Good spot to sip before Ravens games
Went to the Ravens-Falcons game Thursday night. Ugh! An ugly 10-9 loss. They used to call these games "exhibition games." This raises the question: what was on exhibit last night?
On a happier note I did find a spot that sells good beer at a relative "bargain." It is Ravenswalk, the walkway running between Camden Yards and M & T. There eight restaurants have set up booths selling food and beverages.
For $5 I got a 16 ounce cup draft Guinness. This beer stand, between the Attman's and Oregon Grille stands, also sold $5, 16 ounce cups of Smitwick's and Harp.
Other stands in Ravenswalk sold 22 and 24 ounce cans of Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite for $5. Twenty four ounce cans of imports went for $7.
This was cheaper than inside the stadium, where beers stands were selling domestic beers for $7 and premium beers for $8 a cup (not sure of the size, but it was either 12 or 16 ounces). Cans of Bud, 16 ounces, were $7.
The drawback to buying beer at Ravenswalk: You gotta drink it before you go inside the stadium.
You can't take beer inside M&T, and if you try to sneak it in the security, "pat-down" people will probably catch you.
Any other suggested spots for Ravens beer drinkers?






Comments
Unfortunately, your fine beer selections within the stadium are pretty slim (guinness and Sam Adams). We generally enjoy our own at the Tailgate. If that fails, the Firefighter's union hall has pretty cheap cans of beer to get inside out of the cold.
