January 19 - January 21


#67 - Hollywood's Burger Bistro
After some deliberation we went to this ever-changing spot just off Boston Street. It's formerly Red Fish, formerly Mon-51, and briefly was a Moroccan themed joint. The food was very good, the beer selection pretty average, and the bar mirror was interesting. The sign outside promised Bingo, but we either didn't stick around, or it wasn't happening. Located in Canton - Wednesday.


#68 - Lager's Pub
A neighborhood Canton spot, off the square. I've been here a bit, first for a Raven's playoff game when it was packed, and then a couple of other nights when it was less so. It was pretty much dead on a Wednesday night. Decent beer selection and it has Galliano. Located on Fait Ave - Wednesday.


#69 - Frazier's on the Avenue
Fraziers is Hampden's hipster dive and home of the occasional home to a Cowboy Ugly gig. We went to watch the hockey game (Caps won) and have some PBRs. Stayed in the front room, while we usually go the larger back room. Staff member played an interesting playlist on the juke box. Located on the Avenue - Thursday.



#70 - Holy Frijoles
Holy Frijoles is Hampden's hipster Mexican joint. Located directly across the street from Frazier's. It seemed like a strange night and most of the crowd shuffled out after we arrived. We told the woman at the bar she should put in a TV (we were debating if we could watch the hockey game there) and she told us to go over to Frazier's (where we had just been). We decided we had bothered her enough and went to the next stop after a quick drink. Located on the Avenue - Thursday.



#71 - Golden West Cafe
A combination breakfast place and bar. I had been here previously to eat, and maybe once to drink. We ordered a pitcher of Weyerbacher (they gave us the special, even though it was after 10). Nice tattoo flash artwork on the walls of the bar and crazy crap on the walls in the dining room. I didn't order a piece of cake, although I really, really wanted to. Located on the Avenue - Thursday.

#72 - 1919
Don't blink or you will miss 1919. A corner bar on the corner of an alley, the place was so intriguing I concocted the 100 bars in 100 days (101 bars in 101 days will be the end result, I hope) to give me an excuse to go here. Not very crowded and the folks seemed a bit standoffish at first, but at the core a typical Baltimore place. Got into a random home brew conversation with one guy and talked beards and haircuts with the guy behind the bar. This was after a stop at Murphy's (#1), The Blarney Stone (#2) and right before going to Ale Mary's (#7) for tots. Located on Fleet Street near Fells - Friday.
