Where // 801 S. Ann St.

Notable // The giant fireplace is so big you can almost stand inside. When fully stoked, it really roars and can warm the coldest winter night. But this month, you'll need a few cool pints of the pub's locally brewed Oliver Ales.
Vibe // Shoot some pool and relax. There's no ego at this pub.
Crowd // A hodgepodge of ages, but mostly Fells Point denizens.
What to wear // Whatever you want. Don't feel obliged to dress up or down for the Wharf Rat.
