Tuesday November 30 through Thursday 2

Back to Baltimore, hon


#28 - Field House
The foster was adopted Tuesday night, so I though i'd head out to celebrate. Since I was away for Thanksgiving I called Jon and he met me in Canton. Field House in the Can Company shopping center in the former Ray Lewis #52 Full Moon Barbecue place. Had a Dogfish and some wings and then headed over to the next spot. Boston Street - Tuesday.


#29 - Mahaffey's Pub
Just across Lakewood from the Safeway Mahaffey's is one of the true great beer bars in Baltimore. We found it one weekend when I was thirsty for a Chimay and it stocks the 5 authentic Belgian Trappist beers available in this country. They rotate their 15 taps, so there is always something new to try. They also do the 100 beers club, but we decided not to start that during this tour. Located on Dillon Street - Tuesday.


#30 - Looney's
A pretty typical Canton bro bar--part sports bar, part meat market, with an 'Irish' theme. We stopped in for a requisite Natty Boh and that was it. Jon managed to scam a Capitals cup for free, which made his night. Located on the square in Canton - Tuesday.


#31 - Bartender's
One of the regular stops on Wednesday night post run club. Sponsored a team in the Ausball league (coed social Australian Rules Football) for several years, and the post-match destination for some Coopers. Great food and some interesting beers (one of the first locations to have the Newcastle 'Summer Brew.' Had a North Coast Stout (which was excellent) and found out that it meant north coast of California, not the Cleveland area. I guess I was thinking about greyhound adoption. Location on Boston Street - Wednesday.


#32 - The Ottobar
One of the main music clubs in Baltimore, the Ottobar has been a regular destination for me for almost a decade. It moved from it's original location in the alley downtown near the Sidebar to a spot north of North Ave. H2O and wisdom in chains played and I had the requisite Boh. Random note, my band has played the Ottobar twice--once opening for Paul Bearer (of Sheer Terror) and his band Joe Coffee. Located on Howard Street - Thursday.
