The Bacon and Beer Happy Hour Roundup

June 2nd, 2009 | Add a Comment

The Bacon and Beer Happy Hour IV has come and gone and it was a pretty great time indeed. For a bar that has essentially made a name for itself solely through Tweeting frequently, Bad Decisions has really done a fine job of generating a ton of interest in their events and establishment in general, this particular event especially. The place was packed by 7pm and it was still packed when I left, having a grande olde time eating entirely too much bacon and drinking cheap beer. And when I say entirely too much bacon, I mean entirely too much bacon; instead of pretzels in baskets, they put out baskets of bacon as snacks. Each and every menu item had bacon in it (a lot of bacon) – I played it … Read entire article »

An evening at SILKS

April 28th, 2009 | 4 Comments

What seems like a thousand years ago, I was on a rather smallish bar crawl of sorts hitting up some of the non-square Canton establishments that I had frequently heard of, but never really been to. One such establishment was SILKS – a place whose name I found myself repeating out loud every time I passed it, because the name is printed in enormous letters on the side of the building, as well as in big neon CAPS on the door (picture slightly outdated). You’d think based on the mural on the side, SILKS is some sort of sports bar, yes? Well, the reality is somewhat different. Upon arriving at the front door of Silks, our group found it to be locked. There were people inside, vacantly staring at a television in … Read entire article »

Top 5 – some very generic bar names in Baltimore

April 10th, 2009 | 5 Comments

In what will be an undoubtedly failed attempt at sparking a bit of conversation on this often-times echo chamber of a website, today I will offer my opinion as to which bars have some of the most generic names, for better or for worse. Granted I can’t help but offer at least something of a review of the interior, but I’ll try to be brief. Behold: 5. Sliders Bar and Grill 504 Washington Blvd. Baltimore, MD 21230 (410)-547-8891 I don’t care if a billion people flood this place after Orioles games while in season, Sliders is just a generic name for a bar, sports bar or not. I mean, with a rich cultural and sports history in a city like Baltimore, you could probably come up with 90 more interesting names than … Read entire article »

Update – The Struggle of Little Havana

March 30th, 2009 | 1 Comment

(the comments section of the original post is worth some reading if you’re interested in this story) So I have received some feeback from Bill Henry, the councilperson (4th district) I emailed regarding this ongoing saga. Granted, he’s not on the committee that decides the fate of Egan Marine, but in my mind that actually makes for a better method of getting honest, somewhat apolitical answers out of elected officials. At any rate, here’s what Bill had to say: [...] Basically, the deep-water advocates/port-related businesses want the MIZOD as big as possible, not only to maximize possible expansion, but also to provide as much of a “buffer zone” as possible. The industrials are uncomfortable about letting Little Havana’s new location out of the MIZOD because none of them want to be right next … Read entire article »
