Don't know about Clayton's but Lulus in Fells Point abruptly closed its doors Friday night. Another great bar down the tube...

This wouldn't be a huge loss for the Hill. The management there was very hot and cold. One minute they are great and the other...well I stopped going there.
Great atmosphere if you are looking to catch up with friends, but it it were to reopen, and I hope it does, let's pray for new management. Thay are certainly the ones keeping my circle of friends from returning.

Hmm...the bar used to have a huge following when it was Sean Bolan's. It was a good beer bar. I don't think Clayton's had the same effect.

That's a shame about Clayton's. I personally think that Matt was a great owner to deal with for private parties and general bar happenings. Plus, their food was pretty good, between the rock fish and the guiness pint meal you couldn't really go wrong.
