« Vice to replace Fletchers Bar | Main | Al's enemies »
Since people are putting together their holiday wish lists, I thought it would be nice to have one for Midnight Sun too.
So this week's Fab Five Friday topic is five things you wish for in Baltimore's nightlife scene.
More cigar bars?
More tequila bars?
More places to go dancing?
I'll give you mine in a couple days.
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.

Two things on my wish list:
1) more wine bars
2) more middle of the road restaurants; places like the old Vespa, the old Sly Fox (I hate the new Redskins bar version), Cosmopolitan in Canton, Metropolitan in Fed Hill - a step or 2 up from bar food, neighborhood vibe, but not too fancy.
And honorable mention: no smoking in bars, but that wish comes true in a few short weeks!

AC, nice list. Sly Fox was always a Redskins pub, though.

1.) Better parking options in Federal Hill
2.) Better open air restaurant/bar options
3.) Free buffets
4.) Less pretentiousness on Charles Street
5.) Places that play classic rock, 1960s rock, etc. Lacking that, more unfettered access to juke boxes so I don't have to hear Soulja Boy.

Bars/Clubs with legitimate DJs, not just DJs who spin the top 40. Most of the DJs in the area just cater to the lowest common denominator, are amateur at best, and rarely show creativity.
I don't want to hear DJs playing the same stale crap everyone hears on the radio every day.

Dance clubs that are for people who older than the college crowd!
