Reviews of Grand Central Club (Night Club)

Kit Austin

Love this club scene

Mistah Martin

My friends and I visited this place while in Baltimore attending a conference. We arrived at approximately 1:30. At 1:45 the bar tender stated that it was last call. My friends ordered and she tried to converse with the man that was supposed to be standing at the door, but decided to stand at the bar and he became irate and rude after being asked what time they close. This occurred at 1:52. We left the drinks we purchased on the counter and will never return... Also, it’s fraud to ask someone to purchase something and ask them to leave 7 minutes later to leave, although your closing hours listed don’t align with the time you’re saying you’re closed... clearly it’s fraud and the owner needs to invest more time into customer service development. If this is the best Baltimore has to offer, I see why small businesses are falling apart. #Thank god for Amex.

Grand Central has so much to offer! Great events and great drink specials!!

Kevin LaMartina

Cool Place...Bar and Dance Club usually have fun music and lively crowd. Love the look of the place. Continually changing staff of Bartenders leave a lot to be desired... most have been rude & slow. Nothing like a Bartender with an attitude problem or texting and ignoring customers. No tip for you...

Sue Tyre

Love this place...ppl are awesome and the music is EXCELLENT

Cortier Clarke

Owner is a racist. Which doesn't make sense because he's gay. How can you be gay & a racist. Steer clear.

Kitty Barbera

Never Use Credit Card the bartender will use their system to steal your money. After signing the reciept and tip, she will inflate the tip to cash out whatever she wants to skim off of the people. The Blonde haired wig chick, she is a thief. I couldn't believe that I was charged $25.01, when my drink and tip were $9.50 (an $8 rail drink, with a $17 tip?). I use online banking, so I saw it instantly. She steals from customers.

So i am 20 years old and i know i am not aloud to drink but i was heading in there to see a close friend preform tonight for the drag show. I asked the security guard if i may enter even know i am 20 and NOT drinking. He said that’s fine and let me in. ONLY for him to turn back around and kick me out. Waste of my time

Lazaro Pacheco

I love this place! Both the bar and the pay-to-access (I believe it's $3 before 11, $5 or $6 after?) dance area are great. Highly recommend.

Sam Bender

Great bar very lgbt friendly and a lot of fun and staff is very helpful.

Cynthia Roman

Salsa nights are fun, drink specials on Wednesdays are awesome. Wish there were more Queer Latina nights!

D Kris

its chill there though they should really tell you that put hold amounts on your card when you open a tab... wandering why all my receipts and my bank statements didn't make sense.

Desadra Shields

Drinks were awesome crowd ok staff can be a lil rude.

Thomas Debarge

Had a very good first time experience here with the Karaoke night on Tuesday but my second time around, The bouncer kept following me around all night. And to me, I thought he liked me. The whole time he was keeping his eye on me just to get me out of the club. I would NOT recommend going to this place if you plan to have an open time. Even the guys there don't really speak much to anyone. Nice karaoke nights, but weekend nights are awlful. These B*****S can rot in hell for that experience, $30 on drinks just to tell me and my friends we had to leave? I think NOT! GO TO THE HIPPO INSTEAD!

Mickey DF

Stopped here on a very hot summer day for a cold beer (about 5:45 pm). Few local guys and girls. Nice ambiance. Good comfortable energy. Not sure how the night ambiance is but I would bet it’s good!

Dee Dee

I have been a regular to this club but lately I have decided to stop going there.I have witnessed couple of fights and other incidents. The drinks are watered down nowadays too.Hopefully Don can fix these issues soon.

Dwight Scott

Don't go unless you're gay sorry no comments wanted to mention that I'm not dissing the club you just won't enjoy it

Joe Ricci

Hopping on a Friday night, bartenders are fast and drinks are generous. Outdoor deck helps with overcrowding and to have a cigar or fast smoke.

Daniel Pelaez

Good vibes, but expensive drinks...

Kathi McMillan

Need more bartenders for the front bar on weekends. Spoke to management so we shall see what happens.

Luna Santos

(Translated by Google) I go to this club I go alone without a partner but it is a place where there is no need to take a companion. You re-relax, have fun watching people dance, and your power to dance alone. There are many who do. Respectful in customer service. I recommend it. If you want to go alone and feel sorry for yourself. Calm down, I assure you there is no need to have another person with you when you can have a good time alone (Original) Yo voy a este club voy solo sin pareja pero es un lugar donde no hay necesidad de llevar a acompañante. Vas te realajas te Diviértes en ver a las personas bailar, y tu poder bailar solo. Hay muchos que lo hacen. Respetables en atencion al cliente. Lo recomiendo. Si quieres ir solo y te de pena. Tranquilo ve, te aseguro que no hay necesidad de tener a otra persona c9n tigo cuando la puedes pasar bien solo

Harrison Davis

Completely hit or miss. Offers a good mix of bar, dancing, or patio scene.

