Light Street Station sold, gutted
Say goodbye to the Light Street Station (pictured).
The Federal Hill neighborhood bar near the intersection of Light and Ostend streets has been sold.
The new owners plan to open a bar/restaurant there called the Rowhouse Grill.
This news makes me sad and gleeful at the same time.
See, I only went there once. It was a wild, hilarious trip -- one of my most favorite nights out in Baltimore.
I never went back, because I knew if I did, it could never compare to the awesomeness of my first time there.
So I'm sad the Station closed. But I'm kind of glad that I got to it before it did.
I'll dig back through the archives today and post my review of the Station. I think it's one of my crazier nightlife columns.

I knew that place was doomed as soon as the smoking ban was on the horizon. I feel really bad because it really was pretty much the last old(est) school bar left on light st. I paused a bit walking past it the other night *sniff*

South Baltimore can definitely use another restaurant. It will always be Light Street Station to me but I do like the new name. Any news on what type of food they are going to serve?
