Pix of the departed
The end of the year is coming fast, and I found myself reflecting on some of the bars we've lost this year.
Fells Point has seen more bars close than most other neighborhoods.
R.I.P.
Lulu's Off Broadway
After four years on Aliceanna Street, Lulu's closed this past weekend.
It will be sorely missed by neighborhood locals and tourists looking for the real Baltimore drinking
experience. ...
The Admiral's Cup
This bar on the corner of South Broadway and Thames Street could get really rowdy on Friday and Saturday nights.
It was not the cleanest of watering holes, but the outside seating was a great place to sit and people watch.
Fells Point Station
I never went inside the station, which sat at 600 S. Broadway, but it always advertised some decent crab specials.
Looked kind of dumpy, though.
It was usually empty, too.
So I wasn't surprised when it closed.
Slammers
This chameleon-like corner bar went through four coats of paint in its year-long lifespan.

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.

And yet BAR refuses t leave! Go Carol.
She'll outlive them ALL!
