    The door people / security are hard workers. They do have to yell a lot but if people didn't act like kids they wouldn't have to. This place is so nice the people that come in there it's a mix of Baltimore you can find John Hopkins students also people from the city themselves you have rap events bands play and comedy shows they have great Korean food the bulgogi is really good! Please try it out just once!

    I love the menu item tofu nachos. Being a vegetarian it's so spicy and delicious and most of the menu is meat based. It's a typically Korean inspired menu. Closed on most Sundays and on Mondays they also have a full bar and local live music inside most evenings especially Fridays and Saturdays and there's a dance floor. The restaurant doesn't open until between 4 and 430 and it's difficult to get then on the phone to place an order but if you stop by the food never takes too long to make and they do offer a few dining tables to eat in or get food prepared to take home aka to go. It's unfortunate that they use to answer the phone to take orders and stopped perhaps due to being short staffed but the food is worth between 5 to 15 minute wait while they make it once you get there and order in person. The door I must say is rather heavy and gets stuck easily so don't be discouraged...if it's after 430 and between Tuesday and Saturday, it's open...pull harder. Also I'm not sure when the kitchen closes but I'd imagine probably at either midnight or 130am or 2am as that's what time I believe the bar closes and the live music stops. It's also conveniently located and only a block north of north Ave along Charles street. It's between north and 20th streets along Charles which is a northbound road. St Paul runs north/south and being one block east of Charles, traffic runs southbound and parallel to Charles street. I hope you'll stop by and check out The Crown for their tofu nachos, which are $15 and that's the total for one carry out order after tax. They also have shrimp shumi which is a steamed dumpling with shrimp inside it and comes with an aisan dipping sauce...and fried shrimp terriakki, but these are not vegetarian, as I mentioned the only true vegetarian and likely vegan dish is the tofu nachos...although the spicy dressing they drizzle on the nachos might contain egg ingredients...but it's likely possible to ask for this on the side.. when it comes to leftovers the next day, the dressing does tend to cause the nachos chips to lose their crispness although they're still good and quite tasty. I've never discarded a single bite. One of my very favorite neighborhood meals. And I go by Pamela, the waiters and cooks are familiar with my order and recognize me when I arrive. I'm sure if you mention my name when you order they'll know who it was that recommended this establishment to you for dinner, and not just a weekend bar amd music venue.

    The dance party at Pride was lit. Good music, good dancing. Sexy people and reasonably priced drinks.

    Uhhh... 4 weak drinks, 1 shot, and 2 tacos = $100.01??? At a hole in the wall karaoke bar?! I used to really love coming here, but now I can't afford to 🤷🏾‍♀️ Pretty certain they're pouring 1oz as opposed to the standard 2 for their cocktails. There were folks taking breaks to drink at their car... smart. BYOB is your best bet. Harbor East prices in a Dundalk establishment SMH

    This is not my favorite place but it's also not the worst. I've only been on karaoke nights. The music is always louder than the singer. The list is of course ridiculously long, so if you don't get there early, you won't sing. The food is a 5/10 at best and the last time I got the dumplings they were rubbery and warm. Drinks are alright I guess. It's an ok spot if you aren't expecting much. It is a nice place to meet some nice people.

    I love the food at The Crown but I’m leaving one star because the hours posted are wrong. This place is NEVER open. I’ve shown up twice, around 7-8 on a Wednesday and on a Thursday and both times it was closed and locked up. Can someone put the correct hours of operation or at least get back to me and tell me what days and times they are actually open??

    As an anime fan, this is the ultimate bar! Went on a Sunday night and rented a private karaoke room. They did not have room service and we had to get out own drinks and bring them back to the karaoke room, but I could obviously see they were understaffed so all is forgiven. Other patrons in the main part of the bar were all watching an anime together on the projector screen they have. Great atmosphere although rough around the edges and definitely a one of kind spot in Maryland. Going to bring my friends back for another karaoke night for sure!

    Had a fun time here late on a Saturday night. Neat atmosphere, good house music DJ, cool vibes and cool people, and a huge dance floor. There's a restaurant downstairs and a bar upstairs next to the dance floor.

    On a Saturday night late, we had a good time here. A large dance floor, a good house music DJ, cool feelings, and cool people all contribute to the cool atmosphere. What else do you need for a great night?

    Went to see Authority Zero and I'm always happy when the venue has that homey hole-in-the-wall vibe. If your favorite band plays here I'd for sure recommend grabbing a ticket.

    Did not try the food or drink. They wanted me to pay for water instead of providing tap water (illegal) but that could have been a misunderstanding. This would have killed the place for me immediately but they gave me a bottle of water that I filled in the bathroom sink the rest of the night. I'll try again next time and confirm it was a one time thing and modify my rating accordingly. Tickets were probably over priced a bit but the night was worth it. Great dancing with some of the local team to footwork/juke/breaks on the first floor. Smaller stage but very cool vibes. Upstairs was bigger, loved the feel of the place as a venue. Sound was good could maybe use more bass. Dance floor was pretty sticky but we made it work most of the night. Proper puts on a good show.

    Not my crowd but the food is good. They have security bouncers so you'll be safe. Karaoke on Tuesday was great. Many young people but you really feel welcome

    Went to the Crown on a Tuesday evening. Cool performance space to see some great bands, @BedroomFloor, and the food was fantastic! The bibimbap! Korean bbq! You might otherwise be inclined to pass this place up, but don't. Do yourself a favor.

    Restrooms were.... Awful... But the bartenders and staff were A+++ and SUPER kind and outstanding!!! Authority Zero sounded amazing on their sound system.

    They host events weekly, I've been to quite a few and they're always a good time! Awesome restaurant downstairs and a bar on both floors.

    We go to this bar for events that are held there. It's a pretty fun place with unusual options for bar food. The staff are good and the drinks are solid
