Hurricane specials at Bertha's
Hurricane Bertha may be swelling in the central Atlantic Ocean, but Charm City drinkers have cause to celebrate.
Since the season's first big storm is called Bertha, the Fells Point bar and restaurant of the same name is offering discounted hurricane drinks!
See, there's a silver lining in everything.
Bartender Bernard Lyons isn't exactly sure about the details, but if you bug him, he'll give you a buck or two off a hurricane drink. He might even name a drink after the storm.
"Maybe we'll have to lock everybody in the bar like it's an emergency and force them to drink," Lyons said.
"Check in with us as the hurricane grows. You'll find larger and larger drinks."

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.

Well, my family and I are flying in from London in a couple or weeks time and holidaying in Orlando this summer, so here's hoping all these storms miss Florida :)
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
