Select Lounge

This place is absolutely terrible. Do not come here to party. They do. Everything on heir own time and the bouncers will make you leave and get physical if you come outside after your entrance. The DJs suck!!! The bouncers both me. And women are rude and inappropriate

So I was looking for a review for the average girl perspective, you know the girl who does more happy hours than nightclubs, does not spend weekends twerking, is definitely not a avid stack dropper for bottle service.
That girl did not post a review so I took one for the team and went! Let me start by saying I booked a table because it was my birthday, I wanted to dress cute but be comfortable and not worry about not having a seat. So I dropped the $ 211 booking fee via the website. Not including the $ 40 gratuity fee at the door.
When I arrived I was greeted by some spacy bottle girl who informed me they didnt have crown royal apple (ehhh really) and that bottle service started at $ 300. I asked her what did the $ 200 cover and to my shock she was confused. She had to get someone else who told who had me pull up my online confirmation and the same bottle of large ciroc I gotr was instantly covered… before it was $ 300. So book online first to save some coins. We also got hookah which was $ 46 …very expensive and just ok but if your splitting between 4 ppl then why not?
The crowd was young and fun, the music was current hip hop, not alot of club music (thank God) Oh and if you want a seat after 12 book a table or stand up.
Overall I enjoyed my night and left wobbling (it was like 4 ppl to a bottle of large ciroc plus infused cupcakes). I didnt like that the lounge is mostly table service and not much room to interactive with other people.

This actually should be a minus star for a terrible place. First: it is a get to place with no valet or parking option we were lucky to park off street. Second: they check you for guns and weapons ops Baltimore. Then, the woman at the door is rude. The bartender is a sweetheart mixed drinks were ok. Ladies drink for free before 10 pm so it was a five deal. But I do not recommend this place.

One of my fave lounges to attend. I typically come for the hump day happy hour because of the «bottle special». $ 100 for a bottle so I can have a seating area. Hookah is offered and drink specials during this time as well. Get there early so you get a decent table. We usually get stuck at the couch right under the dj booth lol. I love the décor and the atmosphere and my fave dj p drama!

Its my homegirl’s b-​day, 14 ppl willing to pay $ 280 to get in & buy drinks for 40 minutes and you worrying about no Tims? But sneakers can get in? Bad business, Baltimore is wack on all levels! I’ll be partying DC! Norma Jeans was weak too! Rachet azz hoe strippers, I’ll stick with Stadium!

So I tried Select for the first time this last weekend. I have lived in many big Cities, Dallas, Orlando, etc but moving to Baltimore I have not found a decent club that is upscale and I fit in. This may be it! Very hip, very modern, very nice. From Valet service to bottle service, this club belongs more in Vegas than Baltimore. They have my business and my $ for now. Hope it stays this way!

Seems okay to me. Came here for Mayweather «fight night» and enjoyed myself. Cover was $ 20, which normally would’ve been too much for my taste, but given the fact that the fight was showing, I didn’t mind. Lance Gross hosted the party that I went to, which was very cool, since Select doesn’t seem to me to be a place to which celebs would often come. Nice lighting and okay atmosphere as well… and the drinks were very reasonably priced! The crowd is younger (avg age is prob about 26 – 28)and urban. The music is popular contemporary hip-​hop and R&B. If there was one weak point, it would be the DJ and the $ 20 valet parking. The music had very little variety and I’m sorry, but this is Baltimore, NOT NY, so I am not paying $ 20 to valet park lol. In any case, I would return.

STAY AWAY! This place was absolutely horrible! First off we were told it opened up at 9:00 it didn’t open until 10pm. Then we were told that we could get a hooka to get a table instead of the required $ 60 bottle. We said cool because basically that’s less money we have to put out. Then later the waitress comes back and says that we have to move because these tables are reserved for wine bottle purchases. I then said but you told us we could get the hooka instead. She said this is what her manager told her. So I nicely went to the manager and explained him to what happened he said ok, we’ll take back the hooka and you can get the bottle. Ok great! NOT… 20 minutes later Alex the owner said that we had to get the hooka and the $ 60 bottle which came up to $ 96! Not counting my three friends paid $ 20 to get in (when they were told it would be $ 10 when they called). Also the normal drinks were over priced. The place wasn’t even that nice big burn holes in the couch. If my friends didn’t pay that much money we would’ve left. Also the music was good at the beginning a mixture of old school and new. Towards the end it was for the young kids. If your over 25 this is not the place for you. Oh and for some reason the bathroom doors stay open each time I closed it when I came back it was open. That is weird. I can’t believe how much this place sucked!

