About Fells Point

Fells Point grew up as a shipbuilding port in the 1700s, and its brick rowhouses and Belgian-block streets still lead down to the water. Today it is one of the city’s busiest places to eat and drink, with old taverns next to newer restaurants.

Weekend nights are lively and loud; weekday dinners are calmer.
Parking is tight; a garage or a rideshare saves circling.
