At Sparrows Point on the Patapsco River at the entrance to Baltimore Harbor, Dock of the Bay delivers cold drinks and waterfront bar energy with the industrial Baltimore harbor backdrop: steel mills, working cranes, and the broad Patapsco framing every view. The name is a nod to Otis Redding’s legendary song, and the whole setup has the genuine, slightly gritty character of a waterfront bar that exists because the water is right there and someone knew a good bar belongs beside it.
