The food is very good and the specials are awesome but the service is TERRIBLE. We waited forever to get greeted and even longer for our drinks. If you have somewhere to be I recommend asking for your check at least 30 minutes in advance. This place has real potential, they just have A LOT more work to do on the service.

Good place for after work with friends. Thursday's offers 2-for-1 drink specials. Excellent drinks and delicious food. Great for groups, fun atmosphere in the heart of Mt. Vernon. Street parking free after 6 PM. Come and visit! Wonderful place, I will be back very soon!

Had a great time here. The I haven't tried the food yet but the drinks were good. The bartender Lindsey was really friendly and engaging. Loved the karaoke on Friday night. Definitely will be returning

*Chronicles of a Young Black Explorer - All I want to speak on is Flavor's SPICY BBQ WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The perfect blend of bbq and hot sauce on those wings. Also their pesto flatbread is amazing! Be sure to visit this spot for Happy Hour during the week. Great atmosphere and awesome service! #CHRONYBE

Came here after a disappointing night at another restaurant. I expected the kitchen to be closed but they were still open after 10pm on a Saturday night- serving from the full menu as well as a happy hour menu! I highly recommend coming here for late night happy hour- this night they had bingo. There are other specials each night, too. I'll definitely be coming back!

Impromptu Road Trip from Philadelphia brought us here. There was a Pride event on the 2nd level which was blah. $10 per person to get in and be packed like sardines with mediocre music. I got one drink at the bar where the bartender automatically adds a 20% gratuity to your drink. Ummmm wtf? Never heard of that before. After leaving the sardine bin we headed downstairs where the vibe was much nicer. Grabbed a table and ordered the shrimp, garlic parmasean wings along with the pesto chicken pizza. Food was delicious, service was slow will definitely return won another trip to Baltimore.

Stopped in after working all day in the building next door. Didn't want to drive around finding a place to get a drink and something to eat. Sooo glad I found this place. The bar food was beyond my expectation of quality. Ordered 3 beef sliders. Wow.. I like to consider myself a burger aficionado and the sliders didn't disappoint. Burger was fresh, and on a potato bun making it the perfect bun for such a slider. The coctails, (vodka and tonic) was excellent. They use bottled tonic, not the stuff that is pumped out from a flat vat somewhere in the back. If your a tonic and anything drinker, you understand the difference this makes in the quality of your cocktail. The staff as well as patrons all interacted making it just like going to "Cheers". Being that it was late afternoon when I was there, the crowd, or should I say the other few people there were welcoming. It was quiet, relaxing and enjoyable for conversations. I would go back in a minute. If your in the neighborhood, stop in. You won't be disappointed.

Please hire more bartenders!! The ones here are amazing but they are consistently overwhelmed by the crowds and amount of people on the weekends. One bartender and one barback are not enough on a weekend night! I would come here more often if the service was better and it is not the staff's fault, the management needs to get more people on the weekends. I know the climate is probably hard for a gay/lesbian bar in Baltimore to make money but it is always the same story here. Fun but slow service because they are understaffed.

Live in the neighborhood but have never gone here due to the horrible reviews. I also don't know one person who would say good things about this place. I went to see for myself with friends and literally sat at the bar for 45 minutes without being greeted or acknowledged by a bartender. It wasn't even that busy. When a bartender did acknowledge us, it was to ask us to wait even longer. I left after waiting ten more minutes. One perk, their happy hour late night after 9 was real cheap. Too bad I didn't get a chance to order...

I am reluctant to write this bc I went there with the purpose of supporting an LGBT establishment. There was a comedy show that vasilated between misogyny and homophobia. The bar tender knew nothing about beer. We ordered.two plates of tacos at the same time. One plate came out in 25 min. The other plate came out 30 min after that. So much for a nice dinner together.
Place was fine. Had a long drink menu with cocktails, wine and beer. The drinks seem to be heavy handed plus they have happy hour and daily drink specials. We came after the Monument Lighting so I'm not sure if the place was not expecting a lot of people but service was pretty slow while sitting at the bar, even saw a few people at tables get up and leave or have to come to the bar to order drinks as no one came around. Outside of this they seem to have decent food that looked good but I did not order any. Would try this place again for the booze bingo or happy hour to see if there is a different experience.

Flavor is my go to for Friday nights that I want to hang out and have a fun night. Late night happy hour specials vary from season to season but the people are friendly, service is fast, and there's always music and bingo/karaoke with the LGBTQIA+ community. You will not leave without having laughed and enjoyed good food, drinks, music and company! Oh! And the FRENCH FRIES ARE AMAZING!

I really do love this place! I wish that more people would support this business! Tonight was my third time here and I was not disappointed! We had the garlic parmesan wings, pesto chicken flatbread, and the buffalo cauliflower..Our server recommended the parm wings and they were awesome! We'll definitely be back soon, see you there!

Was attending a women's/mom group brunch today. Friendly staff. Staff was able to give everyone their own checks . I ordered the steak and eggs. It was so delicious. Steak was full of flavor, the eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese. And the arugula had a delicious dressing. All the flavors went so well together. Just heavenly. I will definitely be back and gonna bring hubby back. I know he will enjoy it. Such a cute Sunday brunch place. Plenty of parking on the street. Everyone else's food looked great too. Gonna try the frittata, shrimp & grits too and the oatmeal creme brí»lée. Check it out

Readers, be mindful of the date of other review posts- I get the impression this place has changed over the past few years. And my recent experience wasn't great. We came for Saturday night dinner, thinking a highly rated restaurant like this would be busy. It was dead quiet. Erie. So then you'd think they'd treat us like royalty and the food would be exceptional. They obviously had time to focus on our food. But it was just ok. We had the crap bites with "old bay aioli"... they were served with tartar sauce. Ummm, why didn't the server mention they'd be making a substitution? Then the Caesar salad was overdressed. And our veggie flatbread fell flat. I could've made a pita pizza in my oven and threw some arugula on top to achieve the same flavor. Our waitress was really nice. And the decor is pretty for maybe going out to lunch. It's just a little too harshly white for my taste for a dinner out. The drinks were fine. It just wasn't good. And it's very much a let-down because other reviewers spoke so positively. Thus, I think something happened. Something must have changed. Hopefully they can get back on track? But I will not be returning, sorry to say. PS the happy hour specials weren't particularly special in pricing. Not worth it.
