Didn't have quite enough in the Beer Garden during Spring Fair? If you're desperately in need of intoxicating yourself in between your studying and paper-writing, and you're sick of the dingy underground setting in PJ's, here are some suggestions for you:
Capital City Brewing Company
Located in the heart of Inner Harbor, Capital City Brewing Company is the perfect place to grab a drink after a baseball game or to enjoy the harbor view while taking a break from work. Opened in 1992 as the D.C.'s first brew pub since Prohibition, this one at the Harbor is one of the five brewpub chains in the Baltimore-Washington area. Nice and solid place for the Kolsch and Fuel in particular.
The Brewer's Art
If you're looking for a classy place instead of the typical dungeon packed with drunkards, the Brewer's Art is definitely your best bet. Not only does its d8ecor show an exquisite European taste, its choice of beer is also of fine quality, particularly its Belgian Strong ale, Ozzy. Its menu changes with the season. There are only nine main-course items, but they'll never disappoint you.
The Wharf Rat Tavern
Found just across the Convention Center extension close to Camden Yards, the Wharf Rat Tavern is the place for English-style beer fans. With its brick walls and large stone fireplace, you'll find yourself in the real tavern style. Every Friday, The Tavern holds "Firkin Friday" when a firkin of a cask-conditioned ale is opened and served until gone. Its seasonal beers are always of high quality.
Cat's Eye Pub
With a great atmosphere and bands performing every week, this Irish pub has a huge selection of beer on its menu that will suit all tastes. Jazz and blue are the themes at Cat's Eye Pub under its nightly music programming. If you're on a tight budget, you can still have your share of beer. This popular hangout in Fells Point is a place for all.
