Super fun atmosphere whether you are looking for an easy going spot for dinner or a wild weekend night, the vibes are always good! Great happy hour (until 8pm every night!!!). Not to mention all the different specials they offer throughout the week! Went to Bingo with a few friends Wednesday night, and highly recommend it. I Will definitely be back for that and their viewing party for Game Of Thrones! More...

Celebrated my birthday this past weekend in one of the booths upstairs in the mezzanine. My friends and I had an absolute blast. Lauren, the Events Coordinator, was a pleasure to work with and made the process seamless. She ensured everything was set up upon our arrival and even coordinated a few surprises with my best friend :) I highly recommend the booth and alcohol package options for celebrating an event with friends.

this place is hands down the best bar in fed. They have an awesome happy hour deal every day for both food and drinks. Its a pretty versatile spot, I've been there as a fun daytime hangout, and also at night (it gets pretty packed so id suggest getting there early before the lines get long). Also highly recommend for hosting events here because the space is beautiful! More...

Best bar on the S Charles street Federal Hill strip. Happy hour everyday from 4-8pm, TVs everywhere that always have the major sporting events showing, and two stories with two different bars that makes the nightlife party the place to be whether you’re visiting or a local.

Super fun place to be. They always have awesome events! Drag brunch bingo on Wednesday nights are by far my favorite :)

One of my favorite spots in Federal Hill! Fun atmosphere and the staff are super friendly. My friends and I have hosted several private parties at The Charles over the past few years and have had great experiences every time. I recently worked with Lauren on hosting a few birthday parties over the past few months -- she's awesome! Not only was she attentive and personable, but she ensured we had everything we needed in advance and was more than happy to help with our extra requests. Thank you, Lauren and team, for another great party!!!! More...

The Charles has been an excellent addition to Charles Street. A great place to go out with friends and not be overwhelmed with a crazy amount of people. The atmosphere is awesome and the food is great! I would highly recommend the fried chicken sandwich. More...

What a wild and fun night here at the Charles in Baltimore! Its easy to see why this is such a popular venue. Wether you’re here for a beer and a hockey game or to just enjoy a night out with friends, The Charles is sure to please! Atmosphere is terrific. There’s a long bar with a massive TV screen for big games, and an upstairs bar and dance floor. The beverages were A-grade as well. The Jager bombs we ordered went down extremely smooth and has us feeling ready to dance! DJ played great music from today’s hits to rap classics. One thing about this place that caught me by surprise? THE BATHROOM. Easily the best bathroom I’ve ever seen in a bar, it’s clean as a whistle and spacious. Now there were just a few drawbacks to my experience. First off the bar is just not that spacious and you can expect to be bumping butts and shoulders when it gets busy. Drink prices were pretty high too, a round for the boys could leave a man scouring the floor for change just to buy another drink! The Charles definitely brought in a stranger crowd later into the night. Large groups of “frat boys” came in salmon panted droves. They stormed the bar, harassed other guests and even sold drugs. One weird Russian kid kept screaming at his friend John and was constantly blowing vape smoke all over the place. The strangest guest was a man who entered the bar in a full judo gi. I’m not sure what happened with this gentleman, but the entire squad of bar security had to escort him out of the back exit at one point. Overall great experience and I can guarantee you I’ll be down here more often in the summer for some O’s games, jaeger bombs and some late night fun!-Mugsy McDonald, contributor for the Glenmar Herald More...

We hosted our engagement party at The Charles in the second floor lounge. The space was large, and clean. Lauren helped us move the table (more than was necessary! ) and allowed us to put command strips on the wall. The food (specifically the pizza wontons, and fried chicken sliders) was incredible, and everyone complimented it! The only thing I'd suggest not getting would be the soft pretzels as they don't come with any sauce. We're definitely interested in hosting our rehearsal dinner in the space! More...

Waffle sliders. Oh man, so good! The rest of the food we tried was good, but not on the same level as the sliders. Drinks were tasty, but a little over sugared. Definite upgrade from Mad River, but they need to decide if they are a BAR or a Restaurant. Right now, it's decent as a mix-up, but more Bar. More...

