This week's Fab Five Friday topic is the five best places to see rock bands in Baltimore.
Now, DIY venues like the Bank and Floristree Space don't count because they don't have their permits straight. We're talking bars and clubs around town.
So what are your suggestions? I'll give you mine on Friday.

Sam,
Can you give us an entry on the new Aloha Tokyo bar on Fort Ave?
Thanks,

I think the 8x10 is the best venue for live music in the city. They have the best sound system, nicest employees, heavy handed bartender, a spring-loaded dance floor, and Resurrection on tap!

You can't beat the Ottobar.
Municiple Waste is playing next tuesday. Get ready for the beer bongs and circle pits.

The Hamilton Arts Collective (now legally doing shows) is rad. Intimate, BYOB, and full of couches, so you're more inclined to stay through all the bands.
The Ottobar, of course.
The Talking Head.
Sonar if there are people to absorb the sound - otherwise it bounces off the walls.
Mum's in South Baltimore: crowded, smoky, cheap beer, and surprisingly good sound.
