After last week's discussion, this was an easy choice.
I've decided to make this week's FFF topic the top five best free bar snacks.
The caveat is, they have to be something the bar sets out for free.
Like the free Old Bay cheese balls at Quigleys, which just might be on my list.
The hard Utz pretzels Duda's in Fells Point also might be on the list.
What else can you think of?

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.

OPI Party mix!
It's just not a party without the mix!
Also, Racer's on Harford Road for their wonderful peanuts. Bonus points for being able to throw the shells on the floor.

The chips @ Mex are also pretty good.

The fresh popcorn at Elliott's Pour House is my absolute favorite bar snack (and sometimes my dinner).
