My only complaint is that I wish the music was louder

I'm playing vinyl Monday nights on the two turntables at the end of the bar. The sound system was made for the warm and crackly sounds of the black stuff. Drafts are price fairly. And the crowd its cool and yup for the eclectic sounds of the different djs.

I love the bar tender Jason and branden . Jason puts together some of the greatest mixes I have ever seen. Also if u wanna learn how to cook a meal they can both talk food. All around a great atmosphere the lighting in there is just awesome. Its a very relaxed bar with alot of class. I would suggest stopping in there if ur around the neighborhood.

Doesn’t get much cooler than Idle Hour. The setting feels like a movie set from Tarantino or Wes Anderson. High-quality drinks, reasonably priced, hand-shucked free oysters, and simply cool without trying to be. Great Baltimore dive.

Idle Hour is a Baltimore gem 💎 And when DJ Mudbone is on the 1s and 2s, it’s next-level. His deep crate picks and seamless genre-blending set the perfect vibe for a smooth, silky, and fun night. 🎶 🍹The Jungle Bird cocktail? Crafted to perfection, as always. Whether you’re here for the vinyl, the cocktails, or both Idle Hour never misses. Highly recommend!

This place is authentic, wonderful and a great time. We were visiting from outside the state and stumbled upon Idle Hour and it did not disappoint. The bar tender was friendly, the drinks are very good, and the music was on fire. A really great place!

Amazingly well curated cocktail list with a focus on chartreuse and may other alternative options. The vibes are excellent and service is spectacular. Can't recommend this place enough.
