Best Bars in Baltimore
Diamondback Brewing Co.
Diamondback Brewing is Baltimore's most sports-connected craft brewery, named in a nod to Maryland's diamondback terrapin and popular with Orioles and Ravens fans who stop for a pre-game pint just a short walk from Camden Yards. The industrial taproom hosts watch parties and post-game crowds with the easy familiarity of a neighborhood local.
DuClaw Brewing Company
Baltimore-born craft brewery with bold, boundary-pushing beers and a lively taproom near the stadiums. Their creative seasonal releases and gameday specials make it a popular pre-game destination for Ravens and Orioles fans heading to Camden Yards or M&T Bank.
Fells Point Historic Bar District
Fells Point is Baltimore's most historic waterfront neighborhood and its most spirited bar district, with cobblestone streets lined with taverns, pubs, and craft beer bars where Orioles and Ravens fans have been gathering for generations. The Cat's Eye Pub, Max's Taphouse — with its 100+ draft lines — and numerous other establishments create a dense and genuinely exciting drinking neighborhood within reach of both stadiums via water taxi. Spending an afternoon in Fells Point before an Orioles game is as Baltimore as a Natty Boh.
Fells Point Waterfront Bar District

Pratt Street Ale House
The Pratt Street Ale House has been anchoring the Inner Harbor sports bar scene for decades, pouring National Bohemian (Natty Boh) alongside dozens of craft taps to Orioles and Ravens fans crossing the street from the stadiums. The no-frills atmosphere and Baltimore sports DNA make it the kind of pre-game bar that every city wishes it had.
The Horse You Came In On Saloon
America's oldest continuously operating saloon, established in 1775 in Fells Point, reportedly the last place Edgar Allan Poe was seen alive. Live music nightly and a raucous gameday atmosphere make this a must-visit before or after games at Camden Yards or M&T Bank Stadium.

Sports travelers who use the Inner Harbor as their base of operations discover a city far more vibrant and interesting than its national reputation suggests.
Baltimore Inner Harbor Sports Walk
The Baltimore Inner Harbor promenade connects Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium through a scenic waterfront corridor that makes game-day arrival a destination experience in itself.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards Tour
Tour the ballpark that changed stadium design forever with a guided walk through Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the 1992 retro-classic that inspired every major league park built since.
