I've walked by Idle Hour so many times and never went in, and now I wish I'd visited sooner, this place is great! I finally went by this past Wednesday (2/21) for a listening party. Right away, I was taken with the vibe of Idle Hour. They have totally pulled off dive glam in there. The whole back wall has string lights that provide an ambient glow. There is a bar that runs almost the length of the wall across from the door and several high top tables and chairs. I sat at the bar and enjoyed how attentive the owner/bartender was. He tended to us and everyone in the establishment like beloved children...well, that's what it felt like. I had a nice cider while I was there and my friend who doesn't drink went with a mocktail the bartender created on the spot. Bathroom facility was nice but be aware there is no mirror in there so trying to fluff your hair or reapply makeup is not happening. Overall, looking forward to visiting again!

This is my first review of 2024 :) - this is an awesome chill and cozy neighborhood bar in Federal Hill. Highly recommend for a quick drink or date night with conversation. The drinks are excellent and strong .

The drink was just okay! ( not what I expected) But the bartender wasn't really nice. She acted kinda of mean, and none of us was happy with her behavior. The atmosphere was okay.

this bar is so sick i hope they never close
Relaxed atmosphere inside with delicious, boozy cocktails.
Awesome little dive that turned me on the chartreuse. Looking forward to another night of streamers and red lights soon.
this was actually the worst experience i have ever had. they had the rudest bar tender i have ever had
Awesome little Baltimore bar, chill bartender too.
