Top choice in Baltimore
A Fells Point icon, this vintage dining and drinking hall serves some of Baltimore's best seafood. Dine in the polished upstairs dining room with waterfront views, take a seat in the backyard, or plunk down at the bar in front (which stays open till midnight) and watch the drink-makers and oyster-shuckers in action. The lobster rolls are recommended too.
Raw bar open until 10:30pm Sunday to Thursday, until 11:30pm Friday and Saturday.
