  Dark and divey just the way I like it. Reasonable prices and you can bring pizza in from next door.

  So if you have read some of my other reviews you know I fluctuate between high end dining and dive bars. This review and rating for the Baltimore is based on a comparison to other dive bars and not fine dining.
  
  We always stop in here whenever we're spending the night in Detroit. It's a fun bar during the day if you're in town for an event like a Tigers or Lions game. At night, when the out of town folks go back home after the game, it becomes a hot spot for locals to congregate and have a few drinks. They offer decent bar food and the atmosphere and music varies wildly from country to hip-hop. There is a fantastic diversity of culture and an all around good vibe.
  
  The bottom line: The Baltimore is a fun and friendly Detroit dive bar.

  I literally downloaded the Yelp app to write this review.
  
  I paid $16 for 2 sodas with a splash of vodka. Not worth it and will not come back. Smelled like sewage...
  
  Many other places in the same area with much cheaper drinks.

  This bar has great potential, but the Saturday night I was there it was a dump.  For starters, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting and what I would consider out of commission, the atmosphere was super trashy and the bartenders didn't know how to make pretty basic shots.  
  
  I could see how this could be a cool hole-in-the-wall if you went during the week, but I don't recommend on the weekends unless you want to get black out drunk or bump into people all night long.
  
  There is a little bar in the back which was not open, which could have provided for a VERY different, and more pleasurable, experience.

  Classic shithole bar. I walked in most recently with a few friends during a Greektown bar crawl. It was our second stop. We walked in to a practically-empty bar.
  
  Much to our dismay, the light-up bar wasn't on; we asked and they said it's broken. Nothing like fixing the one thing that makes your bar desirable; because everything else about this place is awful.
  
  High drink prices, smaller-than-standard pours on shots and overall dirty feel. This isn't a bar I'd visit again in the future.
