FELLS POINT. Irish memorabilia, painted paddleboards and an upside down Christmas tree accent the interior of this bar, which occupies a rowhouse by the harbor.

FELLS POINT. The name may come from a pre-fight mantra – "I can take you AND the horse you rode in on!"), but there's nothing but good times and upbeat vibes inside this popular neighborhood watering hole. During the week, "The Horse" is fairly low-key, but things heat up on the weekends, when live rock is featured and the twenty-something party crowd comes out to listen, mingle, and dance.

FELLS POINT. This bar offers the most authentic blues in Baltimore, and there is live music every night of the week. Expect a cover charge on weekends, but it's usually under $10 even when national acts are playing. The "blues pews" in front of the stage are reserved for real aficionados and there are a surprising number in Baltimore. "Bluesy" foods like gumbo and pork ribs will transport you to the Mississippi Delta.
