Finnegan’s Wake / Dark Horse Tavern: First Impressions

Finnegan’s Wake / Dark Horse Tavern: First Impressions

And so it has come to pass that the Ropewalk dynasty has inhabited the long, long, long standing massiveness that is Canton’s 2324 Boston St., a property with a rich and luxurious history of failure. Its last iteration, Canton Arts and Entertainment, was open for less than six months due to what could only be described as “A complete and utter lack of focus, management, appeal or redeeming qualities.” (quote by me). This time around, … Read entire article »

The Favorite Old Baltimore Establishment Post

EDIT: I wanna hear your Old Baltimore Establishment stories! Let everyone know about the good ol’ days, anything crazy or interesting. Email me at evan@citythatbreeds.com What with all this Bill’s Lighthouse Inn business lately, I’ve been trying to keep a mental stock of bars that are left in Baltimore that truly have that special Old Baltimore Establishment quality: The wood panels, the trough urinals, the exceeding amount of mirrors and the presence of buckets of MGD that aren’t there for kitsch factor.

Drinking Made Easy coming to Baltimore and Natty Boh on Tap!

Rumors had been flying about recently as to whether or not Zane Lamprey’s (awesome name btw) show Drinking Made Easy, a show dedicated to regional drink specialties and traditions, was coming to Baltimore to shoot an episode for season 2. The rumors were confirmed last week, when DME ran an article on The Land of Pleasant Living, showcasing Baltimore’s de facto beer for locals, Natty Boh (I had caught wind of the rumors via Facebook, then saw the confirmation right up in this). Zane is inviting people to email him directly with suggestions for local drinks and traditions (zanelamprey@gmail.com) for the show, so if you’d like to see your favorites when they shoot in April and eventually air, I’d say go right ahead and do that. Fingers crossed that Idle Hour’s … Read entire article »
