Bars in Baltimore

Ale Mary's is one of Baltimore's most beloved neighborhood bars — a Hampden establishment with an extraordinary beer selection and the most warmly irreverent Catholic kitsch décor (crucifixes, Virgin Mary statues, nun paraphernalia) in the Baltimore bar scene. Hampden's extraordinary working-class Catholic heritage and its transformation into Baltimore's most creative neighborhood creates a bar culture that Ale Mary's celebrates with genuine affection and excellent craft beer.

Fell's Point is Baltimore's most historically significant entertainment district — a 18th-century port neighborhood where the Constellation (the last all-sail US Navy warship) docks and where hundreds of bars and restaurants serve the most active waterfront entertainment scene in Maryland. The neighborhood's extraordinary maritime heritage, its cobblestone streets, and its concentration of outstanding bars and restaurants create one of the East Coast's most authentic and beloved waterfront entertainment experiences.

Bluegrass Tavern is one of Baltimore's most beloved Federal Hill neighborhood bars — a South Baltimore institution with an outstanding bourbon collection and regular live bluegrass music serving the Federal Hill community of young professionals and longtime Baltimore residents. Federal Hill's extraordinary viewpoint (the spot from which Lincoln watched Baltimore during the Civil War) and its vibrant bar scene create one of Baltimore's most pleasant entertainment neighborhoods.

Clavel Mezcaleria is Baltimore's most acclaimed mezcal bar — a Remington restaurant presenting one of the East Coast's finest mezcal collections alongside exceptional Oaxacan-influenced cuisine. Baltimore's growing creative economy and its talented immigrant community have created a Mexican culinary culture of unusual authenticity, and Clavel's extraordinary mezcal collection and food program serve that community at the highest level.

Harbor East is Baltimore's most upscale entertainment district — a waterfront development adjacent to the Inner Harbor presenting the city's finest restaurants, luxury hotels, and cocktail bars for the Baltimore executive and visitor market. Harbor East's extraordinary combination of waterfront views, luxury accommodations, and outstanding restaurants creates an entertainment experience that competes directly with the finest urban dining and drinking experiences in the mid-Atlantic.

Heavy Seas Alehouse is Baltimore's most celebrated craft brewery taproom — presenting the outstanding ales and lagers produced by Heavy Seas Beer (one of the East Coast's most respected craft breweries) in a beautifully designed downtown Baltimore taproom. Heavy Seas' consistent production of nationally recognized beers and its extraordinary hop-forward ales and barrel-aged specialties have made it one of the most important craft breweries in the mid-Atlantic region.

Max's Taphouse is one of the East Coast's most celebrated craft beer bars — a Fell's Point institution with 100+ draft beers and 1,000+ bottles that has been serving Baltimore's most discerning craft beer community since 1999. Fell's Point's extraordinary concentration of bars and restaurants (one of the highest bar-per-block ratios in Maryland) and Max's extraordinary beer selection create a craft beer experience that draws enthusiasts from across the mid-Atlantic.

Peabody Heights Brewery is one of Baltimore's most beloved craft breweries — a Clifton Park facility producing outstanding lagers and ales that honor the great brewing traditions of Baltimore's German immigrant community while creating genuinely contemporary craft beer. Baltimore's German-American heritage (the Hamm's, National Bohemian, and Arrow Beer breweries that once dominated Baltimore) creates deep cultural roots for Peabody Heights' commitment to lager excellence.

Pratt Street Ale House is one of Baltimore's most beloved craft beer institutions — a downtown brewpub producing outstanding Oliver ales and serving the Inner Harbor business and tourist community with genuine quality and authentic Baltimore hospitality. Baltimore's position as a major mid-Atlantic port city with one of America's most interesting brewing histories (National Bohemian Brewing Company, whose iconic Mr. Boh character remains Baltimore's most beloved mascot) creates a craft beer culture with deep local roots.

Woodberry Kitchen is Baltimore's most celebrated farm-to-table restaurant and bar — a Clipper Mill institution that has defined the mid-Atlantic locavore cooking movement while creating one of the most beautiful dining and drinking environments in Maryland. Its extraordinary commitment to sourcing exclusively from the Chesapeake Bay watershed creates a bar and food program genuinely shaped by Maryland's remarkable agricultural and seafood heritage.
