I really like the new sign owner James Quigley chose for his pub on Portland Street in Ridgely's Delight.
It's old school -- made of wrought metal and doesn't light up at night.
But I really like the crest.
And it's good to see him take down a lot of the temporary beer logo signs he was using to advertise ...

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.

Have you been there yet? If so, how is it?
The last time I went by there, I think it was summer and it wasn't open yet. But it looked cute inside.

AEB,
Yes, I've been there a couple times. My girlfriend used to live nearby, actually.
I like Quigley's. Jim pretty much revamped the place by himself, using scrap wood, bricks and metal from defunct Baltimore bars, restaurants and theaters. The beers are pretty cheap, too.
And, there is Ms. Pacman.

Where is the crest from? How about a little investigative reporting! Great job. I thought the Sun was a "NEWSpaper!!!"

I can never get a person to answer the phone there. I call 410-539-9052 & all I get is an automated voice saying the telephone number & to leave a message. No one ever calls me back.
