Recently visited for a friends bday outing…read more While here I had the mini crabcakes and a few drinks. The crabcakes were good. Ample fresh crabmeat in every bite. The sauce had a delightful kick to it. To wash it down I had a glass of Rose and the Nightswimming drink. Both drinks were good. Adequately boozy. The vibe of Bloom is very chill and intimate. The decor is a plush dark velvet. Service was good. I'd definitely visit again.

This dark and moody little spot off the lobby of my hotel was the perfect place to stop for my…read morefirst cocktail in Baltimore and to enjoy a bevvy before heading out for dinner. The vibe here definitely gives 1970s, and the small, intimate space would be the perfect spot for a date night or ladies night. Since I was solo, I sat at the bar and ordered a delish Ocha Kudabai from their newly-released spring cocktail menu. I also had fun talking to the bartender, who was knowledgeable about literally ALL things Baltimore (and made a mean drink as well). Highly recommend not skipping this place if you're staying at (or near) Hotel Ulysses.

There is a dark candle lit ambiance. I could actually hold a conversation with others cause the music wasnt too loud. I absolutely loved that. Definitely going back and trying a dish or 2 next time.

It's a cool spot. It was a little hidden like most Speakeasy's which I love. When we entered it had…read morea cool dark but calming vibe and they weren't too busy. 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.

I have been on the hunt for my "cheers" and the hunt started here. I went one night with friends…read moreand grabbed seats at the bar. This place is so cozy and surprisingly easy to park. The vibes are right and the bartenders were nice and chatty, the only reason this place isnt "my" place and doesn't get 5 stars is because they dont make a very good dirty martini and thats like base level. I asked for it extra dirty and I could barely taste the olive brine, I actually had to have him pour more in front of me lol. Also service was a little slow. So for grabbing a quick drink with the girls sure, but staying as a regular nah.

The interior is absolutely beautiful, cozy, intimate and welcoming, with a wide variety of drinks to choose from.

Even though we had made a reservation, there wasn't a hostess to greet us and confirm it once we arrived. Elias came from behind the bar, cleared a table, and seated us. The drinks were spirit forward which we both love and balanced. I didn't look at the menu beforehand so I just assumed bar fare. Was surprised to find crabcakes and salmon on the menu. Both were yummy but the brussel sprouts stole the show!

I was looking for this to be a big place. However, you had to actually go in thru the Cross Bar…read moredoor and Slush Garden is located on the inside to the left. It wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be on a Friday night. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. They do not serve food but, food can be purchased inside the Cross Bar. I ordered a PAIN IN THE ASS slush with an extra shot which was a mix of rum runner and Pina colada. It had a nice taste to it. This is not the drink for someone who is looking for something strong. I did enjoy mine. They didn't have as many selections as the places I've been to out of town that are similar to this kind of place. Go check it out and write a review so that I can read your opinion.

I really love this place! A group of my friends stopped here after Flower Mart in Mt. Vernon…read moreyesterday for a bite to eat. The space is dark and cozy. 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. I had the super food salad as a side, which was also delicious. It had a kale base and an Asian/soy sauce dressing. I could've eaten another salad it was so good! The drinks were great quality too. The Amaro Daiquiri was my favorite. I also had a Frenchie, which was yummy. Service was solid as well. Can't wait to come back!

He does this for safety as the surrounding area is rambunctious. You must bring your own drink if you are drinking alcohol. He has a set up for a small fee.

Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.
