Perhaps the city's most known bar (thanks to Esquire for once naming it the second best in the entire country) Brewer's Art is a Baltimore institution that's always a contender for the best of the best. By now we all know the wonders of its house beers. But at this point you can enjoy a bottle of Ozzy or can of Resurrection on the couch at home. So consider this a reminder that the actual Brewer's Art is still one of Baltimore's most beloved bars and for good reason: Upstairs remains civilized and classy while a quick walk downstairs transports you to a dark dungeon pouring delicious Belgian ales. It's a striking night-and-day dichotomy and just one of the many reasons Brewer's remains a favorite to Baltimoreans young and old.
