My friends and I came to the Rockwell as we usually do in the night of 4/6. We normally have a great time, however the men at the back left of the back bar were harassing us all night. They looked as if they were working but they kept shoving us when we accidentally bumped into them. It was quite busy and crowded and I’ve never had a group of men shove me like they did. My friends and I were very put off by their weird and abrasive behavior. The bartenders and bouncers were very cool (as usual). Just not sure what was up with the group of Hispanic men in the back…

I have been going to The Rockwell every Thursday since November for their weekly EDM event. I have met countless friends and local artists. As a queer person, It’s great to have a place I can go with consistently welcoming service.The happy hour is good and the regular prices are reasonable. The best part is, they allow you to bring food!! If you like EDM definitely check out the Rockwell on Thursdays.

Security literally doesn't check bags(3 on us zero checked) or wands for events. It's about setting the prescribed space. Let alone in Baltimore City. Not friendly for Marines or Trans folks unless convenient. Virtue signaling staff overreacts and double down. Non ADA compliant front entrance.Glad they replied at least.

Happy to revise my review if emo music returns! Came here tonight on Friday 3/22, everyone in the crowd wanted alternative music and the DJ wouldn’t listen to feedback. Plenty of other bars around that play pop songs, we come to Rockwell for 90s/2000s alt rock. End of an era if this continues. Very disappointing.

Shout out to the security guard working 3.16.24. Doing his job and having fun at the same time, we salute you sir.Been coming here for years, it's one of our favorite places. Wide variety of popular music.

I went here with my friend for her birthday and they gave us free shots! it was so fun, the music was great and we were able to go up on the stage! just also ordered a green tea shot and the bartender was flipping the bottles for us as he was making them (he dropped it a few times)

I had my 22nd birthday party here, and it was absolutely amazing. The club does everything to make sure you have the best experience and made everything seamless and as easy as possible. They gave us two bottles of free shooters (which is SO generous) and had the best DJ who played all the songs that got all the girlies turnt.It's a great venue with a stage for the drunk girls to dance on (lol) and the service was amazing. Abe (and the whole bartending team) was so accommodating, and they even sent me a thank you email afterwards! I bought a round of drinks for my group, and they didn't make it feel like a big deal/a lot of work at all. They weren't badly priced at all, either!I felt so appreciated as the birthday girl, and I am definitely coming back on a regular night with my friends! I will recommend this place to everybody and am so excited to go back!

Super fun bar! Drinks were good. Lovely staff. Good music from the DJ. Was a little smaller than I expected, but didn’t stop anyone from jumping and dancing around! I was hoping for a little bit more of an Emo vibe, but they did play some pop punk bangers. They really made my fiancés birthday one to remember!

Favorite place to dance in bmore. I grew up listening to emo/pop punk so to have stumbled in this place, it's literally the best.
This place is a small yet well thought out space with light shows and theaterical visuals. The proces are fair and the staff is friendly. Its always a vibe in here.

Amazing music and the live drummer on Saturday Dec 2 was amazing!!!! He matched the beat perfectly to every different song change by the DJ. The drinks were great and the staff are kind and top of things. We are in our upper 30s/mid 40s and had an AMAZING night out and felt very welcomed. The patrons were also super nice. Incredible vibe...best night we have had out in a LONG time.

I think we can all agree Thursday’s inherently suck, at least that was until you came here to see Cici bartending! Cici is 1000% the reason i come into rockwell. her energy is what brings me into the place. seeing her every week brings a boost of seratonin into my VEINS!!!! she’s so freaking rad j’adore her down ❤️

I have been going to Rockwell for about two months and the reason I come back weekly is because of Cici. She is the most attentive and respectful person. She lights the whole place up. Hands down the best bartender. Can’t wait to see her soon!
