Best Bars in South Baltimore
Looking to booze up your day? After over a year of bar-hopping (seriously, this took an INSANE amount of time to do), I introduce to you the ultimate bar guide to South Baltimore.
I’ve considered how each establishment fares according to its atmosphere, drink selection, service quality, and overall experience. For good measure, I requested an old fashioned from each of the bars and noted the availability, taste, and price.
Bar legend:
- Bar: Primarily alcohol
- Pub: Sells food and alcohol
- Tavern: Liquor store/bar hybrid
Note that my opinion is highly subjective and many variables are at play, such as the bartender serving me or other patrons in attendance. I recommend checking out the bars on your own time and letting me know your thoughts in the comment section!
Don’t Know Tavern
| Bar Type: | Sports Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Good, noob bartender (7/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Trivia on Wednesday |
Don’t Know Tavern! I could tell the bartender was a bit green behind the ears, but they still managed to mix a pretty spot-on old-fashioned, even if it packed a bit more punch than I prefer. I found the prices to be fair, quite in line with other similar bars. The decor of the place caught my eye – a great mix of detail and design. The seating was cleverly arranged throughout, offering cozy corners for folks to gather for a chat or a bit of friendly competition. And let me tell you, things really liven up on Trivia Wednesdays – it’s like the place gets a jolt of youthful energy! Even though the service was a bit underwhelming that particular night, I can totally see this spot becoming a go-to for post-work unwinding. The potential is definitely there.
AJ’s on Hanover
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Fantastic, notes of sweet orange (9.5/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Modern interior, nice bartenders |
AJ’s on Hanover has easily earned a top spot among my local favorites. What stood out right off the bat were the friendly and attentive bartenders, creating a welcoming vibe that really stuck with me. Their food and drink offerings, especially their old-fashioned cocktails, blew Sobo Market clean out of the water – I mean, they get an outstanding 9.5/10 from me! The place itself has a modern feel but it’s also impeccably neat and tidy, setting a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere from the moment you step in until you leave. What else could one ask for, really?
Rowan Tree
| Bar Type: | LGBT+ Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $ |
| Old Fashioned: | Good, smaller size (9/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Weekend karaoke! |
Next up, Rowan Tree. The bartender was an absolute delight, giving us some top-notch cocktail suggestions. Although the vibe wasn’t distinctly LGBT+ to my eye, word around town is that this pub has a strong reputation for being incredibly queer-friendly, which adds to its welcoming charm! The layout was thoughtfully designed with a pool table tucked away in the back room, and the spacious interior cleverly divided into two sections, with conveniently located restrooms in between—making the facilities easy to access. When it comes to Old Fashioneds, they’re quite enjoyable but a bit on the small side.
SoBo Market
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $ |
| Old Fashioned: | Excellent (9/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Hole-in-the-wall |
SoBo Market is a bar cafe hybrid with an incredibly cool atmosphere. The bartender was engaging and friendly, making the whole experience feel very welcoming. One thing that stood out was their Old Fashioned cocktail – it was a joy to sip on. Prepared in just two to three minutes, the perfectly blended flavors of syrup, whiskey, and crushed fruit were spot on.
Riverside Taphouse
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Meh, too strong (5/10) |
| Noteworthy: | I’m drunk |
Riverside Taphouse leans more towards a food-focused venue than a specialist cocktail bar, with their Old Fashioneds being a bit too heavy on the whiskey side for my liking. The cocktail, comprising of two parts whiskey to one part simple syrup, came off as stronger and less balanced than the traditional recipe that most of us are accustomed to. But here’s the silver lining – if it’s good food you’re after, this place won’t let you down!
