Angels Rock Bar Baltimore

This bar is okay. They should really change the name because they really don’t play any rock, at least not when I was there, so that’s really lame. The only reason I went is because my friend won a VIP to the place, and it just so happened to be my birthday. We were all excited thinking it would be super cool having VIP, but no it wasn’t, it was confusing. We got in for free and we got a dollar off drinks. The VIP sitting area was really sad. The seats have holes patched with black duct tape. There were four of us and they said we needed 5 people to get the free bottle of wine or whatever. So we sat there in the «VIP» area with a empty bucket where there should have been ice and maybe some kind of beverage, even if it was non-​alcoholic, at least it would have been something. There was an area that was not VIP and it was much prettier, and more comfy. The only redeeming factor was that a Marlboro rep showed up and he was giving away free drink vouchers when you signed up with them, so we all did that and had a ton of free drinks and access to the smoking section (I don’t know why this would not be free for everyone at the bar but you need a special wristband). The smoking area was cool there were seats that were a lot better than inside the bars VIP area, and buckets at the tables that had free energy drinks and water. Finally, something was right. There were matches, clean ashtrays, a fire pit in the center of the area, and lit up with blue lights. As we drank more things got better, they had a free photo booth so we goofed around with that (the chick running that was very nice) and we later saw the Marlboro rep again and he gave us more drink vouchers, so we got wasted. We didn’t actually end up paying for the majority of our drinks that night, I had about 9 free mixed drinks, too many I know, so that was cool. If that Rep had not been there and the swell gal at the photo booth it would have been boring. Also forgot to mention we had vouchers from that Marlboro guy to get a pack of ciggs for a buck and we got like 9 packs or so, so that was worth it. The bar should thank that Marlboro dude and the photo booth lady for livening the place up.
***So just like my review, awkward at first, it got better thanks to the non angel’s rock bar employees.
***If I go back I will update.

On 5 De Mayo a few of my friends decided to go to power plant. It was my first time going to such a location. It was an enjoyable evening for a girls night out and will probably do it again. What made the night fun was the people I went with.
The place in general was a little dirty and run down. They had dancers on the bars which could have been prettier, with better bodies, and dance moves. Lets just be honest when it comes to Go-​Go dancers or Table dancers in general they are supposed to be eye catching… these weren’t favorable and thats the opinion of at least 4 people. Im sure we weren’t the only ones who felt this way. The music was good. Top 40s. The crowd was young. In their 20s. Bathrooms were dirty. not that I had expected much from a crowded place. Cute guys were in attendance and were there to have a good time. Drinks were cheaper than the DC night life for sure. By about $ 2 – 3 dollars.
Overall it was a good time but will probably check out another spot in Baltimore next time.

if you are Baltimore bar hopping… don’t forget this one! its great.
Ladies this is where the hot guys hide!

The first thing that turned me off was that they do not serve Budlight, second is the fact that the bouncers are all rude and on a power trip. Different type of crowd here, I prefer PBR.

I am actually ashamed to admit how much I adore this bar.
There is definitely a «crowd» here that is decidedly NOT my crowd. But:
–No matter when you go or who you’re with, you can experience some sort of drink special.
–If you’re not drinkin’ free one night, oblige the lovely scantily-​clad lady with the clipboard and sign up your e-​mail address. You WILL win a «party.» Which involves you drinking for free.
–There’s always plenty of room and a huge patio… perfect for boozy cigarettes.
–Dancing on tables should be mandatory for Women Of A Certain Age. Thanks, Angels, for letting me check that off my list.

Angels is pretty great! always a good time and now that PBR is there and the two are attached, it makes it that much better (PBR is pretty great!) Only complaint… and this happened yesterday, its never happened before, is the bathroom attendant. I work with tons of clients daily, many of whom have bathroom attendants in their buildings and they are usually dressed nice, smile, (usually try not to have a conversation with you… which is appreciated :)) they give you soap, turn on and off water, and give you a papertowel and another… if you need one without asking… usually they have ammenities there if need be. Therefore you don’t mind tipping! However, the bathroom attendant at Angels/​PBR was dressed in not so great street clothes, no smile, gave you soap, but wouldn’t turn on the water on or off. Gave a tiny piece of paper towel, and had nothing else. Whats the point in having a bathroom attendant if your not going to have them do the job properly. Although, this is baltimore, the real bathroom attendant could be dead somewhere and this guy is just an imposter trying to make a buck lol. Anyways, it def. won’t stop me from coming, but, I just feel if your there to do a particular job, you should do it properly.

