Water St, Downtown

Water St. is a fun bar setting on a small confined stone street, secluded from the main roads in between office buildings. The great thing about Water St. is the bands that play on specific nights of the week, usually the weekends. This offers a very unique crowd of musicians, college kids, and young employees. Access to this street is fair, with parking on adjasent streets nearby. This street is one of Baltimore's most hidden secrets because of its somewhat remote location. A must visit!

Water St reminds me of a less crowded Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans. You have a narrow street filled with party goers who are stumbling in and out of bars, live music, and underage drinkers trying to disguise their alcohol in plastic cups. There’s even that somewhat trashy feel for the place.

Water street is small in length, it's rough cobblestone path--almost an alley--bush up against some of the larger structures in downtown Baltimore. There are several historic bars along Water street that unanimously open their doors to allow patrons to gather and mingle in an outdoor party-like atmosphere. Typically, on weekends, each end of the narrow street is closed to traffic and live music fills the air while the young crowd drinks beer from plastic cups. If you visit, aim for happy hour around 6pm when the crowd is fresh and nearby streets are opening up their free parking.
