Address: 34 Market Place, Baltimore, MD 21202
Cat's Eye Pub on the Fells Point waterfront runs live blues and rock nearly every night with no cover, a cramped, well-worn Thames Street institution.
Tip: There is live music almost nightly and no cover; it is cash-friendly and tight.
The 8x10 in Federal Hill is a long-running music club booking jam bands, funk and touring acts in an intimate room just off Cross Street Market.
Tip: It is a small standing-room club; arrive early for the touring-act nights to get near the stage.
Topside crowns Hotel Revival on the 14th floor in Mount Vernon, a rooftop bar and kitchen with some of the city's widest views over the Washington Monument.
Tip: Go at golden hour for the Mount Vernon and harbour views; reserve a window table.
The Bygone tops the Four Seasons on the 29th floor, a 1920s-style rooftop bar and restaurant with panoramic views across the Inner Harbor.
Tip: It is the highest bar in the city; come for a cocktail and the window view at sunset.
W.C. Harlan in Remington is a candlelit cocktail bar behind an unmarked door, Lane Harlan's first room, pouring seasonal drinks and a deep amaro list.

The Elk Room in Harbor East is a hidden cocktail bar behind Italian Disco, pouring spirit-forward classics in a dim, vintage Atlas Restaurant Group room.
Tip: Enter through Italian Disco; the list runs spirit-forward and classic.
