Captain Larry's: A Family-Friendly Pub

Thanks to Captain Larry's, many lucky South Baltimore children will have unique memories of New Year's Eve.  Captain Larry's rings in the new year with an indoor ball drop, family-friendly menu and lots of fun nonalcoholic beverages for the kids.  The event has proven so popular that the captain has to take reservations and drop the silvery glittery globe twice.  Parents love this event, because they get to celebrate with their friends and kids - down the street from home.  After the second family-friendly seating, Captain Larry's opens for regular New Year's Eve business.  After all, it is a pub!

I took these photos during another big event at Captain Larry's - the annual chili cook off.  This year the chili cook off benefited Jake's Law and the place was PACKED.  Captain Larry's owners are very community-oriented, and it shows in the events they sponsor and their loyal following.  As far as the food is concerned: try the fish tacos, considered by many to be the best in Baltimore, and the turkey club, made from fresh-roasted turkey and garnished with avocado.  Tasty!  

 

This painter set up her studio across the street in order to paint Captain Larry's, a sure sign of its popularity and status as a Baltimore institution.    I should mention that Hilltop is a fine carry out!
