Opened in 1997, we’ve hosted tens of thousands of bands, plus comedians, rappers, drag shows, film screenings, art openings and salutes to satan. Open mic nights, flea markets, 80’s proms, fundraisers, wet towel fights and book burnings for peace. Karaoke, drunk talk shows, haunted houses, spelling bees and knife throwing contests, Burlesque troupes, plays, improvs, self-defense training, crab feasts and pet weddings. Baltimore’s longest running music venue- and we owe it to you.
