Bye bye Vine
This is all that's left of The Vine.
The city's most unpretentious wine bar had a short but sweet stint at the corner of Fort Avenue and South Hanover Street.
The famous Five Wines for $5 special lives on at nearby Charlotte's, but The Vine will always hold a special place in my heart (and liver).
Cheers!

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,
It's a bit of a stretch, but this made me think of your recent post about the Lo-Fi being quiet. Any updates?

Nothing yet, Courtney. Neil's not returning my calls, and as far as I can tell, it's still silent.

So, what are they doing w/ that lot/space?

They are once again going to rebuild it into a little pub/ restaurant with outdoor seating. It should turn out real nice since they are building it from the ground up.
