The hippest place in Baltimore to see an alternative rock band is this scruffy, but chic, midtown establishment.

This nightspot offers a breathtaking view of the city from the top floor of the old Belvedere Hotel.

The 13th Floor also serves excellent bar food, including a small selection of delicious desserts.
