    a crowd of people at a party
    Nicole B.

    Your basic bmore hole in the wall establishment. It's actually larger than it looks from the outside. The music was good and extra loud I enjoy that and the drinks. The best part is the lightskinned bartender in the back. She knows how to make a drink. I didn't try any of the food...lol...the floor was sticky. That's it

    Celebrating

    I am not a regular club goer, but love coming here. They owner always go out the way to make sure every patron is having a good time. You can celebrate your birthday here. The bar is fully stocked with high end brands. This place also has the best bartenders. Thursday nights is karaoke night. They also have tvs for entertainment, and kitchen that serves some good hot platters or sides. There is street parking, free after 6. Happy hour is ftom 5-7.

    Great bartenders and food

    Attending on a Saturday is great evening. They have the best bartenders. Food and drinks prices are great considering they are VERY heavy handed on the alcohol. Lounge is split into two rooms with restrooms in the middle. ATM is on-site if needed.

    Lounge area has a small dance floor

    Where everybody knows your nameeee... And they're always glad you cameee... Lots of laughs but yes it's like a High School reunion everyday - Drinks are well made - so if you're not a drinker take it slowwwwww - a Melba's drink is not for the traditional beginner. The music is great Hip Hop/some RnB - I love the Lounge area in front but if you want to dance and Party hard - come thru the doors and head straight towards the back area Club - Go with friends or stop in solo you're bound to spark up a conversation with someone- most people who come are over 30 - it is a 25 an older establishment- I have a blast - It's very safe - Mingle Monday's is the hottest night - I prefer Friday's kinda in the middle - unless it's a Holiday weekend... Great customer service - Security is always on Deck - Parking plentiful and above ALL for ME REAL GLASS - I'm spoiled - that "Red Cup Life" doesn't work for me...

    Look at Keith and Lisa ready to jam at Melba's.
    Lisa H.

    Wanna get your life? Come to Melba's and do just THAT. They play your favorite music... old school, little hip hop. Me and Keith have so much fun getting our favorite brew and dancing!!!

    The best DJs I have come across in Baltimore. Fridays and Mondays are lit! If you want to dance all night, this is your spot.

    Cool spot, the music was on point too. Old school hip hop & R&B. Definitely a mature crowd with a few young ones mixed in.

    This spot has been on my list for the last 3 or 4 years. I finally decided to go when I saw it was…read moreright next door the auto shop I took my car to recently. The staff here was very nice. 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.

I knew this spot to be mostly Caribbean and Afrikan. It gets crowded after midnight but a comfortable crowded. Drinks weren't to pricey. I drank fruit punch. I wanted to check the place out sober. 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 mean it's up the road and who wants to always fight for parking downtown. The ox tails were okay. I like the food and atmosphere. 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.

Environment was clean, not too crowded and lighting/special effects were perfect. Drinks were good and not overpriced. Cover charge was 5 bucks. I really enjoyed myself and so did my friends. The DJ played a good variety of music. As the night progressed they played more Caribbean and African music. I really enjoyed myself and I would return in the future.