Very hip and trendy well decorated bar in Fed Hill

Considering its relatively new status, The Charles had my interest as soon as I discovered it online. I booked a table here for Valentines night and was pleasantly surprised to find an upscale, classy bar upon arrival. You're surrounded by a warm, intimate atmosphere on the first floor with booth and hightop seating by the bar. This is in stark contrast to the second floor, where it's obviously meant for dancing and parties. All in all, this is a classy bar ideal for anything from happy hours to group dinners to dinner dates. One quirk however is that the bathroom is located upstairs (why no bathroom downstairs?).The food was great-- expect a tapas style menu with relatively small plates. While I was a bit disappointed that the food took some time to come out on a night not all that busy, I was ecstatic when it did. My favorite aspect of this bar has got to be the drinks-- the cocktails are phenomenal. See below for my thoughts on everything I had:Things I Liked:Nashville Hot Avocado - You've essentially got fried avocado dabbled in hot sauce (it's not that hot) alongside zucchini pickles. I really liked this unique dish-- the creaminess of the avocado is perfect against the fried breading. 4/5Curry Gnocchi - Gnocchi is one of my favorite dishes--full stop. This is a very unique taste, with Indo-inspired spices and chickpeas infusing flavor into the gnocchi. The crisp apples, though seemingly strange, actually work well with this dish. My only issues was that the gnocchi was just a bit too tough for me; gnocchi should melt in one's mouth. 4/5Chicken & Waffle Sliders - The cornbread waffles are very good; however, I wish the chicken was more crisp and that it eschewed more buffalo spice. This dish has a ton of potential-- but it was a bit lacking for me. 3/5Tin Man - This has got to be the signature cocktail here. You're served Tin Cup whiskey with cranberry, lemon, and refreshingly crisp ginger beer. It's very drinkable and goes down easy. The rosemary garnish is the cherry on top. 5/5The Charles Martini - Another great cocktail that is brought together with its lychee vodka and coconut water. 4/5Things I Disliked:Tuna Tartar Tacos - These weren't bad, but they just didn't have much flavor. All in all, it was an average dish and was the only one I wouldn't order again. 2/5The Charles has solidified itself as one of my favorite up-and-coming bars in Baltimore. It stays true to its upscale yet approachable vibe while offering decent food and simply fantastic drinks. More...

We went to The Charles on a Wednesday evening for dinner. The first thing we noticed was the impressive building façade. I love unique architecture and tall, bold entrances. Don’t forget to look up at the tiled ceiling... so cool. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and taken to a booth on the first level. Once seated, we were immediately drawn to the large structure on the far wall atop the bar area. It was more like artwork with the shelving, lighting, tall liquor bottles and splashes of accent pieces. It was very impressive. The structure also encases 5 large screen TVs which gives the room a more relaxed feel. Our server was very attentive and made several helpful suggestions regarding the food and drinks. Since we were newbies, we decided to sample several dishes, including Caprese Crostini; Cobb Salad Deviled Eggs; Curry Gnocchi; Cuban Stuffed Pretzel; Chicken & Waffle Sliders; and Moroccan Cauliflower. The dishes are smaller plates and thus less expensive than a full meal, and great for sharing and sampling more than one item. My husband and I liked everything we ordered. I particularly enjoyed the Caprese Crotini (the tomatoes were perfectly ripened) and the chicken & waffles (the buffalo sauce adds a bit of kick but you can ask for maple syrup or blue cheese to help lessen the heat). I would have liked to have had more of the stuffed pretzel, but my husband took a liking to it so much that he “forgot” to offer me another bite. He really liked the deviled eggs which were super creamy and the cauliflower. My daughter had the cheeseburger which I sampled and it was super juicy and flavorful. Yikes --- Seeing the list of what we ordered, no wonder we were stuffed! As for drinks, my husband had the TinMan and liked it so much that he ordered a second one. My daughter enjoyed the red wine. Had it been a Friday or Saturday night, perhaps we would have tried a few more of their signature cocktails. Our dessert, the Spilt Milk and Cookies, was awesome. It’s a cold chocolate chip cookie dough intertwined on a metal mixing beater, surrounded by a delicious vanilla cream sauce. Yum! After our meal, we asked to see the upstairs (because we’re nosy that way). It’s an open concept second level with a bar, DJ area, and a space for dancing. Along a separate wall are a few more booths adjacent from the first floor TVs. We could imagine the second floor being a fun, upbeat spot on a Friday/Saturday night. It was a great first visit and we will definitely be back. Try it… you won’t be disappointed. More...
