Baltimore Guide: Ale & Arts

What a great article by the Baltimore Guide! Thanks for the compliments:

“Glass Grill is a fine place to go for lunch, but we get the feeling that it’s an absolutely great place to go for happy hour, a place to sidle up to the bar with a few friends and order bar snacks, sandwiches and cold beers.

The Glass Grill is on Eastern Avenue just east of I-95. It is next door to McFadden Art Glass studios, and the two establishments have a symbiotic relationship. Glass Grill patrons can watch glassblowing demonstrations, and on Date Nights can even make a little keepsake of their own.

Diners can see the hand-blown art glass produced at the studio every day. Vases and goblets and figurines—we liked the one-armed snowman, who seems to be the victim of too-vigorous dusting—are lined up above the bar, and the chandeliers are colorful fantasias of blown glass. It is a treat for the eye.

The restaurant offers a full menu of casual fare—bar snacks, salads, sandwiches and wraps. There are also several entrees, again aimed toward a bar crowd. There’s bourbon glazed salmon, a New York Strip steak, grilled chicken grilled shrimp and barbecued ribs.

Prices are moderate, from $14 (chicken) to $19 (steak). The menu also features a market-price crabcake, meatloaf and fish and chips.

Whatever you end up ordering, do not miss the crab dip ($9.99). It is a gooey, cheesy, warm cupful of crabby delight nestled in a bread bowl and surrounded by chips and more bread for dipping. Go directly for the homemade potato chips smothered in Old Bay and dip away. There are tricolor tortilla chips, but you’ve had those before; and the French bread is nicely toasted—but for the best experience, elbow your friends aside and hog all those potato chips.”
