Canton

I recently visited Canton in Baltimore for the first time ever. I heard alot of great things about it so i convinced my friends to go. It reminded me alot of Fells Point mainly because of the streets where the bars are lcoated. We went into the first bar called Claddagh Pub because we were lucky enough to find a parking spot right out front. When we entered, we were somewhat overwhelmed with the amount of people in there. We are used to big crowds but I guess we just didn't know what to expect from places in Canton. We walked around the bar and decided it was too packed, so we left and ventured off to another bar across the street.

This bar was called Coburn's Tavern. There was much more space to breath here. We walked around the first floor and made our way up to the second floor where there was a dance floor and more of a crowd. We weren't in the mood to dance so instead we went back downstairs and found ourselves a seat at the bar.

We immediately found ourselves chatting up a storm with the bartender who kept giving us free drinks. This was like the best night ever! Rarely in Towson do bartenders continue to hand out free drinks to the same people all night. My friends and I found that the crowd was much more mature and laid back that those of Towson bars and Powerplant. We were definitely feeling Canton for sure! We all loved the change in scenery and people that Canton had to offer and we definitely will return there very soon and more often!
