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.