Never, ever, ever will I visit this sorry excuse for a lounge/​club ever again. Any respectable business owner should know and understand that one of the key elements to properly owning and running a successful business is CUSTOMER SERVICE.
If you hire employees who are down-​right disrespect to their guests then you need to re-​learn Business 101. Your guests are the source of your income and I would think you would have them treated in such a way that they enjoy your establishment, so much so, to the point that they come back and bring friends with them. Because guess what? Word of mouth grows your business. It’s no surprise that Select Lounge is dead on any given weekend.
On one particular night I went to Select Lounge with some friends and the bouncer (woman) was exceptionally rude for no reason. I had flats in my clutch. She told me that I better throw «that shit» away? Excuse me? She insisted I couldn’t go inside with them, but she wouldn’t give me a reason as to why. She snatched my purse out of my hands, took the flats out and threw them out onto the street. I was shocked and appalled. This type of behavior really occurs? I couldn’t understand the logic. I was allowed to go in with pepper spray, but not flats. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. And I can understand from the past this establishment has had violent incidences, but I don’t see how flats posed any danger compared to pepper spray. Especially, since they give you plastic cups at the bar. And if she felt like I was hiding something in the sole or something she could have searched them. They roll up and bend in any way. I don’t think a razor bends, does it? Anyway, I pray for ignorant people. I don’t stoop down to their level. I didn’t get «loud» or anything. I let karma work it out for me.
On top of that bartenders had no clue what was going on with the open bar promotion. It took them about 10 mins to call someone to ask if there was an open bar or not. Another business tip… make sure your employees understand what is going on with your own establishment.
The owners of Select should be ashamed of themselves.

I have been here twice and truly enjoyed myself. Drinks are cheap and music is really good! I will be in attendance this Saturday for a Leo Birthday Bash! They always have free passes if you subscribe to teh free text messages. I am really excited to go this weekend!

This place is an absolute gem.
What an amazing venue. The outside completely hides the absolute beauty on the inside. Hardwood floors, carpeted seating areas, plush couches and an additional lounge in the back for all you hookah lovers.
The music was great, we danced all night, bottle service was fast and friendly. Bartenders were on point with drinks and mixology.
Overall totally great experience and we will be back!

Here’s the breakdown
Get on the list ! Go to the website you will be able to get in for free before a certain time. We signed up on Saturday and it’s free before 10:30. We got there at 9:59 and went straight to the bar. Ordered drinks and the bartender said that it was open bar until 10. So we did get a free drink, not sure what it was.
Then we proceeded to order 2 sets of shots. 2 shots were $ 7. And best believe they were worth the 3.50 a piece. not very strong at all. Then later we order to BLUE Hawaiian. it also weak and not BLUE?
Anyway Bartendars were a tad on the slow side. and weak drinks. Well I’ve experienced worse… alot worse.
Moving on. No actual coat check in Baltimore in January. Just a coat rack in the back by the bathroom. I wasn’t about to leave my coat on a hanger unattended. Im not saying I was rocking some high lable shit, but I would like to leave with what I came in with.
At about 11ish some guy came a scooped up my bar stool I was hanging out on (with no explination) .at this point it’s not longer a lounge it’s a club. Being that. most of seating at that point is roped off for VIP. There are these wood tables where if you are lucky. you can grab a quick seat. But were mostly occupied but the folks sitting not really enjoying themselves at all the whole night texting, tweeting, fbing, instagraming. They seemed to never move all night, until the DJ played 30 seconds of a song they liked.
Music was great. DJ played a great mix of current rap, some classics, reggae, and club.
Parking there is street parking, but there is also valet. Now the valet was $ 10 when we got there … but it was $ 20 when we left. So just no it’s cheaper to party here if you get here before 10:30. (shrugs) if you are on a low baller budget.
Crowd, Im no spring chicken, I was definitely the oldest person in the club… except the security and the folks running the place.
Bathroom was decent. No complaints… but it was early. And Im sure if there is no one manning a coat check, I cant be sure there is someone maintaining the bathroom status.
It is a very nicely decorated place. you wouldn’t guess that from the outside.
All in all. Would I come back, Yes … someone else was having something. And I pregamed at home.

I came out here for Kiss N’ Grind (Vikter Duplaix event). The décor inside surprised me from the way the outside looked. Nice hardwood floors with cool furniture, flat screens around the bar (MNF was on), small stage and pumping sound system.
Bartenders were friendly, a bit slow, but it was an open bar event for the new Smirnoff flavors.
The VIP section had Hookah available, which is something my friend is looking for so I can let her know of this spot for that.
Overall, chill atmosphere with chill folks having a good time.