The Wurst Bar
| Bar Type: | Speakeasy Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$$ |
| Old Fashioned: | It’s the best (10/10) |
| Noteworthy: | It’s the best bar |
The Wurst is a top-notch speakeasy. The Old Fashioneds here are downright excellent, and will be hard to replicate even if you tried elsewhere; they’re as good bar within reach of the area hands down! As far as vibe goes, it’s an authentic 1920s experience that transports customers straight back into the prohibition era—specifically so when considering its concealed location in another bar called Crossbar which itself has a front door disguised like a refrigerator entrance. Dimly lit with jazz playing lightly on the background and peaceful atmosphere all around makes this spot impossble to forget.
The Rowhouse
NOTE: OUT OF BUSINESS
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Okay, strong (4/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Super cozy; log cabin vibes |
Although by this time my judgement was impaired, I have to give credit where it’s due: the bartenders here were friendly and welcoming compared with any of the other places I had visited that day. However, their Old Fashioned wasn’t particularly noteworthy; its flavor profile could be aptly described as ‘strong’ rather than crafted in a mixologist fashion — probably not what you’d think of hitting up an artisan bar for! Nevertheless, there is something cozy about this spot – like so many others along these kinds of lunchy-cobblestoned streets — complete with warm interiors making it inviting after hours or when simply craving some late night grub and refreshments starting off your evening right.
Mother’s
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Yikes (1/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Seedy as heck. |
My next stop on the bar crawl was Mothers. Here, I had a poor experience — not only did my Old Fashioned taste terrible due to it being composed primarily of rail whiskey (1/10) but even seemingly small components like cherries were fake – no wonder Mom wouldn’t be very proud after this one! Beyond drinks and service in general, the vibe at Mother’s is definitely seedy; if you’re looking for more of an edgy night out drinking with millennials until your face goes numb style then perhaps that could work here. Although S. Charles St has a few other bars dotting its sidewalks which would offer better experiences overall given their variety-filled menu options – there still seems to be quite some charm within Mothers as they do have a full front and back section plus various drink games such as ping pong making staying entertained must easier than ever before!
101
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Not bad, tastes like syrup (4/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Live music (sometimes) |
I was surprised at the overall chill vibe present at 101. Although their Old Fashioned didn’t pack much of a punch with taste, it wasn’t bad; however, I felt as if this drink tasted more like syrup rather than whiskey. Despite that factor, they are known to be quite friendly compared to those near South Charles Street. Also, live music is often playing inside so don’t forget your dancing shoes! All-in-all, businesses like these make for great nights out when you’re looking for something fun yet relaxed simultaneously – definitely worth checking out if you haven’t been already!.
Watershed
| Bar Type: | Upscale Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Not great (3/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Rooftop patio |
After, I visited Watershed. This place was huge and had two levels that reflected the luxury of its vibe–the top level boasted tiki torches framing the bar nicely while the bottom level resembled a fancy restaurant with a central bar portioned alongside it.. It’s definitely one of the most expensive bars in South Baltimore as mixed drinks cost up to $20. The Old Fashioneds weren’t particularly great (3/10) so consider more beer or wine when you visit this spot if an Old Fashion is what really tickles your fancy. However, with all my reservations about these prices before even trying their food have kept me away from actually eating there – which would be quite exciting considering how classy every other part seems!
Idle Hour
| Bar Type: | Alternative Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Meh, too strong (3/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Red lighting… possibly a cult |
Idle Hour was a truly unique and intriguing experience in terms of atmosphere. The bar was cloaked with an eerie, red glow giving off quite cult-like vibes that involve you feeling both enthralled yet conflicted on its character. Alas this is not what really stood out for me – rather it was their Old Fashioned which unfortunately lacked far behind expectations as I found it too strong (consisting almost entirely whiskey) without much flavor nuance or balance making drinkability limited at best/ Though they did serve adequate drinks overall, my encounter with the bartender wasn’t very satisfying as she seemed preoccupied and uninterested in conversation so do bear that consideration if looking simply wanting pleasantries during visits there.
