I've been eyeing this place in Pigtown for what feels like forever. Their limited hours always seemed to clash with my schedule, so imagine my excitement when I saw they were not only open but hosting an improv show! Talk about perfect timing. We rolled up and were immediately charmed by the atmosphere – way bigger than I expected! The improv show was a riot. Sure, there were a couple of clunkers (it's improv, folks!), but the overall energy was hilarious. I'm a big believer that laughter heals, and Pigtown could definitely benefit from a healthy dose of giggles. But here's what really sealed the deal for me – these folks host food giveaways for the unhoused. It's heartwarming to see a business genuinely caring for the community. This spot injects a much-needed dose of fun and compassion into the neighborhood. If you haven't checked it out, do yourself a favor and go get those laughs in! Fyi..They don't except cash.

The jazz show on May 29th was an excellent event! Old Major has all kinds of interesting and fun things happening, and the establishment is blessed with 2 amazing proprietors, who make everyone feel special. That’s magical in itself; but the food and drink offerings take everything even higher! This kind of atmosphere is hard to find; anywhere. Their events calendar has eclectic offerings, and the business is strongly integrated with and focused on promoting the community. It boils down to the proprietors; whose hospitality is unmatched. Try the place, it has something for everyone! Show less

I just hosted my husband’s 40th birthday here and the experience from start to finish was EXCELLENT! Candice was great to work with, designing a buffet menu and a space arrangement that worked with my party theme (murder mystery party for ~35 guests). We had the whole top floor and the vibes were immaculate and they set up the room exactly to my specifications and even made a couple changes on the fly (thank you!). I heard from so many people how great the food was — personally I LOVED the meatballs and the okra. Guests loved the wings, mac n cheese, channa masala, and sausage & rice especially. We had good drinks, friendly service, and an altogether wonderful time. Thanks so much to the Old Major team for making the evening perfect! Show less

I always recommend the plantains. Just really good! I’ve had dinner and drinks there before a show and never had to rush. The crew behind the bar is delightful, like genuinely friendly in a way that makes the space feel welcoming. Plenty of parking right out front, which makes it easy to just show up. They host a ton of other stuff too, like Silent Book Club, art events, all kinds of community hangouts. It’s one of those places that feels like it wants you to stick around. Show less

It was my 1st time checking out this spot for a comedy show. The staff is really friendly & the food is delicious (I had a spicy mango shrimp curry with brown rice).

What a hidden little gem in the middle of Pig Town, Baltimore! Really didn’t expect to walk into this joint but so glad I did.

I’m not a huge drinker but if you are they have some great options for that. Everyone at my table raved about the drinks. I love that they have different seating areas depending on what vibe you’re going for that day. Their ordering system it my favorite as it allows you time to really look at the menu without having to wait for a server to come once you’ve made your decision. I can’t believe I’ve lived in Baltimore this long and never been! Show less

I was taken here on a date last night. I'm almost never full from a meal out! This place will sell you REAL food. I almost never see long grain rice properly cooked in restaurants. In the curry, in the sausage peppers, beans and rice. So good! The bar fair was done right as well. The jerk chicken tots have cheese and chicken layered in the perfect ratios keeping the tots crispy till the end. I loved dipping them in the shrimp mango curry (not pictured). Drinks were a great value and suuuuuper tasty. The staff was extremely kind. This place truly is a treasure and definitely goin to be a neighborhood staple for me. Show less

We were a little surprised to start the evening by ringing a doorbell to get in, but the warm welcome that followed put us at ease right away. The atmosphere is fantastically unique, quirky, and full of character. The bartenders were genuinely friendly and the service was quick. We ordered the Mac ’n’ Cheese with Jerk Chicken, Yuca Bites, Chorizo con Arroz y Gandules and the Cinnamon Mini Donuts. Everything was perfectly seasoned (especially great if you enjoy a bit of heat like we do). The only downside was that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side. It also looks like they host a lot of interesting events like book readings, sip-and-paints, comedy shows and more. We didn’t get a chance to attend one this time, but it definitely added to the charm and made us want to come back. Show less
