Reply to comment by tjo5112 in What's the social scene like in Baltimore? by 9to5Voyager

Hey thanks for your response. I love Ottobar for shows! That's def the vibe I'm into.

I don't mind people drinking, I'm just personally a little bored of the bar setting. I'd love a late-night lounge or something that isn't centered completely around drinking. Like maybe you could sit and read?

Maybe that's just my dream public space and it doesn't exist lol 😅

Ah okay, so if you are familiar with Ottobar, you're likely aware of similar places.

Yeah, I'm not sure where you'd find a lounge like that. If it doesn't need to be exactly that, but you're just looking for something a bit different, maybe you just want to look for places and events that are a bit more quirky?

If that's the case, Creative Alliance in Paterson Park could be of interest. I went to an "interactive movie" night there recently, and it was a little wacky and pretty fun. Also, I haven't been able to get there yet (plan to soon), but Red Emma's seems to have events that are a bit different.

It's mostly music shows, but Balt Showplace also has the above types of events listed. If you haven't ever looked at the site before, check it out! Super useful for finding out about events across the city:

These are great suggestions, thanks! I've been meaning to go to Red Emma's for an event (I've only ever stopped by for coffee).

Creative Alliance seems super cool, and I wasn't aware of Balt Showplace so thanks for those!

Quirky is right up my alley haha. ;)
