13th Floor
This is one of the smoothest spots in the city to get your club on: atop the Gothic Belvedere Hotel, with fresh tracks, unbeatable views and a classy elevator ride waiting when you're ready to go home. Also in the Belvedere, the Owl Bar is a nostalgic throwback to '50s Baltimore, with a long wooden bar that attracts a martini-sipping crowd.
-
Claddagh Pub
The crowds at Claddagh work hard to confirm ugly stereotypes about the Irish by trying to consume their volume in alcohol at this Disney-fied Dublin pub.
-
Club Charles
Filled with hipsters displaying the breed's usual skinny jeans/vintage T-shirt plumage, normals also flock here to enjoy good tunes and cheap drinks in one of the best decorated bars in Maryland: red, red, red, heaven and hell motif, more red. If you don't look deadly cool under the Charles' lights, sorry my friend: you are lame.
-
Club Phoenix
A more laid-back (not that laid-back, though) spot that aims to be friendly and pretension-free.
-
DSX
If you find American sport boring, you won't after getting silly and tanked with rabid Baltimore fans at this bar, which is within projectile-vomit distance of Camden Yards .
-
Fletcher's
Inhale the dried-beer scent on the walls with the pretty youngsters and rough, amiable oldsters who come here, one of the best rock stages in town.
-
Funk Box
In just a few years the Box has carved out a reputation as the hippest live-music venue in Baltimore. Admirably mixes up big names with strong local talent in a (imagine that) funky concert hall that feels intimate and expansive all at once.
-
Good Love Bar
Think dark, sexy lighting; think three floors of cushy, lounge-and-flirt furniture; think music that manages to mingle black and white clubbers like few other places in Baltimore, and you've thought up Good Love.

Grand Central
More of a complex than a club, whatever your taste, one of Central's areas (dance floor, pub, video bar, and leather-and-Levi's club) is sure to suit your fancy.
-
Hippo
This is the city's largest gay club, with ladies' and men's tea, cabaret and crazy themed dance nights.
-
Howl at the Moon
Howl stands out from the cookie-cutter clubs of Power Plant Live with its innovative theme: a call-in piano bar where the audience forces an ivory-masher/crooner to improvise the entertainment all night long.
-
Little Havana
A good after-work spot and a better place to sip mojitos (rum- and lime-base drink), Little Havana attracts the sort of young professional who just know there's a salsa goddess deep in their soul.
-
Lyric Opera House
The Baltimore Opera performs at the Lyric Opera House.
-
Max's on Broadway
Nothing says 'cute waterfront restoration' like the cobblestone streets of Fell's Point, and nothing says 'pesudo-Bacchanalian orgy' like the crowds that stumble down those streets into this bar. Max's enormous beer menu makes Belgium kinda jealous.
-
Meyerhoff Symphony Hall
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall .
-
Mick O'Shea's
Your standard paraphernalia-festooned Irish pub, with live Irish music Wednesday through Saturday. Maryland Governor (and former Baltimore mayor) Martin O'Malley used to play here.
-
Mother's
Here's a classic Baltimore neighbourhood bar and grill where the drinks flow freely; you'll be called 'Hon' more than once and the Purple Patio is the meeting spot for wing specials and pre- and post-Ravens game discussions.
-
One-Eyed Mike's
Yar! They be pirates at this seedy, drunk-as-a-sailor-on-shore-leave pub, and if ye want, they be stowing away a bottle of Grand Marnier for ye in a glass display case, which ye can drink from whenever ye return. Now walk the plank, or something.

Owl Bar
A nostalgic throwback to 50s Baltimore, the first floor Owl Bar has a long wooden bar - just like the one in The Shining - that attracts a big martini-sippin' university crowd. When you're done drinking here, check out the upstairs bar, on the 13th floor.
-
The 8x10
Baltimoreans love their nighttime hotspots with fervour that's contagious, and the cosy 8x10 is no exception. Host to touring and local alterna-rock, folk, jazz, reggae and country acts, it may be small but it's designed for maximum stage visibility. Monday night is Open Mic night so settle in for happy hour and try to be complimentary.
-
Thirsty Dog Pub
Marylanders really love drinking with their dogs. After you've made the rounds petting the canine clientele, grab a delicious brew (or two for around US$3 ) and try to snag the cozy fireside nook in the back. Excellent pizza, too.
