Just discovered this place. Definitely one of the best bars in Baltimore I’ve been to. The sisters that run the place are super-welcoming and make great food/drinks. Highly recommended.

I desperately want to give a bad review because I don’t want everyone to know about this spot. lol. However, I must give props where props are due, this place is a whole vibe. So unassuming from the outside but the atmosphere within is a while vibe. I was there for a Sofar event but arrived early for a bite to eat that didn’t disappoint. The women behind the bar were exceptionally kind and welcoming, with a whole Cheers vibe when some regulars arrived. I’m looking forward to going back soon!

Great atmosphere, food, prices & service! They host a silent book club that’s pretty awesome. Just attended my first of hopefully many tonight! For anyone with germ worries, You view the menu and order through toast on your phone which is super good (post Covid world is no joke). The people who work here are awesome, friendly, and just all around wonderful. A definite must go spot in Baltimore.Ps- ignore all the bad reviews, I’m convinced those people were delusional or maybe just wildly unhappy with their life and trying to drag others down with them. Although the responses to their angry disrespectful rants were chefs kiss entertaining perfection! So give those masterpieces a read, maybe at their next book club!!!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options! Ample non alcoholic drink options too!

This place is a gem, and we must support and protect at all cost! The owners are awesome ladies, the vibe is immaculate, and the food is great.

I have now been to Old Major twice to for comedy shows and food. The atmosphere is cool and laid back with a large variety of bar offerings. The owners and staff are warm, friendly and accommodating. My group tried many of the menu items and enjoyed them all. Love the yucca bites! Check out this funky spot-you won't be disappointed!

I came here for a comedy show and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The staff was very friendly, my cocktail was perfect, and I loved their tater tots. This is a very cool neighborhood bar and I really got that community vibe while I was there. I'll definitely be coming back again.

just overall an unpleasant experience with the bartender and bouncer. both bartenders were extremely slow and didn’t know how to take orders or make basic cocktails. my friend waited a really long time at the bar to order a drink and was told to write her order down, I am an experienced bartender and I have never told a customer to write down their order. the bartenders looked so inexperienced. this was my first experience at the old major and it will be my last. I will tell everyone I know not to come here.

Honestly, 5 stars isn’t enough. The food was outstanding and authentic. The yuca bites and the jackfruit flatbread were my favorite. I’m not a huge drinker but if you are they have some great options for that. Everyone at my table raved about the drinks. I love that they have different seating areas depending on what vibe you’re going for that day. Their ordering system it my favorite as it allows you time to really look at the menu without having to wait for a server to come once you’ve made your decision. I can’t believe I’ve lived in Baltimore this long and never been!Vegetarian options: Multiple FLAVORFUL vegetarian options. (I’ve been vegetarian for 15 years and can generally tell when a restaurant adds veggie options as an after thought to the menu for extra $$)All of their veggie options were well thought out and delicious

Was there on Friday night and had a great time doing karaoke :) Only downside that you need to download an app in order to put in a song, but you can bypass this if you make friends with someone who has the app haha

A pleasure, and pleasant surprise.I've visited on three occasions, on the second one the bartender had committed my drink to memory and remembered my name.Great service!There is always a friendly, informative conversation to be had at the bar, the food is visually appealing, tasty, and moderately priced.Old Major gets two thumbs up!

Delightful and honest owners and staff. Fantastic cocktails and food. Lots of alcohol-free beers and mocktails to choose from as well. Unique and interesting events held regularly. There is a reason we come to this neighborhood-focused venue every single week. It's perfect.

This my first visit to this establishment and definately the last. I am very big on customer service as it is the poster to the place. I was invited there by a friend on Friday. When I got there I felt the place was pretty cool and something cooking smelled wonderful. The friend that invited me is a neighborhood regular that is no slouch when running a tab. Upon sitting for at least 15mins he went to the bar to get my group (3 ladies) a drink. He came back with a posted note and instructed us to write down what we wanted to drink. I found this insane as I had never experienced this is any other bar that I have been. However we wrote tito with some seltzer (2) red sangrias and below the sangrias a straight seltzer. 15 mins. later we received the drinks and they were all incorrect. I had one of the red sangrias that tasted like seltzer and my sister complained of the same. We both pushed the drinks to the middle of the table as they were not drinkable. My cousin that ordered the tito and seltzer whom also wrote the note complained that the full glass was just seltzer as she tasted no tito. So originally thought she had given the wrong drink to my best friend that dont drink that ordered the straight seltzer. Of course she never tried hers afraid that it had the titos in it. When the waitress came to serve the table next to ours we informed her that the drinks where incorrect and the 2 sangrias just didnt taste good. She responded "yall will just have to come to the bar because I am getting confused" in a very nasty tone. At that point I was ready to leave as her attitude was unacceptable. 3 of the 4 of us went to the outside smoking section to smoke a cigarette but my cousin stayed at the table to clarify the drink situation. While outside smoking another waitress that announced that she was the owner came with the bill wanting to know who wrote the note and explained that the red sangria was mixed with seltzer as it was on the note. We all reviewed the note and explained that there were 4 lined items and the seltzer was a separate drink which had to be known otherwise they would have served 3 drinks instead of 4. While trying to explain this to the owner she yelled "well yall are going to pay this bill" as she turned to walk back in. She approached the neighborhood regular as she know he spends well there to tell him that he had to pay for all the drinks even though they were all still full and left on the table. He gave his card to his gf to pay for the drinks and the owner got very angry that although he said to just pay the bill because he dont like conflicts his gf did not tip. The owner began yelling asking the neighborhood regular if he was ok with her not leaving a tip. By this time the group of us was exiting with the owner claiming that the drinks were correct while also arguing with another 2 ladies sitting at the bar and threatened to call the police. After we all left disguisted the neighborhood regular apologized to all of us that he had invited us for such a horrible experience. One that cost him extra money as she did not remove the drinks that we didnt drink. I am not here to bash but just to explain that this is not very good customer service and no one she go out to have a good time and leave with a negative experience. One of my friends decided it was necessary to write a review in which the owner responded with slander and character deflamation. As if the experience wasnt bad enough her claiming that we all "were all in her smoking section smoking weed without permission" is outlandish. To say the least if this the case why didnt she call the authorities to report such behavior that could affect her business? I dont tell anyone not to support a business because you could have a very different experience, but please pay close attention to the owner (Candiace) responses to all of the not so good reviews. She is very defensive, insulting and deflective. No one is trying to bash you but we do have a right to express the concerns. You could better your establishment by acceptin
