The word on Long John's Pub
MS reader (and new Remington resident) Allan has the scoop on Long John's Pub (398 W. 29th St.):
Long John's is ... not bad.
It's def. not winning any bar competitions anytime soon, but for what it is, it's a pretty friendly neighborhood dive bar.
Also they have a bucket of five Bud/Michelob Lights and Yuengling cans for $8.50. Nine ounce rails are 2 for 1, or you can just get a "large" (read: pint glass) for $3.50.
And when I was outside smoking, one of the regulars told me about how he used to "fill this city up with LSD," and then showed me and my friend his brand-new nipple rings.
So yeah, character central.

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.
