Reviews
We quickly learned that The Owl Bar has hosted countless celebrities, names like Sarah Jessica Parker, Al Pacino, Danny DeVito, and many more have all dined or sipped here. They have also hosted well-known performers, musicians, and even political figures over the decades. Hearing stories from the knowledgeable Brian (our bartender) made the experience even more fascinating.
Their happy hour menu offered excellent deals on both food and drinks. I ordered a margarita and wings, while our friends enjoyed their cocktails and a pretzel. We were tempted to try the brick oven pizza — they have a real wood-fired oven installed after the remodel. Except, we had dinner reservations later that evening. Next time, it’s definitely on our list!
The atmosphere is nothing short of stunning. Stained glass, vintage decor, and a dark, intimate setting create a warm and elegant vibe. My favorite touch? The zebra-print booth seating — a bold and unexpected detail that gives the space real character.
Service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff was organized, friendly, and efficient — no wait time, quick cleanup, and plenty of attention to detail.
It’s bittersweet that the Belvedere no longer operates as a hotel, but we learned that many of the rooms have been converted into private condos. The building still hosts events and weddings in its gorgeous ballrooms, which you can even tour on weekends.
If you’re looking for a place that blends rich history, atmosphere, and quality service, The Owl Bar is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommend!
1 East Chase St
Baltimore, MD 21202
The Belvedere first opened in winter over a century ago, on December 14, 1903.
Hotel Belvedere, as it was originally named, played host to some of the most famous and influential people alive.
Its opening was the social event of the season attended by leaders of art, fashion, industry and finance, gangsters and detectives, developers and financiers, royalty and presidents, movie stars and sports heroes were drawn to its doorsteps.
Probably the only reason I may go back is for the Oaxaca Old Fashioned – that 1 drink was at least a 4/5.
My mom got a burger and said it had nothing going for it.
Honestly I would not recommend this place for the food. But the drinks and atmosphere (and location) seem to be keeping them in business.
Not this bar though…. I hope.
Because while perfectly polite a discerning patron would find the service lacking.
The martini I ordered came quite strong and quite tepid. Not blended nearly enough to keep it crisp. I was drinking room temperature gin after two sips.
Then – well meaning as it was – a bartender started going around the bar spraying cleaner right onto the bar. Not her towel or away from patrons/drinks but right in the bar, getting spray most certainly in, near, and around the drinks. A simple issue that could be fixed.
Lastly – I went on a slow Saturday apparently: last call was 9:45 with an abrupt and resounding/blaring “The Party’s Over” by Willie Nelson. Yes – it was time to go at 9:53p on a Saturday.
I just hope all those celebrities had a different experience or I fear few others will show up in the future.
Accessible through the hotel. Dress preppy, maybe business casual. Don’t look homeless.
Fresh area. Good food. Good beer. Can’t go wrong.