The Brewers Cask
| Bar Type: | Brewery Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Straight whiskey (2/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Friendly, but average |
Also LGBT in general, but also have comedy nights/open mic on Tuesday’s at 8:00 PM. Be wary if you’re looking for drinks aside from whiskey as your options here will be few so grab yourself an appropriate drink instead when paying them a visit.
Magerks Pub & Grill
| Bar Type: | Irish Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Not bad, no bitters (8/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Monday trivia |
I visited Magerks Pub & Grill on a Wednesday. Wed-nes-day. It is indeed an Irish bar with green being the primary colors and its large area makes it far more homely than other newer pubs on South Charles Street. They have Monday night Trivia which adds a great entertaining aspect to their offers of food as well as alcoholic drinks – even if there was only so much variety due to them having lower selection of alcohol. As for Old Fashioneds in particular, they weren’t served with bitters but my bartender still put enough effort into crafting me one that turned out better than expected (9/10). Conversation-wise too she did exceedingly well; talking about interesting topics suchand making sure everyone were having a good time overall!
Cross Street Public House
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Okay, not sweet (8/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Unassuming hangout |
Next, I went to Cross Street Public House. The atmosphere was casual throughout and beverages were served in plastic containers instead of glasses, which might be a bit of an unpleasant surprise for those who are used to more quality service elsewhere—this is fairly misguided considering its positioning next door from Nola where better ambiance with similar drinks prices could possibly be found instead, the overall vibe still remains friendly and hospitable at Cross Street making it adequate evening hangout spot if nightlife isn’t top priority on your list here.
The Charles
| Bar Type: | Nightclub Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Decent, simple (7/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Bouncers appear to take bribes |
Next, I visited The Charles. This particular nightclub had by far the most upscale vibe of any on South Charles Street as it was recently re-branded and really shines in its interior decorations; from two different floors to walls painted with Bulleit Whiskey, it truly lets itself stand out! With competent bartenders at hand providing a decent Old Fashioned cocktail – albeit served 7/10 in your typical plastic cup for safekeeping purposes one would find themselves quite content here! That being said, this should be considered given how many other bars line up along S.Charles St so make sure you weigh all options before deciding where to go next time around.
Hair of the Dog
| Bar Type: | Sports Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Very good, bitters, a bit strong (8/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Friendly, drunk bartenders |
My next stop was Hair of the Dog. This bar is known for its creative design and there’s a custom-made table filled with baseball cards literally molded into it – definitely an exciting visual piece when you walk in! The bartenders are drink-happy, often pouring shots depending on their sobriety level, which adds to the fun atmosphere here. The Old Fashioneds are a bit strong, but still very good. So if you’re looking for some sports-themed vibes and random shenanigans, I highly suggest checking out this place!
NoLa
| Bar Type: | Seafood Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Sweet and smooth (8/10) |
| Remarks: | Upscale… kinda |
My next stop was NoLa. The bar is an upscale place for good seafood and a nice atmosphere. I didn’t end up trying any of the food but if you or anyone else has experience with it please do let me know in the comments! I thought that their Old Fashioneds were nicely sweet while still smooth at 8/10 ranking – though they did come with Maraschino cherries, so bears mentioning according to personal preference there! If you’re looking for amazing drink options combined with an interesting take on classic eats, then check out NoLa (but expect comparatively high prices compared other bars nearby).
Barfly’s
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Too strong, bitter (7/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Epic whiskey selection |
My next stop was Barfly’s. If you’re into whiskey, then this place is it! Boasting an incredible selection of different types to choose from – more than I’ve ever seen on a shelf before – plus their signature warm and welcoming atmosphere make for the perfect combination; bringing back that old-school grandfatherly kind of vibe no matter your preference in drink. Unfortunately, when trying out my usual Old Fashioned there it seemed overly strong and slightly bitter tasting. Unfortunately, I had to knock points off due to its intensity (7/10). The general leisure here makes up for what might be lacking with drinks however making me believe it still prioritizes optimum amounts enjoyment throughout your entire visit at Barfly’s above all else.
