Hi, im a recent grad living near fells. I’m recently single and just looking to get out of my apartment and meet folks. One of my big passions is live music, in college me and my friends would go to a dive bar to watch random unknown bands and always had a great time. Only thing is none of my friends in Bmore are really into that scene and I’d feel a little awkward going alone depending on the bar. Are there any shows/music parties that are really good for meeting people in the city? I have been to the 8x10 to see one of my favorite bands and had a blast, just wondering if there are other recommendations. Thanks

Edit: thanks for all the awesome replies. Got a lot of places to try out

Go to Cat’s Eye Pub! Great music, people and Morgan McCully just won Baltimore’s Best bartender!

1919 has music some nights too - check out their FB page for details. Also just a gem of a bar in Fells in general.

The Ottobar is more venue than bar (fantastic spot regardless) but the upstairs is a great bar that has smaller shows and good DJ sets sometimes - might be up your alley

Ottobar is both a bar and music venue. I go regularly for bar purposes more than I do for music. I’d say most of the regulars would be in a similar situation

Yeah they do 2 for 1 drinks on Tuesday which is a pretty popular night. Good times

Next Phaze Cafe has good seafood and great live music on weekend nights

Don't go to 8 x 10 if you're a woman. The owner Brian is a known groper.