I was here for Vikter Duplaix’s Kiss N’ Grind presented by Smirnoff. Although it falls into the category of typical Baltimore lounge (read: one level, roped off «vip/​reserved», and 25 – 30 buck hookah); it was the perfect setting for this event. The décor was a dark hardwood décor with nouve furniture, lcd monitor that provided a little eye candy and a nice sound system.
For an event with an open bar, Select decided to only staff the bar with two bartenders. Per usual in these situations, one bartender was friendly… while the other was not and marginally attitudinal.
The thing that kept event goers engaged was Dj Phaze, Vikter Duplaix and a set by Dj Spen.
A suggestion, for Select if you wish to engage your patrons in the hookah side of your business offer specials to go along with special events. Or a Hookah Happy Hr.
Maybe I need to visit on another night but, I feel

Three of my friends and I went to the Kiss-​N-​Grind event and we had a good time. I had no clue what to expect from Select Lounge since I didn’t have a chance to read reviews before hand and haven’t heard much hype about it. When we go there we showed our ID’s and had our purses searched (I’m not use to going into a club and having my clutch/​small purse searched which is kinda sketchy, but hey I understand there are some crazy people out there). When we got inside we gave the hostess our names and we got two free drink tickets and we wondered in. At first it was really dark, the lights are very dim and there is a somewhat brightly lit bar on your right, a DJ area to the the left along with nicely decorated couches and tables for bottle service. There were only two bartenders working so it took a little while to get service, but luckily there were girls walking around serving small plates with Chicken or Beef with pasta Alfredo with shrimp and there were also fruit plates with grapes, pineapple, watermelon, honey dew, and cheese cubes. It was nice to have something to snack on while sipping on a caramel appletini, pineapple upside down cake, or apple fluff drink which was on special with Smirnoff’s flavored vodka. The food was okay, but I was still full from eating prior to arriving and the fruit plates were nice I liked the assortment of fruits but I couldn’t eat the cheese cubes tasted like they had been sitting out too long and were warm.
The DJ was pumping music there were lights, and music videos of naked girls shaded out dancing and touching themselves it was wild.

Overpriced disgusting food. Only one bartender and the promoters were very unorganized and seem inexperienced. I attended a day party on a Sunday.

will not be going back… After the police officer was shot there it put a horrid taste in my mouth
My Ethio friends work there so I dont mind giving them the business & the hookah bar in the Back is very posh.
Just wish it was somewhere safer

My favorite club in Baltimore… Maybe in the mid-​Atlantic region.
Beautifully appointed — hardwood, great lighting
Reasonably strict dress code/​search policy
GREAT music — not just everything you hear on the radio (my understanding is anyone who wants to DJ there has to offer an audition of sorts in the form of a mix CD)
Excellent selection of wines and spirits — I have yet to look for something that I didn’t find (but don’t ask me about the prices because I’ve always been treated as a guest)

Well… I must say that I was PLEASANTLY surprised. I don’t live in there so I don’t go to many of them, but I usually have a pretty good time at Baltimore clubs. The area is pretty rough, but there’s a parking lot right next door where most people park. It costs 5 dollars but make sure you pay it.
I definitely did not expect it to look that nice on the inside. I know I don’t get out much in Baltimore but most of the people here were dressed pretty nice. I didn’t see the typical barely there clothes or jeans or the baggy jeans on guys. They are pretty strict on dress code.
Music was pretty good, especially if you like rap/​hip hop, there was more of that being played than I’m used to at clubs, that’s not a negative comment btw. But I think they have different djs every weekend I think though.
There’s hookah in the back room also, I don’t know how that works though during club hours. Although many places call themselves, «lounges» they don’t really feel like it. This did, it never got crowded to the point where you couldn’t move, but there was still a nice sized crowd. Overall, I had a good time and will definitely be back.

First of all, let me inform you that I’m a reformed club head. Now that this is out of the way… Select Lounge. I wasn’t expecting much, since most bmore clubs are major letdowns, but this place was very nice! Very spacious with hardwood floors and monitors everywhere. Seating areas were plenty but fill up fast. There were 2 bars, but one was in VIP. That could be a problem because the bartenders did seem a little overwhelmed at times.
Definitely not a sneaker spot. The women were dressed very sexy and fellas came correct. The bathrooms offered some different décor ideas. Very relaxing. Sorry I can’t give you a better description, but the open bar did something to my memory.
Make sure you experience it at least once. Parking wasn’t that bad either.
