The 14 Best Bars In Baltimore - Baltimore - The Infatuation

"To find Rocket To Venus, look for the sculpture of the space-age missile on the side of the building. The namesake of the bar comes from a local legend—tales of a few neighbors who supposedly built a rocketship in a Hampden garage. Expectedly, the bar is a true scene, from Baltimore band Turnstile playing on the patio, a long horseshoe bar and wide circular booths, and an eclectic mix of regulars ranging from punks to plumbers. On nice nights, expect to find friends who’ve brought their pups, drinking local IPAs on the covered patio while neighbors go in and out with their pickup orders of pierogies and vegan wings." - michele berry