I’ve only been here a few times and it is a certain type of place for a certain crowd.
They play a really great mix of rock music, but it sounds like you’re front row at a concert, right next to the speakers… if that’s your thing then go for it.
Personally I think its overcrowded, too loud, and overpriced.

I’m a little Biased on this one I am a rock fan and if your not you will get bored. The plus side for those that aren’t rock fans is that the drinks are affordable the staff is cool and laid back and it has the best view in all of power plant. The outside bar is great for the summer because you can still hear and see the band playing outside. This is one of my favorite bars in power plant. I recommend breaking out that favorite vintage tee putting on your best cut jeans and enjoy the atmosphere LOUD very LOUD

I have never had a bad time here. If you get a table it’s definitely worth it good price too. Last few times my friends and I had the whole back VIP section but we spent a lot of time just dancing on the dance floor and hanging out. Best part is music… it’s like listening to my ipod all night. If you’re tired of crappy house music blasted at every other club come here! Rock music to the max. They know their crowd and of course play some tracks for the ladies to get down to. ;) It’s also the only club I can actually get my boyfriend to go to so kudos for that!

Situated in the center of Powerplant Live, Angel Rock Bar is the most unique of the many venues you are faced with upon entering part one of many ID checks at the quaint cobblestone access control point.
The theme is rock music, mostly contemporary, but always with a dash of Journey or a spritz of Mr. Bön Jovi here and there. There are several resident DJs, all very enthusiastic and into their mash-​ups.
The cover is cheap, maybe $ 5 – 10, but ladies are free and the guest list ensures the same for guys, which are a little too abundant once you climb the stairs to the outdoor section of the Rock Bar. In the warmer season, the outdoor bar is great, albeit a little smoky. In the cold times, you will spend your time at centrally located indoor bar, adjacent to the DJ booth and the nicer of the VIP areas.
The place is very affordable, and if it’s not too crowded, the chain curtains are pulled back and you can sit in the VIP areas that flank the dance floor free of charge. This is very nice, since there is no seating other than VIP inside the venue. A velvet rope always cordons off the larger, nicer VIP section, but the bouncers will let you in if you know someone inside.
If your bladder is full, expect to be greeted by cheap cologne and a pushy attendant in the bathroom, so make your pit stop quick. The drinks are pretty cheap, so expect to go a lot, as long as the bartender notices you at the same pace you desire your cup to be refilled or your bottle to be replaced.
The servers and bartenders are strictly eye candy. They are mediocre at response time, but are quick to make sure you’re getting an eye full while closing your tab and considering a tip. I will say that the mixed drinks are generously embellished, and the shots are a decent if not generous size. The atmosphere is well constructed around the rock & roll theme, and the crowd fits it well. The customers are generally really cool, and I’ve met a lot of nice people here, patrons and staff alike.”

I’ve been there once for an after party. I didn’t have to deal with the swarm of men oogling the bartenders and peering up there itty bitty skirts as they go-go’d ontop of the bar because we had a table and room to move around.
My experience was probably a little more «comfortable» than most. had I been on the floor all night with the sea of men I probably would have wanted to leave. The music was all rock and a mix of mainstream hits which is always a crowd pleaser. Definitely not a fan of Baltimore at all, probably never will be either. But you should go once for the novelty of it all.

This is where all the guys go in Baltimore. I wonder why when all the bartenders are dressed in skimpy lingerie and they do the Coyote Ugly by dancing on the top of the bar. It is a huge place and they have a DJ playing music. I wasn’t a fan, but I also wasn’t drinking and had to deal with the smokey Baltimore bar.
I will admit… I am a NYC snob. B-​more just doesn’t have it!!!

Angels opened its doors at the end of September, 2007 in the middle of Power Plant Live where Have a Nice Day Café used to be. It’s a great place to go if you want to go dancing, but aren’t in the mood for house music, or the standard Top 40/​Hip Hop you hear in Federal Hill… or anywhere else for that matter.
There is a huge space for dancing, as well as some seating on the outskirts and outside, which is great when the weather is cooperating. There are three bars: one outside, one right in the center of the space inside, and one just inside the door. The bar also offers bottle service in their VIP section.
The bartenders are generally friendly and helpful, though when it gets crowded it’s sometimes hard to get their attention. And once in awhile, they’ll get up on the bar and dance – Coyote Ugly style… only they’re not all as hot as the ladies from the film ;)
I’ve been to Angels a couple of times now, and I really like the atmosphere. I don’t know that it’s a place I’d want to hit up every weekend, but it’s awesome when you’re amped to dance to loud rock music: D
