Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Annapolis, Maryland
Annapolis's bar scene carries some real history: Middleton Tavern, right on City Dock near the Naval Academy, has operated continuously since 1750 and once counted George Washington and Thomas Jefferson among its patrons. BarFinder lists 69 venues across the city today, led by sports bars, classic bars, and pubs, with neighbors like McGarvey's Saloon carrying that same historic waterfront-tavern feel into the present. From colonial-era taverns to modern cocktail bars like Parley Room, Annapolis pairs its history with a genuinely active night-out scene.
