Order of the Ace

Love the live music until ten. Luxe vibe inside with plenty of space to enjoy solo or with a group. I went solo. Justin was the best! I almost didn't go because the menu didn't have enough gin options for me, but Justin heard the type of cocktails I like and made me two off menu that were soooo good. Great customer service!

My friends and I walked over to Order of the Ace after dinner at The Ruxton Steakhouse. Based on the reviews I thought it was a speakeasy which is usually unassuming and has a secret entrance or door. You can walk through the front door to get to the bar or if leaving The Ruxton it is on your right side before leaving out. Order of the Ace definitely gave speakeasy vibes with the retro furniture, artwork, and jazz music. This is a sophisticated bar and lounge that seats 40 which offers live entertainment every night. It is for the girls that can appreciate a well made craft cocktail. There are only drinks offered here so if you are hungry you should dine before arriving. The drinks are pricey but are of great quality.Reservations can be made or you can stop in and hope seats are available. You must be 21 or older and everyone gets carded. We were a party of 4 and found seats at the bar. Our bartender was friendly and personable. The live jazz music was very nice and we were able to still hear each other talk.This is a great place to take a date or meet up with friends for drinks.

Order of the Ace is fantastic overall and is a perfect place for a date or celebration with friends.The drinks are a bit on the pricier end, starting at $20. If you like fruity sweet cocktails, I would definite go for the Bohemian Grove. I would not get the Aqua Vitae, as it looks pretty much just like water - very boring presentation - and tastes like straight up liquor. It's a very strong drink.If you don't drink alcohol, you can order a mocktail for $20. They don't have a mocktail menu and it is ore of a "dealer's choice." The server/ bartender will ask you a couple of questions (ie. Sweet? Fruity? What flavors do you like? Dislike?)Service was fantastic and very quick. Although we did make a reservation for 8:45pm, we still had to wait 15-20 minutes when we got there, even though it did not seem too busy inside. They also did not check my ID at allThe vibes inside are amazing. There's live music every night, you just have to check who's playing with their schedule online. It is also not too dark inside.

Popped in for drink (mocktail) after having dinner at The Ruxton. It's beautiful art deco cocktail bar that's connected to The Ruxton. It is a complete vibe. Very intimate. I believe it's 12 small tables and a small bar. The live music is perfect. You can enter it from the restaurant but it also has its own seperate entrance. Mocktails are even more expensive here than the Ruxton. My mojito mocktail was $23. Service was good.

Fantastic experience twice in 3 weeks. Great customer service, atmosphere, and beverages. September 15th, 2024I visited this establishment w friends and family. We were assisted by Abby who had an awesome, bubbly, and kind personality. We ordered quite a few items. As far as beverages, we ordered Tree of Life, Secret Handshake, and Bohemian Grove. There was a 4th beverage that Abby made for my gf that wasn't on the menu, yet was perfect for her. She loved it. All 4 beverages were well crafted with care, and perfect. October 4th, 2024 Celebratory Outing w HubbyI visited this establishment w Hubby. I really wanted him to try one of their crafted Cocktails. It was soooo cold in this establishment that we requested 2 Hot Toddy's instead. Selina was a great bar tender to us. She quickly assisted w our beverages, and made them perfectly. She checked back in on us to make sure we were satisfied, and maintained professional pleasantries. At some point, the temperature was regulated. We were happy!! It allowed us to stay a little longer and maximize our experience. I look forward to returning in the near future.

Incredible vibes-- the live jazz music is truly 10000/10. The cocktail menu wasn't very extensive or my type, there was only 1 drink I found interesting (it was good!) but would have loved more options. The wagyu sliders were super yummy! However everything is pretty pricey here for relatively small portions (drinks and food). Perfect for a special occasion or fancy night out.

Great cocktail spot in Harbor East! Love the speakeasy vibe and the live music is such a nice touch. The seating is so elegant and the bar is so stunningly beautiful. The bartenders were very knowledgeable about the flavor profiles of the drinks. Will definitely be back!

**gorgeous, swanky interior, amazing live jazz. Service was subparMy friend and I made a reservation on a Wednesday night which was easy enough. This bar is located in Harbor East, so street parking is available, as are garages.I was very excited to try this place, and the drinks did not disappoint! Very inventive and tasty. I got the Secret Handshake, which has vodka, agricole rum, and fruity notes. Very smooth and the lemon peel garnish was a nice touch! My friend got the Allegory of the Cave, which has Japanese whiskey, bermutto, among other things. He really enjoyed it! Although he said the plum at the bottom was extremely sour (which I had warned him would be!)The live jazz was great, but be aware that it ends on weekdays at 10pm. So unfortunately we only heard a few minutes before they ended for the night.The inside is spacious and open. The regular seats and tables are along the walls, while the piano and other instruments are right in the center. The bar seats are in the very back. Given it was a weekday night, it wasn't very busy. Unfortunately, I found the service subpar. There was no hostess when we arrived (and we waited for a few minutes), so we had to seat ourselves. But when we asked the bartender, she said there is always a hostess. So that was very confusing? After we sat down, we also did not get served for more than 10 minutes, despite there only being 4 or so other people there. Very strange. Once we finally flagged down the bartender, the service became much smoother thereafter. So I imagine this is a kink they need to work out (understandable, as they opened very recently). I would still happily come back though!

Service is absolutely horrible. Had a reservation and was told I'd be helped then the waiter proceeded to take care of everyone else waiting in line and kept us waiting forever. Absolutely horrible service. Atlas restaurants are overhyped and provide terrible service. It's a shame that they're expanding.

Order of the Ace, an Atlas owned restaurant, elevates the dinner experiences of both tourist and locals in Harbor East Baltimore. The atmosphere is sophisticated and the live music and service -excellent. However, be aware that they ID patrons at this cocktail bar. My only concern was too much ice in the cocktail Golden Dawn.
