Replay at Pose Rooftop Lounge — Restaurant in Maryland

I miss the old Pose when it was more like a club. I come to the Gaylord once a year for Katsucon in February. Usually I drop a few hundred dollars on drinks for myself and my friends over the course of the weekend. We loved dancing and hanging out in the comfortable lounge areas. I liked it because it was a fun space for older convention goers. The rooftop bar was my absolute favorite thing about visiting, hands down.

The new theming is millennial Instagram bait. It's unoriginal and tacky in the worst way. All of the decor pieces looked like they were just haphazardly installed over the previous ones. The bright lights are left on. I remember those same bright lights used to only be turned on to kick everyone out at 2AM. Now they're constant as if inviting you to leave immediately. The music is quiet. No one was dancing or even remotely looked like they were having a good time. The line for drinks was all the way to the elevators, and while the bartenders were trying to handle things to the best of their ability, they were understandably swamped. You could take one look at the laborious specialty drink menu and see why. There are arcade machines in the back that I didn't bother to check out because I heard it cost a dollar to play any of them.

I really see what yall were going for here, but my friends and I spent a very sad 30 minutes here (02/19/2022) before deciding to just go drink in our room. It was severely disappointing.

I can tell the place isn't finished, since the second floor wasn't open, so I'm curious to see it once it is totally complete. I know covid has hit everyone hard and it is probably very difficult to keep the place well staffed. I do understand this. I just want to let you know what one of your biggest fans thinks of the new changes, and how bummed we all were.

Maybe I'll change my review next year, but as it is, please consider making some changes to the...

Stop by replay if you're looking for a really fun 80s themed night. There's plenty of seating space throughout and an outdoor patio which wraps around one corner of the building. The views of the harbor are really great from outside as well. They have some very unique drinks themed after some of your '80s favorites, but the bartenders can also whip up whatever you like. There are also a few arcade games to play with friends as you reminisce about the...

This place has a neat theme and seems popular, but not too crowded. Seating is limited. The milkshakes are GREAT and the sig cocktails are fun. It was a nice stop during date night. The main disappointment is the arcade - each costs a dollar to play and there is no change machine. If you want to encourage people to hang out, drink, and play in an 80s themed bar, then maybe make the games a quarter, have a change machine. More...
