Chips & Salsa
JD C.

I stumbled upon Bayside Cantina while exploring Canton. This restaurant is located by the water, but behind a condominium building. I saw a sign off the main road for a different spot and stumbled upon Bayside Cantina. First, the parking is difficult but it is worth it. When I went, I didn't have a reservation and walked up, however I'd recommend you make a reservation. They have seating indoor/outdoor, but they normally don't have enough staff to cover a completely full house. I sat down and they start you off with Chips & Salsa which is always a good sign. Then, I ordered tacos and I like the fact that I can mix up the protein options, however the toppings must be consistent. Lastly, I love a Mexican restaurant that has plantains on the menu. Both selections were tasty. All in all, I would return for lunch by the water. The ambience is more of a chill vibe. However, I highly recommend packing your patience for parking and the staff; the service was a bit slow.

Friendly server, waterfront views and solid blend of Mexican/Latino options to choose from. I've frequented this location a few times this year and haven't had anything I didn't like!

Sizzling fajita combo

I haven't had one bad thing on their menu. When I tell you the food is sooooo good! I also love that they have patio seating along the water. Complimentary chips and salsa always hits and the drinks are refreshing too! One of my absolute favorite spots in Baltimore.

Margarita

Bayside Cantina has a great spot on the harbor with ample outdoor and indoor seating. The food is decent, the margaritas are decent. Nothing I've eaten has blown me away but it's still a solid spot especially for the location and the vibes. I have not had any issues with their service either. I need to come back for their bottomless brunch!

Good vibes however mid food and drinks. Ordered chilli chipotle burger and server brought a regular burger. When confronted they brought me some chilli soup to go w it

A Balto staple for so many reasons: Good food Good drinks Great location Lots of space (indoors, outdoors, big groups) Friendly service Vegetarian-friendly options So why 4 stars only? While service is friendly, they're not always super attentive or accurate in their orders... especially when busy, but it happens right? I love being able to walk here for a casual drink and bite overlooking the water. The wait is never terrible bc of all their tables. Food is always fresh: chips and salsa are top notch. Healthy/ fair portions, wide menu variety. A definite go-to for me!

Mezcalita
Damilola J.

Definitely loved this place! It felt like I was going to a beach spot in Florida! The music, vibes, and service were top tier! I decided to stay at the bar and enjoy happy hour after work, and ordered a Mezcalita. The bartender was super nice and walked me through the drink menu to figure out what kind of drink I was in the mood for. The Mezcalita was great if you enjoy the smoky flavor of mezcal. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the waterfront and also enjoyed connecting with others at the bar. Will definitely come back to try the food. It looked super good and the menu is also very affordable. Highly recommend.

Stopped in for lunch with some friends we were visiting. Such a gorgeous view and the weather was amazing. Food was okay but I would try this place again but order something different. Our service was good and friendly

Ceviche
Sabrina P.

The view of the water and the location is beautiful. Also the service was great, however the food was just okay. I had higher hopes. The ceviche wasn't bad but I was confused why the shrimp were in such large pieces especially when the plantains provided to scoop the ceviche weren't large enough. Also the chicken fajitas could use more seasoning.

Pina Colada and margarita.
Hannah F.

Great drinks and food. We sat at the bar and our server Jesse was great. The menu was priced well and flavor was on point. The lighting was great with the great view of the harbor. Will definitely return again soon.

Shirlonda S.

The view is great, wonderful service, the food was good, the prices are fair. The Bellini was really good as well. There is free parking in the area, it's a little walk if you park in the lot. Water taxi's are available also. Great experience.

Bayside Cantina is a great spot for the views--overlooks the water. Great for a spring/summer day. With that being said, my friends & I visited on 3/26, a warm day (65 degrees). When the weather starts to warm up, you should automatically have staff because more people are going to be out and about. They were short staffed, wait times for tables and food was long, and the hostess seemed a little confused. I heard her tell several groups several different things as they came in. Anyways, the fajitas were good. The drinks were decent. The customer service just could've been better.

We sat outdoors to watch the sunset. It was not very busy but service was quite slow (hence the 4 stars). The Chicha Martini was ok. And I wish they put it in a nicer martini glass. We had mixed shrimp and fish ceviche appetizer. After trying a couple of restaurants, I finally had the best Maryland crab cakes here among the places we ate at during this trip. I love the fried plantains I chose as one of the sides.

