Hi r/baltimore!

Anyone have any recommendations for a good happy hour in Hampden on a Monday night? I've lived in Hampden for a bit but I'm a major homebody so I haven't really explored happy hours in the neighborhood. I love a good bar that I can sit at for a while with a book and relax. I'm big on good cocktails (been to Bluebird several times) but also love a good beer. Would love to hear suggestions that I can explore tonight!

Also - open to suggestions for other nights of the week as well. I just know some places are closed on Monday! TIA :)

Hampden is super dead on Mondays. It’s pretty much just industry night at Holy Frijoles or Frazier’s, though a few other places like Arthouse are open, but I’m unaware of HH specials.

I will drink $5 figgy pops at Rocket to Venus all day long (until 6:30 pm).

Dylan's has happy hour specials.

La Cuchara also has a pretty good happy hour.

And how could I forget! Blue Pit is my favorite happy hour spot (along with pre-Covid Paulie Gee's back bar happy hour, but they're not open on Mondays, and I'm not sure if HH is back yet because I am also a homebody).

The best happy hour in the city used to be La Cuchara. Covid effectively killed that.

But the best now I would say is Dutch Courage.

You’ll find a great cocktail there, a very chill vibe where you won’t get constantly bothered, and very cheap drinks during their usual HH. The bartenders make a daily cocktail that is $7, and there’s a daily G&T special for $7, as well.

Great spot!

Edited to add: also consider 29th Street Tavern for a great spot with good beer selection and a chill place to read a book! Their HH special is a $7.50 burger and fries on Monday. :)

Neither of these are Hampden - Remington, but close.

Marg Monday at holy frijoles! $7 liter margs or $3 regular margs. You can get any of the house flavors for that price.

Nepenthe has good beer, food, and cocktails, but is closed on Mondays. They do a happy hour Tu-Th, though.

Avenue Kitchen and Bar has $10 burgers, $6 bourbon and $4 drafts on Monday nights.

Full Tilt Brewing is just a short drive or ride north. They're open on Mondays and usually pretty quiet.

Art House has good Monday happy hour specials.
