy, only lightly sour, a fairly mild flavor, but well-balanced and pleasant. Steven served us a Banhez Mezcal, nicely flavored, rather mild in that trend to over-refine the bite out of agave spirits. He brought out a tequila that he likes, though i dont recall the name, also smooth and not bitey. We ended with a pure shot of Absolut Peppar, normally an ingredient to add some spice to bloody marys. On its own, there really is no spice, just the dark and slightly bitter bite of jalapeño and black pepper. We love Cat's Eye Pub! It's one of very few spots for blues in Baltimore.

    Fun spot for live music or to take in a game or some people watching in Fells Point!!…read more Check out the Filthy Mittens next time they're playing!

There were some buildings lit up and trees lined with lights, but where were all the main attractions and interactive displays? With so many people and the event so spread out, I felt it was hard to really find anything. The displays we did see (after waiting in long lines) were underwhelming. Mini light city was a cool idea, but on the night we went, it started closer to 6pm (rather than 5pm). I think the highlight of the evening was Impulse (sit on one end of the seesaw to see lights and hear some sounds as you go up and down) and The Pool (hope on circular platforms as they change color). If you start on the wrong end, you'll miss the nightly parade. The festival did offer a variety of food and beverage stands throughout, which was a nice touch. If you aren't already spending the day in Baltimore, I wouldn't make a trip specifically for this festival. If you do go, make sure you check out the schedule and map before hand to maximize your experience. Be prepared for massive crowds!
