Man o Man.... I really truly had a good time. This place is for the really grown and sexy so if you are looking for some where to take your partners 50+ that can have a good time, this is it. The music was great, drinks were great, friendly and fun environment. Never knew this spot was here but my mom said she had the best time she's had in a very long time. She never goes out so it was good to see her out the on the dance floor!

A cool place that Baltimore folks go to. Monday nights are like our Friday nights in New York City.

It was live and full of active people. At the end my excitement, I inadvertently forgot my reading glasses. I drove from the westside back to the eastside to retrieve my reading glasses, and the staff were very considerate and thoughtful of the need of my glasses and found them. I would like to thank Melba’s and and staff for the lost and found items. !!!When there is a company that publicize that they will hold their items for three days is a safe haven that will give their customer the their security.

We went here on my Birthday, 1st time experience. We absolutely enjoyed the vibe. The music was right up our alley OLD SCHOOL. The atmosphere was comfortable real chill..The bartender was serious about his business..drinks on point. Would definitely revisit if I came back this way.. The food was not up to our standards. It was a bit over fried the fish, shrimp and chicken and the macaroni and cheese flavor was over shadow with too much seasoning, but on an average we enjoyed this place and thanks for the Birthday shout out 😁

My best friend had a birthday party there on Friday 12/12/25. We had a great time. She reserved the area in the very back. And whomever the young lady was baratending there, I just wanted to say that she was so very kind, respectful, courteous and gracious. I appreciate her beautiful service and also the bartender up the front. By the name of Will, I appreciate him. I called him celebrityWill because he's in a lot of the photos on the website. Great gentleman treated me to a ginger ale. I enjoyed myself immensely. And we will prayerfully be back again real soon.GOD bless you all. Thank you for a great night.😊🙏🏽💜👍🏽

I visited this amazing spot for the first time on Saturday night, and wow—what an experience! I’m visiting from New York, and this place truly gave me that authentic Baltimore vibe. The energy was electric—nonstop dancing and incredible drinks all night long! A special shout-out to the female bartender at the front bar—she was phenomenal. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcomed and at ease, which meant a lot since I was there solo. The dance floor was the heart of the night—everyone moving together like one big family. It honestly felt more like a celebration than just a night out. The party host also did a fantastic job keeping the crowd engaged and the energy high. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!

I haven't been here in years and a good friend suggested that we go here. Bartender was very pleasant, friendly and professional. So was staff as we entered and exited. Renovations looked good!

If you like to dance and have fun, then this is the place you want to go. The vibe there is a whole adventure. The people were friendly and when I say they came to dance.... from the moment I got there till I left I danced. There's 2 areas there's a back area where the party is at and the front area, which is like a sports bar, still a vibe. I will definitely be back.

I stumbled into Melba’s on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM, not long after they had opened. The music wasn’t even playing yet when I walked in, but the place already felt welcoming. I sat at the bar and quickly realized it was cash only, so I stepped out to use the ATM. The fee was a bit steep, so I definitely recommend bringing cash ahead of time. I ordered an $8 drink, which was strong and very much needed—and shoutout to my bartender Tiffany, because she definitely took care of me. That drink was good, okay? After the first one, the drinks kept flowing, and the night really picked up. For food, I had the lemon pepper wings with fries and ranch. Even though I was already a little tipsy by that point, the wings were really good—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and hit the spot. And somehow, I even ended up with free food, which made the night even better. Just to be clear for anyone planning to come: they charge at the door after 8 PM daily, so make sure you have cash if you’re arriving after that time. They also have happy hour, though I can’t remember the exact hours—it may be 5–7 or 6–7—but they offer $2 off drinks, which explains the $8 price during happy hour. Also, while the bar is cash only, the food is separate and you can pay for food with a card. As the night went on, the music was on point—a great mix of old school and new school—and the vibes were just right. I made my way to the back where the dance floor is and fully immersed myself in the club/lounge atmosphere. I came around 6:30 and stayed until about 12:30, and honestly, I didn’t want to leave. I had other plans later, but if I didn’t, I probably would have stayed and danced all night. Even if you come by yourself, you won’t feel alone for long. As long as you have an open personality and good energy, people will talk to you, dance with you, and make you feel right at home. I haven’t been on a Monday yet, which is what they advertise for my age range (I’m 28), but I’m definitely planning to chec
