Sobo Market

Lovely little spot in southern Baltimore. The drinks are excellent, one of my wife and my favorite old fashioned's! We have sat outside and at the bar, both are a great time. The only real issue with SoBo Market is the parking situation - it can be difficult to find a spot and there is a lot of residential parking nearby. Vibe check ✅

I am so bummed I haven't visited SoBo Market sooner! It stands out from other Americans bar/grills with thoughtful cocktails and food that is well seasoned AND balanced - a RARE find! We ordered the Jungle Bird, Georgian Boulevardier, short rib melt, "sausage" parm sub, pierogies, and finished with an ice cream sandwich. The cocktails were both tasty, though the Boulevardier was on the sweeter side. I just let the ice melt and sipped it slowly. Beer selection is also really nice with $6 pours on certain drafts. 💁‍♀️ Both sandwiches were fantastic! I was worried that they would be too skimpy on filling based on other reviews, but I thought the amount provided was PERFECT. Anything further would have been too much for the strong flavours they had going. The short rib + picked onions absolutely popped! 💥 Veg sausage with marinara and mozz was an interesting riff that we also loved. Even the bread on both sandwiches was top notch. 👌😍 The pierogies were tasty, but had a little bit of a stale crunch. Not sure if they sat in a window for too long or what. Good if you're craving them, but I'm not sure if they rocked my socks as much as the sandwiches. 🤔 We weren't hungry anymore, but got the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich to finish. It was huge, so my husband and I split it. The ice cream had great texture and wasn't grainy or crystalized at all like you sometimes find with house-made stuff. All-in-all, SoBo Market is an absolute gem that is going on our short list of reliable places that can serve up well-seasoned, balanced food. Whenever we have a bad meal, now we can swing by here to palate cleanse. 😆👍 Edit: Subsequent visits have slapped just as hard as the first time. 👏😭 I love this place so much.

Amazing neighborhood place! The food is good, the vibe is good, and the drinks are good. Having been to the sister location a few blocks north (SoBo Cafe), I definitely prefer this location. The food and drinks are great at both, but this one has a substantially better chill and happy environment. The former is much more of a date/business meeting vibe. Highly recommend you stop by and give it a try!

Great addition to the neighborhood! We came for the happy hour and stayed for the comfortable atmosphere and friendly service. The menu isn't the biggest, but the quality was on point. Be sure to ask about the drink specials...I'd highly recommend the $5 HH Old Fashioned and the "Future Ball" (image shown) if you enjoy bourbon. Tristian was our server and took great care of us.
