I came here after dinner in Fells, and it was such a cool, swanky vibe—definitely not what I expected from a hotel bar in Baltimore!
Drinks were good and reasonably priced, but it did take a while to get our order in. We didn’t have to wait for a table (even on a busy weekend), which was a win for our group of four.
Great spot for a date night or hanging out with friends. Giving it a 3.5 but rounding up because the vibes were good.

The decor here is beautiful and really unique, and that’s the only positive thing I can say. My boyfriend and I came in on a busy day but were still able to get a table, so we assumed we’d at least get some level of service. We were wrong.
We sat there for nearly an hour without anyone acknowledging us; no menus, no water, nothing, while other tables around us came, ordered, drank, and left. It was baffling and honestly felt like we were invisible. We ended up leaving without ordering, and we won’t be coming back.

Swanky 80’s Miami Vice vibe with good drinks and good service. I’d definitely recommend it.

I visited two weeks ago while in town visiting a friend. The first night we stopped by without a reservation and found it was standing room only. The place was so cute that we decided to come back the next night with a reservation to get the full experience. In hindsight, we probably should’ve moved on after the first try.
The second night, we were seated without issue—but that’s where the positives stopped. We waited over 30 minutes just to be acknowledged by a server. Another table sat down after us and was greeted within five minutes. We ended up flagging someone down just to place a drink order, and unfortunately, the drinks weren’t worth the long wait. After finishing them quickly, we waited even longer to cash out. By the end, we couldn’t leave fast enough.
The ambiance is definitely cute and makes for great photos, though that excitement was short-lived after being told there was “no flash photography.” Overall, we were really disappointed, especially after giving the place a second chance. Hopefully others have a better experience than we did.

Waited 25+ minutes for drinks that never came. I don’t recommend this place. I do recommend The Coral Wig - the bar downstairs in the hotel. Much faster service.

Simple throwback speakeasy with a relaxing vibe. Service is always top tier along with playful list of cocktails to try.
I was served an egg white cocktail that had been sitting on the bar since I came in, so at least 10 minutes, and for who knows how long before that. That’s a health code violation, generally lazy (only 3 other tables in the restaurant), and just really gross in general.

Nice service, and my table was ready in accordance with my reservation time (not always the case with certain places).
The ambiance steals the show. Great vibes for a business or casual conversation, that’s not centered exclusively around dining.
For a bottle of sparkling water, a cocktail, and a mocktail, I paid $40 before tip.
The cocktail I got tasted like medicine a little bit. The one with vodka that’s $14. I had to add my sparkling water to make it palatable. The mocktail was cool, not sweet and not super memorable.
The cocktail my friends got, though, was SO good. It was green in color and had froth. Get that for sure. Moderate street parking.

WARNING - I strongly caution anyone who glances at the 4.5 rating and does not believe the numerous and consistent one star reviews.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed. After reading reviews, my wife and I were thrilled to go here, well, I should have listened to the other one star reviews. They are very consistent with the experience - a nice but cramped space to take pictures and get a good drink, paired with ATROCIOUS customer service.
I had booked reservations for 9pm and we showed up at 9:03. On the Resy website it stated that our reservation was limited to 90 minutes. Upon arrival we were informed that another group had "bought out" the side of the lounge area we were sitting on and said we would be limited to one hour. Our order was taken a few minutes after we got there (according the receipt our order was taken at 9:13). By 9:28 we received our drinks (I know the exact time because I took a picture of it). At 9:40, the check was dropped off at our table and the server did not even speak to us, they just put it on the table. We asked for one more drink after flagging down the server who ignored us the first time. The response was "you cannot order another drink because there is not enough time." This was at 9:41 - we had 20 minutes remaining on our already shortened reservation.
After this awkward interaction with our waiter, we asked to speak to a manager and were told there was no manager available. This was confirmed by the hostess and she said that the only way to reach a manager was by emailing the front desk of the hotel that Blooms is located in.
This was an awful way to end my wife's birthday celebration. I was embarrassed.
The wait staff being rude and inconsiderate pales in comparison to the lack of leadership and management of this establishment. The money that we were spending is just as valuable as the money of the party that entered after us. If you are unable to properly book your bar, you should not be managing it.
Needless to say, we will not be returning, and again, I strongly caution anyone who glances at the 4.5 rating and does not believe the numerous and consistent one star reviews.

Unfortunately Our barback was a little rude and after ordering caviar and oysters I requested a napkin ( I never received a cloth napkin after asking three times). The bartender made a wonderful martini and provided me with bar napkins.
