Do you want to have a fun evening with a little bit of shopping & history, some good food, good drinks, and some dancing? If so, you should head to Fell’s Point in Baltimore for an evening. My friend and I spent a fair deal of time wandering this area, and we really enjoy it for having a day of fun. Where is Fell's Point? It’s about 1 mile east of the Baltimore Inner Harbor. My recommendation is to take the water taxi from the Inner Harbor. During the summer, the water taxi runs from 10AM to 11PM. It's a 20-30 minute walk from the Inner Harbor. There are a few hotels in the East Harbor area that are adjacent to Fell’s Point. What’s the appeal? Fell's Point is Baltimore neighborhood with a large number of shops, restaurants, and pubs – good for adults, but not many kid attractions. I would recommend doing a late afternoon shopping trip & general exploration of the area. There is a visitor center on Thames St. (1726 Thames) that will give you some background history on Fell's Point. Across the street is the police station that was featured in the 1990's TV series "Homicide: Life on the Streets." There are many many shops and art galleries in Fell’s Point. I counted about 6 art galleries while wandering the area. For some unique pictures of Baltimore, check out Robert McClintock’s Gallery (1809 Thames Street). Not sure how he does his pictures for Baltimore, but many are real classical pictures of Baltimore sites. After getting a bit tired, it's time for a late-afternoon refreshment. Fell's Point has a number of pubs & coffee shops. For ice cream, try Maggie Moo’s ice creamery (821 South Broadway). For coffee, go to Cafe Latte'da (1704 Aliceanna St.) – such a cute name. For beer, go to Max's Tap House (737 South Broadway). Max's has 75 different beers on tap plus hundreds of beers in bottles. For wine, go to the Vino wine bar (905 S. Ann St.). If you love Scotch, go to Bird's of a Feather (1712 Aliceanna St.). You can sample a huge range of Scotch at Birds, and the bartender is really very knowledgeable (I’m just a rookie w/r to Scotch). I’ve tried all of these spots & was very very satisfied (albeit too the afternoon beer samples at Max’s caused me to fall asleep before 7PM). After a refreshment, it’s time to consider dinner. If you’re looking for something simple, there are a lot of pizza places if you only want a slice. One of the better pizza places is Matthew’s Pizza (3131 Eastern Ave.). Matthew’s is about 1.5 miles farther east of Fell’s Point on Eastern Avenue, but it’s worth the trip. You can get a great burger at Kooper’s (1702 Thames). Kooper’s has a good beer selection, and a good menu that features ½ pound Angus burgers (fries are OK, but you can substitute their sweet potato fries). Red Star (906 South Wolfe Street) is down from Koopers, but it also has a good selection of beers and burgers. Red Star is a bit more trendy than Koopers, generally catering to the 25-35 year olds crowd. You can get eats almost anywhere on Fell’s Point. Bertha’s Mussels is a Baltimore favorite seafood restaurant (734 S. Broadway). It also has an attached bar that features blues and rock bands (check their schedule). The Meli Patisserie & Bistro (1636 Thames) is an upscale restaurant that has a seafood and meat menu. I went there in a party of 6 and all of the dishes were excellent. Do a little web-surfing, and you can find almost anything for dinner. You can find a lot of evening entertainment around Fells Point. The Horse You Came In On Saloon (1626 Thames St.) is a college bar that usually has music. It caters to a younger crowd (under 30). The best music place is the Cat’s Eye Pub (1730 Thames St.). The Cat’s Eye has a decent beer selection. However, the Cat’s Eye has music 7 nights a week. The music tends toward Rock and Blues. The crowd at the Cat’s Eye tends toward the over 30 crowd.
