The 13th Floor   

If you're a superstitious type, you might think of avoiding this tacky-cool haunt located on the 13th floor of Baltimore's historic, turn-of-the-century Belvedere Hotel. But then you'd miss the charming, back-in-time, bird's-eye view of historic, lamp-lined Charles Street and all the gorgeous, old Georgian-style landmark buildings. Besides the view, there's a whole lotta shakin' going on here -- literally. Live local music from the likes of Mama Jama, Mambo Cambo, Jah Works and Kelly Bell make this a good stop for groovin' and checking out the newest names on the Baltimore music scene in a laid-back, upscale environment. The 13th Floor is nothing like the mega dance clubs in B-more, but more of a hip lounge that packs 'em in. Happy hour runs from 6-9PM on the weeknights when the place is open with two-for-one drinks. Eat before you ascend the elevator, though. Noshes at the 13th Floor are limited to brick-oven gourmet pizzas.
