A romantic, literary themed cocktail bar in Hampden, Baltimore.

The Pub

 

Live Music IN The Pub

Hidden beneath The Bluebird, The Pub is a cozy, intimate basement bar that feels like a secret Parisian jazz club tucked away beneath the streets of Baltimore. Candlelit tables, brick walls, classic cocktails, and live acoustic music create the perfect setting to settle in for an evening of listening.

From Monday through Thursday, we host some of Baltimore's most beloved recurring music nights, featuring everything from Django jazz and traditional Irish music to bluegrass, old-time, and modern jazz.

Some performances are free and open to all ages, while Baltimore Jazz Underground concerts have a $10 cover, with every dollar going directly to support the musicians.

Mondays: Django Jazz Jam

Every Monday | 7:00–11:00 PM

Hosted by Michael Joseph Harris and the acclaimed Hot Club of Baltimore, the Monday Django Jazz Jam has been a Baltimore tradition since 2012. Inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt, the evening celebrates gypsy jazz, French waltzes, traditional jazz, and spontaneous collaboration.

Whether you're an experienced player or simply want to settle in with a cocktail and listen, Monday nights are one of the most beloved traditions in Baltimore's music scene.

No cover. All ages welcome.

Tuesdays: Baltimore Old Time & Bluegrass Jams

Alternating Tuesdays | Doors 6:00 PM
