Charles Street & Federal Hill Attractions

Charles Street Bars

Out and About  in Charles Street Baltimore – Feeling the Buzz
Friends of ours who were visiting the United States from England, remarked how different and trendy the street scene was in Charles Street in downtown Baltimore, compared to their quiet suburban streets in North West London.  They were absolutely fascinated by the exciting street scene that unfolded before their eyes, with something new and different around virtually every corner.

Federal Hill Restaurants and Old World English Pubs
There’s hardly a British suburb, be it in a tiny country village or in one of the big cities, that doesn’t have its large selection of quaintly named neighborhood pubs.  It’s a rare suburb that doesn’t have several, often with one on every second high street corner! You’ll see the same ‘regulars’ seated at their favorite table, tankard in hand, quaffing their pint of bitters, night after night. Pool table, and dart board resound with banter and laughter, and the regular Premier League football game (as soccer is called in the UK) will have excited fans in front of the big TV, loudly berating any ‘ref’ who penalizes one of the players from the locally supported team. Probably not the sort of scene one is likely to encounter in one of the many eateries clustered around Federal Hill! Frequenting the ‘local’, as the English like to describe their neighborhood pub, is a way of life that is peculiarly British, and very different it is.

Cross Street
Market
To get the real feel of American beer and food at its best though, one can’t do better than stroll along Cross Street between Light St. and Charles St. With its dozens of bars and restaurants, this street scene has become the favorite venue for locals and tourists alike, with the tremendous range of fresh seafood and other choice eating establishments on offer. The Cross Street Market, home to around two dozen merchants alone, caters for every taste, from eating in store to fast food takeaways, and there’s lots more to see and sample.
