Why You Should Go: To the Greeks, Dionysus was the god of the wine, ritual madness and ecstasy. To Baltimoreans, Dionysus is the spot to go for wine, Ravens madness and the agony and the ecstasies of being an Orioles fan. This week, pay homage to the best of both civilizations by enjoy the upscale tavern fare at Dionysus Restaurant & Lounge.

Why You’ll Love It: This hidden gem in historic Mount Vernon offers an eclectic menu in a casual and hip environment. Hungry folks can sit down for a full dinner while sports fans can watch their favorite teams on multiple high-def screens in the basement bar - where you’ll get a complimentary “Buck Shot” for every Ravens touchdown and Orioles run. 

What to Eat: Taste classic pub grub like fried calamari with diablo marinara and wings with buffalo or XXX hot sauce. There’s also more creative fare, like a steak sandwich with caramelized shallots and goat cheese spread or the BALT, a toasted sandwich with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and tarragon mayo. Wash it all down with their diverse selection of draft beers for the perfect Baltimore meal.
