The Metro Gallery

My favorite local band had a show at the Metro Gallery. Upon entry, we were carded and given wristbands. The concert tickets were affordable -
$15 online and $20 at the door. This was a rather small venue. I liked how there were hi tops with bar stools and seating by the bar. The merch area and stage area is separated by pillars. It was a bit loud and I was glad someone offered earplugs to me. Their beer menu was different than the one on the website. Their draft beer wasn't working. During the show, Alex enjoyed two Pony Boy Lagers, my fiance enjoyed two RAR Nanticoke Nectar IPA, and I enjoyed the Black Flag Salted Lime Sour.

Metro Gallery was the cutest little spot to see a concert in the city, without it being a scary area when leaving late. Parking was easy and accessible, the venue was small but still had ample space, and gender neutral bathrooms were available. The bartenders were so incredibly sweet, even though I would say when it comes to the bar, the drinks can get quite pricey. Everyone was kind and respectful despite the small space, which I know can be an issue at some concert venues.

Fairly spacious warehouse type venue. Dimly lit. Free place to hang coats. One bar and it gets pretty packed. The barstaff were clearly overworked. Drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. I did notice extra charges on my receipt that I had to get remedied at the end of the night so I may opt to pay cash at the bar if I come here again.

The DJs were amazing. Music was bumping and the crowd friendly and diverse. The best dance club experience I have found in Baltimore so far. I had a good time.

Dirty bathrooms, it says you need proof of vaccination but they didn't even check, the green room was like a sauna too.

The staff was so nice and got us in late but started the show on time. The venue was nice and the bathrooms were clean. Overall great venue, great staff, and great show!!

This place is just mediocre. It barely qualifies as a venue in my mind. Bands have to put their gear in the main room. The steps to the stage are two feet from the front door. The room has windows with big curtains. I've been to lots of venues, and I just...I don't want to be able to see outside while I'm watching a band. It's just not an immersive experience. That probably sounds like a really specific and unnecessary criticism, but this place just feels so haphazardly put together. The space just wasn't designed to be a concert venue. It also gets stupid hot, even when the crowd is pretty calm. Uncomfortably hot.

I also had a bit of bad experience with a recent show. The ticket and the website claimed the show started at 8pm, and when I arrived at 7:45pm, the first band had two songs left. I get that the tour manager or the band might have requested an earlier set time, but at least update your website! I paid to see that band, and because the venue was too lazy to do anything about the new set time, I barely got to see them. It just wasn't very professional.

One of my favorite live-music venues. Intimate setting that gets a lot of interesting, low- to mid-profile acts (that's not a jab - many of my favorite bands are of the under-the-radar sort). Great sound quality for the space - saw Pharmakon there last Sunday, and the whole venue felt like the inside of a subwoofer. From my visits, the crowds are usually mellow and laid-back, there to enjoy a shared experience. Two clean unisex bathrooms with an "everything -covered-in-stickers" aesthetic. And as someone who hates the parking nightmare that accompanies most venues, the lot next door ($10) is a convenience well worth the cost (just remember to pay the guy in the garage). If you want to make a day of it, The Charles Theatre is right across the street.

This venue is in a hipster-ish area in Baltimore with some cute restaurants in the area. Street parking is pretty easy to find, and there are a couple pay to park garages. There are meters in the streets but I believe they are free after 6 or 8. This venue is very small but it feels intimate. They have some great live bands playing. They have a decent selection of local craft beers that range from $4-7. Their cocktails are around $10 which I think is a little pricey for a divey type place but the mojitos I got were very tasty and the bartenders were attentive and friendly. My boyfriend has a band that plays there sometimes and I love going to the shows there! Great venue.

I went here to see two go go bands. I feel like I overpaid when it came to the admission price as this space is very grungy inside lol but it's ok. It's not the sort of space that I imagined it would be. I feel like the name should be changed to something else because I feel like just because there are some paintings on the wall doesn't make it a gallery lol. Anyways the bands were awesome and I hope that they got most of money that I spent to get in. Parking was very easy as there is a lot and also a garage right next to the building. There was also a lot of street parking.

So done with this place that I have patronized since its inception. It's great that it's so intimate, allowing us to be very close to some great bands, but God help you if you can't pull up your bar code on your phone. What venue these days does not have a list of ticketholders who purchased their tickets electronically? The Metro Gallery. You've been warned.