Captain Larry’s
| Bar Type: | Seafood Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Used Jack Daniel’s (6/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Older-generation folks; got called “sunny boy” lol |
The next stop on my tour was Captain Larry’s. When I first walked in, it had an air of old-timey fun and felt the regulars there have likely been coming for a long time as the audience certainly leaned older.
The bar itself is small yet packs quite enough people that you could tell anyone who visits here merely comes for drinking (though seafood also served). To sum up this place, if you’re looking for atmosphere saturated with memories from times past then try out Capture Larry’s; just don’t expect much more than great conversations about “all those damn millennials.”
Outpost American Tavern
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Very good, pure (9/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Exceptionally cozy |
The Outpost American Tavern was a quaint take on the traditional bar atmosphere. It possessed more of a restaurant-bar hybrid feel, with craft drinks and eats available for purchase alongside their expertly crafted Old Fashioneds that were made pure to perfection while being aesthetically pleasing due to its mermaid garnish – which I could not resist taking home! The vibe of this place is an ode to classic bars since it still keeps up many traditions like having seating around walls when possible; yet maintaining modern decor throughout. They knocked these off perfectly in terms of quality, so if you’re looking for something satiating after a long day or just want some downtime in a warm atmosphere.
Rosas Bar and Grill
| Bar Type: | Tequila Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Very good, pure (4/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Local crowd |
I recently visited Rosas Bar and Grill and let’s just say it was a real snooze fest. The atmosphere was so local, it felt like I was crashing my grandma’s living room – minus the grandma and any actual living. I ordered an Old-Fashioned and was served with ONE TINY ice cube, making it a hot mess. It was warm and syrupy, like cough syrup. The bar itself was fairly vibrant, and it seemed like the same people were always there. Not a bad thing.
Harry’s
| Bar Type: | Classic Tavern |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | WOAH, what a bourbon (5/10) |
| Noteworthy: | You can buy liquor by the glass AND the bottle at this owner-run shop |
On my jaunt, I stopped at Harry’s. This establishment is actually a liquor store owned and run by the proprietor—making it one of the more unique bars on this list! It attempts to establish an upscale feel with its bartender engaging in conversation with patrons, which was interesting apart from other establishments visited thus far. The Old Fashioned they serve is heavy-handed because there’s almost 3/4 bourbon involved, so just bear that thought if you’re hoping for something lighter or sweeter than what might usually be served due to its potency. Lastly, as we can probably expect from a bar such as this; couples seem quite entertained here.
Wiley Gunters
| Bar Type: | Sports Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Spicy, not sweet (7/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Well-designed interior |
I had the pleasure of visiting Wiley Gunters. I was quickly served a good quality Old Fashioned that wasn’t too sweet, but rather spicy with an ample kick to it – for which there is probably some combination involved worth asking about! This place proudly sports its sporting atmosphere, so if you are looking for such food and vibes, this spot has got your name all over it. The design inside doesn’t boot what’s already going on here either; clearly visible meticulous attention went into crafting certain elements present in the interior like furniture choices bringing out that classic pub flair while only contributing further towards making this joint even more lively than ever before!
Shotti’s
| Bar Type: | Traditional Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Yuck (3/10) |
| Noteworthy: | None |
My trip to Shotti’s was….unmemorable. The Old Fashioned I had implies that they are not the bar’s strong suit; I found it completely unappealing (3/10). The atmosphere can best be described as a basic hole in the wall – nothing particularly stands out about it at all, unfortunately. As far as cuisine goes, they had good food offerings but other than that, there really wasn’t much else special experience-wise within this joint that didn’t stick with me or make an impression overall — no vibes could even be caught here!