The bar is frequently visited by the local ghost tour. The basement dining area a few rooms away used to be an infirmary/morgue during the civil war. Back to the bar. It's tiny, but the main words that come to mind are dank and musty. Decorations are outdated. Lighting is dim. A fluorescent glow lurches out from behind the bar. Drinks and Service: Only one bartender has been there during my visits and he is a class act. A friendly guy with a creepy tinge, slinging drinks like a champ. They always have a house punch available. Get it. Big fan of Moscow mules here too. Nothing knock your socks off great, but everything is just right. Fells point creepy tip: Head to the side street behind Thames St. (think it's Shakespeare St.) to see the old Fell family crypt.

This one was an unexpected gem and one of the most memorable stops of our Fells Point trip…read more We walked in on a Thursday night (not sure of the exact time), and it was completely empty. No bartender in sight, no other patrons, no background noise. For a moment, we genuinely wondered if we were in the right place. The bar is down a flight of stairs, tucked into the basement, and it's notable because it's Fells Point's only and possibly first basement bar, which already gives it serious character points. We waited near the bar for a few minutes, heard nothing, saw no one, and eventually started heading back up the stairs to leave. That's when Steve, the bartender, literally came after usnot in a weird way, but in a very human, "Hey! Sorry about that, I was in the stock room come back in!" way. And honestly? From that moment on, the experience completely flipped. Steve was phenomenal. Friendly, welcoming, deeply knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the place. He's worked there for 18 years, and once we sat down, he turned the bar into a living history lesson. He shared stories about Fells Point, Baltimore, Edgar Allan Poe, the building itself, and all the ghost stories tied to the space. He also told us about the celebrities who've passed through, including the fun detail that Blake Shelton once sat in the very bar stool I was sitting in and ordered a Bullet bourbon. Naturally, that kind of trivia just adds to the charm. Drink-wise, I ordered an Angry Orchard, and my friend had a single Tito's with cranberry and soda water. Our total was $26.16, which feels pretty standard for Baltimore definitely not cheap, but not shocking either. The bar itself is small, intimate, and packed with atmosphere exposed brick, low ceilings, and that cozy, historic, slightly haunted vibe you hope for in a basement bar. It's also connected to The William Fell Inn hotel through a separate entrance, which makes it feel like a hidden secret rather than a tourist stop. We loved the history, the stories, the ghosts, the setting and especially Steve. Being the only patrons that night was actually a gift, because it let us really soak it all in. That said, we're absolutely planning to come back on a busy night to see how the energy shifts when it's full. If you love historic bars, good storytelling, and places that feel like they've seen things Anchor Bar is a must. ‍

We did not try the food as it was past the restaurant hours being open and we had already eaten at a restaurant in the alleyway. I will be doing a review on that Italian restaurant soon because it was really good. I loved the whole speakeasy vibe and the music was amazing.

The Cannon Room is a small cocktail bar tucked away in the back of The Pendry and is easily one of my favorite places to grab a drink in Fells Point. Only open after 5pm, it makes for a perfect predinner stop, especially if you are a bourbon fan. Their bourbon selection is seriously impressive, with everything from approachable pours to rare bottles that climb well into the triple digits. They also offer curated bourbon flights that change depending on availability, which is a great way to try something new. The decor deserves just as much attention as the drinks. The room is filled with warm wood accents and subtle Baltimore nautical theming that gives the space a really immersive feel. The centerpiece is the historic cannon that was dredged up from the harbor during construction of the hotel and is now displayed beneath the floor as you enter the bar. Service has always been 10/10. The bartenders clearly take pride in the craft of making cocktails and have the bourbon knowledge to back up the impressive bottle collection. Overall, the Cannon Room is a must stop while visiting Baltimore and an especially easy recommendation for bourbon lovers exploring Fells Point.

Two ciders ran us about $20, which felt reasonable for the setting and quality. We stopped in twice because we really wanted to try the bacon-wrapped goat cheese jalapeño poppers. The first time we weren't hungry enough, so we made a point to come back later and I'm glad we did. They were excellent. Not a huge portion, but it's an appetizer and felt appropriate. They were rich and well balanced, definitely a fork-and-knife situation, and worth the ~$14. The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal here. Tons of dark wood, historic character, and that old-Baltimore charm that makes you feel like the place has stories. It's warm and inviting. Perfect stop for drinks and a snack, especially on a cold day by the water. I'd absolutely go back if only for another hot rum cider and those poppers again.
