One of the best beer bars around town is Growler's Pub in Canton on Potomac and Fleet Streets. About 15 or more rotating drafts and a great little bar w/ good service. Then of course there is Racer's on Harford Road.

I drove past Growler's the other day and it appears to have changed names. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the new name was though.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

I heard that Growlers is now called the Baltimore Taphouse? Still a goood bar though.

Maheffey's in Canton (corner of Binney and Dillon) has one of the largest selections of beers on tap, and a nice little sheet that explains each one. Locals know the bar as Wayne's, for the oft-present owner of the same name.

Max's on Broadway and Ale Mary's have a pretty large selection of beers.
