Nobles

Is Nobles busy during weekday nights as well?

Just walk around Fed Hill and check out the scene. There's probably a dozen'ish places that fit the bill that are basically next to each other. There's always something going on every Friday and Saturday night, except around holidays.

Sounds good! What time should I go? I'm just now getting started with going out on Friday nights so idk if you mean 7PM, 10PM, or 1AM.

Things to start to pick up around 7 PM'ish. I'd aim for starting NLT than 8 PM. You can definitely check out a few places in a single night.

Yeah I’m in Fed too. I think for crowded bars, definitely Mothers during games, Nobles too. If you are into trivia - CrossBar and Delia Foleys have decent crowds, might have to ask to get on a team but doubt it would be hard. For chiller bars, Pub Dog and Magerks normally have friendly people mulling about.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Things get crowded and drunk starting at 10-11PM. I normally start at 7-8ish and get food somewhere and try to get home before things get too gross but to each their own!

Any bar on Cross Street. One Star gives off the vibe of post-college frat party

You think like me. When i was single and looking to meet people i'd just post up at whatever bar was comfortable and my type of crowd and chat with whoever would listen.

I dont live in Fed anymore but i always enjoy stopping by the market to get drinks at anywhere that will serve em. I'd usually chill there and play on my phone and strike convo when it arose.

I like Magerks too. It got pretty active on Friday and Saturday last year around this time.

Banditos and 101 are more "clubish" but i enjoy their music more than the other bars.

Little Havana is a lowkey spot if you just wanna drink and talk to regulars/older crowd (might find yourself a couger)

Brewers Cask and Rowhouse are cool too, i think they're also more of a late 20s early 30s crowd. Rowhouse has good wings...I had an upset stomach from when i ate their seafood though...

Theres some other bars edging on the riverside area too.

I'd suggest joining a cup in hand Volo league, that's how I met a lot of friends when I moved to the city. For bars, like the others mentioned, anyone around cross street. I'd avoid the Charles, feel like it's douche-y but that's just me

Maxs, rip tide by the bay, nacho mama’s in canton, mommas on the half shell in canton

Not very

Thanks for the info! Yeah I plan on going around 7-8 and staying for a few hours before it gets super drunk and rowdy.

Yeah 7-10 is the best time to get some drinks and talk.

For that time slot, my vote deff goes to Magerks on a Sunday or Rowhouse on Friday or Saturday.
