Claddagh Pub may open county branch
The owners of Claddagh Pub are considering expanding into Baltimore County, but no definite plans have been made.
"It's in negotiations," said owner Vivian Clarke. "We're looking into it. We're not sure what or where."
Looney's Pub, Sean Bolan's and MaGerk's are all doing well in Bel Air.
I think a Claddagh Pub in Baltimore County would be a great business move.

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.

Sam, depends on where they go. Look at what happened when Ropewalk went to Bel Air.

Drew, I don't know the whole story behind why Ropewalk sold their Bel Air branch. Do you? My buddy thought they were just trying to get a business going and flip it.

They were losing money in Bel Air, that's why Ropewalk closed there.
