Best Black Wednesday Bars In Baltimore

Thanksgiving break isn't just for children. Every year on Thanksgiving, college students come home to spend time with friends and family, and your average Joe gets a day or two off work. After a stressful year, it's only natural to want to take advantage of the break and go enjoy a few rounds at the local bar. With an influx of adults enjoying this night on the town, the day before Thanksgiving has come to be called "Black Wednesday" in the club circuit. If you're looking for a bar or two in your neighborhood with some drink specials and entertainment on Black Wednesday, here are a few you should check out.
Bar Liquorice
801 E. Fort Ave.
Baltimore, MD 21230
(443) 708-1675

If you are looking for a place to cozy up with some friends for an friendly evening of celebration before enjoying your Turkey Day festivities, Bar Liquorice is the place you want to go. Furnished like a lounge-sized living room, the bar offers both comfort and intimacy for a medium sized party. Bring your Black Wednesday party to BL and enjoy jars of Twizzlers scattered about for free munching, plus bottomless bowls of olive oil and rosemary popcorn for every table.

For Black Wednesday, Bar Liquorice will also be offering special drinks appropriate to the season, including Apple Cider Mule and Hot Apple Cider with Cherry Bourbon. Customers may also enjoy a dollar off draft beer and $2 off any glass of wine, plus house sangria for $6.

The Horse You Came In On Saloon

Baltimore, MD 21231

Celebrate the uniquely American holiday of Thanksgiving in what is possibly the oldest bar in America (one year older than America herself). Despite its long and storied history, The Horse You Came In On still remains up to date when it comes to celebrations. Drift on in to this beautiful looking slice of history on Wednesday, November 23 and treat yourself and your friends to $5 bombs, $3 Miller Lights and $10 bottomless cups for the ladies. The saloon side of the bar will be rocking live music, or seat yourself in the cantina and enjoy the music being spun by the DJ. The kitchen will be open late, so hang around for a bite after the show.

Max's Taphouse
737 S. Broadway
Baltimore, MD 21231
(410) 675-6297

Max's Taphouse names itself after its most impressive feature: the 140 rotating draft beers it has on tap. But for beer lovers, there's so much more. Max's Taphouse carries 1,200 bottle beers and has five hand-pumped cask ales. With its location in Fell's Point, Max's has the perfect positioning for a party while you're on the town. Max's is a sports bar with plenty of big screens, and in the middle of Football Season, you could definitely pick worse hangouts. Additionally, Max's has pool tables for the hanging out.

Max's throws a party for Black Wednesday each year, so go for the beer, go for the entertainment or go for the party, but Max's is definitely the place to go.