Destinee Taylor

I was unfortunate enough to show up on a night where the loft was hosting a 'private' party and the disco was only playing scene music. Who the hell basically shuts down a club on a Saturday?? Would not recommend!!

billy henderson

great club wonderful staff classy and clean always updating

Herson Cifuentes.

I love is fun, and nice place.

Jeremy Angelo

Pay the $5 and go to the dance floors.

Rohit Rawat

quite happy and lively bar in Mt.Vernon area.

V

Perfect scene, very welcoming! Thursday night karaoke with Shanon is the bee' knees! You'll have a great time here!

Jack Rose

Great club

Will Stallworth

A nice bar with lots of room, even when crowded. Very friendly clientele

Ben Brown

I really want to like this place. I really do. But the music is getting worse and more dated every time I go. The place is half-empty more often than not - even on the weekends. Time to suck it up and head to DC instead.

Elisa McClain

Always fun

Jay Vaidya

A traditional anchor of the gayborhood. A cosy, low-crowd neighborhood hangout most days-times. Gets hopping on weekends at night.

Chris Little

Dance floor is nice and music is usually good. The drinks are overpriced when compared to Leon's down the street. The leather/Levi night is always great but sometimes the younger (21-25 yr) crowd can be meh.

Rico Jones

Not bad could be better music

Neetu Virk

I was charged 20% tip by server James A even though I did not leave a tip for going to the dance floor. Charging the tip without the customers knowledge is ridiculous. I signed the receipt and believed I would only pay what I signed for but they added their own tip. This wasn't even for drinks, theu shouldn't expect a tip for dance floor ticket. I wouldn't go there again. Plus the music is terrible.

William Robles

Cool atmosphere. Good music.

Manny Segal

If you are looking for a local LGBT friendly bar this is the typical place to go. It's nothing extravagant however they have been around for a long time. Many regulars go here. Music on weekend is good normal club music. There is a cover charge for dance floor but not for bar section.

Jessica Mcgonigal

Had a awesome time here friendly people

Jane Salvador

Didn't stay long enough to see how it is after the sun goes down, but stayed during happy hour and my friends and I enjoyed ourselves. Bartenders were friendly and attentive and the space is really nice. Would definitely stop by again and stay longer the next time I'm in town

David Black

This place has really gone down hill. Sometimes it's empty, sometimes there's a crowd. The music could be dance or pop songs - you never know. The last time I was there they were playing Kid Rock's cover of Sweet Home Alabama. However, it's one of two gay dance clubs left standing so you don't really have much of a choice.

Latoya Wilson

Awesome place to be every time I go

Thomas Lombardo

Went to grand central club for the first time. $6 cover, Its dark, dark music and full of goths. Not the typical "gay" club im used to. Left after 10mins. Would have left sooner but the drink was made right.

Vickie Benz

Such a great time last night at the show! Atmosphere was great!

D Ro

Awesome bartenders, good drinks, amazing memories (or lack of)

Darren Boyd

Hosted our Rugby Fundraiser. Much thanks to the owner and management

Tabitha Redmer

On April 5th, someone slipped something into my drink at Grand Central. Now I realize that the club itself is not responsible for that happening. I can only blame the person who drugged me, not the club itself, but my review is because of the way that Don Davis spoke with me when I reached out to him for help the day(s) following the incident. The night it happened, I couldn't even call my own ambulance (I tried, and somehow ended up calling one of the dad's I babysit for, oops), so I had no way of making sure police were involved in getting me tested for the specific drug or trying to find help with locating the person who did this. The day after it happened, Don encouraged me to file a police report and stated that while the club does have cameras, it is hard to see much of anything. He told me that the police would be able to use the cameras to see who drugged me because they would be able to alter the footage to see it better, so I went to the police station to file a report two days after it happened. As it turns out, the police won't do anything without proof (so a test stating what was in my system and footage of someone putting something into my drink). The hospital I went to, as well as most others, do not have tests for roofies and other date tape type drugs. The police would've had to have been called and test me that night, but they weren't. The police encouraged me to get Don to check the cameras. When I asked him to and gave him a one hour time frame of when it happened, his demeanor changed. So initially he had told me the police would be able to see who did it on the footage, but after I asked him to look at it, he told me the cameras only face the bartenders, not the people at the bar. When I asked him to clarify how the cops would have a better image of a camera view that doesn't exist, he went on a rant about how they spend so much more money on security than most other bars and asked, "are we supposed to strip search every person that comes to the bar? And then hire a pharmacist to find out if they have illegal drugs or prescriptions?" and other similar remarks. He also told me that because Baltimore has too much other crime, they didn't have time to investigate this one, and that's why they didn't. Two weeks before I was drugged, another woman was (though Don said it happened at Leons before she came over to Central) and she was raped. I would assume that if multiple people have been drugged in less than a month in the same area, it would be worth looking in to, especially when so many of the people at these two bars are regulars who come every single week. I was lucky. No one raped, assaulted, or otherwise hurt me. The next woman might not be so lucky. Don's attitude with me, and my fear that this is going to keep happening to other people at Grand Central and the surrounding area, are the reason for my review. I was careful. I never left my drink. I never took one from a stranger. But it still happened to me, and it could happen to you too. If you start feeling off, especially only after a couple drinks, tell your friends or call someone to come get you, and if you need help, make sure someone calls the police for you too so they can find out what you were given and by who. Stay safe out there.

