Reply to Happy Hour/Afternoon Drinks Fed Hill? by ahbagelxo

Riverside taphouse opens at 12p everyday. They're good for specialty drinks but no happy hour. It's like the 1500 block of light street.

Mother's opens at 12 as well. More standard bar options drinkwise, but you should be able to catch a special. More of a bar atmosphere than riverside. It's down by the cross street market.

Right across from it is Magerks. Nothing special about it. Pretty average food and drinks. I believe they also open at 12 though.

Back by Riverside is Rowan Tree, on Charles St. It's strictly a bar, it'll be mostly empty except for the regular alcoholics. It's owned by an old gay couple and is gay friendly/ lightly themed, but not actually a gay bar. The best for a "bar atmosphere" option. Reds' (the main bartender) rum punch is great. If Donna is bartending, don't try to order anything special lol. They have a backroom with a free pool table, which is nice. If you're not looking for food, this would be my suggestion. Even if you do get hungry, you can order food in and eat it there. They open at 1pm during the week.

I think it means people really like drinking and what society says are valued skills, knowledge, and abilities and what someone is actually compensated for those skills, knowledge, and abilities don't always line up perfectly or the way we would initially think.

For example, someone just repaired my leaky roof. I paid a shit ton: they literally made more in the 2 hours making the repairs than I make for two hours of work with two degrees (bachelor and master) by at least a factor of 25 (I did the math). We both have lots of experience. Their trade being more lucrative than my office job is not so uncommon. But I'd be lying if "I am in the wrong job," didn't pass my lips at least a half dozen times since the work was completed.

I also know I couldn't get up on my roof and do what they did... So I feel OK with what I paid them for the job and I won't be running out to learn how to fix roofs any time soon.

I'd say it's pretty diverse. Good food and nice drinks. I cannot say I've ever had a bad meal! My girlfriend gets their wings which are delicious and I get burgers, meatballs, steamed skrimpsss. 10/10 would recommend. Bartenders are nice too!

Bramble is outstanding and they rotate their flavors every week - there’s always something new to try. A lovely little area to sit inside as well.

Ovenbird is super super yummy!! No indoor seating.

Bonjour is lovely, the quiche is delicious and Lake Roland is right next door. I sometimes get a Bonjour and take it to the lake to eat by the water. I think there’s a good playground there!

Maillard is good, but Bramble is better.

Cafe Dear Leon is outstanding, no indoor seating, but it’s right on the square in Canton.

Cunningham’s in Towson is fantastic, but you have to get there early for the baked goods. They have a nice seating area and there’s a nice playground on Highland Ave, a few minutes drive away. They have a full breakfast menu as well, if you’re in the mood for that.
