The menu was pretty impressive with lots of options. I had the Mai Tai and loved every sip. My friend had the Foxy Brown No. 3 and said it was great. The bartender was super friendly and nice, and we were in and out in about 30 minutes. Can't wait to come back, bring a friend, and try a few more drinks (and take some pictures - I was too busy yapping).

This is the former Kenwood Tavern that really was only open for a year, but it cemented itself into…read morethe history of bars in Baltimore. I think the ownership is with the current Landlord. I'm not actually sure but the cocktails are good. I think the vibes when I went was off. Granted I did go on a weekday where it was pretty empty. I did really appreciate that they were chips of ice in the cocktail, cause it was a really hot day, so I made sure that the drink stayed really cold and delicious. Water is self service. They shift their menu a lot which I think is really nice for the community. The cocktails are on the pricier side they think they start around 14 or 16 which I think is a little too much for a local neighborhood bar.

It's dark in there with pinkish mood lighting. We tried the bubblegum spritz and ocha kudasai. The spritz was our ultimate favorite - sweet & refreshing!!! :) Don't sleep on the crab cakes.... So good

I would like to file a formal complaint regarding my experience at the hotel cocktail bar…read more My friends and I visited the bar with the understanding that it was busy, and we were more than willing to be patient while the staff caught up with service. However, the bartender, Vicki, refused to accommodate us at all, despite our willingness to wait our turn. Rather than acknowledging us or offering an estimated wait time, we were simply turned away. What made the experience particularly disappointing was not the wait itself, but the lack of professionalism and hospitality. We were treated as though our business was not welcome, which is not the level of customer service I would expect from a hotel of this standard. As paying guests, we expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. If the bar was temporarily unable to serve additional customers, a polite explanation or request to wait would have been completely understandable. Instead, the bartender's, Vicki, refusal to accommodate us left us feeling unwelcome and frustrated. While I thoroughly enjoyed my hotel stay, this definitely put an off putting taste in my mouth toward customer service standards. I hope this matter will be reviewed so that future guests receive a more professional and courteous experience. Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback.

It is an older crowd and everyone is respectful. No drama or negative energy. I would say 40 and up. Good luck with street parking (garages are near by if you don't mind a short walk). 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. I found a small area that has a good blower, but could only get to it after some people left... I also had my own handheld fan. Still hot...

There is a secret black door to enter. You can make reservations however, I was unaware that reservations were needed. We waited for about 20 minutes before a table opened up.

We had a party of 7 and we pretty much had our pick of where to sit. The waitress was talking really fast and low and we kept having to ask her to repeat herself. She never slowed down OR spoke louder. Once she had our drink orders, they didn't take long to come out. I ordered the "AKA" it was tequila based and was pretty good. Everyone was pretty happy with their drinks. This is when the night turned. 4 of the 7 of us wanted to leave and head elsewhere, the waitress made ALL 7 of us pay even though the others wanted to stay and order more. She would not budge on this and seemed pretty nonchalant about it. .. all in all. Glad we found it but won't be back.

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.

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.

He offered excellent suggestions and recommendations, and every dish we ordered was absolutely delectable. I had the lamb appetizer, cooked medium-well, and it literally melted in my mouth. It was perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. My partner ordered the short rib appetizer and couldn't stop talking about how it melted like butter. Both dishes were phenomenal! My absolute favorite drink was the Smoke & Mirrors. The bartender did not disappoint, they were generous with the pour, and after two of them, I left feeling happy! If you enjoy a great cocktail, this one is a must-try. The atmosphere was just as amazing as the food. I loved the striking black artwork throughout the restaurant, the hidden DJ booth tucked away in its own little nook, and the incredible mix of '90s and 2000s R&B and hip-hop. I was definitely doing some chair dancing throughout the evening! This restaurant delivered on every level: exceptional service, delicious food, amazing drinks, and an unforgettable vibe. I can't wait to come back for brunch. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

It's urban, upscale, grown n sexy but still family friendly and casual on a Saturday afternoon. There's live music or a DJ and I always appreciate that it's not so loud so that you can't hear your table conversation. My friends and I decided to do something a little different and order some different things to share. The country buttermilk biscuits and jam were heavenly, with that pan crisp on the bottom too? 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. Our server was personable and knowledgeable about the menu, and checked on us consistently throughout our meal. As mentioned before, it wasn't my first visit and it certainly wont be my last.