1157 Bar & Kitchen
| Bar Type: | Traditional Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Light, bitters, not too sweet (8/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Intimate and cozy |
I recently visited the 1157 Bar & Kitchen and had a really great experience. Their bartenders were some of the nicest I’ve ever encountered, very attentive to guests needs during my visit there. With that in mind, their Old Fashioneds are incredibly light yet not too sweet, which adds even more balance for those who aren’t bad with overly-flavored drinks (8/10 rating). The vibe overall is one that’s intensely intimate both due its comparatively small size along with wonderful decorations inside, making this an enjoyable atmosphere all around! Undoubtedly within South Baltimore area lies many other bars but given full consideration – 1157 may be my favorite bar in Locust Point.
City Limits
| Bar Type: | Sports Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Cough syrup (5/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Spacious interior |
My friends and I decided to try City Limits during our visit. It was quite similar in decor to Watershed but located closer to Locust Point, which meant the crowd primarily consisted of sports fans, making it a fun atmosphere although unsuitable for those looking for something more intimate. Serving up typical bar drinks as well as an Old fashioned, we noted, however that this one tasted less like whiskey and more akin to iced cough syrup; hence my rating would be 5/10 at best.
Hull Street Blues Cafe
| Bar Type: | Blues Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Simple, nothing special (7/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Older-generation patrons |
The Hull Street Blues Cafe is not your ordinary bar. Despite having a simplistic setup with little to make it stand out, the atmosphere here is warm and friendly – as if you were in someone’s home rather than some roadside joint. Its relative coziness allows for conversations amongst patrons resulting in an inviting ambiance despite its size restrictions. As expected from this kind of establishment their main vibes are blues music playing throughout, but occasional other genres appear on rotation too! The Old Fashioned was nothing special, yet general drinks such as beer or wine more than hit the spots making up for what they lack.
Southside Saloon
| Bar Type: | Dive Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Definitely a saloon |
My visit to the Southside Saloon proved me wrong about it, as I went in with low expectations but soon learned that the place actually offers incredibly cheap rail shots, a plus for those who are looking for an affordable night out. They also have a pool table and welcomed my request for several whiskey shots when an old fashioned could not be made. The crowd is varied but leans older, like many dive bars. Apparently, “longshoremen are known ‘to be made of nails” (the guy next to me was wasted, but I promised to add his commentary to the article).
Wayward
| Bar Type: | Country Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Thursday “flip night” |
I visited Wayward and had an interesting experience. It was very loud as the bar is packed, making communication difficult when trying to place orders — so much that I found myself unable to order my Old Fashioned, which wasn’t even being served here! With two sections containing one bulky strip for a full bar on the right side of things and another tucked away in the back corner with additional seating space allows them plenty of room for people who wish purely just grab shots or basic cocktails. Thursday nights are their wildest night over there, if you get lucky enough during “Flip Night” where patrons can win themselves free drinks by flipping coins correctly – it’s guaranteed going be lots of fun.
Muir’s Tavern
| Bar Type: | Dive Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Almost exclusively boomers |
I checked out Muir’s Tavern last weekend and found it to be a unique experience. The vibe there was very vintage, with an almost exclusively over 60-year-old crowd in attendance. It seemed pretty clear that they don’t make ‘em like this anymore – pun intended! While the bar wasn’t stocked with as much of their usual selection due mostly to liquor selections being more abundant than anything else; what stood out most though is how quick and affordable shots were here compared to other places I’ve been before. All in all, my group had quite pleasant conversations full of laughter throughout our stay at Muir’s which certainly left me feeling nostalgic for bars from days gone by on the old west coast townships
Crossbar Der Biergarten
| Bar Type: | Brewery Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | German-inspired food and drink |
Crossbar Der Biergarten is one of the most unique spots in all of South Baltimore, with a large and open bar that even has an actual tree growing inside it. It serves proud German menu options from bratwurst to Wiener schnitzel while also offering beer lovers exactly what they’re looking for – whether its half-pints or full pints!
