Lithuanian Hall Assn

Saw a fabulous show there last night. «RAWK! Land of the Living.» It was as close to any Las Vegas review style show that you will see in Baltimore. Robin Miller (Passions Productions, LLC) a former Las Vegas showgirl herself, puts on an entertaining show with lots of beautiful, leggy dancers, sexy costuming, terrific choreography, music and singing. The venue itself was great. Very cold beer at very reasonable prices with an exceptionally friendly bar tender.

Save Your Soul occurs on the first Friday of the month. A member card gains you entry for $ 5 (be careful! Sometimes they try and cheat you), beers are $ 5 and honey liquor shots are $ 3. The DJs play mostly classic 1960s soul and Motown so it’s usually a great time. It’s getting more and more popular though so get there early and/​or expect to wait.

Came here on Friday night…
My friend paid the $ 10 «membership» fee at the door so that the rest of us could pay a $ 5 cover charge. Not quite sure why this membership fee exist. It’d be one thing if the membership got you drink discounts or access to some secret area. But I think its just a discount to get in. Kind of silly to me. But ok, whatever.
The «soul» dance party was great. The music was reminiscent of 1960s funk and 1970s «house» music. Hard to describe but I liked the mix. The music also wasn’t so loud that I couldn’t have a conversation with people and I liked the fact that they didn’t play recognizable songs but more obscure stuff.
The bar is cash only but the drinks are REALLY cheap so I’m not complaining. $ 2 for draft beers?! $ 3 for bottles? and $ 3 for shots of Honey liquor?! Can’t beat that.
Now I’ve seen a bunch of fellow Unilocalers on here saying that the LIthuanian Dance Hall is a «hipsters» paradise .Well, to be honest, I don’t know what a hipster is anymore. I used to think it was just unfriendly, pretentious people who liked to wear ball tight pants and intentionally look greasy. But for some reason I dont think there’s a universal definition of what a hipster is. After all, I like to listen to indie music, consider myself a real musician, wear dark rimmed glasses because they look good on my face and kind of wear my jeans on the «tighter» side because baggy jeans looks stupid. But I’m also a libertarian conservative who would rather see Elmo in office than that dopey Muppet we have now. So am I still a hipster? Either way, who gives a s***. I’d rather be partying with hipsters anyways. At least they tend to like good music.
My only big complaint here is that the place can get really crowded. With that behind said, the bar/​dance room was hotter than the inner thighs of a sumo wrestler. Luckily the adjacent room was air conditioned and was a great «cool off» spot to hang out in. I like that there was actually security in this establishment too. I only wish there was a parking lot of some kind nearby as I’d rather not walk around Hollins Market unarmed at night. But I’m glad this place exists nonetheless. It offers cheap drinks, good music and a secured environment for us «hipsters» to congregate in.

First off, let me just say I’m truly feeling the Geocities website link. That’s no sarcasm. I’m getting misty here.
Ahh, Lith Hall. What can I say? We only met a short time ago, but I feel as if we already know each other so well. Stiff vodka & cokes, dark corners for me to chill in, and bouncers that give me sass. You know what I like.
I actually come up from Richmond, VA to go to I Do We Do You Do every second Friday of every month. Lots of funk, lots of soul, some new-​wave, and something for everyone. Wanna hear something? Make a request! Lovely! I’m never disappointed, and my body always hurts the next day from gettin’ down so hard.
Ground Rules:
— Bring your ID (not that college ID shit, there is NO use for that and you know it)
— Bring $ 10 for entry if you are not a member (you can bring up to three guests, but fuck it just become a member), bring $ 5 and your member ID if you are a member (cash first then entry stamp thanks!)
— Get that credit/​debit card junk out of here! Cash only, duders.
Okay, now that’s out of way, treat yoself to some HONEY SHOTS.

I went here with a couple friends to the «Save your Soul» night, which is on the first Friday of every month. The line to get in took about 20 minutes to get through (we got there at 11pm.) Once we got in, we found a chair to put our coats on and got some drinks! The beer and shots are cheap. The honey liquor is really sweet at 70 proof. Hoorah for ethanol and simple syrup! It’s quite tasty. The bar is CASH ONLY!
The feel of the place is DEFINITELY hipster. If you were to point in any direction and say, «See that guy with the black, thick rimmed glasses?» You would have to be more specific.

I’ve been meaning to check out Lith Hall’s Save Your Soul dance party ever since I moved to Baltimore nearly a year ago but I only finally got around to it this past week. Lord am I glad I did! Great 50s/​60s dance music, deadly $ 2 honey liquor shots, awesome dancing, plus a John Waters sighting, all for a mere $ 5! It was hands-​down the best dance party I’ve been to in Baltimore so far.
The only downside is the gridlock created by the cover charge. They had separate lines for members/​non-​members but IDs were all being checked by the same person so it didn’t really make a difference. Still, for $ 5 I can’t really complain.

Holy freaking super ultra mega fun Friday night!!! If you are looking for a hilarious experience, this place is not to be missed. I came here last weekend and apparently the first Friday of every month the DJ plays seriously fun music from the 50’s. Such great vintage music and innocent fun, unlike the usual dance clubs these days filled with pervs grinding all over you. One thing to keep in mind, the beers are way bigger than normally sized bottlenecks and surprisingly they are way cheaper than you would except! The bar tenders are incredibly friendly and really accommodating. The bathroom is big and clean. They also have a room off the bar with a sweet pool table and seating. The dance floor is the perfect size, large enough to shake it but small enough that you can meet some pretty sweet people to dance with. If it’s your first time, you either have to pay the $ 5 membership fee which is good for up to a year or come with someone who is already a member. There is also a $ 5 fee for the DJ. Best $ 10 I’ve spent for a fun filled night of hilarity. CAN’T wait to come back!

I can only speak about the 60s night event here. I’ve been attending for 4 or 5 years (cannot believe that!) and really enjoy the last Friday of every month. The clientele for 60s night has also changed a great deal in that time span. Now you need a Lith Hall ID and then cover on top of that, so make sure you have cash when you show up.
Even though there are now longer lines, don’t expect to wait long for drinks. The bartenders are pretty good at going straight down the line and don’t always choose favorites, which is nice.
What I really like about the Lith Hall, besides the great prices, is that everyone there can be trusted. We oftentimes bury our purses under jackets and don’t worry too much throughout the night.

Ahem. .…ladies and gentlemen. Put on your best 50’s and 60’s gear. Ladies, paint your face to perfection. Gentlemen, please buff your shoes. Now. .. prepare to dance the night away to some of the best vintage music you’ve never heard! Remember to take a cab coming and going cuz those beers and those shots will FFFFF you up. I cannot say that enough (by experience obviously)! Pablo Fiasco has a Northern Soul party once a year and sometimes, those parties just happen. But if you’re looking for a great time where all you do is laugh and smile with your friends, GET THYSELF TO THE LITHUANIAN HALL!!!
