I live down the street and don't bother with it anymore. Really sucks moving to Midtown/Mt. Vernon this year because antime we want to go out we really have to go back up to Hampden. If there were any decent sized houses up there I'd move back in a heart beat because the rest of Baltimore seems dead now. And I've asked a few bar tenders in this area why this is the case and they all say they have neither the business nor people willing to work those time anymore

The bars in Federal Hill are still lively.

True, but that's a scene I don't tend to think about

Oh, it's nothing againt it. I just feel (amd anecdotally have seen) that's where recent college grads living here tend to go. I'm out of that phase now so don't think to head down there a lot. To the point of the original question though. The reasons I stated for hanging out there frequently are the reasons things are still lively there late at night

That's fair and makes sense. I've seen down here that thankfully it's not just the college-y parts of Fed Hill that are lively. The whole area has bars and restaurants that get reasonable levels of activity from various age groups. I agree that I think it's for the reasons you mentioned - there's more business in general.

Any suggestions for places that aren’t full of recent college grads?

I think it kind of depends on tolerance for their existence (😉), but here are some places I enjoy so far that are more laid back and not "college town party" vibes like the Cross Street Market area will have:

Brewer's Cask; I Don't Know (pretty chill during happy hours but I know Ravens games can be loud here); Mums; Riverside Taphouse; Checkerspot Brewery.

That's all I have for now - just moved here October but I'm sure I'll find more!

Things have seemed pretty lively to me in Station North/Old Goucher/Charles Village areas.
