Dominic West, who plays Det. James 'Jimmy' McNulty on The Wire, has good taste in pubs.
My roommate Jeremy ran into West last week at the Dog Pub. The place used to be called the Thirsty Dog Pub until they changed the name recently. General manager Jason Tarazon said they dropped the "Thirsty" because the name was already taken by a brewery.
“It’s a setback,” Tarazon said. “[But] people generally called it 'The Dog' anyway.”
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
