"Blooms is a stunning cocktail lounge tucked inside the Hotel Ulysses — a true gem with a regal, vintage ambiance that transports you straight back to the Roaring Twenties. The plush velvet booths and ceilings, paired with charming vintage lamps at each table, create an atmosphere that’s both elegant and nostalgic. The staff were kind and attentive, even amid a busy Saturday crowd. We arrived around 5:30 p.m., and by 6:30 the lounge was nearly full. It took about 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive, which is understandable given how popular the space is, but something to keep in mind if you’re visiting during peak hours. We tried The Matchmaker, Summertime, and Sateen Daydream — all beautifully crafted and strong cocktails, leaning more on the bitter side rather than sweet. While the drinks weren’t exactly my go-to flavor profile, the craftsmanship and presentation were impressive. Blooms truly shines as a venue for live music and performances, which they host on weekends (check their website for event details). I’d definitely return to experience a show in such a stylish setting. It’s not my top pick for a casual cocktail, but for atmosphere and entertainment, Blooms is hard to beat."

"So I went to blooms on a slow Saturday night. Inside is super nice, & I do love the vintage 70s aesthetic of it all. Idk if they take reservations, but I just walked in &. A hostess sat me down. The velvet couches are a nice touch, though they aren't the most comfortable IMO. It's small, can probably hold about 50 ppl total. But for it to be a slow night, the service was even slower, surprisingly. Getting my waiter's attention felt like the hunger games :( she served me and would disappear for 30 minutes. It took nearly another 30 minutes just to get the check after I asked. I'd go back, but I wouldn't get a table. I'd just stand at the bar, where the service seems quicker. My drinks were very good! On the pricey side but that's to be expected with cocktail bars these days."

"This is by FAR!!! The best lounges I have ever been to. This bar was made for me ❤️ My type of scenery. We were in town for the Ravens and Steelers game and had to stop and check out. Highly Recommend 1000/1000 🌟"

"I came here after dinner in Fells, and it was such a cool, swanky vibe—definitely not what I expected from a hotel bar in Baltimore! Drinks were good and reasonably priced, but it did take a while to get our order in. We didn’t have to wait for a table (even on a busy weekend), which was a win for our group of four. Great spot for a date night or hanging out with friends. Giving it a 3.5 but rounding up because the vibes were good."

"Maybe the best looking bar I have ever been to! Best one in Baltimore for sure. A decadent cocktail lounge in Hotel Ulysses, Bloom's is host to near-nightly happenings, inspired cocktails and sublime eavesdropping. Bloom's is a stylish ode to the gentlemen-only bachelor apartments, combining the art deco glamour of its 1920s glory with the irreverent revamps of the '70s and ’80s. The result is a decadent cocktail lounge of glitz and grime, a place where dreams are sublimated and angels and sinners find communion."
