Hippo

It's been there since the 70s when it was called the Pink Hippopotamus. I've seen it through many incarnations, but the dance side has remained the same. It's always fun on weekends. It actually gets pretty mixed on Saturday nights with straight couples going. It's kind of a perennial for Baltimore.

the 1st Sunday night of every month is Ladies Tea at the Hippo! One of the few times when a huge crowd of ladies comes out to party!

Been there and if your not a regular the men or boys I should say, treat you like a straight man looking for a sports complex. I know several of the bar tenders and its all about the hustle of drinks not about can I help you what do you want or I'll be back. For out of towners GO ELSEWHERE DON"T WASTE YOUR MOPNEY!

The Hippo always plays bad music, has the nastiest looking guys and doesn't look like it's been updated since the 1940's.

I went to The Hippo during a trip to Baltimore and had heard a great deal about it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations compared to other clubs in cities I've visited. Service was poor, sound system bad, and the attitude hostile. Upon a return to the "Charm City", I would probably pass this place up.
