Decadent cocktail lounge with 70s vibes & inspired drinks
"While sipping a martini at Bloom's in Baltimore, you'll get the distinct feeling that something good is about to happen that night. Even if it's just how ice-cold they serve theirs while looking at yourself in one of the many mirrors strewn about the room. Those mirrored walls, silver palm trees, and purple seating give a fun ’70s LA vibe that makes you want to gamble, or just snack on warm olives, people-watch, and sip an espresso martini with a twist of citrus from the China-China liqueur. It's in the Hotel Ulysses, so there’s always a good mix of locals and hotel guests, meaning you’ll get a good story if you chat up a neighbor." - bryan kim, team infatuation

"The sultry cocktail lounge inside Baltimore’s Ulysses Hotel prioritizes flattering, intimate lighting above all: Donnelly says, "It should primarily be about making sure people are lit well and look hot," and continues, "To achieve that, the lighting needs to be dim, soft, warm, and at eye level. Strong overhead lighting casts unattractive shadows, and cooler lighting washes everyone out." He notes that lighting should both highlight unique architecture and, more importantly, make patrons look good. Musically, Donnelly favors a simple, timeless touch—a baby grand piano tucked in the corner playing the classics—to support a sensual atmosphere." - Amy McCarthy
"It was there at Saturday’s grand opening, where models Paloma Elsesser, Jari Jones, and Richie Shazam danced and glided around the opulent Bloom’s cocktail lounge—alongside a who’s who of Baltimoreans." - Arden Fanning Andrews
