CLUB 1722
1722 N. Charles Street
410/727-7431
HOURS:

Daily, 12am-5am

When most other bars are wrapping it up around 2am, Club 1722 is just getting started. The club is becoming an extremely popular place for retreat after all the other bars in town close for the evening. Although this largely gay after-hours club does not sell alcohol, you can bring your own. The 3-story club sees a tremendous variety in its crowd, young and old, gay and straight, and everyone is dancing all night long. The club’s DJs play some slamming house music, so expect a huge crowd and lines out the door on weekends.

Club Charles
1724 N. Charles Street
410/727-8815

HOURS:

Daily, 6pm to 2am

Club Charles is one of the most popular, if not THE most popular club in downtown Baltimore. There are all types in here, from tight-ass business executives to junkies. Although the club is located in an unsafe neighborhood, just be sure to park in a well-lit area or try to carpool with friends. The club is also directly across the street from Everyman Theater, and is a prime spot for theater patrons who want to cap the night off (or begin it) with a couple of rounds. Unfortunately, music is coming from the jukebox; however, the club is known for its celebrity clientele. Do not leave this place without trying a Nuclear Fizz -- a house specialty drink.
