Field House

Category: Sports Bars
Neighborhood: Canton/Highlandtown

2400 Boston St
Baltimore, MD 21224
(410) 800-4004

You might pass this place several times before you realize his is not a gym, this is not the field house of a nearby campus. I know I never paid attention to the awkwardly square building that has absolutely nothing to offer as far as aesthetics from the outside. Once you are at the door, you do realize this is an eating establishment and you do realize that there is a fairly large patio up front.
The inside is just a huge warehouse like building, that strike a certain time turns into a frat house atmosphere. Loud music and a 20 something thumping crowd. The menu is an absolute mess of American college campus classics, with a few Baltimore Classics (crab cakes). The food is nothing to write home, possibly because a couple frat kids are actually doing the cooking out back. The wine list is miserable but the booze and beer choices can make any college kid (hopefully over 21) smile. The service was friendly and fast, a little slacking on paying attention of what we really wanted...example "keep the fries" and she brought "fries". But overall the service was attentive and quick.
If I was 21 and in college; this would be my hang out place of choice. But as a foodie I would not want to be caught dead here.
Overall rating 2 stars
