Wow as someone who lives in Mount Vernon I really feel that. It feels like I have to go to DC, or at least Fells Point or Pigtown, for an actual nightlife and it’s partly why 99% of the time I sit at home doing nothing but Reddit because there’s nothing interesting in my immediate vicinity.

What’s there at Station North and Old Groucher?

EDIT: Ok there is the Crown at Station North. Maybe I should find a time to go there (though heard it can be very hit or miss depending on who’s playing).

Bummer that the North Avenue Market didn’t survive.

Station North/Old Goucher has the best nightlife in the city, IMO, for those not into the Fed/Canton/Fells scenes.

Wow. Thanks for considering Pigtown for nightlife!

As bad as Mt. Vernon may have it, our businesses really have it rough. Aside from Bob’s Bar (on the most dangerous intersection in the neighborhood), none of the other bars (the few we have) are open daily. And it’s not their faults…there’s just not enough business or money to go around in Pigtown to justify operating more than 3-4 days. It’s sad. The pandemic hit hard over here.
