Get Away: Baltimore on a Budget

Make a quick escape to Charm City without breaking the bank.

More Eating and Drinking

After lounging by the pool or playing some indoor billiards back at the Stay Alfred, consider a happy hour cocktail and snacks at Little Havana in Federal Hill (order the Nachos Cubanos for $9.99, made with plantains). Or swig a house draft (such as Schnozzberry) at Pub Dog Pizza and Drafthouse, where the “dog deal” order brings you two beers for $4.59.

For dinner, Loch Bar has plenty of seafood options, but skip the pricey shellfish towers and go for the apps or sandwiches (salmon wrap, Loch burger).

Toward the end of the night, if you’re not quite ready to flip on the TV back at your rental, catch the live magic of a dueling piano bar at Howl At the Moon. For a cover charge around $10, you can close out the evening with Elton John-esque takes on the latest track from Ariana Grande.
