They have the,ed nights like taco Tuesday and wine Wednesday. Hookah and karaoke is available in a separate area away from the dining area. Owner comes around and likes to talk to people he hadn't seen before in the restaurant and get there opinions and thoughts on the service and food. Went here with a small group and order a few apps. Ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls, shrimp and chicken fried rice, broccoli bowl with chicken, wings and Mac and cheese. I only tried the wings ( very good), shrimp and chicken fried rice (good flavor but the tail on the shrimp always irritates me). I ordered a bowl of the cream of crab. A bit salty and a little too many crushed up shells for me. I wanted a ribeye steak but they didn't have anymore so I got the t bone. It was cooked exactly how I wanted it (medium rare). Every bite was flavored well. My old fashion was strong and good. I will be going back to try more on the extended menu.

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.

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.

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.

I had an unbelievably bad experience at Owl Bar that I need to share so that nobody ever goes…read morethrough that experience again. My friend called the manager to confirm we could be seated at a table when we arrived while we awaited our third person to join late because we were in a rush to get to the nearby Lyric Theater. The manager confirmed that this was fine. When we arrived, we were told that the table wasn't ready and we couldn't be seated until the third person arrived, even though the manager promised us that wouldn't happen. We weren't able to be seated until fifteen minutes after our reservation time because of this, and we had to beg the server to let us sit. The experience only got worse from there. Our waitress checked in on us once in 25 minutes. She took our order, and the food didn't come. 10 minutes... 20... 30... 40... no updates from her and no food. It got to the point where we had to leave before our entrees even arrived. The only thing that did come, the duck fat fries, were inedible. The duck flavor was so aggressively strong and pungent that you couldn't even taste the fries. We asked our server, the hostess, and the manager for help during this experience, and nothing was done for us. We were told as we were leaving that they were extremely backed up and that the kitchen often has a 50-minute wait time. This isn't true, however; other tables received their food even when they ordered after us, and there were many open tables in the restaurant. Worst of all, they still made us pay! We had to tell them that we wouldn't pay for food we didn't receive. Not a single person who works at Owl Bar offered us anything or tried to turn our night around in any way. I cannot stress this enough: NEVER go to this restaurant. If you're ever in Baltimore, do everything in your power to eat anywhere else--or even just go to your show hungry! This experience was one of the worst I've ever had. Shame on Owl Bar.

The experience has definitely changed over the years a long with the renovations that have taken place. Our most recent visit was this past Sunday 3/22/26. Our expectation was to get a few drinks and get something to eat. We arrived to realize the space has been renovated yet again moving the main bar in the middle of the main floor. The tables had red signs indicating what table numbers they are which gave us the impression that a server would be over to take our order. NOPE! We sat there for about 30 mins before approaching the bar closest to the bathroom to ask if someone would be taking our order and ran into the owner who seemed to have an attitude. He said everyone was busy and that we would have to place our order at the bar. We stood there trying to process the fact that there was no servers for an advertised day party. This was an immediate turn off and I wanted to leave and go somewhere else at this point but we were so hungry so we decided to stay. We placed an order for our food and drinks and paid the bill which of course included gratuity. The bartender made our drinks which were only prepared 3/4 full so we didn't even get a decent drink. I wrote our table numbers on the receipt as we were never asked for that information. The food came out about 15-20 mins later. We all got the catfish. I got two sides, yams with collard greens but I got green beans instead. I didn't even bother saying anything given the lack of care and service we had already experienced. The catfish and the yams were good but the green beans were a bit on the salty side. While DJ Biskit was on point as alway, I have no plans on returning to this place anytime soon. I was very disappointed with this experience.
