Melanie’s at Griffith's Tavern - Bar in Baltimore - 3631 Hickory Ave, USA

This gem is set in the heart of Hampden. Incredible energy from both bar staff and regulars. I was greeted with enchanting laughter as I walked into the bar . They make a very smooth old-fashioned that's made in-house , I also recommend the Low Life . Drink prices are very cheap, I was here for about 3 hours with 2 other friends of mine and the bill was only 95 bucks. Melanie's at Griffith' Tavern is the real deal.

The bartenders and owners are amazing and super accommodating. As far as neighborhood bars go it’s a hidden gem. They don’t serve food but you can most certainly bring your own or even get it delivered with no issues. If you stop by ask for a low life, diva cup or W.H.Y..

This place is rad! Hannah is great and they have Ms. Pacman...what else do you need?!

Best dive in hampden--personally my favorite bar for miles. Maybe the best dive in the city? Anyone can go, anyone can find a decent drink (with/without alcohol). It's like the definition of unpretentious while also being clean and fun. Easy, breezy, it's Melanie's.

Nice little bar tucked back into a little neighborhood. Great service, they had old fashioned flavored jello shots, alot of different alcohol, beer and seltzers. Along with a very nice snack selection! See photo for reference.

I went and to unwind after work today. Hoping for a calm, cool collected crowd with friendly queers and anybody's. However, a couple came in with a toddler. The bartender held the toddler and then returned the toddler to the parents and soon after the toddler started to cry; I moved down two seats. The bartender said everything okay. I said I didn't come here to hear baby's cry. She said we don't need that here. I said I agree. Definitely felt judged.

Best bar in Baltimore. Incredible vibes, wonderful bar staff and the drinks are just superb. The perfect place whether you're looking for an after work drink or a night out on the town, it's never a miss.

Absolutely wonderful hospitality. Our favorite place in Baltimore! The shuffle bowling game is a blast from the past. Who knew 25 cents could buy so much entertainment. Drink prices are very reasonable. The owner bartends and is great to talk with. This is definitely a must visit spot. The owner is attempting to sell the bar. Hoping someone is able to buy it and keep the 7 decade legacy going.
