    If I could give this place a 0 star I would. Quite frankly it lacks diversity and it’s very clear diversity isn’t welcomed. When my group of friends attempted to get in line for the infamous bull ride, the lady (blonde) who works here let the white customers physically cut the line. Why do I believe race is a factor in the way your treated here ..? Because all people of color were at the end of the line. The line lacks organization and all over order. The music also again favors a particular audience but that is for another review. The entire staff need a lesson on diversity. The staff that includes only white people. Overall not my vibe.

    First time at PBR to see Jimmie Allen record release party. Nice place to see a show. Theme bar with honky tonk female staff that dance on bars. They have a mechanical bull. I didn't directly interact with staff, so I can't critique the service. Lot of energy and great people watching. I will go again for live music but not sure for just country party.

    How about you don't kick the only 4 people on the dance floor off the dance floor off so your staff can do the same line dance they have done 10 times that night?

    PBR in Baltimore certainly leaves a memorable impression, although perhaps not always for the reasons one might expect from a night out at a popular bar. The establishment, which aims to present an energetic and entertaining atmosphere, unfortunately seems to walk a fine line when it comes to staff-customer interactions, especially from some of the male staff members. Staff: It has been observed that certain members of the staff, focus their attention on personal endeavors rather than providing professional service. For example, in my observation a tall male with long blonde hair, was noted engaged in extensive in flirtatious behavior with female clientele, often with little regard for the ongoing patron interactions or the overall workflow of the establishment. While this may seem like an innocuous personal victory for the staff member when successful, it raises legitimate concerns about the operational priorities and employment standards enforced by the management. Such behavior not only deviates from the expected professional conduct but also calls into question the efficacy of the business model, where staff engagement seems to prioritize personal self profiting interactions over customer service and satisfaction. This approach could potentially accentuate a mismatch between the establishment's client service objectives and the actual experience delivered, thereby affecting the establishment's reputation and long-term success. On the positive side, most staff members are generally attentive and quick to respond to orders when they are not caught up in the establishment’s additional entertainment routines. Their ability to handle the bustling environment on the busiest of nights, managing high volumes of drink orders with a smile, is noteworthy. Impromptu staff dances: PBR has incorporated a staff-led dance routine into their entertainment offerings, which undeniably reflects an attempt to inject liveliness and distinctiveness into the customer experience. This inventive concept aligns with the bar's effort to provide more than just a venue for drinks, aspiring to be a vibrant, memorable destination. The routine is designed to showcase the staff's talents and contribute to an energetic setting, projecting an image of festivity and fun. However, while the intentions behind this unique intervention are to enhance the atmosphere, it unintentionally disrupts the patron experience. During these routines, guests are required to vacate the dance floor, an interruption that can be quite jarring. This is particularly counterproductive at moments when the dance floor is full and guests are immersed in their celebrations. It abruptly halts the natural rhythm and progression of the evening, creating a fractured experience for guests who are otherwise engaged in their revelry. Such an interruption can be especially poignant during times typically characterized by peak engagement, such as  when the mood on the dance floor is at its zenith. In these instances, the forced interruption due to staff performance has the potential to diffuse the collective energy of the room, leading to frustration among guests. It can dilute the seamless enjoyment of the night's festivities, momentarily displacing the patrons' experience for the sake of entertainment that, while lively, pivots the focus away from the customers themselves. Furthermore, it distances patrons from their own participatory role in the environment they came to enjoy, instead relegating them to the role of spectator. This can be at odds with the expectations set by the typical bar or nightclub experience, where continuous, uninterrupted access to the dance floor is a given. In sum, while the staff dance routine at PBR is conceived with the best intentions to entertain and enliven the environment, it may inadvertently detract from the overall ambiance by disrupting the flow of the evening. It is a delicate balance for the establishment to maintain: cultivating a distinctive and engaging atmosphere while ensuring that its core offering — an uninterrupted space for patrons.

    The place was dead on a Friday night and now I know why. They did last call and less than 5 minutes later we were being told to leave. Somebody I was with was trying to pay his tab and they continued to yell in their annoying megaphone that they were closing. We proceeded to walk outside and basically got followed by the staff (unsure of one certain ladies name but she was awful, stating “the faster you get out of here, the sooner I get to go home.” I still had half my drink left considering last call was not too long ago. Outside we got followed again being forced down the stairs to leave. Literally followed and yelled at to get out. Terrible service. Google says they close at 2 so I’m not sure why we got rushed out at 1:15. More than likely won’t be back- place was a joke

    Our black friend was falsely accused of inappropriately touching the white female manager. He was on his way back from the bathroom and grazed her trying to squeeze past a group of people to get back to us. She accused him of touching her butt and had all of us removed. We tried to get more details from her and he also tried to explain and apologize for the misunderstanding. She misused her authority to escalate things unnecessarily. I have contacted for further investigation because we and another security guard witnessed the event and none of the allegations were true.

