Came here recently for an event and was super excited because I'd been hearing about LB Skybar for a while. I've gotta say, in the end I was extremely disappointed.
It's a rooftop bar so that's immediately a plus, especially because Baltimore is lacking in this scene. While they do have a nice variety of seating (couches, Cabañas for shade, high tops, etc), the decor looks cheap and like it was thrown together at the last minute. The string lights around our cabana, which actually gave a nice ambiance to the place, weren't working. Shame. And the plastic drink-ware definitely doesn't help, although this probably isn't their fault and could be due to safety codes.
The food was especially disappointing. When I greeted my group, I was immediately advised not to order the crab roll because it was flavorless and overpriced. Okay, noted. Instead, I got the chicken buns for $15. This dish came out on a paper plate, with a side of chips and 3 steamed buns of chicken and slaw. Great --unlike the other dishes, they did not skimp here! But the chicken itself was just not good. I felt like I was eating a microwave meal. For that price, I could've cooked myself up something 100x better. Would never order food from here again.
I get the vibe that this place is going for, and I really really wish they could pull it off. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time at the event thanks to good company and the help of alcohol. But between the bad food, the plastic/paper dishes, and the decor... this just ain't it. I most likely won't be back, since there are much better outdoor spaces in Baltimore to enjoy.
