Baltimore Nightlife

Baltimore’s nightlife is as diverse as any comparable US city, with a good mix of Irish bars, neighbourhood brewpubs, boot-stomping live-music venues and lively clubs. For the most accessible tourist options, Inner Harbor, Little Italy, Fells Point, Canton, Federal Hill and Mount Vernon are the areas to head for.

Dress code and admission are specific to the venue but photo ID is necessary, as the minimum drinking age is 21 years. Most bars and nightclubs are open 1100 to 0200.

Publications providing nightlife listings and information include the daily Baltimore Sun (www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment), the Baltimore City Paper (www.citypaper.com) and Baltimore Magazine (www.baltimoremagazine.net/events).