Justin Deinlein

Great selection of beer. None of them were gay, but we still had a good time

Michelle Parrish

Absolutely love this club! The music was awesome. The drinks were good and fairly priced. All the staff we met was amazing. We'll definitely go back when in Baltimore again. Nicole the bartender was phenomenal!

Timoth Copney

Lovely atmosphere but not the best gay club for happy hour.

Tim P

Love this place but miss the Hippo

James Hill

Cool club. I had a good rest. But the bar is expensive. Sometimes there are promotions here you can get free cocktails and a private room for an hour. To do this, register on 909gay,com create a profile, take a screenshot and show it to the administrator. I did it

Keith Bringe

Seems like the GLBTQ center of the hot burning Baltimore sun. Quirky and friendly in a great location.

Diana Herrera

Cool place to dance, went late at night and didn't get a cover charge. The music was electronic all night.

mario mario

Nice place

Richard North Jr

Favorite bar in the city, in addition to being the best gay bar in the city..

STEPHEN MILLER

Really cool place even with karaoke

Jessie Schlagle

The man working coat check and taking cover was a complete jerk, treating people like peasants or idiots. Meanwhile letting others cut and leave with their coats, while making others return to the back of the line to wait so that they could leave a bar that they already paid to get into, and were already patrons of. How nice to be treated like a nuisance as you're leaving the bar that you just dropped $95 at (on overpriced and poorly-made drinks), just trying to get the coat that you spent an extra $7 tipping the guy to check. Not only was the music upstairs lame, smelled like someone had gotten sick and the bar was empty on a Saturday night, but the staff in general holds a snobby air about them. For a community that is supposed to be so welcoming, they do the exact opposite. If you're going out in Mt. Vernon, I suggest you take your business elsewhere.

Kurt Wirth

It's rather small here, but the crowd is diverse and drinks aren't outrageous. The ambiance is decent.

Djaq Morris

Great vibe! Had a nice chill evening. Much thanks to bartender Stephen who helped me choose a new drink to try that I really liked and was super friendly. Had a great time! Five stars, totally

Jay Jay

Great atmosphere and you can tell that the owner takes pride is his business,although the drinks are a little bit more exspesive than other establishments in the area it worth it for the amenities. The new manager is great!

stevemah H.

Very cool place with a great staff

Mark Ramsey

Fun!!!! Fun!!!! We had a great time and danced the night away.

Clark Matthews

Cool Baltimore bar!!!

Seth Marcell

Sketchy owners

nine nautonnier

The new Manager Marc Hayes gets it. He is a blessing to the LGBT+ community to be running this establishment. It's been decades since I've seen such a hard working club-professional have the proper balance of business expectations and entertainment leniency for our community. I've never questioned his decisions.

Elena House-Hay

I like the vibe here and like the karaoke. I think that it's a fun place even on off days. It gets packed on the weekends bur it is a very accepting atmosphere.

Oscar Tejada

Good ambiance, lots of people but never too crowded

Gloria Nieves

Great club

Richard Osei

Last Friday was my first time here and it was dope. From the music, the drinks and the crowd all was just perfect. The place is a good place if you want to go have fun and dance all night with your friends. See you next Friday guys.

Jesus Seda

Everytime that i use my credit card in this place the bartenders charge me the 18 porcent no matter what in every transaction plus i gave them the tip in cash !!! My question is where is the managers here to handle this situation ? Just let you know guys if you decided to go to this place make sure bring some cash and DONT use your debit or credit card !