    Weird unknown rules make otherwise awesome staff get very aggressive and intrusive in such a confusing way. I really like this place and the people. I was having such a cool laid back time but feel so uncomfortable with how this confusing rule unfolded I don't think I'm going to be able to come back. I'm sure it doesn't matter to them but it is a bummer to see such a fun place and have this experience. Good luck figuring it out. Actually hope you don't and just enjoy your time. Great staff obviously doing their job as told.

    LOVE this place! If u like country music with a bit of old and new music from a few other genre's this is a good place to be. About 75% of the music is country which goes great with the awesome mechanical bull, and sexy women and men employees in cowboy hats and chaps making this place a must have experience.

    This place is just about Always Poppin'. PBR is one of if not the most entertaining venues for night life in Baltimore City's Inner Harbor at Power Plant Live. Manger, Barry Daniels has this place on Lock down. It clearly shows he has developed a rock solid team. They always give you music to keep your twinkle toes high, bartenders that keep your glass full, dancers that are joy to watch and VIP treatment that is expensive but top notch! Even after all that if ya still want a challenge... see how long you last on the Bull. PBR's mech bull can't throw almost anything at you imaginable. You will also see the staff put on a spectacle to show off their Bull riding skills too. Careful you might get an invite to join them.... Think you can keep up!?

    I had a GREAT time here for a friend's birthday, and they put on a pretty good show on the bull that you definitely need to watch! They play all kinds of music, not just country. Only complaint is they don't have many higher end liquor choices.

    Private party? Fine. Let me walk through 3-steps of security before being rude and embarrassing me in front of a friend? Not fine. Pinky (manager) I walked right by you and said hi, why did it “all of sudden” become an issue? 0/5.

  • 5/5 Issabella C. 4 years ago on Google
    Good beer and a very chill neighborhood bar vibe. Staff are all great, and the beer is solid. Most of all, it's consistent, both the service and beer. Check out an event, they tend to do a pretty good job of 'em

  • 5/5 Lil S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice uniforms for their female employees. Always a sizable crowd but large enough bar you don't feel crowded. The mechanical bull rides are free so get on up!

  • 1/5 Brandi R. 4 years ago on Google
    I normally love this bar. I never get how the prices are alway different when you order the same thing. However this time I realized they charged more for everything then what the receipts say. So I guess if you go pay in cash.

  • 1/5 James S. 4 years ago on Google
    I sit here an hour after the show is supposed to start wondering what's going on????? Everything we heard about PBR was positive and I was so excited to see Kip Moore but wow. All the emails and literature said starts at 7.

  • 5/5 Maurcia S. 4 years ago on Google
    It was so much fun! The music was awesome and the dancers were great! The drinks were ok, but good enough. They have a mechanical bull that seemed like a lot of fun but I couldn't find the courage to ride it myself. However,it was hilarious to watch everyone else fall off. A fun Friday night with my bestie!

  • 3/5 Kayla M. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent

  • 1/5 Ms. F. 4 years ago on Google
    I purchased a drink for $7.00 was charged $8.40 so the rude bartender decided to give herself a tip!!! Its only $1.40 but it's the principal of the matter!! That's illegal. I have my receipt that shows the price but I'm going to let it go but I WILL NOT BE RETURNING!!

  • 5/5 Zackary H. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time could not ask for a better environment or music.

  • 4/5 Chimere M. 4 years ago on Google
    Fun environment

  • 3/5 Chanon Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Didn't live up to the hype. It was very hot and the music was extremely loud. It needs a good cleaning top to bottom. The patrons didn't interact with the staff so they seemed disconnected-but that's not their fault.

  • 1/5 Andrew R. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered a Coors light and a Cranberry Vodka. Coors is in a can and cranberry vodka was 95% juice. $15. Yikes.

  • 4/5 Taylor C. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to go to but sometimes it can be overwhelming and way over packed

  • 4/5 Shannon M. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a great time out with friends. The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was fun. Unfortunately there was broken glass all over the floor :(

  • 4/5 gary j. 4 years ago on Google
    Lots of fun !

  • 3/5 bucky t. 4 years ago on Google
    Only about half the music sucks! Seriously though a base track doesn't make you a DJ... Music changes around 930-10 from country to pop. Watching the bull is good fun. Price of drinks heavily depends on the bar tender. If you want to act like a cowboy this is the place for ya!
