New wine cabinets
In the next couple months, Patrick Russell, who runs Kooper's Tavern, Woody's Rum Bar and Slainte (pictured), is overseeing the installation of temperature-controlled wine cabinets in all three Fells Point bars.
Russell is applying for a package goods license for Slainte, which would allow him to sell high-end wines.
He's also thinking about making Slainte's second floor more wine-oriented.
The cabinets should be in place in six to eight weeks.

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.
