About

If you're into history, ghosts, and a strong drink in a genuinely old bar, this is your spot. The Horse You Came In On Saloon is the last known place Edgar Allan Poe had a drink before his mysterious death in 1849, and the place has been leaning into that macabre legacy ever since. It's a dive bar with live entertainment, a mixed gay-straight crowd, and regulars who range from their 20s to their 50s.

The bar opens at 5pm on weeknights, noon on weekends, and stays open until 1:30am except Sunday (closes at 10pm). It's in Fells Point, a historic waterfront neighborhood with plenty of other nightlife options nearby.
