Yeah shitty places tend to go out of business. What popular high profile restaurant went out of business since you’ve been here… and the keywords are popular and high profile?

The point is that it doesn’t seem like there are many super popular places to begin with. But like bond street social seemed popular, and it’s closed now. And small businesses that are successful elsewhere fail here—ie the H&M at the inner harbor.

Lmao How did you come to that conclusion? Bond street was popular in 2013 and died last year due to poor management. H&M isn’t a small business. It’s a major global corp. it left when they officially closed the Light Street Pavilion.

cause nobody wants to go to the inner harbor to shop at fucking H&M???

Fuck H&M they shred their old styles and landfill them instead of donating to non-profits/charity like other clothing retailers because they don’t want to see “the poors” wearing their styles (will hurt their image) If OP says h&m closed in Baltimore it’s probably because people here are smart and don’t want that garbage. Good riddance

Oh yeah the h&m small business that only does $25 billion a year in global revenue.

Bond Street Social was popular but the “early 30s bachelorette party” crowd has moved on

You could have given me 500 guesses on what your answers to that question would have been and I wouldn’t have gotten either of those. Man those are some strange places to choose to make your flawed point.
A terrible, overpriced fake-upscale bro bar in Fells and a chain business in a dying tourist trap mall. If those can’t survive, what possibly could?!

There are MANY popular restaurants that have been doing great over the years

Honestly you’re catching a ton of shade, but there are a few places that made it for sure, that said, the “good” options for anything in town are fairly limited. Even for the city that’s got world renown crab cakes there’s still probably only 20-25 spots on the list that are must go to. I’ve even had bad crab cakes many times in baltimore.
But if you go to Boston? Every single bar and gas station will claim they have the best chowder and they’ll all be pretty damn good. There’s still something lacking here in the nightlife and bar scene for sure. If this is ever to be a real city, you shouldn’t have to take an Uber to get to a good block with bars and shit.
