Meander Art Bar — Restaurant in Baltimore

If you're looking for a corner bar with good food, good drinks, and good vibes this is the place. If you're seeking social arts and crafts, welcome home!

I've been to Meander Art Bar, previously known as Saunter Corner Bar, a few times now; most recently for their grand opening as Meander Art Bar and for their Lunar New Year celebration. Each time I have visited, the food and drinks have been spectacular. Knowing the grand opening was expected to be busy, I was prepared for lines and wait times for food/drinks. Despite the wait, which wasn't that long, my food was freshly cooked (hot) and so dang good. Everyone at my table ordered a burger and we all had the same sentiment after the first bite - "this is a REALLY good burger!" I had a similar experience with food at the Lunar New Year celebration - we ended up ordering everything on the menu - no regrets. Everything was well prepared and incredibly tasty. I haven't stopped thinking about the cilantro cocktail since.

I love that they have reusable art kits on site. I did not use a kit during the opening, I did look at one and things seem pretty straight forward. Your instructions and most of your supplies are in the kit, with a designated area for the items that get used (ex: paper). I observed them being used during the opening as well and it seemed like everyone was having a great time.

The space is a decent size, well decorated, has a cozy-welcoming vibe, and is a great place to get together with your friends; and do arts and crafts. As an arts and crafts person, I am happy this space exists. I am looking forward to the events they have planned (Art Club, Stitch Night, etc) and whatever...

A local place where you can grab a craft cocktail, some delicious food, and also unleash your inner artistic abilities...I'm in love. Welcome Saunter Corner Bar, or soon to be Meander Bar, to the Baltimore community.

If you have a love for arts and crafts and are looking for a great neighborhood hangout, then look no further then Saunter Corner Bar. I recently attended their Art Club Nite where you can bring whatever crafty piece you're working on and mingle with likeminded artistic people, get inspired, and learn some new things. Of course, no experience needed, so bring whatever art ability you have. I grabbed a fig mocktail and an order of some of the best fries I've had in a long while and snagged a table to work on my embroidery. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were really nice. I even met some other creatives that invited me to their table to mingle with them since I was by myself.

I'm happy to have such a creative new hangout in the area. And I look forward to attending many more of Saunter Corner Bar's events or popping in to grab some brunch on...

Update: I’ve had great experiences here, but I wanted to mention that the woman working Friday night was unwelcoming and made the visit feel off. I’ll be back during the week when the man who previously helped me is working.

I had a great experience at this neighborhood spot. The person behind the counter was kind and welcoming, taking the time to answer all my questions even though I already knew what I wanted. It made the whole ordering process feel easy and comfortable. The food was made with care.

What’s also nice is that you can purchase an art project kit there and work on your project while you’re at the spot. Such a great concept! And I’m so glad to see they have busy weekend nights—it’s well deserved. I hope they stick around for a long time. Places like this really make the neighborhood better.

One tiny request: if possible, could they remove the weeds in the sidewalk? They seem to attract mosquitoes, and while it’s a small thing, it would make the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be...
