April 3rd, 2012 | 2 Comments

While breezing through Fells Point the other day, I couldn’t help but notice that Woody’s Run Bar and Island Grill (1700 Thames St.) looked conspicuously stripped down, had some conspicuous yellow tape running along the length of its balcony windows, and had a more than conspicuous telltale bright orange STOP WORK order pasted to the side door on the shared-entrance (with European Football enthusiast bar Slainte) staircase leading up to the establishment.

GUESS WHAT! It’s a different time now, and different people are politically relevant.

Rowhouse Grille soon to be open 7 days a week, probably

February 9th, 2012 | 1 Comment

When it was remodeled from the previously existing Light Street Station, Rowhouse Grille (1400 South Light St, Federal Hill) opened in 2009 and was seen by some as a welcome addition to the Federal Hill neighborhood, while others gave it the now typical “I give it a year at most” divination. Welp, 2.5 years later, Rowhouse Grille is still open and it seems as though owner Pat Dahlgren – the same guy who’s now manning … Read entire article »
