Engineer's Club

An absolutely beautiful place. I came with a group of friends over the weekend for dinner with one of them being a member at this private club. It was just our group downstairs for the late dinner and the staff who took care of us were amazing.We all ordered drinks and they brought out complimentary biscuits that were piping hot and fresh. It was super moist and so good with the buttered balls spread on it. For my main, I chose the Shrimp and Scallops Etouffe. The pieces were large and the creole sauce was excellent. After dinner, our member friend took us on a tour of the mansion. It was great seeing the different rooms. This place was huge and the architecture was really beautiful. What an amazing experience to be able to dine here and explore this space!

WOW WOW WOW. I visited the Engineer's Club with a friend a few weeks ago when they hosted performances of Eugene Onegin by the Baltimore Opera. The Engineer's Club is located in the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion in Mount Vernon. It's the city's oldest private social club, but it hosts events and weddings in addition to serving its membership functions. It was an absolutely stunning venue for an opera. The staircase, the wood, the stage...! If you love architecture, you just have to see it for yourself (may in combination with that other gorgeous building just down the street - you know the one!). Definitely adding it to my list of Baltimore's most beautiful buildings. If you have a chance, don't hesitate to visit for a performance or event. I know I'll be back for another opera next season. They also offer tours, which I am adding to my must do in Baltimore list!

Truly a magical space - I must have walked by a million times but never knew this space existed. The night I went the Opera Baltimore was showing "Eugene Onegin". The venue was magical - I felt like I stepped into a Time Machine. The show was superb - funny and dramatic (this the opera) and the cast was so talented. The seating is set up so the chairs do move - we were in row L and the view wasn't bad - I could see faces and read the subtitles. I highly recommend checking Opera Baltimore for their schedule and making a visit to the Engineer's Club ASAP. It's so special.

There's a beautiful treasure in the Baltimore neighborhood of Mt Vernon called the Engineers Club. I've been fortunate enough to attend two different Thirty Thursday's through Opera Baltimore wherein patrons can experience a highlights concert with wine tastings. The Engineers Club is an amazing venue for this event because the ambiance feels lavish and worldly. While the music and wine are wonderful, the interior details are unforgettable. My biggest tip? Remember to look up!

It is always delightful to come to the Garret-Jacob Mansion. This is a beautiful home steeped in history. Today, we came for a lecture by historian Wayne Schaumburg. He talked about Christmas in Old Baltimore. We went all the way back to the 1940's with a terrific slide presentation on what has stayed the same and what has changed over the years. Wayne made the theatre come alive with slides of the great holiday customs from the 1940s to the 1960s, including downtown shopping, visiting Santa, the Toytown Parade, firehouse train gardens, and even our favorite holiday topic to quibble over: aluminum trees. The time just flew by - we thoroughly enjoyed a walk down memory lane.

On the night of a fluke heat wave in B-more, I took the better half to an evening of craft cocktails by the amazing Brendan Door paired with arias by the Baltimore Concert Opera. The venue is amazing and historic, with great entertaining space and a small theatre. Unfortunately the heat could not be turned down as it was still supposed to be winter. It that did little to detract from a super fun evening. Can't wait until next year's event.

This place is a hidden gem here in the city, and has been around for decades. Me being a history nerd, the first event/chance I had to head over here I took it! The space is absolutely beautiful and maintains most of the original splendor and unique touches that were there in the past. I love the open courtyard area and for someone who would love to plan a dream event or party this would be one of the places to check out for sure. There are multiple rooms, spaces to hang out and accommodations. Staff was really nice and I look forward to the next time I get to check it out.

I've come to this place twice now for Thirsty Thursday's at the Opera. This is an awesome event and you should go! The first one I saw was Arias, Ambers and IPAs, where they pair opera songs (live music!) with beers. They chose a lot of fun songs from different operas. I've never heard an opera sung in English before, that was a first! The operas in foreign languages have subtitles projected above the stage so you can understand the song. This was my favorite event! I also went to Vino and Verdi, where they sang select songs from Rigoletto--I liked this event a little less but it was still fun! They walk you through the entire opera. The location is beautiful. There's an outdoor-looking courtyard area that is completely enclosed. All the rooms are fancy and elegant and you feel like the classiest lady just being there.

Came here for the Baltimore Whiskey Festival. This Engineer's Club is located in Mt. Vernon. Upon entering the building, we were greeted by a gracious host and given our company whiskey glass. The building is historical and has a lovely space and flow throughout.The Whiskey Festival featured samplings of assorted whiskeys that were located throughout the historic building. There was food included in the cost, consisting of meatballs w/ marinara sauce, jumbo coconut shrimp, fruit and veggie spread in addition to waiters walking around with trays of hors'dorves. The whiskey, ahum, THE WHISKEY...there were various distilleries with whiskeys representing the US, including Maryland, and overseas. The reps were knowledgeable and pleasant in informing you of the various methods used to create them. There was a whiskey seminar with tastings, an awesome jazz quartet and the Maker's Mark folks were dipping glasses in their icon red plastic drip! The crowd was much more, shall I say, refined than at the other events that Trigger Agency has had(e.g. wine; beer, bourbon & BBQ, beer and crab festivals). The description did mention business casual attire, so that may be why. Anywhoo, the Whiskey Fest is definitely one that I will be visiting again!

We had our December 2022 wedding reception at the Engineers Club. The evening was everything we had dreamed of and more! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, unique, elegant and is just something truly special. Several of our guests commented it's the most beautiful wedding venue they've ever seen. The food was delicious - from freshly shucked oysters, to some of the best crab cakes we've ever had - the Club has an incredibly expansive menu to choose from for your big day. The staff were also extremely pleasant and wonderful to our guests - so respectful and willing to help in any way they could with anything that came up during the reception. Asha was also an absolute pleasure to work with - she was incredibly professional, responsive, and instrumental in the planning of everything leading up to the big day. The Engineers Cub team is wonderful and we cannot say enough good things.
