A short while ago, some B’sOAM and I were discussing some bars that we used to frequent that, for all intents and purposes, were basically interchangeable. Sort of. For instance, Friends (before it was a goddamn sushi restaurant) and Dougherty’s (223 West Chase St., Mt. Vernon) were pretty much the same place; kinda open, kinda […]

Facing legal pressure, Phusion Products releases Five Loko
Knee jerk hysteria is striking nationwide resulting in statewide banning of “Alcopops,” amidst the seemingly endless wave of college freshman who succumb to their potent alcohol content and fruity deliciousness. At the center of all of the attention is Phusion Products, creators of the acclaimed Elixir For Not Being Drunk called Four Loko. Aside from […]
Grumpies Pour House to expand into old Federal Hill Lounge space
 |
You may have missed this little gem amongst the maelstrom of usual internet yammering last week, but after some mild postponement the fine owners of Grumpies Pour House (25 East Cross St., Federal Hill), also owners of several other area bars, have received approval from the liquor board to expand their operation into the often and long-since defunct Federal Hill Lounge, which sits right next door. Grumpies has always been one of the more underrated bars in the area, in my humble opinion – with a $2 draft happy hour that runs from 6-10pm, and a crowd that never gets too crowded, you can always start a Friday evening off right there. Hopefully with a proper redesign and update, the additional space can keep them going strong for years to come. Kudos to you, Grumpie’s Pour House! (Grumpies also has a Facebook page) |

Not to be outdone by Cuppy’s Cuphouse and their Cuptober Cuppfest, This Thursday September 23rd Muggsy’s Mughouse (1236 Light St, Federal Hill) will be hosting their “Original Oktoberfest celebration.” For $20 (in advance, $25 at the door) ye shall receive a 16 oz. bottomless* take-home pint glass and access to a buffet full of delicious German eats. Apparently the thing is sponsored by Warsteiner, one of my fave beers, so it should be pretty good stuff. In other news, Muggsy Bogues. |

Baltimore Beer Week 2010 (aka BBW 2010)
The cooler days of Fall are approaching (thank God) and it can mean one of several things for you personally, be it impending yardwork, giving birth to a child, whatever floats your boat. But certainly, one thing it should definitely mean for you personally is your participation in the 2nd Annual Baltimore Beer Week, put […]
The Baltimore Area Cheapest Beers Map!
It’s well documented that people enjoy beer. And while the snottiest beer nerd will wince at the thought of drinking some sort of mass produced domestic on the cheap, the rest of us want it cold, quickly, and most importantly: cheap.
Which is why starting now, the Baltimore Area Cheapest Beers Map is live! […]
