In Baltimore’s cultural and historic Mount Vernon district where you can also find some of the best cafes in the city, we have Topside, another favourite rooftop bar and garden restaurant that Trip101 loves! From this bar, you can see the whole of Chesapeake Bay – a prelude to the seafood-forward dishes that dominate Topside’s menu. One of the best pairings you can have at Topside are the Mussels & Clams or Catfish & Chips with any one of the interesting craft beers on tap or in bottles and cans. For those who would like to get a little fancier, Topside does some mean craft cocktails, as well!

However, this just calls for living it up in style and splashing out on a weekend staycation at the hotel! Splash Bar and Grill has one of the best infinity pools in the city, extending into that magnificent harbour view. Float your cares away while keeping the bar’s deliciously boozy popsicles close by!

The Budweiser Roof Deck is a fun experience on the weekends, especially for out-of-towners! Stop by for beers (Budweiser, of course) and burgers when an Oriole game is on because the deck of this bar overlooks the centre field! An additional sweetener is the fireworks displays on most Friday nights after the games and live music from bands that play for Saturday home games.