The bartenders however seemed slightly uninterested which may leave your experience dampened at times but overall this place offers great drinks no doubt considering their vast selection if you’re into beers any capacity. Unfortunately, I could not personally rate how good their Old Fashioneds are due to them specializing in craft brews rather than classic cocktails.
Pub Dog
| Bar Type: | Sports Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Pizza until 2:00 AM every day |
Afterwards, I stumbled into Pub Dog. A three level row house bar that was bustling with sports loving patrons. From the moment you step foot inside it’s evident the staff is incredibly friendly which makes all those locals and visitorsfeel welcome. They specialize in serving pizza until 2:00AM though – pretty unique for this type of space – adding even more personality to their already charming decorum! Super social and attentive bartenders.
Delia Foley’s
| Bar Type: | Irish Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Monday trivia |
Delia Foley’s is an Irish bar that aims to capture the essence of Ireland in its atmosphere. While no Old Fashioned was available due to a lack of bitters, there are plenty other drink options with an above-average price point plus food from what I could tell when visiting. Mondays seemed quite packed given how well Delia Foley’s has been running for some time given by their more established interior and green painted exterior walls – perhaps as part trivia night? In any case this spot projects unmistakable authenticity rooted in Celtic culture which makes it worth checking out!
Mum’s
| Bar Type: | Alternative Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Christmas lighting… definitely a cult |
My next visit was to Mums. There’s a unique energy and vibe here that can’t be completely expressed in words, but trust me when I say it draws an eclectic crowd with the intent of either being “in” or out”. It has quite the underground feel where you could almost swear it’s located at someone’s lower basement level. Although it is a modest bar, there is an enticing pool table near the back. No Old Fashioneds here, but they do have some unique cocktail options, such as beer served alongside shots (one named a “Evil Shot”), as well as the ability to take single orders! The atmosphere is creepy as hell, but I liked it.
One Star Country Club
| Bar Type: | Country Bar |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | It’s name is accurate |
I recently visited One Star Country Club, and it certainly lived up to its position as a Southern-style anti-sober bar. Just the name alone conveys what kind of experience one can expect here. Vibe wise, this place gave off an old cowboy rodeo flavor that would make Clint Eastwood relocate.
Nobles
| Bar Type: | Sports Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | None |
My next stop was Nobles. As soon as I asked for an Old Fashioned, the bar staff informed me this is a college bar and they do not make them — leaving little to be desired in terms of that type of drink at least! This place seemed popular with students judging by its crowd but otherwise it’s quite clichéd one might say – so don’t really expect anything special or unique about the destination other than being well-frequented among student types. All things said however if you’re looking simply for no frills fun with your friends between study sessions then perhaps give this spot a visit?
Ropewalk
| Bar Type: | Game Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Games galore |
My next experience was the Ropewalk bar. They couldn’t make an Old Fashioned here but that didn’t take away from its coolness! The interior is quite distinct with various types of board/card games being available for people who drop in – it’s especially enjoyable when there are more than two participants involved, so if you’re feeling enthusiastic about joining something be sure check out all their different entertainment options/games. In addition to this fun corner of activities the bartender was highly welcoming yet I wasn’t confident in whether his suggestions on drinks came while he was sober— probably best leaving that part alone anyways; however customers around seemed very content.
Banditos
| Bar Type: | Tequila Pub |
|---|---|
| Drink Price: | $$ |
| Old Fashioned: | Couldn’t make it (0/10) |
| Noteworthy: | Rather macabre |
I recently visited Banditos, located conveniently in the midst of South Charles’ nightlife scene. I had asked for an Old Fashioned and was informed they didn’t serve them — which wasn’t so surprising considering their bar is known primarily as a tequila joint. The bartenders were friendly enough to suggest alternatives drinks while still sticking true to its “Tequila Bar” mantra! While this might not be ideal if you’re seeking specially-crafted cocktails other than those made with tequila, it’s perfect spot for someone looking purchase some good quality margaritas or favorite brands such as Patron & Jose Cuervo.
