Southside Saloon

A typical conversation in this bar.
My boyfriend and I go in to get a bottle of wine and a 6-​pack of Boh.
Man: Nice weather, isn’t it?
My boyfriend: Yes, so warm all of a sudden.
Man: (Looks at me) Yeah, it’s THONG weather! (and nods at my boyfriend)
I live across the street and have gone into Southside numerous times. The place is a truly South Baltimore bar. Only the locals come here and 98% of the time there is a motorized wheelchair chained up to the pole out front. (That explains the crowd that frequents Southside. I’ve even seen a middle-​aged woman ride a razor into this bar.) There are pool tables in the back, Keno poker, and TVs for sports games. They also have take-​out beer and wine which is why I frequent Southside.
One time I came in for a drink, sat down at the bar, and the bartender reached below the bar, pulled a huge hunk of meat out of a mini-​fridge and asked me if I wanted to buy it.
Another time I walked in for a beer with a friend and we noticed the local bum grabbing a drink about 3 stools down.
That’s Southside. Cheap and South Baltimore.
$ 1 Bohs on draft!

A must on Fort Ave. — get away from the crowds in Federal Hill and come here for the cheapest beer in town and the cool regular people!
