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.

Globe Theater
Globe Theater in Berlin is a lovingly restored main stage that serves as a restaurant, bar, art gallery and theater for nightly live music; the kitchen is known for its Asian-meets-American menu. Don't miss the spicy cream-of-crab soup.

Castlebay
An Oirish pub located downtown run by a true blue Dubliner. There should be no doubt about what you are entering into behind these doors; plenty of green white and gold, lilting music and chewy stout. A packed, popular place with a seafood menu to boot.

One-Eyed Mike's
Yar! There 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.

Reynold's Tavern
This beautifully maintained hotel restaurant and bar resides in a proud Georgian building that has seen use as a library, boarding house and hat shop. The cellar level Sly Fox Pub has a ye olde world feel and leans toward a 'reserved' clientelle.

Max's on Broadway
For beer-lovers, this Baltimore institution has one of the most extensive menus around, with 71 beers on tap and another 300 in bottles. The staff is friendly, the beer is cold, and there's pool and darts to pass the time. What more do you need?

8x10
After a brief, ill-advised name change, Baltimore's premiere live music venue since 1983 has returned to its roots. It mixes big-name acts with strong local talent in a funky concert hall that feels intimate and expansive all at once.

Seacrets
A Jamaican-themed bar and club straight out of MTV’s Spring Break, Seacrets has beach parties, spring-loaded indoor dance floors, and watery areas where you can drift in an inner tube while sipping your drink.

Mother's
Here's a classic Baltimore neighborhood 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.

Pub Dog
Marylanders really love drinking with their dogs. After you've made the rounds petting the canine clientele, grab a delicious brew (or two for $4) and try to snag the cozy fireside nook in the back. Excellent pizza, too.

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.

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 great place to sip mojitos on the waterfront deck, Little Havana attracts the sort of young professional who just knows there's a salsa goddess deep in their soul.

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.

Club Charles
Filled with hipsters displaying the breed's usual skinny jeans/vintage T-shirt plumage, normals also flock to this 1940s art-deco cocktail lounge to enjoy good tunes and cheap drinks.

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.

Middleton Tavern
One of the oldest continuously operating pubs in the country. As you'd expect from a waterside pub, the menu features some of the freshest seafood around. Live music most nights.

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 .

Grand Central
More of a complex than a club, whatever your taste, one of Central's areas (dancefloor, pub, video bar, and leather-and-Levi's club) is sure to suit your fancy.

Rams Head Tavern
The best bar in town serves good eats and tasty microbrews in an attractive oak-paneled setting, while hot live (tickets $11 to $60) acts burn up the stage.

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.

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.
